Wow!!!

[hiro]

Thanks Oleg n Team for the continued updates. You guys don't have to do this with the game's arrival already set, but you do.

Peace out and much love from Amerika.



To the negative people:


Dude are some of these posts serious?


After all the effort Oleg & Team have done to keep us on the inside loop, you get people complaining the trailer doesn't suck or the graphics haven't been improved on in X and X years . . . or various other complaints.

I understand about little details, I do get that.

Some like to troll and get a rise out of people, ok well we know you like to vulch on any given server.

But some comments berating Dover?

Oleg just let us in the house and some of you just spit on the plate of food him and his team just spent hours preparing. Or just crapped on the finely upholstered seating or stained the sheets in the bedrooms (you weren't invited in there) with the diseased whores of negativity and malice some run with.

Some people need to go back to elementary and learn some manners and respect.

I'm going to stand by Oleg and his team, and I've got a hundreds of people willing to back me up.

This will get editor's choice and game of the year each time the series comes out, despite what gaming magazines say.

Not even an awesome game such as half life 1 commands this much play as IL-2 original series has.

Why are all the screenshots not of the same quality of the one published by the Kraken ?

The fear of getting too many customers ?

I think this is the best movie from IL-2 Sturmovik: CoD that I have seen so far:

Watch the movie in HD and look at how the Cliffs of Dover rise up and how great the overall terrain looks..

Near the ending you can see the great ground textures here much better.

Nice!

...and a WX coded Hurricane? A big "Woot" for historical markings! ...in this case No. 302 (Polish) Squadron.

Good as it is I can't help noticing an obscene amount of video stuttering and the eventual total lockup of the PC. It's running VERY roughly on that machine. Also the inputs to the stick seem to have far less effect on the aircraft than I would expect.

Having said that: what impressed me most was the shadows in and around the cockpit. Note the port wing with the shadow of the Hurricane's canopy on it and the dynamic shadows in the canopy glass and the console. Sweet!

I hope a lot as changed since then and i believe it has, Luthier said they have optimised the game since this beta which is good news, the whole games starts to lock up as soon as the land comes into view and you can see how objects start to draw themselves as they come into view just like they did in Il2.

Now it is simply a game killer. Either you have perfectly fluid motion (say with a top tier rig) or don't bother put it on sale. CGI are perfectly fluid on consoles, no way that on PC we have any type of stutter.

Do you really think Oleg would be dumb enough to release a game that stuttered constantly?

[Gromic]

IIRC that setting was on max and the hosting I5-750 PC only equipped with 2GB RAM. That stuttering is due to the low RAM and loading issues.

AFAIK it's been stated that 1C has already increased speeds with some of the optimization that has been done. In a nutshell, the more RAM, the better (assuming that's not your bottleneck).

We'll see
