I am sure they did this to help frames... hope it is a temporary removal...
I think most who folks around the forum are extremely dissapointed with the " Shell" game the devs have used under the guise of optimization. The fact is if you have to omit features or turn them off to get better frame rates and smoother game play , this cannot be defined as improvement. If fact go back to the last " official " path and compare the cockpits. This most recent " beta"patch further washes out the coloring and reduced the 3D look of the entire cockpit. The spinning prop is cartoonish, in certian lighting you barely see thru it. In addition ,I should not be able to distinguish my wingmans " spinning" prop thru my canopy from 100 yard distance, any distance for that matter. When dust, fire, and/or smoke are present the frame rates drop further than the previously released beta. Using the original release as the bench mark, the net improvement is non existant, 18 months from the release.
