I have 2X HD6970 2GB GPUs and they can't be used because the devs cannot get it working.

I have a quad core CPU and CoD is not taking full advantage of it. Yes multi CPU support is improving but still not as good as it should be.

I have an FFB joystick (G940) and the devs elected not to have FFB support.

Each of these is considered close to top of the range as far as current hardware is concerned. Yet CoD doesn't take advantage of it. So I'm sorry but MANY of us DO have systems that can handle CoD but it still doesn't use them to their fullest.

Frankly, I am sick of hearing people tell me it is your poor system that's the problem. You must be kidding when you say it is our fault for not flying over the sea or at 7,000 metres when you go over land... erm what if I want to take-off and land?

Have we really reached the stage were CoD apologists are now telling us to fly high to avoid low FPS. It's a hypothetical question, no need to answer.

Accurate? It's beautiful, but accurate? In general terms maybe, but where are the south-coast piers? Where is Pevensey Castle? Where's the Observatory? Where's the White Man of Wilmington? All significant navigational features, all missing. And I'll have missed many others I know nothing about.

Stonehenge is there though, unless it was somebody having a laugh with a bogus screenie.

Hi all,

I'm not a fanboy. I speak my mind.

Would you have preferred that this sim had not been released?

Such negative replies. You can't see the piers? Well,well, my my! End of civilisation as we know it.

Look at the positives and to the future. And if you think you can produce something better...go ahead and do it.

Best Regards,
MB_Avro.

Well said.

The problem is that many of us do not have systems that can manage the demands of Cliffs of Dover. That is NOT the developer's fault.
The problem is, that the code is not polished. That has nothing to do with nay-sayers or whining. It's a fact. And I have strong doubts that this is the fault of the customers. So if it's not the customers and not the developers, maybe some Gremlins wrecked the code so they had to release it with 50% of the features disabled because they are not working correctly?

And then there would be whining about it not being released soon enough.


Conveniently forgotten the countless threads demanding every minute little detail have we.


And no, he is not a super minority.


Except how it is or move on, freeking simple really.

Yea but at least if they didn't release it, they wouldn't have dragged their name in the dirt. I am not sure what the reasoning was, but they did it. And yes while complaining really doesn't matter we might as well just "STFU", and leave for the summer and hopefully by fall come back to something better, this is a community.

Everyone is here complaining because they care, because they want to love the game, I guarantee everyone in here complaining is an avid flight sim fan, and wants this game to be the best thing for the next 8 years.

So unless the boards are taking away from the 1C company or causing some server to meltdown, you need the complainers, because from my stance the "complainers" are about 50% of the sales, and I don't see any new simmers jumping ship anytime soon.

I got my first online kill last night. It was the single imost immersive gaming experience i have ever had, bar none.

Not only was I struggling to come up to speed if engine temperature effects and the additional work load just in flying the plane that that entails, but trying to identify the tagets against ground clutter and then get into a firing solution without loosing track of the target. (Who helped me in the last moments by flying past my sights! I think he was concentrating on something else)

CoD has it's problems, but no more that DCS:A-10 and ROF when they were initialy let loose on the world.


Cheers
