Saturday I'll get a NVIDIA 560Ti and will record again and will post a new video with same recorded track, with average FPS too, for comparsion.

If you said that, I assume you have not flown in any of the unrealistic online small maps of 1946. You are still comparing that map with a realistic one.

Small online maps are unrealistic yes, that's a fact. But it happpens on every simulator that has one map in that concept.

Big on/offline maps... nothing to compare, CoD has no rival! I cannot understand why you feel that trees are horrible, horrible is what we had in 1946... have you stopped to watch a tree in CoD from short distance?

Anyway that's your oppinion, I'm not agree but I will defend that everybody can expresss himself

I am aware of this too. I am a experienced online 1946 pilot, started flying online in 2004 (almost exclusively in the War Clouds Western Front Server, I'm guilty of being used to historical/quality maps).

I guess I expressed myself badly. The point I was trying to say was that, IMHO, the overall quality of the terrain (mesh, colors and how trees are placed) don't match 2011 standards.

Agree regarding short distance (it has no rival)... However, since this is a flight sim, I consider far more important the look and "feel" from a certain distance.

With those colors,trunks and the way they are placed in some parts of the terrain (like in elevations of the volcano map or in the Cliffs of Dover beaches), I always have the feel I'm looking to some tropical tree specie, not what we would expect to find in southern England.

Not a problem... After all this is a forum. Just thought to express my feelings regarding the videos posted.

I also consider CloD has no rival in some aspects (e.g. cockpits, CEM, FM, DM), but there's a lot of tweaking to be made in the map/terrain and sound aspects.

Every time I watch terrain/map videos of RoF and WoP (altough not perfect), I always feel that CloD had a big fail in this particular department.

That should be interesting.

BTW, the clip you've recorded is great/beautiful considering you system specs... But it was done over water, I wonder how much fps you can achieve over land without lowering in-game settings.

As I said, with the settings saw in video, I get 35 average FPS over water. Without shadows, can get 50FPS average.

Over land, with textures medium and forest low, without shadows and with medium/low shading, can achieve 25/30 FPS average in this rig, without much trouble. Some drops just over London with clouds, but nothing that go lower thar 15 FPS sometimes.

The video itself isn't good to show FPS performance. I recorded in internal CloD recorder, so, fixed FPS. That's why I put the average FPS I get with the settings saw in video, in the title of the post. Over land, as over sea, no stutters at all with lower/medium settings, due to low VRAM: textures medium, forest low and no shadows = no stutters and fluid gameplay. And good visual.

Understand we may not have same system specs but even then if we did I try to keep the system as quiet as I can.

What do you mean? Sorry, I didn't catch the idea in your last reply...

What's your in-game settings in those London videos?

Cheers.

Hi and sorry. All settings high or very high / max with ssoa / EP off and 1920 x 1080.

I really like Black and White-

But I like desaturated colour too-

And I also like saturated colour as well-

It's a dilemma.
