You do realize that optimzing performance only affects a handful of people of the dev team?

Cod is not finished yet.

Comprehensive reading is not one of your strong skills, is it?
Do you actually know what "Beta" means?

It's all requiring polishing in so many areas of it, not only in the air, also on ground, in hangars.

Hangars?
Clod will NOT receive any new ground objects, Bow on the other hand will.
Given the fact you can merge both...

I mean inside the hangar it's not better, sometimes the aircraft is positionned so that it's very difficult to get out without touching the wings.

It is one of them indeed. Do you mean we're beta testers ? What if I'm bored of beta testing this game ? Is this anything close from what one can understand ????

I'm honestly very disapointed. I upgraded my hardware because of CoD, thought it could have any effect, which it did not.

To ensure you are not getting avoidable performance troubles, make sure you have a properly rebuilt cache.

1) Go into your documents\1c softclub\etc folder and clean the cache folder (delete everything)

2) Install the patch

3) Run the game. It will take a while the first time you load it, as it's rebuilding the cache.

4) Run a quick mission, eg free flight over London but don't use to benchmark. Just fly around. This will force any missing cache data to be added to the cache folder.

5) Restart the sim.

Now you have a properly populated cache folder and you should be getting the patch's true performance. Otherwise, you might see that it's slower the first time you run it after installing the patch, because it's still populating the cache.

Trying, thanks BD.

Thanx Blackdog just downloaded the torrent...shortly, the install...appreciate the reminder on the cache.

There's a reason I didn't.
Those users post here regularly their results, as far as I could tell it takes a 570/6xx to notice any improvements - I therefore decided to wait - for either the devs to fix it or the prices to drop, lol.

Do you mean we're beta testers ?

No, if you're asked to dl a beta version and test it, you're most likely an astronaut.

Not sure why but I can't delete everything in my cache folder, I have 8 .dds files which just show up as green squares and have strange numerical filenames theat just won't go because it says they are being used by windows explorer, but I dont have them open anywhere and steam is shut down......?

That's right, I believed a 560 'd be enough, it's really a good video card.

I've been astronaut and will remain until the job's finished

tried a reboot already?

[GOA_Potenz]

Well as far as i tested

No small caliber bullets holes yet
Tracers looks nice
Performance seems a bit better over land at least over london
this is still far for being complete but this is the first time i could see any improvement.

Bug: Road in the middle of the channel (maybe is part of operation sea lion )
