I understood that some realism option were in arcade mode for this part of the movie. I hope so, really ...

Oleg and team, you've done it. I am drooling.

If the planes fly as good as they look, you're on to a definite winner.

Really nice movies and that composer is quite talented, very nice music to the images.

To the people who always complain...put a sock in it.

Does anyone know why these release dates are so staggered? Almost a month apart from Europe and the States and Canada. Seeing movies on youtube of other folks flying will be pure torture while I sit here in Canada waiting till the 26th of April for my download on UBISOFT.

Do the people who think this game is going to be disappointing have any suggestions for better WW2 flight sims? I already removed Wings of Prey from my machine, so that isn't an option.

Well, apart from the graphics, the flight dynamics, the AI, the airplane models, the mission builder, the lighting, the ground models... - what has Oleg ever done for us!?

He never did it for us, he did it to make money. Thats how a buisness works, they make software to sell to customers in exchange for money which they use to live their lives. If he gave us all a copy for free that would be doing it for us.

When someone complains about windows do you rattle off a list of windows features and say - what has bill gates ever done for us!?

Just ignore this rabble David. CoD will be the best WWII flight sim out there...there really isn't any competition that comes anywhere close. Oleg has never let us down before and he won't this time. It's not just a business for him - he shares our passion.

I think most of this discussion on DX11 falls under the heading 'What if?' (or less charitably: 'crying over spilt milk')

We know that they planned to include DX11 just as they planned to include dynamic weather and a dynamic campaign.

And just as for those features they were essentially defeated by time constraints.

So, while DX11 will be a worthwhile addition (both visually and performance wise) when it happens, for now there is not much point arguing about it.

Regarding Tree's point about Ubi still advertising DX11 - that just underlines what a shambles Ubi are - and the generally bad communication between devs, publishers, buying public - Oleg still thinks the game is releasing everywhere on the 25th apparently!!!

Lastly - Blackdog made the point that Steam statistics on DX11 cards may not be representative of their wider use. I'll also point out that a percentage of people with DX11 cards will not be able to run DX11 games because they're still using XP.

Steam for Canada is still April 19.
