Maybe they are? :) The Swedish air force bought a bunch of P-51:s during the last months of the war as a stop gap solution until Saab had gotten own production up and running (and then some more just after the war). The first thing they did after they got them was to remove the ash trays that where fitted in the cockpits ;)

Talking anecdotes I also remember reading that one of the american ferry pilots buzzed a bridge in central Stockholm and got reprimanded afterwards for it... As the war was still not over I guess he thought the ferry mission to Sweden instead of going to Berlin did not get his adrenaline pump going ;)

Crazy thought smoking in a cockpit with tons of gasoline behind you...

When switching the gear switch to neutral the same sound occurs as when extending the gear.
Happened to me on Bf110 and Bf109, followed by a belly landing because i trusted the sound and didn't look at the lights :D.

Joined a multiplayer server with 4 players. Game stopped working after I had selected a plane (Fiat G-50) and tried to go to loadout screen.

I think it's too difficult to see which multiplayer airbases have flyable planes. IMO this should be easier and faster to see . Now requires LOTS of map scrolling/zooming. In IL2 it was very easy to see this.

Since i have been playiung quite some hours now i muzst say the amount of crashes with this patchj reached an absolutely unacceptable frequency. Makes it almost as pointless to fly on a full real channnelmap server as the soundbug did pre tree off solution. Well i hope that gets fixed with the final version.

Not sure if this is a bug or my graphics drivers, but I never saw it before this patch:Red screen with black around the instruments is when wounded:

Red gauges with canopy off:

If you mean game crashing or CTD's, then yes, pre-patch my game would never crash now I'm crashing or locking up every 20mins or so. :confused:

Freezeup after 1.5 hrs on ATAG server with 4 to 5 intermittent freezes over about 30 seconds total time, restored to about 1 minute normal working then compete freeze up followed by Launcher has stopped working...
I do have Forest on High though. I'll try turning it off.

Also occasional micro freezes throughout the 1.5 hours but that could be the server (30-40 players).

Haze/Sun glare definitely overdone. Can't see a thing about 30+ degrees either side of sun even if I look down into cockpit when facing the sun and its above the top of monitor.

Excellent general improvement on the sounds though.

Massive FPS loss when in the clouds. With the previous patch there was an FPS drop as well, but not nearly as severe. Overall, the average FPS dropped with this beta patch. Zooming in on any land based location decimates FPS. Very bad for aiming.

Game will not start
 

Purchase the game on Sunday and it ran fine (really enjoyed it). Installed the Beta patch and the game will not start. It gets to the loading crosshairs and hangs. I am able to reverse via steam and the old version runs fine.

I tried all the tips on the forums and no luck.
