Thanks, folks. I managed to get on for a few minutes. Works fine for me when I turn off the fancy terrain (what I thought was a high-end computer plainly is not!). Funny, I kind of like the faceless terrain, and of course the color of the trees doesn't have much to do with trying to shake the people on your six. My frame rates were in the high 40s to mid-50s under those circumstances, and I've heard that you can't notice anything over 60 anyway. As time goes by I expect we'll hear new hints on how to maximize performance.
Since no one was coming into AvA I dropped into EW for five minutes, long enough for AzBaer to run me into one of those faceless trees. We are definitely going to enjoy the I-16s!
