First impression:

New colour is better, especially land, sea, and shore line. Looks more like Europe now.

Great engine sounds, absolutely great. Better visible tracers, bullet impact, smoke and fire.

Better AI no more crashes during landing. AI now fly to their home base and land!

This patch is amazing so far, feel like a new game on many levels, for steams user who can't start up the game after putting the beta patch files in their folders, just don't use your steam shortcuts or desktop one, go directly in the CoD folder and use the game launcher.

thankyou

Firstly, thanks for keep working in the sim, I'm sure it will get better and better.
About the beta patch:
- new engine sounds are great, so are the guns;
- in the cockpit, we now have sounds for the magnetos, but lost sounds for fuel cock and lights, haven't tested more in this matter;
- when starting engine, I'm getting the dust from the ground coming through the plane structure to inside the cockpit, in my rudder pedals (I've seen this only in the hurricane);
- the colors need more adjustmens, the other tread about this topic has some nice critics. http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...087#post330087
- when looking at the sun, it doesn't seem to shine, but puts a white fade all over the screen, this looks terrible;
- the new shorelines are a great improvement!
I'm new to the sim comunity and just grateful to have this game, any more work the dev team is doing is much welcome. Thanks guys, keep it up.

Very excited to try this when I get home however reports of an FPS hit are not to my liking especially when I assumed the color algarithm changes were due to performance issues so I was expecting a huge increase in optimization. It's beta though so maybe it will improve.

Hoping for the best..

i only just downloaded, installed and fired up an me109 for 5 min...

ITS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in love all over again!

Why, is it worse for you in fps or can you not get it to work?

I'm down the pub now, but I've left the patch seeding, tried to install according to Blackdogs instructions but it hasn't 'taken', any ideas why?
