OLD BETA patch 14413 - May 4, 2011(!!!) - do not install!

[hockeywarrior]

I'm having a weird issue with this patch (and the previous one) where my FPS will be chugging along just fine, and then for no reason at all, regardless of whats happening on screen, it will dip into the single digits for a few seconds to a few minutes and then randomly switch back. I know it's nothing on my PC that's causing this issue.

Also, the CEM RPM bug remains on the Spitfire and other planes. The AI also still pulls wildly impossible maneuvers. Oh and of course voice commands do not work.

I hope all of these things are on the to do list for the next patch. Especially the CEM bug, which is a game-breaker.

Took a hit on performce with this one too, only slight but it's still there.

Also, screenshots do not work in proper fullscreen mode.

Was the patch pulled? Megaupload doesn't work and torrent has no seeders...

Much better performance for me after terrible Beta2 what was unplayable for me because terrible stutter. It stutter with this patch too but it's really playable. TextureFlickering is not here anymore like it was Beta2. Only groundshadows flickers same way as allways, it's looking so bad i disable them, it's shame that it disables worderful cockpit shadows too

Now with Fullscreen = on at least my Vsync is now working correctly too, no tearing anymore like i had before this patch.

Looking good.

Initial impressions, I got extra 5 FPS after patch. I only had a quick sightseer tour of London but all seems good.
Cannot exit MP had to use taskmanager.
Lost sound in MP (could be my PC but never happened b4)
Got spit to 22000ft,

Perhaps my moderate rig an Nvidia card just hit the sweetspot,

What i just noticed, now with mirror on i got terrible stutter, when i turn it off stutter go away right away?? not that problem before, i usually fly without mirror but i have tested it before and no stuttering with mirror then, now when i put mirror on, terrible stutter, when i disable it stutter is away again right away. So all who got stutter now try disable mirror.

I've seen a few people write about disabling the mirror, but I have not seen an option on any of the menus to do so. Can you explain?

Default key to switch mirror modes is "m", there tree modes full/low quality/off

The mirror is draging the GPU a lot, so if you are short of GPU power disable it.
