Patch Beta 2 - v15866 - October 5, 2011

[pupo162]

Textures are not loading correctly, evne if at original everithing has a very poor quality texture, planes included. . didnt happen before.

FOR THE FORTH PATCH IN A ROW! 109 PP is still reversed, increase key, decreases, and decrease increases... fix this already.

stutters and bad performance overall. Cant get close to any plane without massive drop on fps, no graphics option helps this one out,

+ the usual: AI building popping etc etc.

Oh, here we go again! People start major rants about the cocpit colours, luthier is buying that and the "fixing" frenzy starts all over again, while there's still no working AI comm system. Yay, that's a bright outlook...again!

What a useless comment.

Wow...Im amazed at the speed that the fix was put out!

overall I am yet again impressed at the patch.
Things like colors, textures, etc are matters of opinion, so ill keep mine to myself in that regard.

As to performance I noticed a slight drop in FPS, perhaps 1-2 fps at most with all settings on high and original textures, so no complaint there.

Menue music works again, nice.
loadout screens are once more manipulable, very nice.

Only issue is with the 109 automation. E-4 had auto prop pitch, yes, but not automatic radiators.
I understand that it can be turned off, ya sure, but it shouldnt be on in the first place.
I would love to see some evidence supporting that they were, in fact, automated. But fact is that I havent seen any evidence, anywhere to support wide spread use of an automatic radiator system in the Emil.

Like the new Revi sight, the focus is far better now. Any chance of making the shape true to life or is the gunsite representative of something other than the Revi C 12d?

All in all very nice. The game continues to improve.
Thanks to all.

well i know for a fact that the 109e4 rads aren't auto. try taking off and use them silly.

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.

Couldn't have put it better myself. Agree on all counts. Once I've installed the hotfix, testing is to be resumed.

Looking forward to testing the airspeed improvements. Anyone tested altitude yet?

[Skilgannon506]

Well, I am impressed.

Don't know if it was putting the patch over a fresh install or checking the config files as Luthier put on with the added info and the hotfix (although the entries were all as should be).

Now the game is back to being very playable. Maybe a very slight drop in FPS but certainly nothing like the disaster I had last night!!

SOunds are excellent, new colours are a matter of taste but I like them so far (only been flying Spits and Hurris).

Did notine that the props no loger disappear when viewed in front of clouds now too

Heading in the right direction, now if we could only communicate with out wingmen/flight/ground control/section control.......

Cheers

I think I have to agree too that landscape colors from 1.03.15527 were better than the ones from 1.04.5866, excepting the haze, which seems to be better in the new one (ie lighter applied on close terrain, and heavier applied on the distant one).

Also, from my obeservations, the FPS seems to be better on both my laptop with an ATI card, and desktop with an Nvidia one.

To me this was trying to fix somthing that wasn't broken. Im sticking with the first patch.

I did.
Took off, had a 5 minute furball at full power + war emergency and came home without once even looking at oil/coolant temps.
Lo and behold, everything is nice and cool immediately after the fight.

heck cant even manipulate the rads without turning off radiator automation.

I guess ATAG_Striker was trying to say that he knows historic 109E4's didn't had an automatic radiators, like they have now in the latest patch.
