Guys. Please take note that the FPS posted was AVERAGE.

CloD on my 570gtx had always been adequate at average FPS - it's the slowdown with smokes/clouds and low level stutter (resource loading/texture shuffling?) that kills the experience.

So let's not celebrate too much until more info is posted - I think there might be a reason why Luthier didn't post the benchmark more in detail - they probably are still ironing out the quirks.

Yes, we are well aware that it was an average figure thanks, maybe you missed several of us making comments on the stutter and dust too? They are quite obvbiously still ironing out the quirks, otherwise we would all be using it right now.

I was hoping to see a little more info on a timeline of the patch release, I mean if you are releasing stats now maybe that means you are closer? But then without some sort of acknowledgement, its all just guessing, and I am tired of guessing

If I am guessing, closer than last week is about all I can guess, something firmer would be nice, getting harder and harder to come here and just see a little tease or two.

hope this doesnt come off too bitchy, just frustrated.

I guess all we can say is that the new graphic-Engine is nearly finished. But if they want to pack other things into the patch as well, this things might not be finished yet.

I wouldn´t take this update as a promise that the patch will be out very soon...

Oh trust me, I dont take anything as a promise of anything... hence why I am frustrated...

Thanks for the update BS.

With regards to FM - I am sure you are aware that the Spifire MkIIa is banned from most on-line servers which leaves only the Spitfire Mk1's which are slower than a Hurricane and the Spitfire Mk1's Boost Cut Out does not function. Can we expect to see these performance issues corrected?

The development has stopped giving guestimates. They have been royally roasted in the past by many community members that just don't understand its impossible to give a solid timeframe when there are no foolproof checklists for this type of work. Its unfortunate but we brought it on ourselves.

Thanks for the update. A Polikarpov I-16, now with holes! Oh, and the 134 FPS tease...didn't Luthier mention that about five months ago? Glad to see everything is progressing smartly.

I agree there has been progress. Luthier did mention awhile ago that they were looking at a 50% increase in frame rates during beta testing the new graphic engine, but now that has increased to 100%. Its also interesting they will be showing video footage of an unexpected new feature in the next update.
