Hmmm the first beta patch I won't bother with it seems. Starting to lose interest fast now.

I'm pretty sure this is a build/packaging problem. There is probably some small explosion sound file or graphic effect that all the devs and testers have on their rigs that is missing in the beta patch we got... I guess they will find that fast. I get dump files at least and will send them to Ilya.

For me at least, the crash only occurs if you crash into the ground, not explode in mid-air. Since it seems to be consistently reproducible for everyone, I suspect it's a problem they can track down and fix within hours rather than days.

Also I haven't tried a 109, since I barely know how to fly one, but I think whatever they have done to the cockpit graphics looks amazing in the spits and hurricanes.

Jezz Tree..

What part of Luthier saying..

We are however concerned about stability and performance on various hardware. If you still experience reduced FPS, we want to know your system specs, including graphic driver version and in-game graphic settings

Did you NOT understand?

Yeah sure I understand, ive been giving this information for the last 8 months.

[ACE-OF-ACES]

And folks wonder why developers don't like to put out beta patches to the general public.. even though the general public begs them to put them out

This thread thus far is a perfect example

Shots for compare, from the original stock game, from beta1 and from beta 2.
Always talking only about cockpit colors, for me original were the far better of three. Beta2 have lost all midtones with over contrast and too much saturated colors.
Original one were more contrasted than beta1 without lost all midtones and details.

Original:


Beta1:


Beta2:

Cockpit colours original, landscape colours as last beta patch.

New beta patch is just awful.
