BETA PATCH v.1.08.18956 - August 3, 2012

[priller26]

I suppose after reverting to the clean install (verifying game) we should also delete cache, and let the new patch create a new cache file? Just curious, want to install properly. Many thanks.

I'm currently downloading one of the links and the torrent (which I shall seed)... so it's a matter of seeing which one downloads first. Ah the joys of fibre-optic broadband. lol

The last hot fix had a lot more downloads than I thought possible. Lot of lurkers out there waiting for finished product. "If you build it they will come."

Yes and I am one. Downloading now. I will not post unless I have a problem that can not be fixed by following instructions or by reading through the forums to solve any problems I may be having. If I find a fix for a problem I would post it, but most of the time the fix has already been posted by some one else. By the time I finish the download, go out to lunch with my son, there will be many who have installed the beta and reported back, for that I thank you.

No changes in performance whatsoever when comparing to settings prior to this newest patch. Still clamped at 27fps. Shame on me for getting my hopes up.

[DB605]

Runs smoother than before, less stutters even all settings on max. Everything seems to work. Unfortunately still ruined db 601 sounds (fly-by and outboard, cockpit is ok), i was hoping (and still hope) they were only temporary with last beta patch and old, near perfect sounds would be back

[Bounder!]

Can't say the patch improved my frame rates as CoD has been perfectly smooth for me for some time but a lot of people were reporting better performance on ATAG last night which is great. My initial findings playing online last night:

- Grass still modeled in hangers.
- Trees seem to be fixed, no popping in and out but I still get a slight shimmer on trees and buildings possibly from anti aliasing.
- Dust cloud on the ground on take off seem smaller than before.
- Sounds seem a bit better overall although on startup the Spitfires engine is still silent until the engine has warmed up a bit.
- Small caliber hits on my Spit are back which is great (forgot how nice those bullet holes look )
- Spitfire seems to handle a bit different at low speed, feels heavier when coming into land and requires more throttle than before to keep it in the air on approach to landing.
- Spitfire 1a and 2a now have variable mixture and now work like the Rotol. From the cockpit the orange exhaust flame seems harder to see than it used to be many patches ago. Spits require mixture management now or they overheat pretty quickly at mid-high altitude.
