I'm a bit sad indeed, i had hopes for, 10 years later, being able to zoom over berlin with a decent visual action, and it's not the case.
big issue is... the graphics and physics engine was never designed to handle the kinda stuff it does now, so it does it so inefficiently...

All these GIANT textures and hundreds of thousands of polygons in just a single frame was never intended...

The engine is designed to run on a system that's got a 450MHz processor with a 66MHz FSB, 128MB of 33MHz ram and a 32MB videocard running at 150MHz..

and a faster computer doesn't make up for that fact. sorta like putting a bigger engine on an airframe... if the airframe can't handle that bigger engine, doesn't matter how much more powerful the engine is, it actually has a negative effect on it...

Check out the size of the zip file. The one I downloaded was 747kbytes. Other than that I not exactly sure what could be the problem. Mine worked ok on windows 7.


Cheers!
