ClOD is not playable on my machine, atm. But the few that I can see is beatiful ... tried the G50, it is gorgeous ... easy handling, maneuverable, stable fire platform ... beautiful cockpit ... I am considering an HW upgrade just to play this sim. Tried to disable aero desktop thing, no effect whatsoever apart from a warning of incompatibility when launching ClOD.

Settings:
1280*800
AA 2x
shadows off
grass off
roads off
models high
buildings very low
terrain low
forest very low
effects high
damages high
terrain shadows low

BUG-1: the sound of the Fiat G.50 guns continue for a couple of seconds after releasing the trigger.
BUG-2: the AI tend to crash into the sea/land by their own, when dogfighting at low alt. All of my AI G.50 mates died this way ... and a couple of enemy planes as well.
BUG-3: under negative g the Merlin never shuts down, it just sputters and turns low revs. No way to turn it off by neg G.

The buildings still cause stuttering


Saving loadouts don't work either.

Nor does AA.

I got about 2x FPS increase and less stuttering with the latest update.. Perfectly playable now, smooth even fighting 20 vs. 20 nap of the earth over a village and airfield with objects and AAA.

Phenom II 1055t 6-core
4 gb 1666mhz ddr3
palit gtx 460 sonic 2gb

Thanks Ilya & the team!

edit: settings are 1680 x 1050, no AA, everything high except buildings low trees medium and no roads.

you hit the nail right on the head with this gtx460 2gb Erkki

there is definitely a random driver related performance problem on some newer cards

S!

Fully playable with little stutter. I tried buildings Low with Very Low details on them..no joy but horrible stutter down low. Then I left the building detail to Very Low but slapped Unlimited amount o buildings = a LOT less stutter?!

So did the unlimited amount of buildings set them there = less popping up => less stutter? Same applied when upped resolution 1440x900 to 1650x1080. Strange..back to experimenting!

Great patch for my part!

Also disabling Aero (http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=20842) and running Gamebooster might also have helped.

I am now playing with shadows, clouds, trees and buildings low, 1680res, grass on, roads on - rest on medium.
Its looking good, and performing very well.

Quick notice: buildings (over London) seems to be loaded at a short distance, so they keep popping up everywhere around you. Once loaded though, they stay there "a long time". Trees are drawn much farther away.
This is on Building Amount=low.
Setting Building Amount=unlimited the popping-up disappears...instead building blocks/squares/areas seems to be loaded in chunks.

Loading times also lowered here.
