Really, the stutters are gone for me, but low fps perhaps that what your seeing.

I get around 70-90 fps over open water.

I'm getting mid 20s to mid 30s flying low-level over London and then dropping suddenly down as low as 3 fps hence the stuttering.

ok now did the test over land on med settings (amount of building set to low).....and it wasnt smooth at all....stuttered a bit

Okay, so its low fps stuttering not 20-30fps stuttering, I would say that its just low fps not a stutter problem like we had before.

I reckon if you over-clocked your cpu to 3.5-4GHz you would see a drastic improvement.

I have everything on low except decals and models and although it seems smooth over normal land and sea, over London I am getting major stutters and very low frame rates which were not there with the unofficial patches.

Plus the map looks rubbish like that as well. I can play RoF smoothly and it looks great - towns actually look like towns, but here it all looks like toytown - square blocks of houses all over the place, nothing like London really. No church steeples, no smoke from factories, no urban looking landscape from a distance away at all - at 5k altitiude the urban terrain is only visible a few tens of miles away and beyond it looks all green even though you know London extends a lot further - looks very poor.

This is exactly my experience with this beta too. Though it´s somewhat better than the previous patch, I think it´s because the strange absence of buildings with low & medium settings. With high & very high there are buildings accompanied with pretty much the usual stutter. Towns really look like a children´s wooden toy blocks scattered all over the place.

Hurricanes gun patches are not being broken after firing, unless you actually watch the planes fire at something - then they break. Otherwise it doesnt look like the planes have fired at all even though you know they have. This could be something to do with SSAO off as it happened with the unofficial mods too.

Despite what it says in the patch notes flying a Hurricane the compass still is showing incorrect headings at start of missions! How am I supposed to fly a plane that isnt set up before you get into it. You wouldnt have to set the compass in real life I am sure.

Hurricane went into cruise mode with CEM off after a few minuites from taking off as before - this really should have been addressed by now as this is a game killer for me. Means I cannot play the game until this is fixed as dogfights are impossible once the planes enter cruise mode.

Starting to get a bit fed up with this now to be honest. Dont expect to have to beta test to this sort of degree a game I have bought - I hoped it was going to be just bits and pieces of tinkering, but I have doubts now I will be able to play this game months from now. Hope its sorted soon.

Dont want to be that guy, but your pc specs is well below recommended and borders on minimum required.

Sorry that your experience has not been a good one, I do want to point out however that absolutely you need to set compass manually in real life. The compass in the hurricane works just fine and is accurate in detail to real life. The floating bit in the middle is the compass needle.. twist the outer ring so that the T mark aligns with North then read off the heading at the 12 O'clock position.. then set your direction indicator to that heading, bingo.

Nearly all modern prop aircraft require manual setting of the DI according to the compass, it is an essential part of the pre-start checklist. You check it against the compass every 15 minutes or so during flight making any adjustments required.

In CoD I have set one of the HOTAS POV switches to increase/decrease the direction indicator along with the compass. That makes it quite trivial to check and update. As long as you are within 5 degrees or so of the compass then you will be fine.

The alternative is essentially an arcade game.

Multi Core seems to be working.. my primary Core was at about 60% while another core was around 40 and the other 2 at 35 or so.. obviously it was changing quite a bit over time, but its working. Also, the Affinity Mask line in the conf.ini seems to not matter.. I had it set previous then put a semi colon back in front and no change in performance that I could see.
