Development Update and Roadmap – April 14

[dflion]

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.

Thanks Luthier, as not is that des that have changed the team not me just work as well as with the other, now use an Intel I7950 3. 06GHz and I have a lot more stuttering than before with the intel core 2 Quad 9550...


By the way, someone could tell me whether it is better to let on or off the Hyper-Threading in the bios options?


Thanks a lot

Spend £58 on the collectors version. I really hope that this patch will make the game playable on my Dell Studio 17! Runs ROF OK albeit not on Max!
