Just got the game, need help

[severniae]

Hi All,

I decided to buy IL2:COD yesterday as I haven't flown a WW2 figher sim for some time, having spend many a happy year in the peaceful FSX world!

I installed the game, and after fiddling with my controlls for what seemed like an age loaded the sim.

I was shocked at least, I'm getting some very choppy performance, my system (ATI 6790/Intel i7 @ 4.8Ghz/16GB RAM) more than meets the max spec. Yet seems to have huge problems running smoothly.

Secondly the AA doesn't appear to work, I'm getting the most horrendous jaggies and shimmers that I've ever seen. On top of that my throttle only seems to register movement half the time!

If anyone could lend a hand I'd greatly appreciate it... I'm sure it should run better and be enjoyable, but I'm at a loss as to how to do it!

Thanks a lot,

Sev
