BETA PATCH v1.06.17582 - May 05, 2012

[FS~Phat]

In blackdeath I get a 12% increase in AVG FPS and small drop in Max FPS but the game is definitely much much smoother. I have a high end machine though so I wouldn't expect to get the increase that this patch is aimed at for the midrange market. (this is with default max veryhigh settings - everything turned on 0xAA and SLI not functioning)

The last Official 15950 patch I get AVG 54 Max 146 Min 4
This Beta 17582 patch I get AVG 60 Max 134 Min 6

Official 15950


Beta 17582

Pretty happy so far. I can now turn on a couple of features and gain approx 10fps. Also everything just seems smoother and freetrack is much more responsive.

Does anyone knows if I can put the International patch over the russian version to obtain the english language or this will mess the game?
If this isn't possible, does someone have the maddox.dll from the english version so I can update my game language? (bought it from Russia when it wasn't available at western - loooong ago).

Not sure, but after the last Beta patch was released I did it the other way around, I managed to turn my game into the Russian version! Try it, the worst that can happen is you have to press 'Verify game cache' in steam if it doesn't take.

The best patch I ever seen!

I've gained up to 5 (FIVE) fps! Oh, there are some new bugs, but... 5 fps in 6 months of patch development is simply great!!!! And it is the beta, can't wait for final release of the patch, maybe I can gain others fps!

hi, i installed the patch correctly (I can see it in the right corner)
but when i try to fly (free flight: quick mission) I can hear the engines and so, but I get a black screen or my background of my pc but I can't see myself flying ;(

i think i have direct x 11, could that be a problem?



thx in advance

Control animations, particularly those regarding the joystick and throttle still animate terribly. This also extends to the ailerons and elevators on aircraft which do not animate at the same FPS as the game which makes the animations jarring to look at compared to the rest of the game.

Whats even more confusing is if the same control such as a throttle is clicked on with the mouse and dragged, it animates smoothly. If the same control is linked to a throttle controller and moved, it animates at a slower rate and looks very poor.

This will be especially noticable to more people as they achieve better FPS now than before. It really should be fixed, I'm on the verge of putting up a comparison video comparing it to other recent flight simulators to show just how jarring and poor the animations look.

Too many other miscellaneous issues or WIP elements to really make a proper comment on the rest of the patch. From the looks of things its primarily to check for serious stability issues, which is ok by me. I just hope all these miscellaneous issues are cleared up before a proper release.
