took a first glance!!!
and i have to say...waoh!
the new lightening is great.way way better now.didnt have much time to look carefully for all the new features.just took the E4 and killed some spits.its funny to saw wings off now.
ah and the sounds.....great!i love the way the lowering landing gear sounds now.
tomorrow i will have a deeper look into the new world of cod.

Man I have to stay here at work for a few more hours. What a drag.

[Fjordmonkey]

Took the E4 out for a little spin, and....Whoa, man. Just...Whoa.

I actually got my better half breathing fire down my neck because of the sounds. They are simply AWESOME! FINALLY the 109 sounds like a 109. Actually got shot down twice and crashed once because I couldn't stop doing flybys

I also found that I definately liked the new colors etc. Also got a nice boost in performance, even with everything maxed out. Had some stuttering when I was down low in the trees, maneuvering heavily and panning around a lot, but nothing major.

The only issue I found was that for some reason, I've got "rainbows" (tearing etc) between some panel-lines and certain places in the E4's cockpit. Nothing too major.

Only somewhat annoyance was the static reflection in the instruments, and that only somewhat. Would love for them to be dynamic, or have the option to remove them. Probably something I'll get used to.

All in all: Applauds all around! Another good step towards becoming THE WWII-sim for years and years to come.

still not fixed the FFB still shaking even after the plane has crashed , its somewhat annoying .

not related to the patch but thought id mention it incase noone ever has

[von Pilsner]

I was playing 'Dogfight - Even' mission last night and played it today (post-patch) and I'm getting a performance hit... 8-10 fps less and more micro stutters when flying low.

EDIT: cleared cache and defragged game directory and fps drop/stutter remains.

I'm still getting blocky water (nVidia 430 GPU) other than that it all looks great, I assume performance will probably increase over time as code is optimized.

[Thr0tt]

omg a performance hit to something that runs single digit fps anyways, I think i'll wait for a fps fix.

[Welshman]

im not too keen on the way its switches from idle to revving on the spit , the guns seem a little weak sounding now too or maybe thats just me ..

noticed we've lost the clicks we used to get when using switches and toggles in the cockpit , i liked thoughs as it let you know you've done it .

i too noticed a performance hit , time for an upgrade on the gfx front i think , my 4890s are pushing there luck now , specially as xfire isnt working right yet .

I only had some few quick missions with the E-4 against some bombers, therefore cannot say very much about the changes.

What I can say is that it is great sounds with the 109 and the atmosphere in general!

And I have the impression that the AI gunners have become much more accurate - they shot my beautiful E-4 every time in pieces.
