Actually, I'd already had quite a few pints and increased my methane output when I posted the thread. Equally bad for the environment according to the wife.

I'm also aware of the vapidity of the topic, but my main areas of interest with flight sims are mission building, film making and online play although I'm rubbish at all three.
These aspects of the game all have their problems. For instance, the track editor doesn't work and is very buggy, some people complain of FRAPs probs, the multiplayer issues are well known, the FMB holds deep mysteries to many.

The Forum seems to be getting a bit boring with repetitive topics, so I thought I'd try and open something more light hearted. Maybe this didn't come across too well. Unfortunately it's already become the same as all the other threads with some people firmly in the 'think positive' camp and others in the 'refund' camp.

Personally I'm in the 'just a bit bored with the whole thing' camp, and it's not because I'm lazy Blackdog. I've watched the Black Death track roughly 50 times whilst optimising in-game and CCC settings for my system. I've set up FMB with the Minensuchboot and made the little clip I posted, but had to do that with FRAPS 'on the fly' because the track editor is bugged as hell.

Multiplayer is not worth mentioning here.

Ah well

Well I deserve to be a bit pissed with what I've got now, why? cuz the ati lines and GUI interface have gone and improved but my game play is worse..I.e the latest patch had made the game worse for me and that is a problem for me.

I'm glad for some of you the patches continue to make this game better for you, for me they dont

What problems do you currently have? I assume that you may be referring to MP issues, since your system is similar to mine and it's running better-than-ever for me (particularly with those blue lines gone!). I can't even suggest that it may be your flight stick, as I have one of those too (and I'm a biker too and ..... OK, this is getting a little weird )

Constant micro freezes which are 2-3 seconds long which are followed by sound cut off and general lower FPS, I had none of these before last patch apart from sound cut which was pretty much non existant.

As I'm a online player for the most part this situation isn't good for me.

My major concern is they keep reintroducing bugs after already fixing them so where does it end?

Does this only occur in MP? I can unfortunately not test this, as the fastest server I can find from the southern tip of darkest Africa has a ping of over 300, which I’m sure will introduce a whole lot of issues. I did notice in another of your posts that you run very different graphic settings to mine – if you like, I will PM you mine tonight when I get home and you can give them a try.

Thanks mate but the issues I have and alot of people are having is not due to gfx settings, it makes no difference to how my game looks, lowering that would just give me better FPS, I mean look at my Sig I 'should' be getting way more than 40-50fps anyway even if all my settings were maxed out.

My point in this thread is basically me getting worried that the plug will be pulled in one way or the other...yes ok you have a great modding community that could turn this into a great looking, great content filled game for SP & MP but it's the basics that are broke and it's those Core things that you need to work with...

Who knows the 'next' patch will prob be called a Beta and it may fix my issues but I guarantee it will break someone else's.

Never thought I'd say it, release the game to the modders already!

I wouldn’t suggest lowering your graphic quality, it’s just that I have found that certain settings do introduce stuttering without any gain in fidelity. The way the (SP) game runs for me I find I’m constantly choosing CloD over RoF when I have some free time to fly (currently playing the ‘Spitfires over Dunkirk’ campaign), and as you say, it should run well on your set-up too.

As a rule of thumb dutch after one has 6+ Beers one should never
A. make phone calls
B. make posts
C. and maybe the most important... don't let that alcohol induced Epiphany lead to to creep into the bedroom nudge the wife and try to land you bomber on here landing strip at 1 A.M this will lead to pilot death and burning wreckage

If she does not give you a good dressing down right then and there she will decide that you need to get up at 6 A.M while your trying to sleep off what feels like the 8th air force carpet bombing inside you skull
and then she will decide you need to spend the ENTIRE day in the garden with her under the hot sun were you will pray for death for the next 8 hours.

S!

Oh! Now I see where I have been going wrong all these years!
