The person who ran the game well talked about 'disabling dynamic weather'. Something that had occurred to me as an unlikely reason for issues, but I didn't think people would be so dumb as to fly around with it on - and then complain about frame rates!!?

Is that a possibility?

This is what the translation seemed to suggest. Not 100% sure.

Just for information, I ran the game several minutes ago on my working PC that is very weak, even below minimum reqs (P4 3,2GHz, 2gb RAM pc3200 and GT8800 512 mb at 1280x1024x32bit and Windows XP).
On lowest settings I got approximately 22 - 25 FPS in the tutorial. Later will try it much more powerful PC.

Thanks for the info. I guess we just have to test the optimal settings on our systems , and then judge about the game..

The most important is to have fun and enjoy the game. If the settings are or normal or medium doesn't really matter to me.

Officially I don't know now yet, but I personally think that it is possible.

Salute

Here is the game on lowest settings. Note, the external view of the aircraft is NOT what you will see of an enemy external when you are in the cockpit, you see a higher quality view, I assume one which will conform with the visuals you are seeing of your own cockpit.

The difference between the lowest settings for plane and normal one doesn't affect the frame rate at all, but the visual effect is very huge. See the screens attached (again, screens made on the very weak PC - P4 3,2GHz, 2gb RAM pc3200 and Geforce 8800GT 512 mb at 1280x1024x32bit and Windows XP)

Aaaargh!

Back in the day you just put a warning for epileptics on the box and suggested the buy something else. Problem solved.
But no, in 2011 we need an epileptic compliant game - if it's not, you can't sell it.

Jeez, this is Western Europe, you can't sue someone who warned you, yet you refuse to obey and play it anyway.

How many people are suffering of this disease anyway?
(I once met one: They can talk you, and while in the middle of the sentence just faint and drop on the floor - like they just got a headshot...
Anyway, you have be quick to catch them before the hit the floor, especially if the floor is hard.)


Wiki says: 0.5% of the population are suffering of epilepsy.
Wow, that could really damage your sales.
