Bit of a (short) rant

I'm not sure when I first started to play IL2 BoX.  I think something like 5 years ago? Maybe more?

 

I remember it literatly blowing my mind.  I played a BoS campaign solely flying an IL2, on realistic timeframe. 

 

Then I got VR. And while the game was *so* much more immersive, and my kit got better, I really did suffer from performance problems (sure this can be solved with money but I had an i9 w/ 64gb ram, a 3070ti, etc etc so should have been OK).  I got salty, bit rude on these forums on the delays to FC3 I think it was, and quit for a couple of years.

 

Decided to come back.  Fired up the game, same settings, same hardware, and comitted to doing a realistic timeframe campaign through every BoX theatre, in historical sequence.

 

And I'm 3 months in and want to say the graphics really are incredible.  I know they have not changed, but they really are.  And performance seems to have improved substantially.  No stuttering that I see.  Yes when you go to 8x it will really depend on how many AI is currently rendered, but who cares when the graffics be so good.

 

Anyway, that's it really.  What an absolutely incredible series.  I'm now 50% way through BoS again, but this time I'm going through theatres flying Axis.  Looking forward to the next several hundred hours of entertainment this game will provide.

 

Thanks developers.  It's a thankless job, but you did good.
