One step forward 2 steps back

must indicate if much of the code has been re written or overhauled to such an extent then it is actually 2 steps back and for good reason. if i were involved i think getting the system back to where it was previously is quite important and i think they have achieved that as far as i can tell given consumer reports.

it is where it goes from here on that matters, if the code is proved solid enough then incrementally we can or should maybe see it get better. thats my hope tbh. i presume it was so bad it did need re writing ? that is the story for the overhaul isnt it?

we need to indulge in some logical thinking here about the state the sim is in with a healthy does of understanding about starting from scratch ir near enough.

simply put, it may not be good but maybe they are where they should be given the re write. painfull yes, understandable yes, worth predicting outcome, not quite yet.

this is my nuisance self simply trying to apply some logic to it all. sorry if i offend anyone elses wizdom on the matter.

I Never ever had a CTD (Launcher Crash) with CLOD until that patch.... then after the Alpha/Beta patch, is was a ctd with every game start...

(there were a couple times I got to fly up to 20 minutes before CTD! wooo hooo (NOT).

needeless to say, it's impossible to play,,, I sent my dmp files and uninstalled the patch version...

I have no clue how he came up with some little .08 number of ctd,, because my was 99.9% ctd... (every time I played..).. I tried online and offline about 10x...

I thought about shaking a dead chicken, and looking into files and al the voodoo.. but I had enough..

Someome let a huge stinker out of the barn... how??? why???

Including FM changes and other "improvements" the patch was only about 200mb or so. Is this really all it takes to rewrite an entire graphics engine?
Sceptical minds might wonder if the total-rewrite story was true or not.
It would be interesting to use Kegetys extraction tool to compare the changes.

Seriously, who cares?

Well, me for one. What goes on under the hood interests me just as much as what happens when you hit the Fly button.

I'd thought 200Mb of compiled code would be quite alot when it excludes textures, sounds and 3D models. If your interested in what's happening under the hood, it'd be interesting to see if it's smaller or larger than the code it replaced.

At least it wasn't a 5Gig reinstall like DCS p-51 mustang!
