CloD uses completely new engine with a new modular architecture and without many of original IL-2 limitations. According to Oleg's posts at sukhoi.ru development of the new engine instead of limiting themselves to the old one was the main reason for delays in game development and his personal mistake.

At the same time CloD uses big parts of old IL-2 code because some members of the dev team failed to create new optimized code in time(and were fired). These parts were and I think still are being rewritten by new team members.

Switching to DX11 could solve most of the problems graphics engine has right now.

90 prcent of graphics cards is DX11 so why stay in the DX 9 mode????

Simulation is the most demanding software so all players have powerfull computers with DX 11, i dont see a reason here to sty in dx9

Thanks for stating the obvious genius. If they have something working and are used to having such commands and .ini layouts why would they create something new. To confuse themselves? To make their work harder? If you are such an expert why don't you try to suggest something better.

It's funny when people who know absolutely nothing about computer programming start to comment on the way the game was coded.

Pretty sure right there is the definition of internet forums :)

I can't be bothered to read the entire thread, so I don't know if this has been said yet, but I just want to comment that you, Puma are doing nothing but trolling.

I have come to expect better from you, but I guess that is my own failing.

Hey no hard feelings. It's not an intentional troll!

Currently as we now wait for the next installment, it's been obvious to see where the issues still lie in the Graphics department. To be honest I am mostly flying over the Sea as I find the ground pop-up textures too annoying. But over the sea (and when the particles of smoke aren't too huge, the sim is really enjoyable.

Regarding the legacy I refer to...here's a short clip to show how nothing has changed since the 'old' 1946 days:

Does that clip show the matching code? If not it is useless.

No you are right David...there is nothing similar there is there? Blimey!

If it walks like a Duck, Quacks like a Duck..then it must be an Ostrich, eh David?

Yes but this is a video game and most video games have this area of vision, hopefully they can improve it.

Suggest you learn what you talk about before slagging it off... :rolleyes:

il2:1946 and CoD have the same engine LOL what a tool!
