AT FULL GRAPHICS SETTINGS. That means that you cannot just pile anything on and have the sim run perfectly at max resolution. I'll bet you that that will be the case with CoD.

Actually the developers have already said as much. You won't have "perfect weather" in the sim itself, because it grinds everything to a halt. But they have left the opportunity open for users to use the setting in the Full Mission Builder, as an unsupported feature. In the rest of the sim it will be unlocked later, when computers catch up.

Of course I don't expect Tree to understand a word of this, but I just wanted to communicate it to others in here, so they aren't left with his false quote of what I wrote. He is deliberately misinforming as much as he can about CoD, so of course he does the same about fellow posters as well. I think there will be a position as Ghadaffi Information Minister open for him, now that CoD will come out, which should turn off his faucet of hate towards the sim...

whatever... as long as i can run it like this.. ill be happy.

From that screenshot I can already tell its old stuff, a huge amount of options are missing.
HDR, DOF, MSAA, particle settings, distortion effects, PP, Shader model, volumetric lighting, DS - and the list goes on, note that the ss is a pic of the options in "advanced" settings...

DX11 is within the engine...Oleg comfirmed that . Just not enough "stable" f/x yet to exploit in a flight sim of this magnitude.
And just because you don't see every single parameter listed as "tweakable" doen't mean that it is not there...
Some visual features are more "hungry" than others and could simply be included within different settings levels....In other words, Oleg could have decided to keep it simple....

Salute !

There's something like a glitch that doesn't look right in the clip. When the Beaufighter attacks, there are what look like glowing gasses dropping away. Not likely I'll be seeing it when I game, but just wondering what they are or were meant to be and if it needs fixing.
