The flap & undercarriage selector is making sounds now when you use it: In the Hurricane. Only thing that worries me is the missing cloud shadows, if those don't come back, all bets are off.

I could hear another aircraft canopy open next to me whilst sitting at the airfield (with engine off).

Very nice.

Horizon is less foggy, dials are clearer when in the pheriferal (they were slightly bleered in the last patch, smoother with less stutters and slight improvement in FPS. There was also some kind of carona in the sky which is now gone.

As many others have reported, launcher.exe crashes after hitting the ESC button are absolutely terrible.

The game is still unplayable, but now I'm actually looking forward to things for a change!

Try running in pseudo full screen.

Here are some srcshot from the new patch
 

dive into the sea,pay attention to the warter.and 'wave'

an other direction, when taking the scrshot I didnt pause the game. the wave stay there for a long time and looks all the same from any directions.

You may need to turn down your settings...a good idea to put your system in sig

No sounds, of Gear or flaps. no sounds of engine,
planes that crash into sea appear to be floating in mid air.
more than 15 planes or more cuase FPS to drop from 60 to 1.
API plugins, for high settings and original do not switch out.
have to run dotnetfix40, then run DX from redist to fix patch,
then run game in high setting in texture loads, exit reset texture loads to original to get the trees to work.
just some examples of what I see.

Having the same reduced fps when a large number if aircraft are present makes life a pain taking off at a busy airfield and attacking one.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between running in pseudo fullscreen rather than normal. What will I likely gain or lose by doing so before I muck around with my settings again?

Thanks:)
