If you guys have to click on the screen to get rid of the taskbar when CoD starts, then you're running in pseudo fullscreen mode.

I do have to click it most of the times atleast, but it hasn't been a problem for me. Is that killing performance for some people or what makes it a big deal?

Pseudo fullscreen prevents AA from being implemented properly, as well as V-sync. Some Amd cards also don't clock up to full speed because of it.
That is my understanding of the issue.

I voted: "I've put it away to see if it's fixed in the future" … because I don’t have the game yet.

After the US release I’m going to wait and see what happens before buying. I have no interest in beta testing a game that has been in development for 5 or 6 years and is still not ready.

Time will tell, IL-2 Sturmovik is a great game so let’s see if IL-2 Sturmovik / Cliffs of Dover can hold onto its customers after a ruff start, I think it well.

Still putting my system together but there's no rush, SLI might take awhile.

Is it really ethical to vote at all then?

Very much enjoying playing it.... i think the future looks good for this sim. With full realism & the huge potential via the mission builder... I'll defiantly get my money's worth over the next few years.

I read this forum almost daily for the past 4 years; page after page. I think I have a good idea that “I've put it away to see if it's fixed in the future” would be my exact course of action, so yes my vote was indeed a ethical.

Enjoying it despite the problems.

That doesn't mean there are no problems, it just means they are gradually being reduced, making the sim usable and fun as time goes by.

I run it on a two-year old PC with most of the settings on medium, it's smooth, to me it looks better than IL2 on max detail and has a lot more complexity to tinker with when flying the aircraft, so overall it works very well for me.

stopped playing it until it improves a great deal.

I could live with the gfx and fps issues if the fm's were anywhere near close to reality, plus you could actually fly at the planes operational heights.

but at the moment, just doesn't cut it for me.
