BETA PATCH v1.06.17582 - May 05, 2012

[palker4]

Tried the patch to see the fixed G50. Quick mission against hurricanes made me realize how broken the AI is and that Single player is still pretty much unplayable due to AI godly physics and FM defying 1337 flying skillz. Cannot believe that i actually paid for this. See ya at the next patch and do not expect me to buy Battle of Moscow or anything else you may be planing before if this s**t is not fixed.

Super quick test, free flight over London:
Looking down in cockpit at the city
Before Patch= 24 FPS
After Patch = 35 FPS
I fly with clouds off anyway, so it seems an improvement, on my machine at least.

HTA,

checked with a track i made before the last patch.
I did first one run with the original game:

Avg./Max./Min. 26/42/9

Then i applied the patch and did several runs (cleared cache before):
1. 36/57/23
2. 32/52/17
3. 31/53/19
4. 31/54/20
5. 31/53/17
6. 31/54/19

So definitely faster and on my system it seemed smoother as well.
Interestingly the first run with a cleared cache folder was the fastest ....

8GB Ram
ATI 6950/2GB
Win 7/64

The skins of the aircraft have lost their beautiful faded texture, I cannot seem to recapture it with the weathering slider.......paint still chipped, but paint jobs themselves look like they just left the factory at Castle Bromwich or Fiat.
It is now all I can do to even catch a CR-42 in a Hurricane
Nice uptick in FPS but at the expense of clouds. Occasionally it seems I will lose my tracers?
I haven't really noticed the decrease in resolution of the pits, not sure why this is being reported. Driver issue?
Wingmen still recalcitrant when it comes to following orders.
Huge FPS drop when you damage a plane in front of you with your guns. I never noticed that before.
Very difficult much of the time to see through the new prop texture.
All in all, not sure there is alot to cheer about. It seems most of the things they wouldn't release the patch about a week ago are still here.
I think alot of people might find this a little confusing...............
Positive side:
AI very aggressive now in quick missions.
Shadows do not shimmer anymore.
Hurricane & Spit now overheat if you push them.
No crashes (never had them )
Nice bump in FPS (wasn't a problem on my rig before though)
Anyone tried taking off in the Blenheim yet?

Have you tried the modified AI in quick missions yet? It makes the AI a lot more realistic and you won't need to worry about the impossible maneuvering.

Guys I haven't been able to try it yet but one thing I notice is that many posters don't give their specs: Hardware including native resolution, OS, DX version, GPU manager settings and game settings. Thats really important if devs are going to assess and understand any problems.

Suggest you go back and edit your posts and add any missing specs.

Just saying its great or its naff doesn't mean anything unless you say what you are trying to run.

Thanks 1C for giving us something to spend the time, the discussions on the forum were getting a bit of nonsence...

Nice weekend (what is left of it)

Thanks B6 .
I tried the patch at verious settings then went to Max settings with Vsync & ssao off .Frame rates took a big leap up.

My FPS is horrible now. I set graphics to medium and turned off grass and set low on buildings and trees, which was not needed before, i used to play with most setting high. It was somewhat ok offline. When i tried online my FPS during take off and fight was simply unplayable. Then when i got hit and tried to bail out i got CTD (after having played for 10 mins maybe). Well back to ROF again. This looks like we are moving nowhere.
