As you heard the graphics are very good now. A few things that sucks about FC2 is you can't pick a custom loadout, skins (AKA paint job) or your tail number. A few things I love is you can change your loadout with exiting. You can choose how much fuel you want 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%. The trigger system is nice, if the mission builder sets it up right. What I mean by trigger system is you can have a SAM site spawn in at a certain point, like if a jets crosses at line or have a airbase overran.
There are a few things that need to be fixed also, the notch is too big, easy to notch a jets radar. Each missile hit counts as a kill. FC2 runs great on my system which is a dual core 2.4, 4 gigs and a 8800GT I get about over 40fps on the ground and 40+ in the air. The only thing I don't have on high is scenes, mirrors and heat blur. Which I have been meaning to turn them on, might do it tonight if I remember.
