I have it on the highest authority that if you can't enjoy it at least 75% of it's indescribable awesomeness, you must "pay attention to you system". I'm not certain, but I believe this is fanboy code for "spend a s**tload of money until it runs right in order to overcome poor coding with pure horsepower".

"Don't cry...They will ban them!"

What??? You aren't going to wait until the next patch floats down from heaven and fixes everything?

No. But I'm waiting on one. I've had the torrent running since it came out and I've only gotten 6%. I'm using UTorrent and it's all set up fine, green check box and all. Never had any issues with any other torrent downloads. At this rate it'll be 5 weeks and I ain't waiting that long for an RC... Edit: Should have some normal d/l links this weekend. I'll post them up when they come available.

Here you go! http://ultrapack.il2war.com/index.php/topic,3892.0.html

Not at all.

I've always liked the XIV and the IX best. But, it's hard to go against the most numerous of all, the Mk. V!

Should be about right, at the rate it's going.

I like it!!!

If there was a way to get rid of all that drivel...Wow. I hope they learn and include the mission builder in the release and tweak it up FM wise. Maybe the ability to have loads of skins like IL2. If they can get IL2's content (Less the 147,672 different variants of the same series of A/C) into that engine, look out. I would NEVER buy Crap of Dover.

Evidently there was a memo that went out that said ALL new games are to be released half finished for full price, but I guess I missed it On the RoF front, I managed to pot an Albatross the other day that landed in a heap in front of a church. Most appropriate.

And most importantly...We have the unmitigated gall to have the expectation that a released, non Beta, would actually work. Who knew?

It is indeed, their loss! If they use the release of CloD as an example of what not to do, they should have a winner with the WoPII release. I do like WoP, but the canned missions are starting to wear on me.

Agree 100%. If they could take some decent guts and a campaign into that game engine they'd have gold! It has all the eye candy that CloD allegedly does and it will run on just about any computer out there...It's got to overcome the bad rap it got from the hardcore crowd because of the way it comes across as too "arcadey". To some extent that is valid, but it has been getting better but it will never be accepted by the majority of the IL2 full switch crowd because they've already condemned it.

Exactly right! I honestly don't remember IL2 (original) or FB/46 crashing or any other nonsense. The early AI had a tendency to fly into hills, you and each other, but I can remember MANY fights in rainstorms and snowstorms with no real issues. As I recall, most of the patches were to fix AI, flight model issues, add new planes and fix stuff that was broken on the A/C...I may be talking out my ass, but I can only remember one patch that did anything (optimizing?)to the actual game engine. Revisionist history, ain't it wonderful?

Despite all the mooing and whining and the "there will never ever be another WWII simulator, ever and it's all your fault you ungrateful bastards" posts, I agree completely. From what I can see, watch, read and hear, this is nothing more than a tarted up IL2/46 with some added bells and whistles. Same warts, same defects, many of the same limitations because it's the same freaking game engine. I can't stomach the accusatory bleating of the fanboys and the constant nitpicking from the opposite spectrum is getting almost as tiresome. We don't need a new post every day telling us the same stuff is broken over and over...I know practically nothing works right except the all important multi player BS...I hope there are enough on line players to keep it afloat, because there's precious little to hold your interest otherwise unless you like simulating cockpit shadows and practicing CEM (which may or may not work properly). While were at it, I have seen scores of posts about "you don't remember the early days of IL2, it was just as bad". No. No it wasn't. I could install it on the machine that I owned and it actually WORKED!!! Framerates weren't great, but I could fly it and kill things. Over land even!

Good God, give them an RE8 and a Roland and maybe they'll be quiet! You'd think that 90 percent of aircraft over the lines and 75 percent of the squadrons formed were two seaters.

The latest patch has been released for those that own it...Don't know what it's supposed to fix but according to Luthier they finally got it fixed so it'll work full screen...Really? It didn't like to work full screen? Really? What year is this?

I don't "on-line" but I'm sure that others might! Glad you got it sorted!

Cripes! As screwed up as this whole mess is, they deserve to fail.
