I did.
Took off, had a 5 minute furball at full power + war emergency and came home without once even looking at oil/coolant temps.
Lo and behold, everything is nice and cool immediately after the fight.

heck cant even manipulate the rads without turning off radiator automation.

I guess ATAG_Striker was trying to say that he knows historic 109E4's didn't had an automatic radiators, like they have now in the latest patch.

No performance problems to report. I like the new cockpit rendering, sound and changes to haze, spotting distant ac, etc. The terrain colouring seems too vibrant compared with Beta 1, somwhere between Beta 2 and Beta 1 would be about right for me. I tweaked 'digital vibrance' in Nvidea CP to peg the terrain tones back.

Excellent work and many thanks Luthier and team.

BTW, you do know that whilst you have included Boost enable/disable for the Spits - engaging Boost does nothing for the Mk1's and the MkII's are banned from most servers.

I'm running the game on 2560x1600, I play the game on mostly high settings (i use high textures, medium trees, the rest are highest settings), no AA, and I was getting about 30 fps flying low in the london sightseeing misson, a record high. For me the stutters have almost all but disappeared. In previous beta i was getting about 15-20 fps flying low, and with stuttering. So in my experience this beta was a drastic improvement. The clouds and particle effects still lower my framerate badly (down to 9 fps at lowest), so I hope there is something the dev team can do about it. Good work Luthier and team, I think you guys have made much progress!

BTW i'm using 285.38 Nvidia drivers. SLI enabled, but dunno if it is working in the game. I just leave it on because i play battlefield bc2 alot and need the SLI for that.

Oh yeah, before installing i cleared the cache. And I did use the hotfix posted for the beta 2.

Anyone else seeing similar improvements?

This Sim is best shape on his history, i got very good FPS. Steady 60FPS with Vsync, even over London, allmost all highest, texture is High not Orginal, no Grass, and building details is med, SSAO off. Some stuttering there and there but not so bad anymore. Really happy with patch, i hope we see working AA soon. Just checked with Afterburner too, my both GPU's was good use, so there is working crossfire. First i got problems, then i remembered delete ubi logo. Good work Luthier and co. keep up good work.

Why we dont get seperate shadows to cockpit, they are so nice but landshadow flickers so much i cannot use them and get mu FPS to half over London.
Put mirror to off by default.

New menu music is really good.
