ok....I'm a newbie with this game...how the heck do u do a verify integrity to get back to the last copy before the beta if u screw up?

look... to be frank, with the patching process in Beta, the sim should be patched up without mods of any kind. It should be vanilla for patching... then if that is working for you, then go about reinstalling mods - albeit one at a time and test at each mod install

My initial observations:

I'm running mostly medium settings on a middle-of-the-road PC
i7 920 @ 2.7Ghz
Ati 4890 1Gb
3GB of RAM
Win7 64-bit

I cleared cache, installed, ran a quick mission and flew around for a couple of minutes to rebuild the cache, exited and restarted the sim.

It certainly seems smoother overall, even at lower altitudes. I didn't do any number crunching yet with FPS counters, but it feels fluid and nice.

The tracers are visible at longer ranges (ricochets were already in the sim, possibly from the start, but tracer view distance is much improved in this patch).

I found one bug: the bombsight view gives some weird artifacts on the part of the screen that is outside the aiming reticule/scope. Instead of being black (the "border" of the screen around the scope), it is light gray and clouds show through it. At one point, the sea was invisible and i could see the sea floor through the bombsight

Finally, THE JU88 HAS A WORKING GYROCOMPASS!!! AWWWW YEAAAAHH
I tested it and the autopilots now work correctly (both modes). Later on i will test if the bombsight calculation algorithms are corrected as well, so that we can finally level bomb in it.

ATAG bomber flights during the weekend anyone ?

Are you 100% sure? I've done a lot a missions just randomly shooting at the ground and I don't think I've ever seen a ricochet until this patch (I was flying the G.50), but that doesn't mean it wasn't there

Hm when i fly through clouds (just tested quick mission over France on very cloudy at 1500m) i get an initial fps drop of 40 percent but then the fps are going up again! Its ok now for me at least! What i dont like is that after ending the mission WIN 7 asked me if i wanted to change to Win basic color scheme because the system is low on memory!


I SMELL A MEMORY LEAK!

Not necesarily. The W7 basic color scheme is a requirement to avoid CTD flying COD since the beggining
