Cliffs of dover vids go here

[BigC208]

I just ran 1946 on the lowest settings and it looks better than the spit in the screenshot. Why would you even offer such a low setting? First I thought it was a joke but saw the same graphics on a youtube CoD vid at low settings. Hopefully they get all the kinks out before it reaches the Americas. Epileptics countermeasures, no sli? No wonder they had to scale everything down. Make tomorrows flightsim and handicap it so it can only run on 5 year old technology at 10 fps? I'm still an optimist. The sun will come up tomorrow. I passed my 6 month checkride today. Heck, my wife smiled at me tonight. Someday they get this thing running the way it's supposed to.

I think this particular uploader's biggest problem is his 2GB of RAM first and foremost. It's been repeatedly stated in the past that although it will run with 2GB, a minimum of 3GB is needed to have any sort of smooth gameplay over solid land due to the amount of objects present on the map.

To be honest i'm only worried about the epilepsy filter FPS loss, but they'll probably patch away the problem before i even get the game in my hands. I'm running an i7 920 at stock speed with an Ati 4890 and 3Gb of RAM and after seeing him run the game at minimum with his PC specs, i expect to easily crank most settings up to medium on my relatively lower-res monitor (1680x1050), maybe at the cost of getting some extra RAM after a few benchmaking runs.

If Hecke was my wife it would explain most of his bitching.

Like i pointed out in another thread, probably for movie making. I'm not a movie maker and yet i can see where it would be useful. I think we need a higher creative imagination index in this forum, please don't laugh, i'm serious, just read on

The manual clearly states that setting things to lowest "will make your game look like something from the early '90s and is not recommended", which means they are perfectly aware of how it works.

However, if your PC can do medium detail with ease, it's obvious that it will probably do double the amount of aircraft at lowest and that's what it's useful for.
If playing with '90s graphics means i can fly a mission with double the amount of bombers, then i have a single track file to work with instead of making multiple takes for my "awesome battle of britain movie part 21" project.

The PC can handle it due to the ultra-low settings but it's ugly. No worries, we'll correct that later. After i edit my track camera angles and save the changes, i can then turn my detail back to where i want it, but i know my PC will not run the track at this detail with so many aircraft. No worries again, i'll use the tool that renders track to video with no FPS loss. And since there's no FPS loss, i might as well have it render at full settings

In short, go to ultra-low settings for smooth FPS when flying a mission with too many aircraft and for playback and editing of the track, then export from track to video in ultra-high settings for best movie results.
