WOW!... 1C has delivered!!!
 

Better, much better, finally I see something of real value here! graphical bugs in 109 sorted, better fps, less stutter . I have a new build 3930k oc at 4,75 GHz with a 680 GTX , I get better performance that on my old I920 with a 480GTX...hope they keep on this "road":) for the future as well! PS: and pls fix those flickering shadows!!!:(

Im not sure but flickering shadows can have something to do with your Texture Filtering settings in your graphics card control panel.


I know IL2 Sturmovik had them to but cant remember what i did to get rid of them. Im not sure on this either but i seem to recall it was a NVidia card thing much like the rings on the water thingy in Il2.

Still lags like hell for me with dust ect, this really needs looking at.

You're not alone there.

Isn't this kind of thing the reason why they told us to turn effects down to medium?
I'm about to try this out after probs with flak bursts on 'very high' so I'll edit in a few minutes.

I agree it is a massive drop in fps with smoke effects. I do not think is an easy one to fix , other sims suffer from this one also!

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't recall it being so bad early on and there are plenty of other games out there that do not suffer in such an extreme way, it really isn't something that should cause such an issue.

Smoke particles has been a pain in the arse in every sim, I remember when we were working on the plutonium effects patch for 1946, smokes particles was terrible problem to get the right balance between quality and performance

S!

Just imagine North Africa with the tremendous dust clouds coming on take-off..:rolleyes:

Effects to medium made a big difference, also turning buildings detail down a bit for flying low over towns, such as Ramsgate after takeoff.

So everything on very high, except effects and building detail on medium, no ssao or aa, but the CSAA in nvidia smoothing the jaggies and results are fine.

See sig for pc spec.
