So to clarify that point, if you look out your window now should it be worse than 1940?? The original comment said "this looks so much better, looks like im looking out of my window"

Umm :)

Playing Devils Advocate I know, and I'm assuming the writer was referring to the new haze change, but the main point was do not reflect on what we have 'now' as evidence for accuracy for a 1940s sim build. That mistake gets made all too often, eg. a true 1940 coastline anyone??

If your touting 'accuracy' as one of you goals you gota be real careful what to refer to as more accurate or 'better'. It's real easy to pick holes in many arguments re graphical representation of accuracy for times past (as I have done), it's better to compare with data or images than today's atmosphere.

Which I can 'hope' is what they used.

1920, zoom in to Folkestone and see Hawkinge Aerodrome to left of Hawkinge town:-

1940, Hawkinge Aerodrome not shown but its obvious where it is from the map above:-

Hi all

can anyone give me suggestions concerning the "new graphic engine" issue, announced by Luthier on the next patch:

I'll get COD delievered tommorrow and am currently considering, if I should wait with the game installation until the upcoming patch is into action??

-> just want to avoid that I install game before the next patch and then it gets messed up with the new engine settings after patching?? Im especially thinking about my ATI 6850 GPU here, which works quite nice, but gave me some setup challenge in the past on other sims..

If you want to see skies with less haze, perhaps come visit Australia :)

Actually, pollution in London was at its worst well before the 60's...
There were smog alerts in the 50's that killed thousands, because of coal used extensively in England. Birds in the air and fish in the Tames were mostly gone since the 19th century. Now with strict anti-coal burning laws, the birds and the fish are back.

So its quite possible that the haze was worse then. Even in the summer, plants used a lot of coal in this uber-industrial time and place. There were smokestacks then that are gone now.

Hey guys,

I've read through this topic and I cant find a recent update on the progress of any patch / fix for the issues the game is causing with some radeon cards. Like many others have reported, I have unplayable framerate stutter when flying over land or buildings, and my PC is reasonably high end.

Can anyone tell me when we can expect this problem to be patched?

Seems Odd considering your rig...

Not sure about crossfire working as it should..what settings are you using?

xfire does work but not out of the box so too speak .. ( there are posts about that )

i have 2x 4890 and get reasonable fps over land and even london with my settings , will be too slow if the gfx is maxed out for sure ..

my cpu is a AMD 1090T plus 8ghz of ram

so he should be fine imo

Thanks for the replies guys - I am using medium/high settings.

I dont think it is a setting issue though, I have played on lower settings and still encounter unpredictable and bad intermittent stutters. It seems fine in some situations and unplayable in others. I was hoping (and I think it may still be) related to the known bug where some radeon cards suffer horrible render lag in specific circumstances. If that is the case then hopefully its a problem which can be fixed.
