Beta Patch – and we mean BETA!

[No601_Swallow]

In case it helps:

Intel Core 2 Quad (2.4 ghz)
Asus P5K mobo
4 Gb DDR2 ram
Radeon 5770 (1 Gb vram)
Windows 7 Pro 32 Bit

Patch installed fine, runs fine (1280 x 1024).

Noticeably smoother over land. Stutters much reduced. Textures seem to load faster (so fewer freezes when the mission starts). Buildings and trees on "Low", everything else on medium or high. Missions, mostly around Tangmere/Portsmouth/Isle of Wight, are with very few aircraft, though. (I have realistic expectations at this point.)

Not perfect yet, and FPS can't be much above 30 or so (haven't measured it, though), but noticeable increase in performance.

Thank you very much. A work of art just got even more gorgeous. (For me, at least).

Hello.

I've got an improvement in many ways.
I've got smoother progress over land and London, the latter is a joy to fly over now.
TrackIr is controlling the cockpit much better, you seem to have added a notch position at the centre of the console and that is VERY helpful.
The transition from straps loose to straps tight is very much improved and now doesn't confuse the Hell out of me.
The aircraft seem more stable, either because you've altered the flight model or because you've altered the control input routines, I don't know which.
I'm getting no problems at all over the channel, the application is flawless in combat there and improvements over land. I flew off the water over the south coast and saw very little problems.
I am getting the unfortunate black screen on loading but as has been stated just click on the desktop during the visible load and all is well.
Well done dev team, now make it better ...
