Makes me wonder what kind of hardware some of you are running. Some post theirs others don't.

I am not sure why I do not see the anomalies I read about such as black shadows in redout or blue lines, or blocky shoreline etc. I do see some of the bugs mentioned but not all.

I turned up my settings a little (roads, Grass, forest to high) everything else was already max and flew some quick missions. Started with Sightseeing over London and dropped down to set off all the Fuel Tanks I could find. I truly set the riversides around London ablaze, The explosions are nice. I flew around there for about an hour at different altitudes. No problems... minor momentary slowdown at ground level but not a problem considering that has always been a load and with the dozen fuel fires I started.. Then I flew a bomber intercept and dogfight. Those ran smooth as silk.

So I am having a good time with it and look forward to more improvements. Is it just me or did that formation of Spitfires just walk away from me in my BF109? Yes CEM and all tweaked out. I had to do a shallow dive to catch them.

Nice to hear the wind when you open the the fenster. I did not hear the rounds hitting other planes anymore but did hear the hits I took.

AI and some multiplayer work such as fixing the Channel map for Coops would make my day...oh and the mirrors may as well be taken off. It is irritating to look up and see a test pattern. So as part of my start up I turn them off everytime.

Agreed about the mirrors, looks like im trying to tune an analogue television set.
