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.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

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.

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.
