Unless your monitor is old and cant go higher u would gain massivly from choosing higher res instead of low res and 8xAA

1360x768 is the native res of my 32" LCD. I cannot select a higher res, nor should I need to

The pic below is in Stock Il2-1946 at the same res with real 8xAA

Cheers, Neil

Full screen still dont work i still see desktop when exiting a mission etc same as the beta's before, when i put key inputs in now, i hear ding! from my desktop as i push the key press.

The picture attached shows a comparison between the two sims, 8xAA definately looks better in the IL2 shot

Both at 1360x768 resolution.

Cheers, Neil

now for the first time,full screen dont seem to work a bit.if i want to end a mission with hitting escape,it will bring me to desktop.so i have to end the game with task manager.

...but why this? I never (since vanilla version) experienced this problem, is it matter of HW or OS? The only problem I have is exit from MP session, when I hit exit button nothing happens; I can't return to initial menu (single mission, campaign etc..);

What is reaaaaaly weird, sometimes when i launch a game i got really steady 60FPS without rubberband in Cross-Country, sometimes after a game launch i got 35-37 in same settings in the exatly same place on the runway, so grass is not the reason.

I mean i start a game first go to crosscountry, i got about 35-37 with rubberband, i quit start the game again and i got steady 60fps without rubberband and silky smooth, when it's smooth my TiR is really smooth too, really strange behaviour, just look like there is something trigger what sometimes go on and sometimes not go on. not smooth, restart, yeah smooth without touch on settings.

Another examble, i go first Cross-country, get steady 60fps, then i go to london, very bad stuttering, quit flight and go back straight to Cross-country, really bad stuttering first and then steady 35-37 again with rubberband, so before london it was steady 60 and really smooth.

Memory ???

I can alt tab to Win and back i use Fullscreen and v-Sync.

Looking better, now i get steady good FPS at all time, as long i avoid London.

If i fly London sometime and go back to Cross-country or England i don't get good FPS anymore in there, 30-37. So all is good as long i don't go London.

Actually really good performance now. Freeflight France is laggy too, those factoryareas.

As mentioned before, on airstarts there is no FF Centering Spring at all, some tight G turns and they come.

Yes, I can also confirm this since the beta patch where they added FFB support. My joystick is a Microsoft Force Feedback 2. Also, sometimes FFB is lost in the middle of a flight until you make some tight G turns again.

i dont know why!?i dont know if it worked before the official patch,but at least i had no problems.now if i want to quit a mission,it brings me back to my desktop.no matter how often i try it.


before i stated, that im not sure if i see a difference in the lightening.i flew now some missions at 5 and 6am and there you can clearly see that they changed the lightening.but in my opinion it looked better the way it was before.i hate to be that negative but this patch is actually three steps backwards.
-prop pitch not working
-more stutters(i even turned down buildings detail to medium now to see if there is an improvement.but with the beta patch i had it set to very high,and there were less stutters than now with medium detail)
-ugly lightening(of course thats only my opinion).
i would be interested about other experiences with the new lightening.is it just me or was it better the way it was before the official patch?
