Even though the desastersoft campaigns are good, the overall sim is not!
Instead I`m flying ROF, a much better sim at the moment!

So, after they had talked me into flying again, we went on an escort mission to Ramsgate or so, escorting some 110s to their target. Over Ramsgate flak, exloding bombs on the ground and whatnot caused such a terrible lag that I had screenfreeze after screenfreeze (and I do not have an outdated PC) . It was so bad that continuing was no option anymore.

I dont know, but CloD has completely denatured my passion for WW2 flightsims. I really wonder what is going on in the heads of the guys at 1C Company. How can they expect that their sequel will sell, after such a poor performance and no major improvements more than a year after release of CloD. Only the fanboys will probably jump on the sequel as soon as available but they are not going to be enough to get overall big sales figures I guess.

this is what amazes me most of all about the latest graphics changes, the smoke balls, AA explosions, dust etc etc should be just 2D sprites - the fastet thing to do in graphics! ... yet in this game it's the slowest .. ?? why??? Does each sprite contact Oleg first to see how he's going before printing it to video memory ???? :confused:

I'm not expert but have done some game development in the past

Pluto, you have the same card as me. It runs the game fine, with everything on High. I have Epi off, SSao off and AA off, but have enabled FXAA and CSAA in Nvidia control panel for nice smooth edges. I can fly low over London fine with these settings, and can make nice smooth videos using Fraps.

See this thread here; http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.co...-driver-301-24

In fact, for flying offline, I can increase the game settings. I just like to leave a bit of 'Headroom' for online play.

FPS with the new Nvidia driver is 45-50 on the ground, and sticks at 60fps the rest of the time, which is only limited by v-sync and my screen refresh rate.

.. thanks for your answer. Well, I`ll wait until the beta becomes a "real" patch on steam, hopefully they get this issue fixed.

my job

I don't make enough money to save up to build a monster of a machine (yeah yeah, should have done it while I was making 70 k a year ago . . .)

and that's the major hiccup. Also my last job (before the current one I'm at) I built servers, so the lab machine had this game on it (with a logitech stick)
