Plus the map looks rubbish like that as well. I can play RoF smoothly and it looks great - towns actually look like towns, but here it all looks like toytown - square blocks of houses all over the place, nothing like London really. No church steeples, no smoke from factories, no urban looking landscape from a distance away at all - at 5k altitiude the urban terrain is only visible a few tens of miles away and beyond it looks all green even though you know London extends a lot further - looks very poor.
Hurricanes gun patches are not being broken after firing, unless you actually watch the planes fire at something - then they break. Otherwise it doesnt look like the planes have fired at all even though you know they have. This could be something to do with SSAO off as it happened with the unofficial mods too.
Despite what it says in the patch notes flying a Hurricane the compass still is showing incorrect headings at start of missions! How am I supposed to fly a plane that isnt set up before you get into it. You wouldnt have to set the compass in real life I am sure.
Hurricane went into cruise mode with CEM off after a few minuites from taking off as before - this really should have been addressed by now as this is a game killer for me. Means I cannot play the game until this is fixed as dogfights are impossible once the planes enter cruise mode.
Starting to get a bit fed up with this now to be honest. Dont expect to have to beta test to this sort of degree a game I have bought - I hoped it was going to be just bits and pieces of tinkering, but I have doubts now I will be able to play this game months from now. Hope its sorted soon.

Sorry that your experience has not been a good one, I do want to point out however that absolutely you need to set compass manually in real life. The compass in the hurricane works just fine and is accurate in detail to real life. The floating bit in the middle is the compass needle.. twist the outer ring so that the T mark aligns with North then read off the heading at the 12 O'clock position.. then set your direction indicator to that heading, bingo.
Nearly all modern prop aircraft require manual setting of the DI according to the compass, it is an essential part of the pre-start checklist. You check it against the compass every 15 minutes or so during flight making any adjustments required.
In CoD I have set one of the HOTAS POV switches to increase/decrease the direction indicator along with the compass. That makes it quite trivial to check and update. As long as you are within 5 degrees or so of the compass then you will be fine.
The alternative is essentially an arcade game.
