Title: Il-2 Cliffs of Dover
Post by: titanic3 on November 16, 2012, 08:42:50 AM
I know, the game had terrible bugs at release, but I'm getting rather bored of AH (again), and was wondering if the bugs are fixed by now? And if it's worth paying for.

Any other flight sims suggestions would be cool too.
I tried DCS:A10, with a QuadCore Q9550 and Radeon 6870, I can't even get it to go past 25-30 FPS on low settings. Wasted my money. :(
I enjoyed Rise of Flight, can run it on mix of high and med settings at 50-60fps but the fact that you can't save in singeplayer or respawn (don't really want to turn invulnerability on), makes a PITA to play.
Wings of Prey I enjoyed a lot as well, 130 hours on Steam but I'm looking for a more realistic sim than an arcade one right now.

I agree, and I think sushi is the best food ever. But I don't want to have to eat sushi for breakfast lunch and dinner either :).

Need something new and fun.

I tried it in online though your ammo replenishes by itself. What I mean is after you shot all your ammo 20 seonds later its back to full load.

well, il2 wrapped in any flavor isn't exactly a good choice for either "new" or "fun"...but hey, if it creams your twinkie, do it.

Il2 Cliffs of Dover is an excellent game now. However the learning curve is also like the cliffs of Dover, pretty damn vertical.

Here's a Spanish online squad running a convoy attack in 110C-7s:

The visuals in this game is superb.

A little lacking in variety, but damn fine.

Still needs a super computer to run it though.

What's your PC specs and how well does it run for you?

How is DCS:A10C? Anyone d/l'd, played it?
I have box that should handle it. (i7-2600 CPU@3.4 GHz, 8 GB ram, Win7 64 bit, ATI Radeon HD5670 1 Gig GDDR5 Ram)
Offline game play any good?

That GPU might not run it max I don't think. I have a Q9550 @2.83Ghz and a Radeon 6870 and I can't even get it to go past 30 FPS (very bad stutters at this FPS for me) on the lowest possible settings, with the exception of keeping my resolution at 1920x1080. I think the cause is because I have a 32 bit system but if that's the case, then this is the first game I've played to be affected by it.

As for game play, I played a few hours of it before getting tired of the stutters and low FPS. Let's just say you need a lot of patience and time to even get in the air and turn on the weapon systems. I managed to learn how to start the plane from ramp, take off, land, and turn on the weapon systems. That was pretty much it before I quit. I tried it again a few days ago and I forgot everything except for the startup procedure.

I just watched a few youtubs on it.
I'd need the following to be proficient at A10C:
No kids.
No job.
Good weed.

Pass.

Go up the first campaign mission... Hurricane Mk I.

Find an enemy.  Fire at it.

Enjoy your new found appreciation for the gunnery, tracer effects, and damage model in Aces High.

No need to thank me.

I'm looking for a more realistic sim than an arcade one right now.

The only thing more realistic that Cliffs of Dover has over AH are the look of the planes and terrain.  Flight model wise, AH has it beat.

It isn't that bad Rip! I just like flying around in DCS World blowing up all kinds of stuff and crashing when trying to land. It really is not any different than AH for me.

I'd say the flight models are different. I wouldn't presume to know which is more correct or realistic. For me AH is a more casual experience, while Cliffs of Dover is more of a "study sim".

See, I always liked the flight model in IL2 (havent tried cod)  much better than AH. I wished I could explain why but it felt the closest to real life. Those online campaigns, full realm no icon, no gps, no radar : the best virtual flying experience i ever had.
