You can't imagine how happy I am with the patch, no CTDs, higher FPS, more sounds, working AI commands.
This patch has been a a godsend for me and the other guys in our flying group.

If you really would like to fly the sim, I would suggest you to ask guys on ATAG's TS3 channel who do have the game good an running to help you with the install. Some guys I know thought they had the patch installed good but ultimately didn't, and after they did it right they were flying happy without CTDs and same or higher FPS.

Also, try different settings, be sure to turn off trees and grass, as they would cause stutters and bad performance according to the devs.

Thanks for the suggestion but I think I'll wait to turn CloD in to Flight Simulator 95 until the devs have fixed those "small" niggles "in a few days".

Spent over 2 hours On line in ATAG (Thanks ATAG) server today with the new patch. No CTD's. RAM usage was rock steady at 65% +- 1%. This with 30 or so players on. Ghosts still present and the Sand bar of Dover still there when looking from afar. All in all things are better for me. Still a fair way to go imo but a big improvement.

Did you turn off tree's and grass? im going to try this...il report back.

What an unmitagated piece of crap this patch is. The sim was far better BEFORE the stupid patch. There are so many bugs it needs pesticide. I want my money back..................................

So the clouds have been disabled apart from 'popping up' right before your eys, and now we have to disable grass and trees in order to see the fps increase? This is a joke isn't it? Really this has to be a joke on the dev's part. In order to gain the 50% fps increase turn down all the detail in the game. lol classic Just to stress the point here, if I turned off the grass and trees pre patch and clouds i would also expect to get a significant performance increase!!

6 months for this!!


My specs;

i72600K overclocked to 4.7Ghx
GTX680 2gb
16GB Ram DDR3 1800
Asus sabertooth Mobo.

this is how it works for me now.

when this forum simply starts to operate like any other forum where poeple are happy with their game, only then will i endulge in testing an actuall patch. so please keep up the banter and honesty about the continuing adventures of il2:cliffs of Dover.

Same here. Used the same settings and now I can play online with no CTD.

A lot smother performance for me even thought the FPS has not doubled it sure has improved. But it feels a lot smoother! No CTD:s so far and I really like the sound that is a lot more complete now (and it rocks!).

Sure, I maybe had anticipated a "major" boost, but as I get around 50-70 fps in average on the bomber intercept over London misson there is not much "use" of higher FPS anyway... Fooling around at low altitude over London it is completely smooth now with an average fps above 40 even on "extra all" settings skimming the roofs.

I have not tried online yet but if I don't get any CTD:s there I'm really happy with the patch, especially as more is in the pipeline!
