Real pilots are providing input. in this case the input comes from a current Spitfire MKVII and MKXVI pilot.

It wouldn't surprise me if the original tacho needles bounced too much, but regardless, most people are just saying they want realistic dials. We're not stating what realistic dials should look like, just saying that we want them to be realistic.

The devs have direct access to a number of current warbird pilots.

So you're saying that the original release, with bouncing needles was inaccurate - but you're also saying that the devs have access to current warbird pilots, which suggests that the bouncing needles were accurate (they didn't code it for a laugh did they).

interesting reports from SimHQ

I went from "not struggling" to "rather struggling" with this patch. Go figure. I had gotten the game to play quite fluidly (London was even playable) using the nossao mod. Now with this latest patch I get a definite rubberbanding effect. Not really stutters per say but the frames are sped up and than slowed down. I revert/re install the previous "parts" folder and the game is fluid again. Maybe I should not fix what isn't really broke but I would like to run the latest version so I can do multiplayer.

The patch makes things worse for me.

Missing buildings
Unable to change buildings amount in video options. I can change it in the optins but it does nothing in game.
Much lower FSP over towns.

Very poor patch on my system.

There is something problems with building density, sometimes when i chance graphic options my building is all gone, then i go back and put Unlimited then buildings is back, then i go back and put high and they are all there again, but something problem there really is. i see it works when it works and i don't make chances anymore.

The same applies to the grass. It seems that fiddling with the advanced graphics options within the game will remove the animated grass.

No FPS change for me; if anything, a very miniscule decrease in overall performance. All settings on medium apart from Plane detail on high & buildings amount & detail on low. 2X AA (Grass & Shadows checked, Roads & Epilepsy Filter unchecked).
Before patch: Cross Country Quick mission Taxi, Takeoff & Quick Circuit gave me between 35-49 FPS (Average 31)
Latest Beta Patch with the same quick mission: Between 26-38 FPS (Av. 23).

the config.ini doesn't seem to save until the sim is exited from... so change your video settings, exit the sim and restart it - see that makes a difference to what you report

"So you're saying that the original release, with bouncing needles was inaccurate"

Yes

- but you're also saying that the devs have access to current warbird pilots,

Yes, who didnt get to see the bouncing needles until release.

which suggests that the bouncing needles were accurate

No it doesn't. The bouncing needles were a coders "interpretation" or his idea of what it should look like and was not referred to subject matter experts before release. If it had been we wouldn't be having this discussion.

(they didn't code it for a laugh did they).

Not worthy of a response.

I just find that incredibly surprising. The developers have gone to huge lengths to try and simulate several old warbirds, from their flight model, weapons, engine, damage model as well as how it all looks in cockpit. I'd fully understand if the degree to which they bounced was wrong or up for debate, but I'm amazed they came up with this idea that the needles bounce if they never did.
