(the meshshowlod is a nasty work around mention months ago, but creates significant other problems, its a hack not a fix )

What kind of "significant other problems"?

So I've been waiting and waiting to buy this game....for it to be a playable, enjoyable game. Are we there yet? From posts it looks like FPS issue is fixed, most graphics glitches are fixed, most serious FM issues fixed, and (I think except for medium settings) LOD bugs fixed. What does the community think?

We are half way. The game is playable, even enjoyable, but still quite different from the initial (high) expectations, and still plagued with major defects for a sim, e.g.:

- FM major issues such as the ceiling height some 30% less than the historical data, the lack of a dynamic stall or the absent/too low drag penalization for radiators and open canopies, speeds not conform to the historical tests (Bf-110 C7 for instance, Fiat G.50)
- Some annoying graphic bugs such as the disappearing planes at certain distances, the removal of important effects as the hit-flashes of bullets, the flickering tree shadows
- Some immortal bugs as the sound radar and others

But the good news is that the enterprise is alive and working with some 50 people to the next project, and CloD will benefit by the improvements of the new series as well, if you buy the new game of course.

Cheers!

Is this the LOD issue only on medium detail settings or something different?

Well I think it's a good sign when this thread is actually talking about the game instead of the developers. I gotta admit, online has definitely gotten more interesting with some of the fixes.

Exactly. If somebody could be bothered to plot it I am sure they would find a direct correlation between satisfaction with patch performance and RvB noise on the forum. Good to see!

It is a good sign,I have to admit,I'd written this off,after months of fixes not accomplishing anything positive in the way of the F/M's I was getting pretty hacked off with the whole thing.

Then on hearing positive stuff coming from guys on here re the last fix,I thought ok let's fire it up again,and give it a go.I also got a nudge at the same time to try the fix from my Squadron Leader,he deserves a medal for his patience and commitment for the way he has kept my interest alive.

So today I took my first flight in over 4 months and wow,it was like a eureka moment,it works for me now,the Hurricane fly's like a dream now.

I love the Hurricane always have,and expect always will,as allready mentioned above the fixes just were'nt bringing me any joy,in fact it seemed to me the Hurricane FM was just getting worse!

I was amazed at how much the devs have improved it,especially power,boy is that an improvement,and the graphical cockpit gliches have gone.

Yes,I can honestly say that I enjoyed my flight for once,that has'nt happened in a long time,thanks Luthier and team,you are getting this sorted.

Performance is down and ground stutters worse for me on this patch, noticed barrage balloons now drop to the ground after they have been destroyed , if a bit to slow in my opinion.

Proccessor Intel Quad Q9650 3.Ghz
