That's wth a R9800Pro, but even people with x800's and 6800's struggle to produce framerates approaching slightly respectable levels, and with a piece of kit that costs that much you want to be running it 'on full'.
Aye - people who don't play flight sims don't know how easy they have it :D
its not just processor power either. I have , in the past, been tempted to blame a lackof CPU oomph....but having run Il-2 FB AEP on a 1700XP with 1gig (ie I underclocked my PC) for a whole day, it was good as gold...same as before really. Its just the vid card that suffers
Checking for Ruskies now...Quote:

OK - first Ruski-knowledgeable ATI-ite found and interogated on behalf of the Hexus Massive gave up the following beans©
Things that make a difference include:-
- Which version of the game (it seems IL-2 came out ages ago - but there are newer (more demanding ?) versions as well)
- How fast your card is
- How fast your system is
- Who actually built the PC
If you answer :- Most Recent, Top End, Very, Dutton... then you should have no problems at all
If you answer :- Earliest, Reasonable, Reasonable, A.N. Expert... then you will be OK in most cases
If you answer :- Most Recent, Good, Good, Rötten Crötch*... then you may have serious issues
I am polling for more/better opinions @ HQ right now and will come back to you if I get a reply before the holidays
Also, if anyone can send me a link to a demo of the game - then we will have one of the world's greatest living experts look at it as well for you ;)
*The crotch reference is a neat little in joke for the benefit of Ross & Dutters... any resemblence to a Hexus poster is purely coincidental !
Do you mean the special feature that enables this ?...Quote:

We ALL play the latest version....thats IL-2 Forgotten Battles WITH Aces Expansion Pack AND Pacific Fighters...latest patches always within hours!!!
Most people are on XP 2500 or above...ALL are 512mb DDR or above...all the people asking are Rad9800 Pro or XT or above.
All are self built, using this forum, and all are fully formatted regularly.
ANd Mr Dutton doesn't count!! He's lovely. But he doesnt count ;)
I cant BELIEVE we have you here...it is SO nice to have input. Even if you cant help with it all. Its just simply ACE.
BUT if you DO have a few VVS pilots (thats Russian) in the team and you CAN get them to be part of the IL2 Forum here....I'd like to marry you TWICE :)
...link to an IL-2 demo anyone ?
http://www.pacific-fighters.com/en/pacific.php
I hate to say it but i don't think Pacific Fighters actually has a demo.

Thats the beauty :) ... ouchies at the actual CPU usage on the chart.Quote:

The demo is rather different to the release and patched builds however.
Cool !Quote:
