Hallo Hunter1,
Did I read correctly, you bought a new PC? Congratulations! Hallo kubanskiloewe, it has been how many, 6-7 years? The new patch that was released yesterday as beta (should be official on Monday) solves a lot of the performance problems on older machines! - It has some new options in the graphic settings which lower the graphics of the ground and buildings and make it playable on older graphics cards. - It uses better the power of multiple CPUs so, a Quad-CPU is very good to have and it pays off with the game now. In summary, you should be doing much better with the new patch as of Monday  Some word of caution though: This is really the next generation of IL2, we played IL2 for ten years and maybe you remember how difficult it was back then flying at 18-20frames per second on our 640x480 CRT monitors. So we are in year 0 of IL2CoD and it may take years until hardware is available to make this game run at high fps and high graphic settings... Basic things for Hardware will be: 1.) Win7 64bit: Yes, it runs well and it runs better than WinXP. And for IL2CoD it is necessary because it gives DX10, this game runs well in DirectX 10 (WinXP has only DX9, the game runs but not as well). 2.) Having said this about DX10, YOUR GRAPHICS CARD MUST BE DX10 AS WELL (or DX11)! beware some older NV cards of only DX10, I think the game needs DX10.1 (do not crusify me if I am wrong...). 3.) Your CPU will have to be at least Quad-core (finaly a game which handles a lot of CPUs) The list can become endless but the above three things may help you take some decisions in the near future. Happy Flying ! ~S~

no, the new beta patch does´nt make much difference in performance; on the contrary it produces now a lot more of buildings which let the fps drop down....restart the Game does´nt help and in conf. there isn´t a line which responds to amount of buildings.
so i really dont buy a better PC for that uncomplete and buggy game....it´run good enough for me for a little ride; steam is another thing i did´nt like and so i hang on in Hyperlobby with IL2+Mods whith much better and original engine sounds, Radar and more i´m sure there will be some freaks who compress those "needless" textures ....
