2) Performance: My comp specs are: Intel Core i7 quad core 2.2 ghz, 8GB Ram, win 7 64 bit, NVIDIA GeForce GT630M 2GB dedicated. Will the game run smooth on my comp? What settings? Will track IR run smooth for me?

Is this an enjoyable sim now or a continued exercise in frustration? Your opinion is appreciated. It is now or never for me.

Thanks.
i cant speak for everyone....but for me the disappearing planes problem in mid ranges is extremely annoying....
some people claim that they dont suffer from the problem though, so you may be lucky...
anyway, if your rig is powerful enough, there is indeed a workaround with adjusting the conf.ini file...
for me, offline it works, but as soon as i try to fly online with MeshShowlod=1, it will cause serioius trouble in performance and make the game indeed unplayable...

and it also depends with with FOV you prefer to fly....i noticed, that the planes only seem to completely disappear with a FOV from ~80° or higher...
if i fly with the standard 70° FOV, the planes start to flicker in the critical range,and are hard to spot, but dont disappear completely...

Personally, I paid some 50 euros for... maybe 2 months of poor quality playing. Before the last two beta patches the game was completely unplayable, and even now it's just barely playable.

It has a lot of potential, I think we all agree on that one, and I guess we also agree when it comes to giving credit for the good work to Luthier & team. However, the game is still a long way from delivering anything but a tiny fraction of what was promised.

So, IMO the right thing to do is to fix what's already in game, make it match the promises, and then i'm ready to bet that everyone will be throwing money at it.

The game will never be fixed beyond what it is now unless you buy the sequel when we are told the impovements that come with it will also improve CoD. It will never match all the promises. Its just an unpleasant fact of life.

What is your rig and what are your settings?

Well that is certainly very disappointing. I'd rather have no sim at all over a broken sim. The disappearing plane thing I think I cannot live with and I'm not willing to spend money on. I'll be a "big boy" (whatever that means) and not waste my hard earned money. I suppose I'll wait a few years for the "sequel" to come out. I hope that means you can still fly over Britain as well as Moscow. Thanks for the feedback.

LOL the guy is such a comedian.... "There is no comparison for example with other prop sims such as Rise of Flight, or sim-lite products such as War Thunder"

AHAHAHAHA brilliant he should give up "reviews" and become a comedian. ROFL
