I wasn't picking a fight, just pointing out common sense.

what common sense? Are we testing a BETA patch that should give improvements? yes, but I don't see any improvement, only different colors and a new really good sound. Online, as I said many times, for me it's almost impossible to fly, because when I'm close to a plane, or after some minutes the game become unplayable, 1 FPS, and I only fly online. We that have problems are reporting this to help devs to make it better, and not argue with somebody that thinks to know everything. In another post http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=26097 I pointed to the fact that the Launcher.exe have a memory issue, but the only replies I got is that why I have 486 post and that this is not called memory leak. Are those answer helping something or are just nonsense? If reporting issues bothers some users then fine... I will stop like will be many others I believe.

It is common sense that a beta is just that...beta. Not finalized. Not completely tested. Use at your own risk. Etc.. etc..Always has been.

The beta patch did provide some improvements for some people. What you refer to as "only different colors and a new really good sound", does denote an improvement. Sorry the beta patch did not live up to your expectations and fix everything you had hoped, but it is usually best to go into any type of beta knowing full well some things may be improved while other aspects may be worse......that's the point of beta testing in the first place.

Posting issues found with a beta is one thing...complaining about the beta not working correctly is something else.

Listen man, here nobody is complaining, you are changing what people say here, a report in a complain. I reported low FPS online, as other users, and you say that we are complaining about it. Again the same question, have you tested the game online?? And again, I know exactly what is a BETA and his purpose, and I hoped nothing be fixed different from what the devs said in the readme.

Just a quick reply. Some great additions in the beta patch but my performance over all is down and my launcher is crashing online.

Same here. I really like the new terrain colours but on my system (core-i5 2500k @4GHz, 8 GB RAM, GTX 460, Win 7 64 bit) I've suffered about 25% FPS loss with the latest beta patch.

Not too worried about it ATM though since I've pretty much shelved the game for the time being anyway and just check back in every couple of weeks for updates.

Have you any knowledge about cloud optimization? Well, maybe it does belong here since the op is running a mod to reduce clouds as well.

On a clear day I get fps that are really nice (over 70, didn't measure it lately to it's fullest extend since I use vsync) almost independent from the number of planes being displayed. With clouds, as we all know, I am in the 30s....with luck.

Clouds do affect FPS probably more than they should, but testing offline in the QMB with a variety of aircraft numbers per mission i've had no real issues. Maybe a couple of stutters extra but nothing serious and since clouds and weather in general are not final i'm not getting upset over it.

A couple of times, yes. Worked fine apart from the loading pauses when certain players joined/where close to me, but that's been tracked down to skin download.

You know I am not getting upset over it, 30 ish for a moment or two is no big deal at all. The thing that clouds are not final was the answer I was looking for since it means the devs are working on that one as well.

While after reading the OP's other posts in this thread I understand he did not intend to be "complaining", the first post could be construed as that. My original post still stands.

I have no idea how you managed to create this illusion that I called you or anybody else "complainers". I just went back through all of my posts and I never called anybody a complainer at anytime in any post. In fact, I think I said "complaining" one time and it wasn't even directed at anybody. So, please stop reading into everything I post.

And, yes, I have tested it online....though not for long as I have other life committments that take precedent.
