I've installed last night - no problems whatsoever for now (did a couple of quick missions).

Fingers crossed that it stays that way.

i'm using the 10.7 final... i didn't liked the beta... too many stutters and less fps

But can you use Vertex Arrays without the Blue Hue coming into the gunfire yet?

Cheers, MP

Yes you can :)

I haven't tried switching Catalyst AI back on yet, but I've certainly been able to change my conf settings around to get the maximum performance and candy! I'm using a 4890 - but two of my pals with 5870s are reporting that blocky text, blue hues, and prop flicker are a thing of the past too.

I just put the AI back on. I'll let you know how that goes....

S!

The power of the community should never be underestimated ;) Good to hear all is good now, at last! Long due but better late than never :D Happy hunting guys!

Hello all

With 10.7 final, found IQ+FPS sweet spot for me:
1920x1200
AAx6 Wide tent
AFX16
AI=Advanced
Mipmap=Max
AA MOD=Super sample
V.Sync=On
Triple buffer=On

No artiffects and frames do not drop under 60 in bad weather above waves:grin:

Cheers

Update:

Changed Catalyst AI to disabled and got 1 FPS up in MIN FPS and slightly improved AVG
(in older drivers,using cat AI was must if i wanted to have FSAA).

Now B.D result looks like this:


Frames Time (ms) Min-- Max-- Avg
8677-- 150000---- 33----64---57.847

Sorry but an update:

B.D results are not everything:) playing some bad weather QMB missions,I noticed smoe frame drops above water, returend to CAT AI=Advanced and it is good :)

Cheers

why do you use V.Sync=On ?? your max FPS will be locked at what your refresh rate is set

Dude, anyone who flies with TrackIR uses Vsync on, so it's the most relevant measure of performance.

Correct:)

I can confirm here too !
with a 5770, no more blocky text (as in 10.5)
no more blue reflects with VertexArrays on
no more flickering of the glass in some cockpits ! (had that with 10.5)

so thats a gret job from ATI (even if it took time ! :-P)

I am glad to see these results from you guys. I have been working with an ATI driver engineer to get these problems corrected and it looks like all the old stuff is good now.

I have seen a couple small things that may have been created from the fixes of the old stuff. But they are pretty minor.

Please be sure to keep reporting new stuff to the Catalyst feedback form.

I will likely start another thread in the near future to point out some stuff and see if we can get things fine tuned.

Big thanks to Terry Makedon and his ATI team for getting these problems resolved. This is just impressive to me that they would care enough about a 10 year old game and it's customers to get this resolved.

Nice...i've been holding off on upgrading my drivers for a long time. I have up to date versions on my Win7 drive (i run a dual HDD/dual-boot machine) but my XP driver is horribly outdated.

Seems i can finally upgrade to 10.7 without worries :grin:
