Quick Friday Update - Next Patch Info

[Zappatime]

I've tried this new 024 quick mission several times now, and on every run the Italian bomber pairs 'stick' in mid flight when theyre over the land area, props still turning, but just stick at that altitude and not moving, they can get damaged by gun fire/flak/collisions but remain fixed in mid air. It also happened with a couple of Stukas too on one of the runs; everything else carries on as normal

Anybody else had this?

I'm getting awful graphical glitches related to what seems to be LOD Models..
When selecting my Aircraft skin, etc, I see a low-res model..

When I'm flying the hurricane (rotol) It's like a low res LOD model is occupying the same space in the cockpit since there's two sticks, one which is super low res and low poly and the regular one..

Vsync is working but only if forced in nvidia control panel and with aero off......I set AA in nvidia CP to 2X and in game - to off.....noticed fps drop (10-15fps; from 65 avg-to 60 avg)) but its smoother now. Finaly. Still I noticed more fps drops in mission with 6 planes in dogfight.....it dropped to 35 fps avg....

Is the AI at least back to initial status? After the last official patch the AI is just a plain pain in the a** ...

It was better before I believe. As it is now it is fun killer turning like a gyro having rocket engines instead of piston engines and stuff.

Now my game won't launch. I get the loading symbol and then the launcher stops responding.

Same but I think its steam, rebooted my pc and now it is "updating steam platform" and has been for last 30 mins, up to 48%.

Nope! In the dogfights I tried to have today after the new patch the AI was still pulling off insane rolls and other impossible maneuvers. It doesn't look like they touched the AI in this patch.

TBH, I'm more concerned with all my performance issues coming back right now than anything else. The game is just as slow as it was at launch now. Hopefully they fix it before releasing it upon the world.

Thanks Luthier! Loving the Patch as always -

Couple of weird bugs though

- when i click fly, game disappears back to desktop, where i cant even see that clod is running on the task bar, just for 1 second, then game returns again and i'm in the cockpit, likewise when flying if i press escape, i go back to desktop briefly before returning to the game menu.

- Game now wont let me alt-tab out to desktop properly, it seems to stay running as well as what i alt tab to! -ie right now as im typing this post i can see my track IR is still working and im still technically in game - ie everytime i press the "p" button here in the browser to type this, my game unpauses! - weird Im in two programs at once! All my keystrokes are still working in game!

- New Player briefing screen is great before the missions - well done! The player plane loadout is great also, it sadly doesnt work though, whatever you enter doesnt register and you get the default settings for that mission anyway - great start though

- Stutters over land seem to have improved again which is brilliant!

- Multiplayer lobby - still no way to see who's on what team before you select a side.

Specs -

i5 2500 SandyBridge - 8GB RAM
ATI 4870
1920x200 @60Hz
Full Screen
TRACK IR 5

Settings pretty much on medium, no SSAO, no Vsync, no AA

The game still does not use more than 25% of the CPU, which I believe is the main hinderance to performance.

My perfromance is also cut into half with the new beta patch. The perfromance increase by the last offical patch is totally gone.
