The Crystal Ball

1. Luthier said that sli and crossfire are working so I bought the game, but they're not.

1C are not responsible for making Nvidia and ATI drivers.

Ok, you spend $50 on a game and it does not work. Suck it up. Spend another $50 on RoF or DCS A10 and you'll be simming you're heart out.

Apparently the developers think there's nothing to bee seen or to be exited about right now. Only one thing to do. Keep on walking nothing to see here. Recovering 10 year Il2 addict but right now my "give a Phunck 'O meter" sits at O.

Imho it is quite delusional to expect any developer to produce a wwii flightsim in the next years, if ever.
Especially to expect a company so close to bankruptcy as 777 to "pick up the ball".
To be financially successfull a wwii sim, with the usually in this forum expected detail level, would need about 2$ for a ground object, 50$ for a map and 50$ for each more complicated model (plane or ship).
When i see the emotions running high for spending 15$ - to 70$ for a whole packet, i really can't see any customers for that.

As wise men say "No news is good news."

So what kind of drivers should we have to use?

The same as everybody else but since when did 1C make graphics drivers?

Post seem to be altered to reflect a different opinion by deletion of one or two sentences to give more "posotitive"feel.
Out of interest,who does this and why?

Don't know. I usually edit posts when they contain swearing, which is of course against the rules.You will usually just see **** instead of the swear word. Personal attacks on other members are just deleted. Attacks on the devs are also deleted. Trolling posts are usually just deleted. Quite often posts are moved to a more relevant sub forum. Sometimes (quite often unfortunately) you will have a few individuals who just want to have a row in a thread, and a load of their posts will get deleted, which can sometimes make a thread look a little strange. Blame them for breaking the rules (when they finish their bans) not the mod team for having to clear up their mess.
Sometimes people are warned, sometimes banned, sometimes a post is deleted and no action is taken, but the forum is a nicer place to visit.
I would never edit a post to give a more 'positive feel' as you put it, and I don't think I have ever seen that on this forum.
Apart from that, be sure to read the rules again if you have not already as discussing moderator actions is prohibited. There is an email contact on the rules page to contact admin.

bear in mind these whingers don't want to take their views to PM or private email, it 'has' to be emblazoned very publically on the boards so they can get their little fix of 'sticking it to the man'

S!

Well Luthier mentioned in one of his posts that they collaborate with BOTH brands and maybe we can expect better driver/profile support AFTER the graphics engine revision is done. No use to make a driver now to a version that will be obsolete soon. Just my opinion..mileage may differ
