Betas running smooth now on my I5 system.

i know what you mean. it was a hard choice for me too.


tried another 100+ plane sortie, same as above, same settings. stayed over land, stayed low etc. didnt start fraps till battle started.

but this time i over clocked my i5 to 4.5 ghz.

still had some stutters but it sure made a differance in my minimum. heres my fraps score.

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
18534, 342952,,,,,,,,,20, 107, 54.043

so fighting 100+ planes over land, at low alt, with upper end settings, is very doable, if you got the horse power.

its pretty dam cool watching 100+ planes swirling around the sky. a gaggle of 110s tried to mug my spitty.

good to hear

After the latest patch i can now actually fly a complete mission from takeoff to landing with full max settings playable. It still gets a bit choppy with attacking formations while still over land but its not so bad you cant play it. I am pretty sure this is still largely due to my other card not being used yet as well as further multi-core threading needing tweaking All and all its starting to shape up and the best news is its no longer trying to over heat my card. that was scary hitting 85-90C before i even took off until the first patch fixed that. Now I can easily keep it from cracking 65C with just a minor increase in fan speed profile very good change there.

Makes sense in my world as CPU keeps track of pos data etc for 100+ AI.
So sounds like 128 planes battles are within reach...but not at recommended specs though.
