The never ending cockpit discussion

Oh, but that was "Battle of Britain, Storm of War", and this now is "Crap over Dover". Two totally different simulations obviously.

BoB, SoW had stunning graphic engine and very good simulation engine, CloD does have graphic engine in theory, and simulation engine borrowed from IL2. You see, totally different simulations

Hmmm. Seeing those screens, those graphics indeed were quite a lot better then what we have now. I, too, got the feeling that a lot of stuff simply got swtiched of over the course of patching and optimisation. Which in many ways is a pity.

Then again we have to deal with the fact that lots of folks playing this sim currently do not have absolute top end of the line equipment and to be frank, you can optimize as much as you can, some features are and will stay very performance hungry and I am not sure how many of those feature are so integral to the engine that making options to switch them on or off will work.

I actually can live with the sime as it is now, relativly smooth but still dead gorgous compared to anything out there currently in regards to graphics when it comes to simulations. The new IL2 series is here to stay for a long time and I suppose it will work like the old IL2, with progress and over time more and more features will be turned on. We just glimpsed into the future when CoD was initially released.

So, see it from the positive side, good times ahead =)
