Default New Discovery…this game is glorious!

OK, it takes some time and some tweaks, but this game is glorious and IMHO nothing else comes close. Best of all…it will get better and better. The graphics are almost photo quality and if some very talented individual can create worthy gun and engine sound mods, we are golden for the next five to 10 years.

most of the people that say this game is "Glorious" have what i would regard as Uber/High end machines.
I can assure you, for people with lower end machines it is most certainly not glorious. My friend who has a 3.7 Ghz dual core CPU cannot run the game at all due to a whopping high of 6 FPS.

I hope (& he does) that this latest patch will bring the game up to speed with its required specs so everyone who has bought it can actually play it.

I know it's a dangerously revolutionary thought, but maybe an uber machine is needed to run this game on high/highest settings? I'd suggest your friend lower his to get better fps. Insane, I know, but it just might work...

There's a surprising amount of FPS gain if you go into CCC and turn everything off apart from 2x AA.
Turn off all 'allow application to decide' settings, and turn off AA in the game.
Mine's an i7 860 @ 2.8ghz, 6 gig ram and a 5770, so not 'uber'. I now get 20-25fps on Very High graphic settings, once I'm off the ground and away from all the grass!

My brother has a Core2 Duo E6850 @ 3.5ghz, 4 gig ram and a 4670, and gets 15fps over the sea on medium settings. Not good, but playable (just). His processor is only running at 30% capacity with the game running.
Give it a bit of time and a few patches and we'll all be raving about it.

The OP is correct, the game is absolutely Glorious.

Well most new games of the flight sim genre require a high end PC for the maximum settings, I have an I7 920 with a 8800gt 512k and 3gb ram running winxp and although I need ground details on low I can run the plane and damage settings on high and it runs at about 25 - 30 fps...will be upgrading soon though.

No warships, one merchant ship, mannequins for crew members, bad voice acting and an inadequate single player experience. The discerning customer would say it has potential, but has a long, long way to go yet.
