Beta Patch – and we mean BETA!

[No601_Swallow]

In case it helps:

Intel Core 2 Quad (2.4 ghz)
Asus P5K mobo
4 Gb DDR2 ram
Radeon 5770 (1 Gb vram)
Windows 7 Pro 32 Bit

Patch installed fine, runs fine (1280 x 1024).

Noticeably smoother over land. Stutters much reduced. Textures seem to load faster (so fewer freezes when the mission starts). Buildings and trees on "Low", everything else on medium or high. Missions, mostly around Tangmere/Portsmouth/Isle of Wight, are with very few aircraft, though. (I have realistic expectations at this point.)

Not perfect yet, and FPS can't be much above 30 or so (haven't measured it, though), but noticeable increase in performance.

Thank you very much. A work of art just got even more gorgeous. (For me, at least).
