Not that I'm defending 1c for releasing half a product, but if pressing the M key is "annoying" I now know why you're always complaining. In this case you might want to visit a psychiatrist, but please let them attempt fix the important parts of this game!

I'm not usually complaining, i have enjoyed the game about 70 hours.

I see, however even a lazy bum like me isn't too bothered by that.

The one thing that might be considered though is to not actually get rid of the mirror's mounting but only getting rid of the image. I do find it disturbing to look at the external model and then seeing no mirror inside the cockpit a second later. However, that's something for another thread, sorry for the OT.

I did not install any of the beta patches, so this is a straight up comparison between patch 1.00.1401 and this one.

General settings: 1900x1080, 2xAA, V-sync off, full screen mode on.

Positives

*Flying solo, the performance flying over London is GREATLY improved for me. Before, at rooftop level, I was getting between 12-15 fps with a fair amount of stutter.
Now, it's closer to 18-30 fps, with basically zero stutter. The stutter is so rare that it's basically gone. It is much smoother overall.
This is much better.
Over Caen, it is much the same...better fps and stutter almost nil.

*The 2D map is an improvement over the old one.

*The Hurricane now has a mirror.

Negatives

*AA is still only half working in my case. it doesn't matter if it's 2x or 8x, there are still jaggies present, and there is no noticeable difference between 2x and 8x.

*Comms not working. (Not sure if it was supposed to be with this patch)

*Game performance over industrial areas is still very poor.

Black Death Track (All settings on 'high' for uniformity)

Patch 1.00.1401

Min=1 Avg=32 Max=88

Now

Min=0 Avg=26 Max=71

This test was inconclusive as the track kept playing in widescreen mode with the new patch. Not sure why.

Overall imppressions

Performance over cities is much better...stutter is much reduced and fps is sometimes double in my case. THANK YOU.
With a decent quad core I'm sure performance will be better still...

The lack of proper AA is something of a sore point. I will try force AA through the drivers and see if it works.

Comms...please gentlemen, this is really something we need urgently.

Thank you for the patch...I still can't believe the huge difference flying over London.

Since patching is controlled in Steam: not very likely. I'd expect a hotfix sooner than a rollback.
