It runs at 2560x1600
« on: May 04, 2011, 02:58:39 AM »
  Ok, I can allmost hear the SAS lynch mob gathering.  I went from I will never get this to playing it all the time in about 3 weeks.  I have just purchased a HP 30 inch monitor and I am in love. 
Here is last nights experience with COD.  I had set up a 4vs4 engagement before I left for Thailand.  I could not even get the aircraft to stay aloft much less kill something before I left.  A week in Thailand gave me time to think about tactics and CEM. I came back on monday hung over and tired but managed to reset my controls a little better.  Wow, are you ever busy in that 109 pit!  Flying proved to be too much for me in my state. 
  Tuesday I got home with a purpose.  I flew the mission about three times getting a kill here and a kill there and then It happened.  On my third attempt I was suddenly fighting three Spits on my own.  I kept booming and zooming from wavetop to about 300 meters.  I managed a good cannon and mg burst on one and left him to die.  Then the other two kept at me.  I got the best of the leader on a sort of head on pass.  He immediatly went wings level and I finished him off with the pea shooters. He crashed into the sea with me hot on his tail.  Bullet strikes on my wings told me I was in trouble.  I climbed away and then zoomed at the ground suddenly he appeared to my right.  As he passed in front of me I got a 90 degree deflection on him.  Soon I was on his tail and emptied my cannons into him. I watched him go down.  Then Mr.4 came out of nowhere and it was on.  With just my pea shooters to rely on it was hard earned, but a kill none the less.  Thoughout all this I did not burn the engine or over rev too much.  I landed somewhere in northen France and began doing the happy dance in my room.  I was near E on fuel and tottally out of ammo.  IRL I was also mentally exhausted after the fight.  Lessons learned:  109 fights vertical (I knew that) Prop pitch needs constant adjustment.  Keep and eye on the temps at all times. 
  I play with med settings except for (I think) objects on high.  8x AA and 8x AF.  SLI is disabled.  The game is beautifull. CEM is a handfull and my accuracy in this sim SUCKS.  But for once I managed to Kill 4 and stay alive.  Now I am sure it will take ages to duplicate this. 
  The brit birds swing to the left badly and it seems as thou trim does nothing to cure this.  I am not fond of them.  The 88 was a handfull before I left and I dont know if I can Manage two engines until I get better at this.

great to hear you're having good fun with CloD......err, i don't know about an SAS lynch mob, though.....can't understand why you feel you deserve one, but i guess i could rustle one up if you really want.... :D
i've decided to wait until i buy my next pc, which might be...oh, in about a year or so... :D
i've been looking so forward to this new-gen IL2 that i really don't want my first experience to be disappointing, so i'll wait until all the issues are sorted out, then hopefully i'll enjoy it to the MAX!!!  ;D 8)

My question is simply this: how the hell did you get the game to run well enough at that resolution so it was actually enjoyable???

I built a new rig.

8 gigs GSKILL DDR3 1600
Asus P6X58D Premium 1366
EVGA 470 (Fermi)x2 in SLI
Intel 80GB SSD
Win 7 64
And I guess I am just lucky.   ;)

Will do, I am at work atm but as soon as I get home today.  Where are the screenies kept in the game structure?  I would also like to make a movie but I am afraid that is beyond my capabilities.

Whilst it does look a fair bit sharper and the cockpit detail is a step up over Il-2, I agree, it isn't mind-blowing.
