Borderline comments are on both sides. Hard to say who is reacting to who, but that is certainly the case. It is obvious that there are quite a few ppl that always see the CloD glass half empty and try to impose their views on others (such are also comments accusing others of being in denial). Other people find this a reason to post something positive about the situation.

IMO whatever you are - a negative or positive person - you are part of this community. Even those who did not buy the game yet, but are lurking to find it in a fixed state.

Beta patch is alpha patch. What devs really wanted from their customers - enjoy their game by playing it or to become their alphatesters?

TBH I do not know why devs released it. They said multiple times before that they want to release the ready version. Why the shift of decisions it is not up to me to answer this. Maybe as BlackSix put it, they want to widen the testing crowd. My guess is they are unable to tell by themselves if the patch is ready or not. Anyway, if I had time to test it , I would. Out of pure will to help. I don`t see nothing wrong with that.

Now all of you play "IL2: AT" game, where AT means ALPHA TESTING... Enjoy it, if you have nothing better to do...

Well, I took my part in testing RCs back in the IL2 days when it was simple enough. Since Steam entered the scene, I don`t really think it is worth the effort and risking of being banned. Although I can see other ppl are willing to help. There were many requests for releasing the beta patch.

P.S. Don't be angry, because people are fed up with Luthier making them fools once again...

What constructive input can come from people being fed up about it?

Wow, that really is a big difference. The textures are very soft in comparison!

I'm just checking out the on the lettering on the dials and also the top of the control column. That's a big difference in definition!

It seems that to increase the frame-rate they have decided to remove all the beauty, like clouds, grass, textures....so removing 50% of the items it came with should increase the frame-rate by 50%?

Not the best way of fixing it surely?

BTW, for the "audience", they did not remove the textures to improve the performance, how this can even be true if the textures are there in the 70 FOV view ?

The textures still there even in the 90 FOV, if you use the offset button and move forward the mouse they will be visible :



The problem its just that the range of the new texture manager is to short in cockpit view while you are using the 90 FOV.

This make me wonder even if our "beloved audience" have played the game or just go here to throw his "invaluable comments".
