ok took a second look at the betabeta patch....
in comparison to the last beta patch:
colours:
-the colours of the landscape did not improve
-the colours of the cockpit are worse
-the colour of the sea was better in previous beta
performance:
well i expected that we could see the faster rendering luthier mentioned with the new graphix engine.....on my rig its a big step backwards.
its not smooth at all anymore, at the settings i use to fly where i have normally 50-60fps over land.i dare to say not really playable.i didnt even measure fps with this patch as its apparent enough that its way worse than before.
ppitch of the E4:
well its good that one can sitch between automatic and manual pp.
-but the manual pp doesnt work like before.its much slower....it takes approximately 8-10 seconds for a whole circle on the gauge.so its again pretty useless
-besides it doesnt stop in-/decreasing when you stop hitting the button.it just keeps changing for some seconds until it comes to a stop
crosshair of the E4(and maybe other planes):
-its barely visible anymore when flying at sunny hours
landscape:
-suddenly i have no buildings anymore, with buildings amount on high
-strange shorelines appear in rivers
this beta is really a dissapointment.i know its a betabeta, but i was expecting an improvement to the beta and maybe some positive surprises.
(something like the sunlit borders of clouds luthier claimed to be ready two patches ago?)i was also expecting at least a slight increase in performance, as this new gfx system is supposed to be faster!?
i was expecting that the really good steps made with the beta would remain and that some other stuff would have beeing tweaked in the right direction.
instead everything went worse...
i go back to the beta patch and really hope that they are capable of improving the engine and the game, but this is like a bad joke
