Patch Beta 2 - v15866 - October 5, 2011

For those looking for an anti aliasing fix with nvidia cards, check this out, it was recently posted, does work and actually better than the stock anti aliasing because not only does it look better, it also relieves the system of a considerable workload.

I believe it's a DX10 fix, which works on AMD too? It definitely works on my XFX 5970 HD and in my opinion looks great! There is a hot key that works in-game to turn it on or off and the difference is quite clear to me. Some have posted concerns about it being picked up as a cheat by Steam though.

It has dx9 files as well, if you need them. However I have heard of it potentially being seen by steam, but havent heard any reports of it actually happening. I dont worry about it because I never play it online and probably wont till the game is properly optimized. I heard that it does work on ati cards but can have a performance hit so its worth a shot, if it dosent help I suppose you could just remove the files and fix that.

Hello Maxwatts.

Could you please tell me what hotkeys you are using to enable and disable it ?

I read about Pause/Break key and Ins/Del .What are you using ? (I have a AZERTY Keyboard)
Also , when exactly do you turn it on ?, when in GUI or when the mission is already running ?

Thanks a lot

just went back to previous beta patch 15527, which showed me that the beta patch 15866 is nothing but crap....
-colours of the landscape are debateable, but all the members who live in that area claim that the previous beta patch colours are more convincing
-cockpits are drastically overcontrasted and lost all reflections(big step backwards)
-crosshair of the 109 is almost invincible when played with an FOV of 90° or higher(big step backwards)
-performance slightly decreased and stutters are way more noticeable now again
-flyby sounds, whether realistical or not, are now not as convincing anymore, because of the loss of the doppler effect

most irritating is that luthier stated that the colours are to stay that way...thats rubbish

If that be the case, then there isn't much point in going back really.. when the proper patch comes, and the colours are remaining the same then its a matter of just wearing it.

[David198502]

sorry but i dont understand what you are trying to say?

[Trooper117]

You can't stay on the beta patch forever, and if what you say is true, that Luthier has said the colours are here to stay, then when the real patch (the next one) comes, the same colours will still be there..
So, will you stay with the beta, probably not as most people and servers will move on with the times.. so you will probably have to change as well, rubbish or not.
It may not be ideal, as I liked the original cockpits for instance, but I'll switch to the new patch when it comes all the same..
