Well I'm loving it

Early days yet, early days.
It's good to see it out and on the tracks. I patiently await it getting up to speed. It will be a ride!

+1. This game is going to be just fantastic after a couple more patches.

I'm enjoying it too. Feel like I should be getting more out performance wise etc.

I've flown around, given a Do17 a damned good thwacking, landed at an airfield I couldn't identify and didn't wreck the aircraft!!

And do you know what made me feel right at home in a 1946-stylie? That Do17 was heading for the drink, it had obviously 'had it', when my AI wingman came in and finished it off... Just like old times!

I'm not sure that people that are getting acceptable performance is the minority. It's always going to be those with issues that will be posting the most. I can't say for sure, but I know with my squadmates that do have the game it seems to be about a 60/40 split with good vs bad performance. Still not ideal by any means, but it will continue to get better of that I am fairly confident.

Put me on the liking it side as well. I had to fiddle with the settings a bit to get the judder down, and it gets a bit choppy with a lot flying around, but I'm sure they'll fix it. Thrashing it down the cliffs of Dover at sunset, feeling great.

Things I'd like to see improved though:
-Interface: could be a bit more thematic?
-Music: sounds like the old IL-2 trumpet.
-Control settings: I have to reload mine every time, odd...

I'm sure we'll see some great strides over the coming months. Having waited three years for this I'll put up with some issues. Now bring on the Mediterranean campaign!

Add me as a CloD lover too.

I've been really enjoying myself in some intense and fluid dogfights!

The best thing is, the continued support and dedication of the devs (something that isn't common-place these days, even after a buggy software release).

NikToo, are you adjusting the ini files in your documents area, rather than the steam area? Just a thought that may help.

I think it has a lot to do with perception as well. Performance is in the eye of the beholder, perhaps! Some rate 25 fps as adequate, others don't. Comment on game performance is not objective in many cases.

No it's definitely not ideal, but was anyone expecting that it would run smoothly on very high settings from day one? Obviously not, and I appreciate that some people aren't getting anything decent yet, but there are posts that say the game is a complete fail, not close to ready to be sold yet etc, and my opinion is different, so I thought I'd add it for some balance.

25 fps is unlikely to give the smooth gameplay that I'll require, but 25 fps right now is an ok start. By the time I can fly one of these things my PC will be obsolete anyway.
