You cannot force vsync on, it's not working with this game, it's off.

There is hope that real "Full screen" maybe works better.

i'll try D3Doverrider, it's best vsync forcing program because it supports Force Triple buffering also.

This may havebeen reported, I have a lot to do today and no time to read all 23 pages - a good sign that many are testing

Multiplayer - Client
The beta patch has taken away those naked text boxes for Spawn Aircraft group and replaced them with properly tailored menu items although they do the same job.
You no longer have 'Change your plane' on the multiplayer pick-list. A map now appears on which, having chosen your side, you click on one of the airfields that the mission creator has populated with a/c and then pick from what's available.

One problem is there is nothing to tell you which fields they are unless its somehow in the brief (which I haven't tried) but they should at least be highlighted, say Red or Blue like they were in IL-2.
Also I didn't get a list of existing Flights already created by the mission or new ones created by others in the game, it seemed I could only create a new Flight but I could be missing something.

FPS
Its hard for me to say on this as I had pretty good FPS before although much lower over London. My impression is that it is a little smoother (or I am just getting used to it?) but my low level FPS did seem to be a little improved over London but not by much. I'm sorry I can't be more objective.

I had TrackIR problems originally where the TIR seemed to be unpredictable and repositioned my head very often, especially left and right. It still does it but either its not so much or I am just getting used to it. It is a pain though and if there's anything that can be done that would be great. I am constantly pressing my "Centre TrackIR" button. I get a similar but far less effect in IL-2 (I know thats a mod but its also a reference). Worst of all is the vertical range I get with TIR. It seems I can only look up and down by a limited amount. If I centre TIR on my gunsight I can move my view quite a way upwards but only down to the bottom of the instrument panel. If I centre it on the instrument panel I can then look down at the lower controls but I can't look much above the front canopy frame. I don't think it's a TIR problem as the TIR scale/grid view continues to move beyond the cockpit range.

Be sure you don't have pressed Shift+F1 then TIR movement is limited.

As a server i got alot of error boxes appearing saying things like "wrong insignia on group" or somthing like that. there were several different messages. I think the people on the server trying to change stuff make them appear but i have no idea. this happend when i was just flying around so i didn't cause them myself as far as i know.

Nope, it's in the normal FOVs. Shift+1 limits sideviews to my "shoulders" in the a/c which I think is a bit tight but I don't use anyway as the FOV90 is all I need.

You have to set the head translaton in x y and z, very low in trackir software, like 1 or less, and notice that your head in game is leaning due to pilot body compensating when the planes banks, that can confuse you, im starting to be used to contrarrest with my body leaning in the oposite side , like in a bicicle.The up down movement is very limited like in the most of the game , due that you are stucked into a chair and its supposed that you can raised or down too much.

Could be 'TrueView', if it's on try disable it in your Trackir profile.

I see that the flaps and landing gear has been fixed, thanks.

A fine GAME nearly a simulation.
