I'll never understand folks getting in a twist because they cannot run CloD on maximum graphic settings, and get 1 billion fps, all on a two year old computer.
This isn't a port from a console game.
It's a game engine designed to be future proof for a decade or so.
Does no one remember the release of IL2 10 years ago? There were no computers that could run it full out, even with the limited settings available in the conf.ini at the time. Over the years and many updates the graphics got better, more features and settings were unlocked which enabled better images and performance at the same time, and importantly, our hardware improved.
Can no one see that this is what will happen with Cliffs of Dover?
Oh, wait, this must be the forum for "Short Attention Span Theatre".
The problem is that we can run CloD NOW, WITH ACTUAL HARDWARE, WITH HIGH SETTINGS AND GREAT VISUAL QUALITY, WITH FLUID PERFORMANCE!
I need to write this big, because the talking about "future hardware" is inaccurate too: we can run CloD great now! The "beast" aren't so heavy as people believes... We can have great visuals and gameplay with middle range hardware.

I totally agree!!! With decent hardware this sim looks good and is playable. Of course there is a long list of thing to do for 1C, but common, they are working their ass off and the results are showing. Yes, the sim wasn't ready for release at release date and still isn't really. But that's getting old by now. Be glad with what you have instead of what you don't have or else write an official complain. Already this is the best IL2 to date and I never ever want to go back to previous versions because of the looks AND because of the simulation aspect in all its glory! I've had lots of fun with it already...

Look how it runs really nice in TODAY middle range hardware:
Now it's over to me. Really tired to show to some blind fools how this sim runs great now, and how this engine is amazing.
Some people just don't DESERVE this kind of software, they just want some cheap "finished game"... I'm loving this "broken game" but GREAT engine!
People are talking about "content"? Well, I'm having a great time in the "sandbox" of FMB, putting a lot of units to be destroyed...
