IL-2 COD Really Comes to Life with a decent Video Card

[CrazySchmidt]

Hi UD, long time no see. How ya doing mate?

It's funny you know, I have only just last week updated my graphics card from a 9800 GTX to a GTX560 Ti and have also noticed a significant improvement in performance and was thinking I should post here similarly to what you have just noted, but then having noticed your post I thought I would just tag onto yours.

It's nice to finally feel this game running smoothly over land for the most part, still some stuttering as reported by many, but very enjoyable now. I actually spent some time just flying around checking out the sights and looking more closely at the render quality as I used to do with IL-2.

It has given me the motivation to start looking more closely at the new animation features with this release and also to start using the FMB, which is a great place to spend some time to discover a lot of the new goodies!

I think it's now reasonable to assume that the whole thing is on track to be a fine follow up addition from our beloved IL-2 and I'm certainly looking forward to all the pending updates.

It's nice to finally be having some fun with this release.

Cheers, CrazySchmidt.

Well hey man! So... still coding much? Once you can see the new features of the landscape, it is night and day compared to the original IL-2... but as it has been noted... this is a complex flight SIM. These applications are magnitudes more intense, and this is a niche market compared to the mega releases which are churned out like clones.

The models are very detailed... and if anything, I think the manning of the gun stations is un-necessarily complex for my taste, but hey.

I hope to see more apps from you. Mission Mate is brilliant.

Yeah its beast so it needs a beast of a machine to run it.


yeah I'm going to wait . . .

I priced out a system on new egg . . .

its going to run me 1500 USD or more . . .

we got an extra server, and it can run ClOD ok . . . gotta love logitech 3D extreme

if I build now, obsolete, but once the game is solid, if I build then . . . I'll have something good


plus they have new tech coming around the corner like Intel's 3D tri gate transistor and HP's memristor processor, new solid state drives, and FeTram memory . ..

For me its better to wait . . .

After adding a SSD for CloD, it ran better. Unfortunatly still got large- and micro stutters. I'm still waiting for better Crossfire support. Two 1 GB ati 4890 OC won't do the trick just yet. So probably it would be more interesting with one 1,5+Gb card and a 4 Gb extra RAM.

As a non-believer of all the placebo fixes out there I can confirm that a SSD made a BIG difference for me too. In conjunction with the latest beta patch the game runs better than ever.

A new marketing idea??.. buy a ssd with Cliffs of Dover. I noticed that the HDD led kept blinking during play, so CloD needs a lot of HDD traffic.
