I think macky makes an interesting point - the sim doesn't utilise high-end specs and yet without them things are a bit dodgy. In some respects that's inevitable, but I'd have thought 'options' should aleviate that somewhat.
40% of respondants have selected "all of the above....". That's pretty bad.
I gave Ubi both barrels - or should that be all 6 tubes? - in a post I called 'rant'. I've since been playing with a bunch of mods downloaded (just on that, we are sooo lucky to have so many patient and talented people working on mods for us!!). Even with them, I am finding it very disappointing. There are simply too many things wrong with it for me to find it enjoyable, so I've shelved it until the next patch or two and some 'ubermods' get done. Pretty poor for $100 if you ask me.....
FYI, here's my rig's specs:
Athlon 64 FX-62 Dual Core
Kingston 2Gb DDR2 667MHz PC5300 RAM
SB X-Fi Platinum
PCIe ATI RADEON X 1950 XTX, 512 Mb DDR4
Even with all that (i.e. everything maxed out) I don't find the sim very 'alive'.
I guess I'll have to 'wait and see' like everyone else, but I don't find it easy to accept shoddy product, no matter the justifications offered in this great site.
Cheers all
