No problems. Hurricane performs better. Improved FPS. And more ground detail.

Best Regards,

The last more ground detail I am not happy with the little bubble problem the fact that trees do appear and disappear after your plane makes England look like the south plains of the Soviet Union. But without trees. I like to fly at low level where all fights ends and by the way all flight begins and ends!

Look at this picture and judge by yourself;

but before the last patch;

Well, what do you expect for 50€ giving 500 hours of gameplay, right?

Blacksix I am making speed and climb tests and scripting out results including these:
part.ParameterTypes.I_EngineBoostPress
and
part.ParameterTypes.I_EngineManPress

I get different values for these in any set of readings which makes it difficult to analyse the results.

For example in the Hurricane Mk I 100 octane I can get I_EngineBoostPress of 8.1 while while I_EngineManPress reads 5.4 (same as cockpit gauge) at 3000rpm, also 8.8 and 6.3 at 2650 rpm.

Can you please ask Luthier to explain these differences and which parameter we should be using when comparing with historical data?

I also found that Boost Override Cutout does not change either of these readings so can Luthier explain that please?

I'd like to get these tests finished and fed back to you before any patch updates so could I have an answer quickly?

A lot of welcome improvements, many thanks team. Not had much time to explore this beta in great detail but just a few quick observations.

When exiting CloD, Windows reports launcher error.

Have noticed Spitfire reliability issues at high altitude.

Long server load times and much lower fps on ATAG than with previous patches/updates - (cloud issue?).

Tried last patch a pair of hours.

Tracers are a not bad adition at all. But as everybody say.....Trees apearing and disapearing?. I´d like to see, (now that they are developing the secuel), how can Il2 pilots attack their targets?. Vehicles are now visible from larger distances, but as you start to dive and try to strafe them....Suddenly trees appears in front of you!!!!. Amazing idea. Good cammo inded
And most important....stutters at least for me, are even worst that was before. Even if i have 50+ fps flying low level.

I think This could be better done.

as i read further it seems to me more people have much problems with the patch ( me included)
I notice that this patch took some two months to be released.
Can i kindly ask to B6 to ask the Devs what the next steps will be?
I can't imagine next friday, there will be a usual update telling us that the Devs are working to improve the sim further on as imho we are here not talking about improvement of a patch anymore. After all patches we got there seems to be a fundamental problem with the sim, at least for some people. If there was not, there wouldn't be so many complaints, after so long time of release.
So, will the Devs continue the way as they do so far or can the community expect a major change in policy to adress the fundamantal problems many customers have with this sim ?
Thank you for answering
Tigertooo

PS:B6, would it be possibe one of the Devs answer this question, as from what i read, you are the unfortunate "inbetween" chap

posted this on 3 rd of july, knowing we can ask questions in a kind way, to avoid getting infraction points or being banned, which is normal imho.I waited 8 days .I believe i asked a question in a mannered way, but what is the bl**y point in asking a polite question if you don't get an answer in the first place???????????????
Extremely dissapointed....again
I predict: it will be all over soon , pitty

I wonder if the devs have a version for testing in windows 8, I have the release preview installed and although ALL of my old game work, Il2 Clod doesn't, what happens is the launcher.exe flashes and dumps itself from the processes.
If there is a work around could you guys PM me or something, maybe I could test a win8 version in progress?

Not only do the patches not fix much but now they posted a link to a patch that installed all kinds of browser hijacks and adware to my computer. Thanks Luthier! The incredibar is a real pain to get rid of and I can't delete it from my registry. So now not only did you make me pay $60 for a game in Alpha testing, but now you've also made it so that I have to reinstall Windows again. How do they intend on releasing a sequel to this game? Aren't they using the same graphical engine? How do they even test a game with the stutters as bad as they are? Are they using some secret Russian computer that is built for the sole purpose of running this game at a smooth 60fps?

[broken pixel]

My frames are horrid with a 6990 and 6970 tri fire config.
I downloaded the latest patch and started a quick mission and noticed while
firing upon planes they puff green smoke now after being hit.

I tried going back to the steam updated version but the damn planes roll when in flight without even touching the joystick? Also the planes want to pitch up also without touching the stick????

So sad after the long, long, long wait for this sim.
