A friend told me to wait with purchasing CloD for a year...

Just a bit of clarification. I wasn't refering to lowering your monitor resolution, that will indeed result in a fuzzy picture.

What i was meaning to say is to launch the sim, go to options->video and click on the little button that displays the expanded options. Then, find the one that is labeled texture resolution (or size) and drop it a notch.

I'm not sure if this requires a restart of the sim but just to be on the safe side, once you lower your texture size

a) exit the sim and clear you cache in documents\1c softclub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\cache

b) run it again to rebuild your cache, this will take a bit of time

c) exit again

d) run it once again, it should now take a lot less time and you can go flying/testing


The original textures are pretty huge, as an example pilots are probably a few MB each and the Buckingham palace is 20MB or so, these are raw, uncompressed textures. Now take into account all the different field variations, the building textures and so on, it adds up to quite a lot and can easily swamp a GPU with less than 2GB of VRAM.

Hope it helps in any case
