Totally agree, the initial release of COD, even with the initial bugs was very playable on my highly optimized system. Most people with an average computer would have had no love for the unfinished COD code, and few seen its potential. Team Fusion is just touching the surface of COD codes capabilities and is better in many ways than the initial BOS code. That said I have no doubt that the BOS code could be improved before the release and many more improvements made if the BOS code is successful enough to allow further development of theaters. It will be interesting to see how both sims evolve. Hopefully well for the combat flight sim communities. I know its business, but I still have considerable animosity for Jason/Loft's part in pulling the rug from underneath Luthier and COD's code, when they were so vulnerable and so close to being successful.

I wonder if they are still friends, that would say a lot about that situation. ...yep I hope BOS does well too, we need developers

VKB rudder pedals are Russian made? Can you send me the link to their site?
When Stalingrad had its name changed to Volgograd the city officials got a telegraph saying: new name is accepted. Josif Vissarionovitch Volga

People here just need a properly working WWII flight sim to feel happy.

Hi Bersrk!

Besrk,

your main rig is very very similar to mine except that your GPU is better and you don't give us the resolution you are running or your in-game settings. Mine are 1680 x 1050 and hammering 60fps (because of V-synch on) in flight, min 40 in dense combat and never below 30 around concentrated objects, usually higher. My settings are generally High with a few ground shadows/grass/building settings turned down because they are a big drain and unnecessary in a combat sim even if I were doing combat at 200 feet over London (and who needs to see the doorknobs anyway?).

If your rig won't run CoD you are probably demanding too high settings. You may want the max settings and I believe there are still some issues with CoD graphics but it is completely playable if you lower your sights to just damn good graphics instead of the ultimate.

On the other hand, if for various reasons you have placed yourself in the 'I Hate CoD' camp or are a fervent pro-777/anti-1C simmer then I guess nothing will persuade you to try it again but I genuinely believe it's your loss.

COD's code certainly wasn't crappy, in fact its very good, it was just unfinished, and unoptimized. Team Fusion's work is proving that in spades. Its just unfortunate that the code took sooooo long to develop, and was forced out the door before it was ready. Understandably the investors ran out of patience.

I highly doubt their still friends. Hopefully karma will even things out.
