It's not perfect, sure, and I can't even imagine how bad it was 9 months ago. Though, the little details they carved into this product, the amount of new features, the engine management, the clickable cockpit, the antropomorphic control, the exploding tires, the damage model, the flight model, the ballistics (I find much harder bringing down planes now, but when I do I feel so satisfied) are at a completely new level. If really 1c will get out a 50% improvement on performances, this game, plus the mods that will come out, will be as legendary as its predecessor IMHO.

What performance mods did you use?

HT off, Ramdisk (no effect on me), game booster 3, tweaking settings in CCC (all performance settings On / all quality settings Off) and lowering in game settings to 2005 standards.

It worked for me in terms of acceptable fps... Of course I'm still suffering from CTD'S, stutters and massive RAM drains.

CloD is great, well, more like it has great potentials. I'm sure that it will develop into a milestone of flight simulations. There's still some way to go, but it looks promising.

Let's see what I like about Clod:

Lighing effects are brilliant, be it plane reflections or a sunset over the channel.

I love how kills work - shouldershooting and kill stealing isn't a problem anymore because we have shared victories!

I love CEM and the complexity of the models.

I love the grass, the fact that we have short and long grass, I enjoy belly landing on a field

The new sounds are also very good. At realease sounds were the worst part of CloD but now they're awesome. If only they could be improved with some startup / shutdown sounds. Good job, devs!

I love how you can dress up your own pilot. I used to play the THPS series, and setting up my own skater was one of my favorite features - no I'm not gay - too bad that I still can't select the iconic Irvin jacket because it goes through the fuselage of the Spit.

Damage models - jaw dropping!

Built in weathering - brilliant idea, a pity that it doesn't work yet (/anymore )

Gun belting - would be an excellent feature if it worked properly.

...and the list goes on. There's a lot to love about this sim! Just keep up the hard work and everyone will be happy

Some good, some bad but not great yet.

Positive: Will be a great WW2 sim if they ever fix the major problems. Its getting there.

Negative: It is taking a long time to fix it. Understandable, there is a lot of major stuff to fix.

I try it each patch and will continue to shelve it until it is as good as the other sims I fly. One day sooner rather than later, I hope.
