am i missing somethink or is this a error within the patch ?


And the most important note. If you notice REDUCED performance, crashes, or any kind of other crippling issues, it is extremely important you post your system specs including your version of Windows. That's the only way we can troubleshoot your problem and make sure it disappears by tomorrow!

Notes:
Very little improvement over previous version, if at all. Almost static at the start as everything loads in, and continuous stutter when flying over ground.

I will try again with every setting as low as it will go later.

I have to say i cant tell,it looks like better above the water,the microstutters are gone,but try to fly campaign mission and its unplayable, so i would say its improvement but not enough so far to enjoy the game at its full potential.Hope the multicore fix will help.I think my weak point is the G card.
Also the sound was all wrong and sometimes the radio chatter i couldnt understand a word, please improve the sound too, i shouldnt hear metal clink of my bullets bouncing on a plane 400 meters away like it is in my cocpit.
I am on your side guys crossing fingers that all goes well for this sim but you dindnt know you had such a poor performance with the last build???dont tell me.

setting of game:lower res i forget how much the next option i got after my native 1680x1050 ,high aircraft, medium effects and particals, rest low or switch off.
