I have to say that the sun looks amazing. Maybe the best I've seen in a game. I also noticed that the game ran a lot smoother than before. I can only speculate that the new engine utilizes the graphics card more efficiently (I only have a GF 660 but anyway, the difference was very noticeble).

Hm, downloaded the beta with 50 MB/s, but the updater only runs 2.8 MB/s. Still a while left. It's going to be a long night... :D

I think they should charge good for the NTTR map. It's in all our interest that ED is profitable if we want them to keep up this work. You have to remember that flight sims are niche products, it's not Call of Duty selling millions of copies. I think they should charge $50 for NTTR. It's nothing in relation to the hours of enjoyment that we will get from it.

Thanks for the replies guys. Looks like the system has its weaknesses, so I'll be trying to get used to manual mode from now on. :thumbup:

Hi! New member here and I've logged about 40 hrs and just started doing missions. One thing I'm just not getting is the counter measure system. The semi mode is supposed to choose the right program depending on the threat type but it doesn't seem to work. For example, I've flown the Georgian Hammer mission 1.2 (blowing up the bridge) and I've set "immortal" in the game options just to be able to test this. The program chosen is initially "A" and when ML starts to flash and the SA-18s are firing the program remains in "A". The first two missiles were fired and hit me without the program switching, and it was not until the third SA-18 launched that the program switched to "M". Is this normal or is it a bug? If it's normal then I'd better learn how to use manual mode efficiently...
