Good examples with coding and optimization is Crysis, and Crysis 2 even more.
1. Gibbage is anything but credible. He is acting against current dev team and has been disreputed.

2. Do not bring up Crysis/Crysis2 when dealing with this game. IL2 CoD is nothing like Crysis. If you have problems understanding that then you should stop posting here.

Wink

well a rig with:
P4 3.0Ghz HT
2GB DDR2
8600GT 512mb

could ran everything smooth except for GTA4, Bad Company 2, ArmA2, Crysis2, Global Agenda, Shattered Horizon...well it even ran ArmA2 at low visibility and low resolution

among the titles which ran pretty well are:

Mass Effect 1 and 2
Crysis (1)
ArmA
Dragon Age
Far Cry 2
Fallout 3
Fallout New Vegas
Oblivion
Mount and Blade Warband
IL-2 1946
Flaming Cliffs 2.0

so, WITH OPTIMIZATION, this simulator that uses only 1 core, and not more than 2gb of ram, and that is only 32bit could be ran by that configuration, and I'm not a nay sayer just pointing out facts

What is your source for that nonsense? It was released a couple of weeks ago, and developed with today's PCs in mind.

software engineer make better software whit LESS resource , no better software whit enormous resource. There are many games have better effects , but run fine in my old computer P4 3.0Mhz example WoP , IL 2 1946 , H.a.w.x. , far cry , arma , crisys.
That's not correct. You are new to this forum, so I understand that you may not be fully informed on the details of this sim. IL2 was written by the same people. CoD is more detailed in every way. None of these other titles provide the historical accuracy and detail, flight and damage model that CoD provides. If you are interested in the best combat flight sim ever produced, stick around, there's a lot for you to learn here. If not, don't waste your time here, it's not for you.

You clearly haven't got a clue what computations the game is making to model all the AI planes etc.

So in Crisis you can move around a map (without pausing to load as you move) that covers about 100 thousand cubic miles? And the AI are in historically accurate planes flying around that space? You might as well use Avitar as your basis for graphical comparison.

Pentium 4 was actually phased out in August 2008.

A 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 was released on April 2, 2002, and the bus speed increased from 400 MHz to 533 MHz for the 2.26 GHz, 2.4 GHz, and 2.53 GHz models in May, 2.66 GHz and 2.8 GHz models in August, and 3.06 GHz model in November. With Northwood, the Pentium 4 came of age.

Some iteration may have shipped until August 2008, but the 3Ghz Pentium 4 was introduced in `02, making it an almost 9 year old piece of technology.

That is all fine but you don't have to be idiot do you remember? We are not talking about unrealistic spitfire FM so don't start comments like this, it raises pulse

Unhappy

same old P4 3gig here with 2GB old slow 333MHz ram and old AGP slot but newer and one of the latest Cards for AGP ; HIS ATI 4670 IceQ (perfect low noise)
DirectX 9

with all graphics settings on low or out except modell (high), effects (middle) and damage (middle) I reach over sea which is better than in IL2/FB about 17-25fps in cockpit; but not more than 10 planes in game.

the graphics is optimized for high resolutions but it would be perfect when all textures has a second or third resolution f.e. 1280x800 or for good old 1024x768...than this game would run like IL2 and look better too.

ok a P4 is outdated but why should´nt it be possible to run this game in settings like IL2 where those PC´s run very good day for day Online on HL with 30fps on high settings (thats enough)

as others postet earlier it´s bad programmed or they really don´t care and produce low compressed eye candy textures and useless groundvehicles instead of a good flightmodellbased Simulation with original Enginesounds http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/images/icons/icon9.gif

think the times of good simulations like SSI,Microprose or Janes are gone for ever.

I installed the old Battle of Britain from Empire again and noticed the same rolling soundbug in CoD when standing on ground engine shut off.....BoB was not bad and had a full stratetic part of the BoB !...hundreds of Bombers in Formation was very nice to look at
