Two cents from a former lurker

Running it on an IMAC with a Windows partition. Half a gig video card means pretty low settings--FPS around 15 over land, but I'm trying to massage more out of it.

One surprise--that there aren't more player generated missions and campaigns available, after a year. I really liked some of the old IL-2 campaigns--Battle of Britain, defending Henderson, the Norwegian campaign. Realize we have a limited map, but Rhubarbs, night interceptions? Wish I was experten enough to make them myself.

Going through my learning curve.

One glitch--the blue text for autopilot, gear, flaps, pitch, etc was there, has disappeared. Anybody know why? Is that text covered by a control option I might have hit by mistake?

Thanks for the help. S^ to all. Great to be back.

Hi Jungmann, so it does run on iMacs with a 512MB video card!
Some time ago I posted a query for a friend who has a similar setup but wasn't sure whether it would run on his machine, I'll pass him the info then, thanks. I take it you have the latest version of the patch, how bad are the graphics settings?

It does work in a Mac, but in a Windows HD partition. I'm still exploring around, but I'd say close to low end specs. My options are all on medium right now. Wonder if this beta patch is going to improve things.

I think it's worth $50+ .. works great on my machine.

Why I haven't created any missions is lack of aircraft! I'm half way through 'Death of 141 Sqn' but strange Defiant AI has stopped me dead, plus life gets in the way too.
