Patch Beta 2 - v15866 - October 5, 2011

[Dano]

Ok, performance wise I'm somewhere in the middle of a few patches back when I took a hit and prior to that, so not too bad.

Bug wise in the very limited time I've had to play I still have block outlines on effects (dirt thrown up from rounds hitting the earth) and there now appears to be grass all over the runways again.

New sounds are coming along very nicely, colours are colours, everyday in real life is different so I'm not getting into any arguments and trust Luthier and team to sort those

Seem to have somewhat more aliasing testures causing crawling now though

I might get the chance to play more over the weekend

Thank you Luther and team

Fair play Luthier for sorting out a hotfix and cheers. I probably went OTT on an earlier rant which I regret.....I know you are trying your best (noted) and it probably p*sses you off as much as others. We only whine because care, hehe.

I can live with the new cockpit colours, but please for the love of all that is holy (lol) do not make this landscape final, it is a step back from previous beta IMO, too garish in parts. That neon craziness is creeping in again. The previous landscape was getting close to nailing the English landscape.

Keep on keeping on, and good luck.

i love it

sounds are freakin great, the ground and cockpit colours look great to me, seems to be running quite smooth, thanks luthier and crew

Thanks for the hotfix Luthier. I'm going to spend tonight testing and see how it goes. Apart from the blue line horizon bug (which was fixed with the last official patch), I haven't noticed any real severe issues.

I noticed your comment regarding the cockpit colours. Its always going to be one of those personal preference things and no-one will ever be 100% happy with it. I'm not sure if its possible with Cliffs of Dover but there may be a solution.

DCS A-10C allows the user to pick different HDR lighting profiles in the menu which change the look of the game. The user can pick cold, normal or warm colours. If its not too much work perhaps you should consider making a few profiles available in the menu so people can pick the one they think looks best to them and their particular monitor.

Its always going to be one of those things that no-one can 100% agree on. I'm sure that even in your own development team everyone has a different opinion in how it should look. Just putting it out there as a possible solution to the never-ending argument about it.

Can anyone say if the AI radio system is working? Any consideration for the SP players? I've just got into ROF, what a wonderful sim. One day I am sure this will be just as good. Keep those updates coming, I will wait for the official patch I think.

I prefered the previous cockpit colours (judging by user screen shots), it's a shame to lose them to what you say will stay Luthier...

Check your anti-epilepsy, did it turn on by itself by any chance?

We don't see a severe performance hit ourselves on any of the hardware we are running it on so far.

I like the new cockpits colors
But please change the revi back to the old one , the new revi looks like a arcade gunsight on the axis planes .

Hmmmmm, never thought to check the AE box.... but when I rolled back to the previous beta the performance was back to being very good.

As there seems to be a difference in how this new beta runs for folk with similar systems I wil try a total uninstall of the game and try putting the new beta over a fresh, clean installation. (and check the AE filter box)

I'll post when this is done and let you know how it goes.
