Thanks

My pc ran 80+ planes over London plus flak quite nicely . So no problems on this end. This is the same thing that was with the original IL2, you need a good computer to run it at acceptable levels of detail and AC number in the air.

Exactly Kurfurst.

We don't always agree, but when we do it's 100%.

addman is correct though - there's no point upgrading right now. tidying up the code and a generation or two of hardware will be what it takes to play coD with lots of planes/city scapes below.

For some kind of reference - I tried to max out one of the new quick missions last night - I had 116 'planes in the air - I wouldn't call it playable, but neither was it a complete slideshow. That was with max settings all round, except SSAO and epilepsy filter, at 1920x1200.

There are faster cpus than that, they just cost an arm and a leg.

Nope.The game must have been performing OK on the MG computer that tested the finish game before release. What better way to test the game than with a large number of a/c at low level over London. So, it must have been performing OK for MG to take the May Day holiday.

I don't know what there's was, but I ran 80 He111's 110's and 109's at 4Km over Londer against my 12 Spitfires and I was getting mid 50's in fps. When it broke down and I went to the deck chasing 109's and 110's it went into the 30's. 1920X1200 All on HIGH with SSAO/EPILEPSY = OFF SHADOWS = OFF.
