Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs Of Dover Retail Patch v 1.01.14550

Great patch!

The fps is even better now, and I really like the color tweak!

I get 68 fps average on the Black Death track with everything on high which is almost exactly as before the patch - but it feels more fluid anyway. Especially the part where all the bombs go off and the Hurricanes are ripped to pieces. Before it went down to 20-25 fps in that part but now it's running at 45 fps on the worst part of that sequence. My score:

Min, Max, Avg
21, 158, 68.205

A comment looking at you score above is that the Black Death track seems very dependent on CPU (as the rest of the game). With the same GPU (GTX580) on my old Core 2 Duo (E8400@3.3Ghz) rig I had this score (14413 patch though!):

Min, Max, Avg
15, 78, 37.120

It's more obvious that something good has been done flying the sight seeing mission over London. I get 70-80 fps a bit up and 50 while skimming the roofs. Hard to complain about that... Before the patch I had more in the 30-35 fps region when skimming the roofs from inside the cockpit. All on high.

It also feels like CEM is a bit more forgiving which I appreciate. You can overboost the Spit for quite a while before you perforate the cooler. Before it was a matter of a second or two. A lot of small details are also fixed like the bombs not bouncing on the Black Death track etc...
