    It has, the last patch introduced some "blind spots" depending on the experience level of the enemy AI. So, they can be slipped up on and aren't all seeing. They can still outclimb you on forming up, etc. but (and I don't know if it's because I'm better or not) it seems to have been toned down a bit.

    I've had DCS for quite a while and bought several modules. Not that I ever used it much because I have what would be considered a minimum spec system for running DCS. (ASUS AMD Athelon II X2 220 2.8G, 64 bit Win 10, 8 GB ram, GTX 650 Ti 2MB. Like I said, decidedly minimum.) Consider it banking them for the future.

     

    I would get 20-40 (40 looking at the sky) in free flight (F-86) with frequent dips into the teens using low presets. Stuttering to the point it would be nearly unflyable if anything was going on. With 1.5 and low presets I get 120. Not a typo. 120 frames. Using medium I get 80. Fantastic! It's finally useable and I can SEE! Still getting the odd stutter but I think it's either rendering or the full screen bug. At any rate, color me impressed.

    Thanks for the link , Dave...... :flyer:

    No problem, also read the hints and tips and it'll give you a way to fly a "career" with a single squadron. 33Lima is correct about the syncronized ballet of formation movements. It's been improved but it's still there. The AI truely is first rate and most importantly, it's variable. You get an "experten" you will know it and they will fly like they know how to fly to the strenghts of their aircraft.

    Is there any links for websites that offer the updates available for BoB II ? Will stay away from CLOD for now. The update for CFS3-BoB won't be available until sometime in October due to personal problems. The version out now is still good though. I have the prerelease update (minus some of the new missions and effects) and it's awesome. Giant formations,fantastic ai ,graphics and immersion are all covered (not too hard on the pc too).CFS3 can be had at a cheep price at Amazon. Will definitely be getting BoB II (amazon has it for a cheap price). Thanks for the advice. Any help of were to find a website that covers BoB II will be useful. Another site to help getting CFS3 installed on Win7 and above and everything else about CFS3 is   http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/content.php   Lots more links but this will get you started.

    BoBII is probably the most accurate single player simulation of the battle you will find. With the BoBDG updates you will have the accurate markings on every aircraft, of every squadron (on their correct airfields) on every day of the battle, practically. It has a dynamic campaign where you can take oversight of the airwar, so you can win or loose the battle. If you don't want that level of management and just want squadron level activity, you can do that too. It is also the only, let me repeat that the ONLY sim that will give you massive air raids on the scale of the battle on a modest computer without bringing it to a smoking halt. The bad news is that it is OLD and looks it. 

     

    CoD is ok. Very much improved with the atag patches and more computer intensive. The un-modded single player campaign is crap. If you expect to have a big fight over London, you'd better have a very beefy system. The on line component is pretty good, but don't buy into a lot of the atag hype. Visually, it's very beautiful but it comes with a price.
