Having better results...

[furbs]

A couple of tweaks and tonight ive had no crashes(so far) and much less stutters.

1. No idea if this helps but i saw in another post on Sim HQ that editing the conf.ini and switching "DepthBits =24" to "DepthBits =64" has helped reduce the stutters and CTD.

2. Turned trees to medium.

3. Turned grass off.

Now this is by no means perfect but it has at least allowed me to fly a few sorties until hopefully they can fix the problems, i just hope it doesn't take another 6 months.

Behave now Slips!

Furbs: Glad to hear it, hopefully the patching process will speed up a bit now, preferably less than 6 months this time, yes, quite so.

Well, like i say im not happy with much less eye candy...

Land textures seem reduced.
Plane textures lower.
Blurry cockpit dials.
No grass.
No medium or far clouds.
Plus other oddities that people have reported.
No bullets decals.
No flash effects.

I think thats where some are getting the FPS increase, reduced eye candy.

So not great...and i dont think they will be fixed any time soon but at least with these small tweaks its running ok.

Mines running a little better now.

I know it might seem a bit off putting but we shouldn't be too harsh as this not a finished patch. It is not even the beginning of a patch. But it is, perhaps, the end of a patch.

None of us are.. but bud.. keep reminding yourself.. This is a alpha/beta patch that the devs release with the sole purpose of getting feedback from the users so they can find and thus fix the bugs quicker! Mater of fact, I think the devs should have made this note a pop up that people had to click OK to to proceed!

All in all glad to hear your giving it a go and look forward to flying with you online one day! S!
