You know, as a developer, it occurs to me that there should be a standard track posted that EVERYBODY uses so we can compare results (regression testing) - for instance something with desert, water, bad weather.. seems to be where all the issues pop up.... would be a lot easier than chasing all these different tracks and screen shots....

no probleme here running on a crossfire of hd3870 under vista 64 with catalyst 8.3.

it works perfect in 4.8m or beta 4.9

AAx4 and aniso x8

You seem to be forgetting something.

If you release an open beta and follow that with a bunch of other beta files every other day while at the same time expecting people who know nothing at all about computers, archives, files, game structure etc etc. etc. to submit detailed bug reports (and those people are included because of the open beta idea I think), you would do better to release any newer beta with it's own installer. This installer should make a backup of files that get replaced and an easy way for people to switch back. It should also check the integrity of the download.

It would be nice if the installer had a report feature collecting the needed system data and integrating it into a bug report. That would give a standard which would be easier to handle for the dev. team.

Doing otherwise is inviting disaster imho.

Just an observation.

I do appreciate all the work going into this.

I agree with MaX. It would be more work for the dev team, but they would probably get a lot more feedback.

One more thing I've noticed with all these new dll's. None of them seem to work well for everyone. Most likely, it is near impossible to get one set that works perfectly with all the different hardware and software combinations there are amongst the IL-2 community.

Personally, I keep copies of all the dll's and, if technically possible, I'll just use the set that works best on my computer.

I've got a decent rig AMD XP2800+ Nvidia 7600GS 512mb 1.5 Gb Ram.
I have tried the last 2 Dll's and it just gets better each time. I'm not running the 4.09beta and not sure what if any effect the new config file did for me but I'm seeing the best framerates I have ever had. If Oleg and Co are trying to tie up loose ends so that this sim still has life after SOW than he's definately going above and beyond, Good Work Mates!

You guys can agree or disagree... i am delivery boy... And please, don`t underestimate this community. Almost Everyone here knows, what conf.ini is and how to take screeshots or record ntrk file. Nobody is asking for detailed bug reports, etc. Three simple things, that`s all. Unless you are questioning peoples ability to sent e-mail with those 3 items too. I am kind of confused with such reaction...but oh well, nothing new.

@Spinetti - one for all ntrk files will not work in this scenario. Then more areas covered by testing, then better. Set of ntrk files, maybe... one will not do the justice with all sets of different hardware out there, different drivers, OS`s etc.

Just tried these and they work perfectly under any weather condition. 8800GT with 169.something drivers. Good stuff!

Hmm testing some new coop missions tonight and a number of different graphical errors showed up, I will try to put something together and send it off to 1C.

Ill try max setting as well and see if that clears it up. Don't get me wrong it looks awesome, just every now and then heaps of the panels disappear off a shot up plane, or sides of buildings disappear as you drive close to them, had an interesting effect on reflection on a lake as well like an inverted mirror image? And the funny mountain 'shadows'.

Will email off a detailed report sometime this week.

I'm running 2 8800gt.In the setup I can't seem to find these cards or am I just blind?

I don't
