With Patch...what besides FPS?

[smink1701]

Just curious...some are seeing an increase in FPS with the patch. Anyone noticing any other improvements?

I'm curious to hear what the new sounds are like?

No...no you dont.

I like the new sounds, but I have never heard one of these planes in reality, so I don´t know if the new engine sounds are more realistic than older ones.
But the new wind sound with open cockpit is certainly much much better.

I think your getting a placebo effect, Merlins only sound different at low rpm and wind sound is identical. To me the machine guns sound like they are in tube. Cockpit doesn't sound alive like luthier said it did at all. If they coded it the events so the could have the attached sounds I could build a better sound mod, but sadly they have removed those niceties, seems they were to distract us while the sim was unplayable in the early days

Flying a Ju-87 I have noticed a couple of new sounds:

- The flap switch now has a nice sound.
- Engine failure sounds are improved.

Yeah thats something that IS better the engine damage/failure sounds

No launcher crashes after 8 hours of flying. You can fly in human bomber formations without a crash. I tried everything to make it crash tbh, it just wouldn't do it

The different sounds are nice. It seems the sound radar is fixed as well. Spittys can't hear the 109's unless they are really close / canopy open. Huge difference in sound with canopy open or close. I'm just happy about the CTD issue being solved for me.

There were several people on TS getting CTD's every 10-20 minutes, once we explained how to properly install the patch, they were in the same boat, flying for hours without a crash. I think 1/2 the problems people are experiencing are using corrupt download mirrors or installing wrong. (Just based on the people we spoke to in person that got it working right doing it our way).

I think i should do a full uninstall tbh cos i'm not getting bearly any new sounds, i guess when i have done that i will have a more accurate picture. I have noticed the birds tweeting when stationary if thats what you mean by a huge difference when canopy open, flying wind noice seems identical to me.

This could very well be the cause, there have been many guys in our flying group ( 5./JG27 ) that had problems with the patch once installed, we helped them through the install once more and cured their problems. I've been flying on some servers last night without a single crash, even intercepting flights of 4 aircraft and battling with over 7 aircraft at 3000m at some point, over Manston.
