I am making the point that my PC is not average. I updated components to some of the lastest and fastest just for the new IL2, and yet it is still running like a slideshow over busy terrain particularly at low altitude like Matrixi stated. 
The land objects don't even look that great because they flicker and pop up!
The land objects don't even look that great because they flicker and pop up!A lot of requests have been ignored actually, not because I am purposely trying to be a bastard, but a lot of requests are for engine sounds with completely different engines to what the cars in the game have. It makes it impossible without LFSTweak or CSR to create the different engine sound.
Also I am a bastard.

I see people barely reaching 30fps. It should be optimised better than that regardless of how demanding the game is, it's still buggy as hell. So many objects randomly pop up and flicker. It doesn't look good on land, it just looks really busy and buggy. Over water it runs much better. I can run it pretty much maxed out over water without too much problem, and the water does look beautiful. My computer is far from slow and it's struggling big time over land. At the moment I can run Battle of Britain 2 maxed out with the latest patch and graphical updates and it looks much better over land particularly and runs way smoother. CoD needs fixing mate.
1C released a post on their forum acknowledging the complaints themselves and said they are optimising the game a lot further. So even they are identifying problems. It's not all down to my PC being too slow, my PC is pretty up to date and still runs the game like a slideshow. They say that they will be optimising performance over terrain to get around double the fps possible at the moment over London. They are also enhancing multicore support which they say "easily" doubles the fps. If these things were done before release then there wouldn't be a problem. The game was released unfinished, saying the game is so visually intense that it will only work well on the most recently released hardware because it is a flight sim is a load of bollocks. If what 1C say is true, once they've made these tweaks the game should run smooth as silk on my system and on systems far worse than mine.

Hopefully the problems will get patched out but I can't believe they actually released the supposed "full version" of the game in the state that it is in. It needs a lot of work. Maxed out it looks beautiful, but it's like watching a ****ing slideshow. :sadbanana
Agree Coleus. It runs like turd. I just bought a Gainward GTX 460 GLH edition mainly for this and it still can only run it on medium settings while lagging horribly over land. The way objects on the land pop-up is horrible aswell. It plays like it's still deep in beta. Waste of 30 quid really, expected way way better.
I've now reported 2 demo users who gave themselves away. Reported the other demo user further up the page ages ago but nothing was done about it.
Could no longer resist. Shouldn't have subscribed to the thread! Pre-ordered and got Silent Hunter 3 for free with it. Not too shabby, can't wait!
Some people might not have known about it and it's for a very good cause. Why did you have to get sarcy about it?
He was only raising awareness.I am furious. I finally thought I'd be able to save a bit of money, and immediately I am tempted into making a purchase! Looks great. I really enjoyed the original Battle of Britain game and that was nowhere near as good as the IL2 series. Hopefully this will be as good as it looks!

All of these made me genuinely chuckle out loud when applying them to the picture!
Some really good ones from others too!This one though made me laugh the most after reading it and then looking back at the picture
Your turn mate
