Thanks Ataros, I'll look into that.


Hey d0o0m. Nice to see you mate!! I won't be online most likely. My back still keeps me from being able to sit infront of the PC for long enough for an online session..... Still need that offline pause function I'm afraid! If I do get online at some stage though, I'll give you a shout (time zones permitting!!)

I reinstalled aswell, yestarday . still a slideshow for me . lucky to get 1 frame a second at times But i wont moan i only paid £8 ,so ill try again in a couple of months .... The reason is mainly my fault . i will only play the game if it looks better than modded il2 so refuse to play low graphics . So back to IL2 for me

Edit ::: I know its my GPU before anybody tells me .

tanker 21, looking at the system specs in your sig, I'm not sure why it's so bad for you. To compare my rig is as follows:

AMD x2 240 @2.8GHz
nVidia GTX260 896MB
2GB Corsair DDR RAM
On board sound (AC97)
Windows XP Pro 32-Bit

Whilst I am running at medium/low settings and can't go near London (Freeze then crash most likely due to lack of RAM) I get very smooth gameplay over any other area of the map.

I have the same GPU as you and the game runs fine for me. I don't have grass or ssao checked, but everything else is set near max. It drops to maybe 30fps or so when attacking big bomber formations.

Setting up a custom profile in radeon pro helps quite a bit.

sounds good buddy - keep in mind of course that a quick sortie out of France on the ATAG server usually lasts about 30minutes before your ammo is expended on a bomber flight or you have tossed up enough with some ambitious Jerries.

Look for me on steam and I'd be happy to fly with you for a quick sortie.

S!

Tanker, make sure to give the 12.1 preview drivers a run, they work for me very nicely.

[159th_Jester]

Sounds good, tanker. I'd love to upgrade (and install Windows 7) but it's simply not an option for me now (or in the foreseeable future). Hope the upgrade goes well.
