Patch Beta 2 - v15866 - October 5, 2011

[Trooper117]

Looking at some of the latest vids from the latest beta, you have to admit it still looks PDG..
I have at last been able to play the game more or less without hassle since this last beta patch, and although it still has a long way to go, its still worth installing and playing.
It seems a shame just because of AA not functioning 100% that you think its not worth playing?

I didn't see this post, but after having spent some time in the cockpits I feel I have to say that your comment could not be further from the truth these cockpits are TERRIBLE when compared to what they used to be. I fly online most nights with TS3 and have yet to hear one person say they like the cockpits in fact most have made negative comments.

The cockpits were one of the best things in the game IMHO but now they have lost the quality that made them so great...

I am aware you are working on other parts of the sim but I hope at some point we get the awesome details/effects back.

Totally agree Krupi,the original cockpit quality has gone,it's still nice,but it ain't superb,as it once was IMO,pity.

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.
