1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted March 29, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Crap. Just saw the Steam minimum specs.. *SUPPORTED VIDEO CARDS AT TIME OF RELEASE: ATI®: 5830/5850/5770/5870/6870/6950/6970 NVidia®: 250/260/275/285/460/465/470/480 So my 4870 is not on that list... and a new card is so not on my horizon anytime soon either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted March 29, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I think a gtx460 is in order for me.... I went for a 460, one of these . Absolutely great for '46 and everything else I do - good value too. I waited a while, the price came down so I got another. I had CoD in mind when selecting this card, so going for 2 in SLI (when fully supported) was cheaper than buying a 480 and dual card setup performs better than a 480 on my resolution of 1680 x 1050 for virtually everything (or so Tom's Hardware says....) Go for a 460. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothkrieger Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Glad to hear that the new sim is sorting itself out slowly. I will have to experience it through your comments as my puter is nowhere near capable of running it and that will not change anytime soon.

2. Administrators fruitbat Posted March 29, 2011 2. Administrators Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 best bang for buck option at the moment is a GTX560ti imo. seriously, or less you can pick up a cheap 480 as there selling them off, 560 is the way to go. obviously if you have the money 580 all the way. It defiantly seems at the moment its very much gpu limited, not cpu from todays testing between myself and mayhem heres a comparison of a 460 v 560 by the way, http://www.hwcompare.com/8871/geforce-gtx-460-1gb-vs-geforce-gtx-560-ti At the moment, with a gtx280, with the res turned down to 1280x800 (anything higher slideshow), i'm getting @50fps over the sea, but high teens low 20's over land. I'm in no rush to buy the english version now, until i get a new card, and/or it becomes much better optimised, thats for sure. Hope the upcoming patch at the end of the week addresses some of the issues. at the moment, its not really acceptable to me with the hardware i have (read gfx card) and how it plays, i can do dogfights over water, but thats it in reality, and only at a shit res to boot.

2. Administrators fruitbat Posted March 29, 2011 2. Administrators Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 well BadAims doing OK on a 470, so maybe a 460 will be the min card needed to play it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rox Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Ok so, first time I flew over water at full resolution, performance was horrible but it worked. Second time I flew over land at 1200xsomething, even worse, and after a few seconds game crashed. Now, I played over water again, at 800x600, and framerate was at about 20 which was good, but I put a single do17 there to shoot at, and as soon as it came into view, game started locking up, and I again crashed. I still haven't found a place where I can fiddle with the graphics settings, only the resolution options, under which are 2 check boxes and a dropdown menu on which I selected the uppermost value. Is there a way to disable cockpit shadows for one? If I can't have the eye candy I at least want to check the flight and damage model, regardless if it's in 800x600, and I have yet to find shadow, filtering and texture quality settings to tune them down and hopefully stop my game from crashing every time something other than water comes into view. Oh and also, my stick isn't working, any advice on setting it up from someone who figured it out would be welcome. I also got the hang of most of the menus, if anyone needs help I can post screenies and translate basic menu navigation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rox Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hah, my PC can handle dogfights over the sea after all! At 800x600, but still....I shot a Beau with a 110, one of its gears kinda went half way out, and while he was pulling G's it descended completely, amazing detail! Ok, in case anyone who bought the russian game still doesn't know, here's what I figured out so far: Main menu Single game menu Training menu Multiplayer menu Options menu Difficulty menu, what I managed to figure out so far Stick Controls setup (under "controls" in the options menu, haven't yet tried finding stick calibration but it's somewhere here, maybe the two buttons above "back"... Gun controls setup. Still need to find the option to turn on the gunsight, so far I can only do it manually by clicking the cockpit The extra features menu (from the main menu) And when you press escape during a mission, this is what you get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steam did an automatic "update", the menus are now all bugged, like I'm unable to go back to main menu after clicking on something from there, and I CANNOT start any mission, at all, I get an error while loading: Method not found: 'Int32 maddox.sound.WGroup.getHandle()' fu***** great update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
