[Specs/how will it run?]

What are the specs for this game? Are they similar to TOW Caen? That runs great for me on all maxed out settings.

How will it run for me...

Windows 7 64 Bit System Professional

Core 2 Quad 3.00 ghz 12 MB catch

4 gb's RAM (will add another 4 GB's shortly to 8 GB's)

Nvidia 460 GFX 1 GB RAM

Which NVidia drivers are you using?

It sure doesn't run great for me, and I've same CPU, 8 gigs of RAM and a GTX 470 Super Overclocked Edition.

[Low fps rate of 10 FPS]

I wish the developers had stuck with OpenGL, it traditionally runs the Il-2 engine (on which this franchise is based) much, much faster than Direct3D.

Very old Nvidia drivers (pre-170 series or even earlier) may help; I just don't feel like doing the driver dance to see which one works!

[Type of renderer]

This could explain the terrible performance. IIRC this game uses a modified IL-2 engine, and Direct3D was always significantly slower than OpenGL in Il-2.
