This sim is in development for many years now, was it not clear years ago that it would use/need multicore cpu support for smooth performance?

There's many reasons as to why this wasn't implemented before launch, one of which might be time/budget-restraints. When those hit, compromises must be made. For all we know, that might have been one of them.

That`s as if you buy a car without wheels and the dealer tells you: "well, the wheels you will get later - maybe, lets wait and see".
Dammit! F... Ubisoft!

Your comparison is flawed. A car needs wheels to work, whereas a game isn't 100% dependant on having mulitcore-support to function.

I wonder how many more consumer goods this sim will be compared to?

in cockpit view, the (RPM, Speed, etc) gauge needles are rather bouncy... but in wonder woman view, they are all rock steady.

i wouldn't look at steam forums then, someone compared it to buying a cheesebuger with no cheese.

Hey guys I have a question I was hoping someone could answer for me. I have been looking forward to the release of IL2 COD for a long time. When I heard that I could get it 2 weeks before the release in the US I jumped on it. I bought the game from justflight.com and they gave me an activation code for Steam. I know everyone is having problems with this game and I expected to have problems (wishful thinking told me that maybe I wouldn't).

The question I have is that I know the company is releasing updates for the game and I read that they are being released by Steam by region. Being that I have the game before the US release am I going to get the updates? I am currently running the 1.00.13954 version of the game.

I was also just told by Ubisoft technical support that because I bought a European version of the game that I will have problems getting updates, patches, and technical support with the game and that I should try to get a refund and get it when it comes out in the US. Is this true? I asked her what the difference would be since they are all just being bought through Steam and she said that because I would have a European IP that I would always have problems. Can anyone verify this or does she not know what she is talking about? I really appreciate you taking the time to clarify this for me. Thanks again.

System Specs:

Asus P6T Deluxe V2
Intel i7 950 @ 3.06
Nvidia GTX 260
12gb Corsair Ram
Win 7 x64

Thats the right version, I don't think you should experience any problems, the patches are international only the russians have a standalone patch.

BUT I definitely would not contact steam, they might have given you a refund if it was pre-release but not now, especially if you didn't buy the game from steam in the first place .

What problems are you experiencing?

Hey thanks for the response. Currently the game is unplayable on practically any settings, however I can play on medium settings over water. When I am over the water it will run and look great until the game puts the bombers on the screen, then it gets choppy and stutters alot. Do you think I should consider getting a new graphics card or wait until they release more updates? What I don't understand is that I can run Birds of Prey at max settings with no stutter and the graphics look better than this game on medium settings. Too bad that game is so unrealistic in how the planes stall. You have any experience with it? I am a Commercial Pilot and I do have time in high performance aircraft and I can tell you that no plane stalls as easy as that game shows. I wish we could get that games graphics with this games plane models. I really don't want to get a refund for the game, but I was worried that I would not get all of the updates.

You can tell if it has worked when the patch is released on monday.

What are your PC specs?

... maybe the comparison is not quite right but I am still pissed off.
To sell half finished products becomes a habit recently not only concerning this game!

I'm not going to swear but has anybody who developed this sim bothered to explain when the 'next' patch is going to be released to fix the myriad of problems. Would be nice to actually know if they're as dedicated to fixing this thing than those who spend the money to buy it. I know there are many that will 'back' them up but surely they too must be wondering. If they are 'TELL US' when it's going to be FIXED.
