What aircraft where you flying? The controls in CoD mimic the controls in the real aircraft.

So, if you're flying a Spit or Hurri, you can press the brakes key and add some rudder and it will turn on the spot, because that's how it was done in the real one. There was only one brake lever on the stick grip and differential braking was achieved by a valve connected to the rudders: it supplied equal pressure to both brakes if the rudder was centered but as you applied rudder it supplied more pressure to the wheel brake in the direction the rudder was deflected.

However, if you are flying a 109 or 110 this will not work because they had separate left/right brakes. In these aircraft, pressing the brakes key pushes down on both wheel brakes but if you want differential braking you'll have to map separate keys for left and right wheel brakes.

I hope that helps clear it up somewhat.

Highest settings, vsync on, ATI cat 11.4 highest quality. Planes do not show in F2 mode.

Check you haven't just moved the aircraft out of the field of view using left-click on the mouse in external view. Try zooming out and then re-centering the aircraft if so.

Awesome Patch
 

Stutters are gone, and i'm getting 20+ fps on the ground and between 30-60 in the air with many planes. I'm running highest setting, 8xaa, but minus the SSAO. And my screen resolution is 2560x1600. So far the greatest improvements to performance I've seen, and the graphics look so damn beautiful. Well done!

I was flying a mission last night, attacking some bombers in my bf109, when my engine got shot up and the engine hood got blown off exposing the top half of the engine. Awesome damage modelling hehehe. Lots of surprises.

The game starts up fine but every time I try to load a mission I get CTDs after this patch. Cleared the cache as suggested. Any ideas? If not how do I roll back to previous patch version? (sorry, I need lots of help...)

i had to uninstall teh beta patch due to many crashes

It seems the performance issues have been fixed completely on my machine. I'm getting solid 50fps with no stutters on 1600x900 50hz.

I just fought a 8 v 8 dog fight Dover at dawn. Very beautiful game now and a joy to fly.

I have still seen AI fighters doing impossibly fast rolls at high speed. Many small details and errors yet to be dealt with yet.

But performance is optimized here :cool:

Better than first patch
 

Dear Luthier and team.

first of all HAPPY HOLLIDAYS, you really need it. Enjoy R&R and load your batteries.

This patch is much better for me. More fps and no stutters by turning off shadows and clouds. Having both enabled, i get stutters but not as bad as the very first/initial patches.
You are really doing a great job and going the right direction.;)

Thanks alot

My problem as well. Anyway, if you right-click on the name of the game in Steam and then choose "verify game files" or something similar, Steam will replace the patch files with the last "official" version. (For me, I then installed the previous beta patch over this official version, which works fine on my machine.)
