Game Settings:
Everything medium except: Forest-Low Texture-High Grass-Off Shadows-On
Roads-On All 3D graphics settings done on GPU, turn off in games graphic setting. Turn Spit/Hurri mirrors to off.

Hope this helps.. What racks me off about this sim is that my PC is well within the published spec. I'm not bothered about having waving grass/trees etc, if I'm that low to the ground, I'll join the Tank Corps.

Hi Vonte,
Your system is pretty basic for such a demanding game. With a 32bit version of Windows u are limited to how much Ram u can utilise and this game definitely benefits from 8gb of system memory or more under a 64bit windows.
I would definitely turn trees and shadows OFF as both of these will stress your graphics and eat your framerates.
You may benefit from setting Textures to medium as well.
Be careful what u let your nVidia gpu settings do as they may be trying to force settings that also are sucking up your gpu processing power. I would personally set most of them to application controlled and then set whatever want in the game settings.
Hope this helps.

I think that this game is still 32-bit application, and this preventing it to use more that 2GB ram (4GB RAM is enough for it).
Correct me if I'm wrong.

... now the sim slowly comes closer to what it was supposed to be on release day.

Yesterday evening had a 2+ hours mission over the channel with my virtual wing in 2 formations (4 ship each) patroling Dover - Calaise route on Repka full real with 109 E3s and i (we) have to say:

THANK YOU DEVS FOR THIS AWESOME UPDATE!!

Perfrmance increased a lot,i havo 60 frames constantly (vSync ON), going to 50 when something explodes around but.. Who Cares

Sounds are awesome, graphics too (flying with everything maxed out except for buldings and trees set to low) and there's a lot of immersion while in close formation earing all 4 A/Cs engines

Keep on this way, this sim is growing up in the best way.

S!

Believe or not: today as I was trying the new patch, flying a single quick mision on a Spit, I got a brunette sitting on my lap !!!!!
So far I've been unable to duplicate as to print the screen,but she was lovely in her summer dress....Is that a kind of Easter Egg of the dev team? How can I get it again?
By the way...GOOOD JOB and GREAT SIM

simply choose the Heartbreaker model

As most PC games released these days are bug cities, I think we should create a new date - PRD - "Playable release date" or RRD etc, usually 6-8 months after.

Of course this is bad news for developers as no-one will buy on the RD, they'll wait for PRD, smashing their profits. Although DLCs will be more valuable?

Hi Torian
Hear what you said about GPU settings, but you are contradicted by PC Pilots excellent article on "how to improve fps". Their tests proved that letting the application tell the GPU what 3D settings it required was grossly inefficient. Still I'm, no expert, I just want to fly combat missions. From all the sufferers of Launcher exe failures on forums, I know I'm not alone. My "crap" PC flies Gaijins Beta "World of Planes" just fine!!
Thanks for replying anyway.

No luck. It works now, but on a quick mission "Allied column attack" or smth. every time I get on 109's 6 OC I get CTD. At first I thought I might have an unstable OC but the same happens with stock settings.

Shelving it until the next patch. There are other simulations out there to play until this comes out of beta.
