ah and the sounds.....great!i love the way the lowering landing gear sounds now.

Man I have to stay here at work for a few more hours. What a drag.

I only had some few quick missions with the E-4 against some bombers, therefore cannot say very much about the changes.

What I can say is that it is great sounds with the 109 and the atmosphere in general!

And I have the impression that the AI gunners have become much more accurate - they shot my beautiful E-4 every time in pieces.

There is going to be a lot of crow eating going on for a while now.

Took the E4 out for a little spin, and....Whoa, man. Just...Whoa.

I actually got my better half breathing fire down my neck because of the sounds. They are simply AWESOME! FINALLY the 109 sounds like a 109. Actually got shot down twice and crashed once because I couldn't stop doing flybys

I also found that I definately liked the new colors etc. Also got a nice boost in performance, even with everything maxed out. Had some stuttering when I was down low in the trees, maneuvering heavily and panning around a lot, but nothing major.

The only issue I found was that for some reason, I've got "rainbows" (tearing etc) between some panel-lines and certain places in the E4's cockpit. Nothing too major.

Only somewhat annoyance was the static reflection in the instruments, and that only somewhat. Would love for them to be dynamic, or have the option to remove them. Probably something I'll get used to.

All in all: Applauds all around! Another good step towards becoming THE WWII-sim for years and years to come.

still not fixed the FFB still shaking even after the plane has crashed , its somewhat annoying .

not related to the patch but thought id mention it incase noone ever has

[Zappatime]

My first thoughts:
1 Sounds are wonderful in comparison to original ones

2 Lighting looks more natural, plus noticed more sun glare at dawn

3 More white wave crests

4 Old tracks appear to have complete sounds now (not just sound of your own aircraft)

5 No additional crew animations yet (we'll have to wait for the 'gazillion' animations gathering dust!)

6 Maybe slight fps hit but early days not sure on that.

Looking forward to more improvements in this vein, big thumbs up. I'm watching England match but I want to get back to COD!!!

Did anyone noticed bug in E4 canopy? Sidewindow opens wrong direction now, forward New sounds are fantastic, still need polishing of course but definitely way to go! New colours are great too. More testing later.
