I didn't make any special changes in the settings, just left everything as it was after installation.
And one more thing, I'm a very unskilled virtual pilot so please don't take them seriously in the field of realism and quality of flying.

The average FPS for all videos is 30, the lowest is 22 the highest 67.

Don't blame me for not very interesting gameplay, I simply didn't have time to prepare quality ones. I just want to show, that the game even in the current not optimized and polished version is still more then playable just from the box. And as Luthier stated today, the devs will do their best to support the project and create the game we all want to see.
Cheers

This is what the game looks like on normal settings? You got to be kidding me. The Ultra pack 2.1 in Il2 looks better than this (okay maybe a bit over-drama but anyway)
Look the way the ocean / water hits the ground...looks just like it is patched over. Look at the buildings pop-in. The colours. horrible.
Rise of flight who came out in 2009 looks 10 times better than this on MEDIUM settings!
I play rise of flight now with highest settings and people I know who is not into flight sims bought a new computer because of it and got hooked cause it is so damn realistic and looks so damn good.
But I will buy this anyway. Cause i love battle of britain, and I love spitfires and ww2 in general.
But god, I really hope it doesnt look like this when I fire it up

I have RoF too since first day and agree with you domian.
Besides,RoF was a worst failure than CoD at launch and see in what a bealtiful sim it turned now.
Have faith and support the team.
If I could I fix the flaws by my self,but as I am a complete ignorant in software programming, I do my part giving my dollars to MG as a form to help them to work on this.
That's my opinion,of course.

I have to agree, I'm a bit disappointed with how the buildings pop up. The cartoon colours have always been a concern of mine and it turns out they haven't changed it! Someone in the dev team is half colour blind I'm sure!
But I pre-ordered it anyway, because it will still be good even if it's just IL2+.

Yes, Rise of Flight was nowhere near as good at launch as it is now. But there is one difference: because of the online model of RoF they have released update after update (note: an update is not a patch!) making things better and better and adding more and more content. Almost every month/two months there was/is something nice to look forward to.
If CoD follows the same release plan as IL2 did then it will be quite some time before we see any major improvements. That has me worried a bit...(so it better be good!)

Il-2 was one of the first (if not the first) sim to follow such a pattern. If anything, RoF copied Oleg...

Then you must play RoF on LOW settings then. Or you have to check your eyes. If not that you are a fanboy.
When ROF first came out in 2009 it was unplayable for me. I tried it now two weeks ago and it ran like a charm. I play it an highest settings.
There is something special about this sim. The sounds, the physics, the realism,the nice graphics. It is like I can just fly for hours looking around and enjoy the scenery. And the damage model is insane.
My impression of COD now after watching youtube videos is not good.
I hope I can run il2 COD on highest settings and that it doesnt stutter.
If not I will forget about this game and wait until it has been fixed

LOL what a contradiction you just slagged off CLOD for exactly the same reason you haven't played ROF since it came out, when we see CLOD with its settings at max and running smoothly you will see that they look the same... both amazing and as time progresses CLOD will look much better.

But that said due to the WW2 aircraft in CLOD a lot more work has had to go into making CLOD than into ROF aircraft.

Why do you repeat what I said myself? I said: "If not I will forget about this game and wait until it has been fixed"

So in a year or two I shure will be getting Il2 COD.
But knowing my weak self, I know when it will be available on steam 31 mars I will click on "buy" and download it

has anyone played in bad weather settings? is there lightning possible with the epi filter? i used to love flying in severe wind and thunderstorms.
