The sim was released unfinished which made the listed minimum spec irrelevant. The next patch should boost performance enough to allow a minimum spec system run the sim with minimum settings. New combat flight sims have usually always required high end systems to run with all the bells and whistles turned on.

As the series progresses and the developer adds resource hungry features, we will need to upgrade our systems accordingly if you want keep your frame rate high. I upgraded my highend systems a number of time during the original series. I wanted high frames with no sign of a stutter at any time. This sim will provide options for people with average systems to play the sim well just as the original series did.

That race is a great example Bliss.


From Chivas: "The sim was released unfinished which made the listed minimum spec irrelevant."


@Chivas , wouldnt you say that thats the case with most pc sims/games and more so ones that have a PvP mode.

@Chivas "The sim was released unfinished which made the listed minimum spec irrelevant."


WTF Chivas, i dont remember it saying that on the box or on the steam site.

"these are the min specs....but they dont count as we are going to release it unfinished so anything you read on the box is irrelevant....in a years time were making a patch that will improve performance, then and only then will the min spec make sense"

The box actually says very little, most of the features you've called promises in your negative rants aren't even mentioned.

It would probably not have been an intelligent idea for the developer to say the sim was unfinished on the box. It might have made you happy, but it would have almost guaranteed the demise of the development. Atleast now there is chance the sim you will be finished.
