Input lag

1C has modeled FM's perfectly, in real life when you move the stick the plane doesn't respond immediately, it has about 1/4 second delay. This was the hardest thing for me to get used to while getting my PPL. I would imagine this delay would be in ww2 aircraft as well. I have never flown a ww2 bird but I think the delay is suppose to be there. It is just something you have to get used to, just like in real life flying.

I disagree. I find that light aircraft do respond immediately, you can feel it start to move as soon as you put pressure on the yoke or the pedals. When I first started I was very surprised at just how responsive they were. In game right now though, the delay is insane, nothing at all like reality.

But I digress, as it's irrelevant in this case. It's not just the aircraft controls that lag, it's everything. The mouse cursor, changing the fov, radio commands, flicking the gunsight on/off - the whole kit and caboodle.

For reference, my specs:

i7 930 @ 4.8GHz
6GB Kingston DDR3 1600
30GB Agility SSD + 120GB Falcon II SSD
2GB Radeon 6950 (x2 actually, in Crossfire, but that's broken too atm)

I'm running the game at very low settings for the moment and even over water, the input lag is still severe.
