Yup.. it's good stuff Alex if not a little frame hungry though not quite as bad as you'd expect. Alderney is only a tiddler and runs fine. The IoS used to run a bit jerky on my Q6600 pc but runs fine on the E8400. Guernsey is great but punishes the 8400 a bit (this is mainly the airport.. the rest of the island is ok). Shawbury Fields overwhelms the 8400 system (OOM's) and I've not yet tried the IoM. I'll get it when it comes out on DVD though I expect it to run in a similar fashion to Gue ;) A lot of the fun with them is having the settings turned up so you see all that lovely detail but you need a fair system.. which I don't have :lol:

I find Shawbury to be a bit easier on the frames than Guernsey. There's something at Guernsey airport that really pulls the fps down.

Indeed mate. Shawbury on my setup runs better than Gue too.. right up to the point the ground tiles start disappearing where at this point, there's no return.. the OOM box follows soon after :lol:
When fiddling with the QX pc, I had GUE running well before I added the airport. As you say.. there's something there that drags the frames down big time *-)
