Then i reboot game and FPS is back to steady 60fps without grass, so if you turn off grass, game needs to reboot to take FPS to back max without grass, weird but true on my case. Game doesen't tell you to reboot when change grass setting.

Funny is when i have the grass on and get it off, it's off but i don't get fps boost and get rid of rubberband effect without booting the game.

FPS checked with FRAPS

Look like London is stuttering now much more, do some testing but now Cross-coyntry is real enjoy to flight with silky smooth FPS, FPS cannot be better than now, 60fps at all time and no rubberband at all without grass.

Done some more testing, yeah London FPS is better but more stutter, really bad hickups there and there but great FPS.

What is reaaaaaly weird, sometimes when i launch a game i got really steady 60FPS without rubberband in Cross-Country, sometimes after a game launch i got 35-37 in same settings in the exatly same place on the runway, so grass is not the reason.

I mean i start a game first go to crosscountry, i got about 35-37 with rubberband, i quit start the game again and i got steady 60fps without rubberband and silky smooth, when it's smooth my TiR is really smooth too, really strange behaviour, just look like there is something trigger what sometimes go on and sometimes not go on. not smooth, restart, yeah smooth without touch on settings.

Another examble, i go first Cross-country, get steady 60fps, then i go to london, very bad stuttering, quit flight and go back straight to Cross-country, really bad stuttering first and then steady 35-37 again with rubberband, so before london it was steady 60 and really smooth.

Memory ???

I can alt tab to Win and back i use Fullscreen and v-Sync.

Looking better, now i get steady good FPS at all time, as long i avoid London.

If i fly London sometime and go back to Cross-country or England i don't get good FPS anymore in there, 30-37. So all is good as long i don't go London.

Actually really good performance now. Freeflight France is laggy too, those factoryareas.

As mentioned before, on airstarts there is no FF Centering Spring at all, some tight G turns and they come.

Yes, I can also confirm this since the beta patch where they added FFB support. My joystick is a Microsoft Force Feedback 2. Also, sometimes FFB is lost in the middle of a flight until you make some tight G turns again.

Some initial patch input: Patch works fine here, everything good, performance seems improved, it still has some way to go, it still has some unacceptable microstutters but its much improved. But no big issues with the patch, works good.

System: Win7 Sp1 fully updated. GTX470 1GB latest drivers, Sandy bridge CPU, 8GB RAM, regular harddrives nothing fancy there.

I had the opposite impression after this patch. Keep up the good work and we will get there. Good luck guys.

My fps are slightly down compared to last beta but even with Avg fps around 50 I have more stuttering with same video setting, particularly when close to ac or looking around. Doesn't seem as smooth as prev beta but will do more testing and tweaking today.

Desktop sounds generated during launch (as others report).

Same warning as above and have Aero Off and Full screen enabled.
