Are they saying there is nothing new in this patch? It just the same as the one on 5th May. If so...i don't know how to finish that sentence.

Stability testing is the order of the day.

Release notes should be done and ready before compiling/building the exe file.
If this is not the case, and so it seems, there are a couple alarmbells sounding off in my little universe.

Any game I have ever been around they always state that the raw patch notes have to be cleaned up for public consumption, I would assume that is even more so the case with a game being developed in Russia...

First Impressions...very good.

I verified on Steam first...cleared cache and then installed the beta. Did a quick fly around in a free flight Quick mission...CTD as I tried to exit. I have since loaded the game three times separately to do individual quick missions and have had no more CTD, so perhaps the crash was a one off as the cache was rebuilt? (no idea on that).

Anyway...FPS is definitely lower for me, but the game is also a lot smoother, so its a trade off I am happy with. FPS pretty stable in the 40s so all is well. Stuttering still exists low level but it is so much reduced that I am ok with it. Once I was in a fight, I didn't notice it anymore. Trees pop into view at a much shorter distance which hurts the immersion and I hope this is not permanent (was using low trees, but I will try another setting tomorrow as I read in an earlier post in this thread.). Clouds do drop FPS further, but nowhere near as much as before (single digit FPS pre this beta)....the game remains playable as I was in and near clouds in these quick tests....nice.

All in all, it seems a good improvement on my machine. When I was getting lower FPS it felt like it was due to my computer lacking grunt rather than the game engine. That's the way it should be.

I Just did the Manston attack mission in a spitfire at 8pm game time...lighting was gorgeous...the moon's reflection over the channel was fantastic. LOVE how the tracers look now. I also don't remember the bullet ricochet before, but they are very noticeable now with the new tracer settings.

Haven't had a good test of the AI commands, however the Spits that were following me instantly attacked some 110s that were in front of me when I ordered them to...so something seems to be working in that regard. I still couldn't get clearance to land (could have been my fault) and my wingie still folllowed me down when i landed without permission, but instead of crashing next to me, he zoomed up and away.....promising.

So, a very brief test for me (Good God its nearly 4 am!). I haven't flown for a couple of months due to work/lack of time...so I enjoyed this brief little session.

In game setting pretty much on High except for Trees (Low), Land shading (Med) and Building Detail (Low).

Cheers all.

Cheers for that Dano. I hope it's been worth waiting for.
