I'll bet this will delay U.S. release til about then...

I'm not sure we can expect too much more from the engine, performance-wise. Luthier pretty much hinted at that in the opening post.
The performance has come a long way from the initial launch in the west, believe it or not.
Not to suggest simply throwing money at a problem (always easy to do if you have it) but in this case we're getting close to the time when an upgrade is the only thing that will make the game run better.

Your machine is good, but that video card of yours is getting on now. If you can sort yourself out with a decent card, the game should by rights run very well for you.

I hope your wrong because my system should be screaming and I have worst FPS Ive ever had since day one. I had no problems until last patch.

By sounds you mean...real MERLIN and BMW sound implemented into the game..
I understand that will take some time(a couple of months).
But its worth it...its what this game needs.
Thank you in advance.

By the way...i cant get rid of the feeling that people are running away from this game faster than they run away from their mother in law...NOT GOOD!!

No need for BMW sounds until we get to 1941 and the Fw190 appears...

Time is precious.

Playing the game and complaining about its flaws won't make the next patch come any faster, so I for one am mostly doing other things, popping back in to check the forum from time to time.

When the next patch comes, I'll probably fly a bit again and see whether the sim is yet worth investing time in. If not then I'll go back to mostly doing other stuff until it is.

I suspect that a lot of people are just quietly doing much the same thing. But we don't write threads about it, whereas the people who are angry tend to be quite vocal in writing "screw you guys, I'm going home!" threads. So there's perhaps a false impression that loads of people have quit, when the reality is probably that a few people want attention for their anger, and the majority are just doing other things whilst they wait for the sim to be finished.

Personally, I think it might have been more honest if the sim had been released as a cheap paid beta, with a cheap upgrade to the full version for those people who bought the beta. That way we would probably have avoided some of the angst, and a lot of the bad reviews.

In any case, I suspect that there are a lot of people out there who will suddenly return once the patches take us to "finished product" levels of quality.

+1 on the first paragraph and I hope you're right on the second.

Thanks for the up date on the next patch.

There are problem's with CLoD as we know.

I also know that the CLoD team are using new engines to make this sim that have never been used before.

And there working to make things work in uncharted waters.

I'm glad thy released this sim when thy did and not months or years form now.

I'm having a blast with this sim.

[oho]

When can we have decent anti-alliassing?

I'm falling in the OT trap ... but Lord Halifax literally trembled at the idea of taking over from Neville Chamberlain, he had psychosomatic troubles when he was asked to give his availability to be the British PM.
Indeed, Churchill was chosen upon Chamberlain's indication, after the repeated refusals of Halifax. It seems very unlikely that Halifax would have been available in May 1940, when Britain was well into the thick of the frail. And as far as an appeasement, I'm sure that neither the royal family nor the Britons would have accepted a brutal diminishment of their Empire, influence and wealth, the logical consequence of a reddition to German expansion.

Cheers!
