But seriously what the f*k have they done in regards to this patch?... they have fixed NOTHING that was stated and this is a retail patch..ive only used 1 beta patch as that was the most beneficial one for me so ive been waiting a long time for this patch to iron out some performance issues but for me the GUI and multiplayer experience were the important ones..(for now) FM/DM's etc can come later in patches as my game runs okay on max settings since ive UPGRADED my machine.

This patch has done none of the above..it has literely gave me another version number..i have yet to actually play the game so it better not be worse or unplayable now..

this whole thing is just taking the pi$$ now...I just cant actually believe they released a 'retail' patch that has done absolutely nothing for my game as far as what was important to me and my setup and from which was stated as 'now fixed'..

So u complain about the patch before u tried it?........ooooook.


2 things u can do:

1. Try it BEFORE u report buggs.

2. Wait a day, so everyone have tested it more than 5 min BEFORE reporting buggs based on other peoples problems.



Ex. Many reports decrease in fps. Maby they forgot that Luthier stated that real full screen mode takes more out of thire system than psudo full screen. They now enable it since it was fixed it, hence lower fps. (if his statement still holds true, that is). either way, not a "bugg".

Erm...no i posted in my 'own' thread stating that i downloaded it this morning before i went to work just so i could quickly try the new GUI setup (not) and the new mulitplayer fixes (not) one of which i thought they may have corrected the whole issue with having to move around the map with your cursor after selecting a colour waiting for the spawn point to show so i can select choose plane and play the dam game..

NONE of those things have been fixed and the last being quite common from what ive read, i was saying that i havent tried the gameplay yet as that didnt really bother me because my game was running okay anyway..

Like i said, give it more than 5 min. Some even reported that rebooting the pc a couple of times "fixed" issues after installing patch. Things of that nature, may sound stupid but sometimes letting the game "settle" fixes alot of eleged "buggs". Happend to me in many games. Give it a day of testing to run through your settinsg, graphical and controles and so on.

Just a tip.

This patch is another improvement for me. My system;

intel Core i7 950 @ 3.8Ghz
EX58-UD5 motherboard
6 Gig 1600 DDR3 Ram
ATI 5970
win 7 64 bit
Track Ir 4

I have only tried a handful of the quick missions. As before, flying over water is silky smooth but also now very smooth over land as well. (I have not tried over London yet however).

I get poor performance (low FPS (to the eye) and stutters) with the true full screen but Psuedo seems to be working very well now (as per the ATI card readme suggestion). The only downside in Pseudo is the tearing with track IR whether full sync is on or off, but its not so bad.

Hopefully further Crossfire optimization and or an ATI/AMD made crossfire profile will allow true fullscreen to work as intended in the near future.

I am still getting quite bad flickering in the clouds as others have reported however...very bad to be fair.

I am running all in game settings maxed out except building detail on medium, trees on high, textures down to high from original. SSAO off, V-sync and Aero off (in Pseudo mode). Anti Epilepsy off. Oh, and I also turned down building amount from unlimited to high. Reducing any of these options had very little, if any, noticeable effect for me in the previous beta patches.

I did get one crash to desktop after about five or so missions but my video card was running hot. I had forgotten to up the fan RPM so, touch wood, that will cure it for my next session after work tomorrow.

Overall I am quite happy with the game's performance on my rig now, with further improvements to come no doubt. In respect of performance (on my rig at least), this is how the game should have been released.

Keep up the good work Luthier et al. With further optimizations and the host of other fixes and improvements you are working on we seem to be well on the way now. Thanks for your continuing support.

very good work. Keep it up. CoD is very good, realistic and plyable now and will become the best flight sim ever due to your hard work and excellent patches.

For the next patch.
Is it possible to improve how trees fade on the horizon?. The shadows and trees close up are not bad but when looking further away trees look really horrible and very unrealistic.
Same thing for land textures, over sea the sim looks really nice but once on land at least over England textures at midday look bad.

Something I've noticed with this patch that wasn't in the beta is disappearing arrow markers - i.e. the red/blue 'arrows' that point to nearby aircraft. Turning towards them now, roughly half of them disappear (as if you'd brought the plane into view) with no aircraft present.

I've also seen what I think is enemy planes skipping large distances in front/behind me, which may be what's causing the arrows to 'glitch' (if the game suddenly realise the plane you're turning toward is actually now behind you!) - but I can't be sure.

Anyone else getting anything like this?

ok i have to excuse!i played a bit more,and actually i like the look with the new lightening system.
but the stutters and the prop pitch is annoying.
