All all these screens from an unmodded game? well outside the obvious pink JU-88 and various skins and photoeffects.
Pretty well all look to be unmodded to me- though some are from earlier versions , which had alot of very cool stuff regarding lighting. These have been toned down/ removed in later patches to increase fps/ enable users of less powerful rigs to run it.
What does it take to run it at those levels of detail? How broken is the game really? are the patches working on correcting the problem?
Yes it needs a pretty powerful rig, a good gpu with 2gb and a decent cpu, preferably as fast as possible, is a good start if you want to turn on all the graphic options, even then you may struggle in certain situations. Turning down a few options can make things very playable at little graphical loss.
I would not recommend it to anyone with a laptop.
Screen resolution can be a big factor also- don't expect to run 3 screens without a supercomputer.
What rig have you got?
Amy specific worries feel free to pm me
How broken is subjective- there are alot of things that could be alot better, some can be worked around.
If you can put aside any preconceptions that it'll work EXACTLY like IL2 (or any other sim) it can be enjoyable- I think this is one of the biggest problems some users have IMHO
All work by the dev team is over, period. (though it remains to be seen if anything significant happens with modding
)
At the end of the day you could have a glimpse at Oleg's vision of what might have been for ~ the price of a pint
Of course, I'm totally biased
