Thanks adonys for this great guide.

I've been checking these forums for a post like this about a laptop similar to mine. I'm using a dell studio xps 13 with a 210m which according to notebook check website is of similar specs to your radeon. I'm awaiting the UK version so iknow i will have to wait if/when filter it able to be switched off but your findings have been very encouraging.

Just one quick question; I've currently got 4gb ram and was thinking of upgrading to 8gb, as I have clear limitations with GPU does anybody know would this make any difference on CoD as im sure someone mentioned that it can only use 2gb ram at the minute?

[adonys]

even if is just on 32 bits, it can use up to 4 GB in a 64 bits operating system. And I'm sure if it is not on 64, it will get there, sooner rather than later.

yet, for a laptop with a rather week video card, getting 8 GB of RAM it is overkill, considering the low resolutions in which you can play.

I'd rather save it for a good desktop in your place.

The best thing you can get to upgrade your laptop in order to have IL2 CoD benefit from it, would be a SSD disk. A better processor would be better, but I don't know how much would a really good one, which also fit your motherboard, would be. and maybe a (external) video card..

what about a new laptop ?!

I am getting a avg of around 50fps in the air 44 in combat and around 30 cutting the tops off tree's all default settings with the epi filter set to zero....but i still cant get the soding joystick to work funny enough the hat switch is the only thing that works

Looked into the black screen thing, it's a problem with addressing with dx10 enabled Nvidia 9000 series cards.

Fix (if you can figure it out, I'm still wrapping my head around google translated Russian) is located on this and subsequent pages.

[adonys]

you can change it by dechecking the fullscreen, or manually from conf.ini

The second is the price and have no idea if anyone can answer my question. Clearly, there is a price difference due to the differing economies. However, does anyone know if Oleg and team will receive more money from the EU version, which is clearly more expensive, or will Ubi pocket the difference? I suspect no one can answer here, however, if the difference goes to UBI I would rather buy the Russian version, and support Oleg and team directly rather than help fil UBI's coffers. But if they will receive a larger revenue from EU sales I will hold off, atm I cannot justify buying one of each in order to increase my support of the team, but would hapily do so at some point should the performance issues be ironed out.

You can not change it to english, we are just buying it to have a copy that does not have the western filter. Think everyone will still buy the english version as well
