I changed AA in game from 1x to 4x and the green went away... now it is normal...in Full Screen

Card setting is Application Preference

Ummmm! Memory leakage since the release.... can I have my 59.00 back please? Ill send it too you Devs. Maybe use it to hire someone to optimize the engine for you. Sheesh!

After I ran the Black Death Track four or five times benching different settings, I have 16GB of RAM.

If this has been captured in the past...I missed it

When COD was first released... on my 1st flight... I flew up to London in a BF109 and Strafed all the Fuel Tanks I could find along the River...

Most of them Blew with gunfire and you could set the landscape on fire with nice explosions, with billowing plumes of smoke...

You could see debris thrown up with the explosions...and the fires would burn for sometime ....It was impressive

Now The tanks will not blow up or catch fire......nothing....

So "London Burning" does not apply anymore...Pity

Any chance we will ever get this back?

Instead of fixing issues the devs choose to take away from the game. I guess that's the Russian way? Take the easy way out and don't focus on optimizing the existing engine. Lets just take content away instead and mask the issues. As the devs say dont let that retail Alpha release hit you in the ass on your way out as they roll around in all our money. :/

Was not my intention for this post to become an example for disgruntled "Sim pilots"... but that's inevitable...

More to point out something we need back in the Sim...

I am sure they did this to help frames... hope it is a temporary removal...

It's more of a funny ha ha with truth to it. This proves there engine is far from being optimized. No matter what patch they implement there is the horrid large amount of frames per second drop. Check this out!

I really don't think I can build a much better computer than I already have. The game engine is jacked and whom ever coded the engine needs to revisit the Dev school again. What happend to the damn optimizers and testers? A public Alpha would of saved this game, I mean one that was released before the retail copies hit the market.

RIP IL2 COD Best of luck on the Russian Front with the same game engine.

I think most who folks around the forum are extremely dissapointed with the " Shell" game the devs have used under the guise of optimization. The fact is if you have to omit features or turn them off to get better frame rates and smoother game play , this cannot be defined as improvement. If fact go back to the last " official " path and compare the cockpits. This most recent " beta"patch further washes out the coloring and reduced the 3D look of the entire cockpit. The spinning prop is cartoonish, in certian lighting you barely see thru it. In addition ,I should not be able to distinguish my wingmans " spinning" prop thru my canopy from 100 yard distance, any distance for that matter. When dust, fire, and/or smoke are present the frame rates drop further than the previously released beta. Using the original release as the bench mark, the net improvement is non existant, 18 months from the release.

aside from the occasional cockpit view forced from front zoom view to close up revi sight
view and head slam movement to close up, I'm liking this version keep going.

Totally Agree.
What's next?
Turn everything to Black and White for a
"better" frame rate?

Maybe, they should have gone this route?
With the old game engine....and where we are now?
We could have been, a year ago.
