GTX460 1Gb
Windows 7

I got most things to high some to medium. Not original textures. I get 60fps over the sea and with aircraft over London (with clouds and AAA) I was getting 35-40 but it felt smoother than before- less stuttering it seemed but I dont know if this is placebo effect

Hopefully the performance is alot better,alos who do you cache cleaning or game integrity?

There are no clouds when Medium clouds is selected. Max cloud cover possible in quick mission.

As seem below.

I am 100% sure I saw clouds in London quick mission, fluffy ones near to my a/c. Can you check that mission maybe? I will check again when I can get back to the game.

You are correct, weird.

Images above were Free Flight over England, with Medium clouds set.. no clouds.

Images Below are from sightseeing over London, with Medium Clouds set...




Very odd.

Overall, things seem pretty good. I've been able to run it on high settings stutter-free (until the beta patch before last), and it's back to being stutter free again.

I know a lot of people are going to moan about it, but the Su-26 and its wonder weapons are brilliant fun (I still haven't manged to hit anything with the PIP so I can't figure out what it does, but the others are fun. The kickback on the PIP is so huge it swings the plane round 90 degrees and you can't even see where you shot, let alone whether you hit or not). As someone said though, the only way to change the loadout is through the FMB which is a bugger, but otherwise, great fun!

How's Spit Mk I and II today compared to 109 and to reality ?
Do we have 350 TAS at 18'000 ft (260 IAS) with 6.25 boost Mk I ?

C'mon Tommy mate, spill the beans. How is the overheating in the Spits????

Can't download yet.

Spit IIa @ 8,000 ft the most i could get out of her was 250mph IAS with 9lb boost.

i'm not sure how this compares to the previous patch tbh.
