Did you notice
-the wrecking burning planes ON FIRE spiraling to the ground ?
-The little bits that fly all around an explosion
-the colourfull explosion when an A/C hits the ground ?
-Dusk/Dawn/Night...(Meneeds some lights for landings!)
etc,etc...

I guess I am lucky to have a system that supports it very well, as the only FPS drop I have is while flying through the "Black smoke"... (Pii400/256MB RAM/Elsa Erasor X).

I know there are still a couple of Bugs and a Zillion of us who will still rant...but I trust HTC to get rid of those.

Whatever poeple say...I LIKE IT !

I gotta admit. I love the warm, happy feeling i get, when the guy in front of me explodes, and showers my plane with confetti

And the prop sound pitch changes too in High Speed dives.
I remember people whining bout the lack of that.. well it's here!

It's hard to see the colorful explosion of a A/C hitting the ground from inside the exploding plane's cockpit.

I love it too. I did have to drop down my resolution setting to keep my FPS in the 20's or higher and smoke sucks the life out of them period. But the new effects are trully superb!!!

Bombed when completely dark out, simply awesome, you can see the target fine in the bombsite, alittle dark, but hey, that's realistic! The explosions were cool, the billowing black smoke was a site to behold during the night with the fire and all.

This game just jams me! Wish I was retired!!! I'd be doing it 12 hours a day~!

Is there a country where I can retire @ the age of 30 ?
