Several reports say X-fire is improved in this patch.

Thanks for the patch guys :D

Hello all!
My short video:

Great video alexmdv. It says more than thousand words....:(

It's just like it's supposed to be. At low RPM you only get the idling sound of the engine. When you advance the throttle the supercharger also picks up RPM and that is a turbine of sorts, so you get that high pitched whine sound. As your speed increases you also reach a point where the sound of the propeller and airflow partially obscures the engine sound, but that is not part of your video because it happens at somewhat high speeds (have a nice dive until you reach 500-600km/h or so and you'll hear it ;-) )

I think that they got the 109 sound spot on, the DB601 engine is well known for its supercharger whine.

In other words, it might take you some time getting used to it but there's nothing wrong with your installation or sound card. ;-)

So much haze that the sky is a little bit dirty.

Can I get some clarification from anyone who flies regularly?

To me the beta colours seem to be off, it looks too washed out. In alexmdv's video I think the non beta colours are more realistic.

Thank you very much for this betapatch!
I didn t install the patch and I m not playing this game by now, I m playing IL2 1946 and still having a lot of fun with it. I m reading this forum here since it was oppenend years ago and was following development since Storm of war was first announced and my expectations of this game were very high, like many people here. When CoD was released i bought it and was very dissapointed and put it away (didn t play it since then).
Today i looked a video of the new patch and I m very exited, the colours look very nice and the sound is emazing, I m totaly surprised! Bravo bravo bravo devteam, applause!! I can clearly see where this game is going. Just emagine this game in one year... I think its gonna be a lot of fun and immersive, and not to think the years to come. I can understand that some people here are pist off, because the game was/is not in that shape it should be as it was released and they have the right to speak out their unhappiness, but i have to say that some people will never be satisfied, as it is obviously here in this and other forums. Me for my part will give this game time to mature, because I can see it is going in the right direction, in my opinion. Just my 2 cents. Have fun with the new patch people ;-)

Well that's strange then, what do you think would be causing me to suddenly drop frames to the low single digits?

Thank you Alex, great work it helps a lot to see the difference!



I must admit, I feel like banging my head on the wall when I realise that we sacrificed the fantastic ground graphics in order to have the hazy ones... but anyway.
