Yes you can ! but one must try many power and fuel settings. It is possible.

Hmmm, for me this patch brings nothing! Still flickering shadows, trees are popping on, many graphicbugs, graphics looks ugly imo, fps bad, etc, etc!
I´m deeply disappointed about the beta!
Maybe i´m back in a few month to check the progress, maybe not!

same here you are not the only one !

.
A good point is the ease to direct the Spitfire and Hurricane on the ground now!
The clouds are also very fine in mission medium clouds settings.
Little by little the geme get better.
It is hard work but with the help of every one even the negative ones like the original IL2 it shall get playable for all.

The patch made the game playable for me for sure. The micro stutters are gone.......WAAAYY smoother.........

I've go a low to mid range rig.......

I now have 5 hours offline play (Started a new 3. JG2 campaign from Desastersoft, full real except icons and autopilot on) under the belt with this patch.

* Not a single CTD.
* Fluid fps, with an occasional micro stutter. Full HD, settings maxed out, SSAO off. 2x AA.
* Radio comms still not working. Friendly AI doesn't react to attack commands, landing and takeoff requests. Still missing sound files.
* No F16 barrel rolls encountered.

They are improving.

yes, without SSAO fps are quite good and micro stutters are few... but the drop in quality is huge

Actually I don't see any image degration in flight with SSAO off, so I disabled it.

Just some feedback re frame-rates:

Pre-patch 1.06.17582 - avr 45; max 114; min 5

Post-patch 1.06.17582 - avr 59; max 165; min 5

Post-new core.dll - avr 57: max 175; min 4

Post-patch 1.07.18301 - avr 40: max 115: min 5

Conclusion: reduction in avr & max framerates with latest patch.
