Thanks for this update Ilya and a special thanks to the Team behind you.
I am very happy that you going to use '4 cores' for splitting texture out in the next update.

I have been getting into the FMB more and more and have produced some excellent trial missions using the object file. I am very impressed with the effort that has gone into the existing ground objects, particularly 'Foo'bars' steam engines, artillery pieces etc..

Upgrading my system to Windows 7 64 bit has made a big difference, so looking forward to the sim using additional cores. I still have to get 'ATI Catylist' running properly, so any thoughts on this from members, would be appreciated.

I am starting to get a 'good handle' on the Hurricane, Spitfire and Messerschmitt, flying with 'working cockpit's'. I have 'set-up' some excellent 'dogfight' mission scenario's which are challenging to fly. (will try and post some soon) Also enjoying using the AI aircraft effectively in some of the missions. I particularly like the Dorniers.

I hope you can get the 'full weather package' working soon?

How much of a difference? And please post your system specs. Thank you.

How about to use more RAM?It will lead to more performance too ?

SacaSoh my system specs now are:

System specs.
Operating system: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Motherboard: Gigabyte P35-DS4
Processor: Intel (R) Core (Tm) 2 Extreme CPU Q6850 @ 3.00ghz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Pagefile: 1893MB used, 14485MB available
Direct X version: Direct X 11
Display: Benq 1920x1200 (32bit) (59hz)
Video card: ATI Radeon HD 4870x2
Driver version: 8.831.2.0
Memory: 1768MB

I seem to be getting smoother map graphics in the FMB and better aircraft handling through all flight spectrum. Cockpit graphics are smoother. I still have to turn-down many land map features or I start to get 'stuttering'. Not sure what my FPS is now - will start doing some tests. Using '4 cores' in the new patch should make a difference.

I can't get my ATI Catylist graphic control center to work properly in Widows 7 and there are some graphic issues that I need changing? I would appreciate some thoughts on this.

System specs are wrong - you are running DX10 not DX11, the 5k and 6k AMD/ATI range is DX11, previous cards are DX10.1 (for 4k series) or below. Despite that, 10.1 uses the Dx11is pipeline/processes vs dx10/9

[dflion]

Thanks Heiocon, I ran Microsoft's 'dxdiag' and my system specs are showing DX11 which loaded with Windows 7 64bit. I will have another look at this. I have now got my 'Catalyst Control Centre' working.

AMD AthlonII x3 here too. Usually 3 cores is a sweetspot for gaming since very few games utilizes all 4 cores in a x4 setup. But I'm confident they'll not forget about us 3-legged ones

Tic-tock...! what time will be today?
