Why not?

That's easy, select a current mission that has ground attack aircraft. Double click the aircraft you want to change and select them. Change the number of the aircraft if you want a bigger fight (or smaller). Click the pilot icon for which side you want to fly for. Save the file if you don't want to do this every time.

Early days yet, early days.
It's good to see it out and on the tracks. I patiently await it getting up to speed. It will be a ride!

+1. This game is going to be just fantastic after a couple more patches.

I'm enjoying it too. Feel like I should be getting more out performance wise etc.

I've flown around, given a Do17 a damned good thwacking, landed at an airfield I couldn't identify and didn't wreck the aircraft!!

And do you know what made me feel right at home in a 1946-stylie? That Do17 was heading for the drink, it had obviously 'had it', when my AI wingman came in and finished it off...

Just like old times!

I'm not sure that people that are getting acceptable performance is the minority. It's always going to be those with issues that will be posting the most. I can't say for sure, but I know with my squadmates that do have the game it seems to be about a 60/40 split with good vs bad performance. Still not ideal by any means, but it will continue to get better of that I am fairly confident.

I love it too...

Sure the first flight on my old E8400@3.3Ghz with a 275GTX card and 6Gb memory did prove that it's on it's way out in just a week or two, but with some optimizing the game will be awesome.

Having flown quite a bit aerobatics myself it's a joy to take the Moth up over water (to have fluent fps) and do some hammerheads etc. Try doing that in IL2 and you will cry. Take the spit and to a tailslide... Feels like it should and not some fudgy stuff like in IL2.

Do you have the game?

You can do that easily. Pick a basic quick mission, eg, bomber intercept over London. Change your fighter to a Spit, change the enemy bomber to a JU87, and choose the numbers. Just went 2 against 9 and it went fine. fps dropped at times, and if I could fly my Spit I'd notice it more, but I'm having trouble flying as it is. First tests were with clickable cockpit on, so I'm trying with that off. I've got AA at 4x, and res = 1680 x 1050, so I'll now try with reduced resolution.
