I can only get the program to run on the 'low' settings and then start getting some 'picture stuttering' and strange large 'green oblisks' in the Channel.

If I change aircraft sometimes, the system 'hangs-up'. If I increase the video quality the system crashes with a Microsoft box appearing saying 'Launcher has encounted problems and needs to close'.

On the plus side, the cockpits, aircraft and game interface are superb and I like the map detail - well done Ilya and Oleg.

On the downside, the 'Steam' interface is tiresome and I think a bit of an overkill. It also looks as though we can't 'tweak' our config.sys file any more to match our system specs. The full FMB is not included in the release.

I have just run a 'directx' and noticed I am missing a Gb of Ram. I did have 4Gb, might have a problem with my PC.

My System specs. are:
MS XPSP3 @32bit
Intel Core2 Extreme CPU Q6850@3.00Ghz
3GB Ram (Should be 4GB?)
ATI Radeon HD 4870x2 1024MB memory
MOB Gigbyte P35-DS4
Display Benq 1920x1200 (32bit,60Hz)
SB X-Fi Audio

I think I am in the 'middle band' of PC power (due for an upgrade), so I am sure the flight sim should run much better than it currently is?

I have just 'tweaked' my system following Ilya's Q&A and have had a very pleasant flight (flying the Bf109E-3) up the coast of France between Le Havre and Abbeville, landing at Abbeville.

For my system (see above) you have to turn-off a lot of things to make it work. Even though I have less ground detail, I think the map is fantastic. I could easly follow the geography at 2,000m. Sadly on the 'Quick Flight' menu my landing flaps didn't work, though my 'hot landing' was successful?

The Messerschmitt cockpit is wonderful. I am not game to turn it on to a fully working cockpit because of a probable computer crash - what a pity!

Sadly, I think Ilya and Oleg have hit the market too soon, perhaps they had to?

I hope 'The Team' is working furiously to fix all of these gliches and Oleg and Ilya haven't ordered their new Mercedes Benz's yet?

PS 'Steam' is a dog!
