BETA PATCH v.1.08.18956 - August 3, 2012

[Ahmsteen]

Spit is now good turn and good climb again, BF109 is also lose energy and speed just a simple horizontal turn and so quick stall when firing cannons, its really like this in real life.?.This is so absurd i think, Stall when firing cannons i just turning a little hard maybe but not like spit's hard turn and i get so easily stall thing , it seems that we can only fly straight a head and climb and run..not try to turn a little also ....İts annoying

Stuka is still made of nickel-plated carbon fibre. How can a hurrican offload all it's ammo into a stuka, at closing ranges, and still it flys on! ???

Funny i didn't hear any great hits like spits V He111 ?

Maybe the default ammo for the Hurris in the V stuka scenario are rubber bullets!

+100 on the Stukas.

Don't think that they were flying tanks in reality. Thought they had a reputation as 'easy meat'.

Also what is going on with collisions? Every time I collide with another plane my aircraft is blown to smithereens while the enemy plane loses an aileron at most and flys on??!!

they put out things just to see how this patch performs [i hate that...]
personally i don't think that we are going to see the big patch anytime soon
to busy with BoM

Slightly slower on FPS , studders on anything above medium, ground textures awful at medium setting , but no crashes on exit of single play or leaving the game in any setting.
Xfire performance poor at best.
Well done for stopping the crashes .

Patch worked as advertised. The graphical see thru in the cockpit glitch in the Hurricane and the 109 is gone. No more tree popping and the shimmering shadows under the trees are less annoying. I'm getting the same 45-60 fps frame rate but at the highest setting instead of medium. Looking forward to the next patch.

"they put things in just to see how this patch performs" well that the whole point of a "beta" patch, you change things with the intention of making it perform better and have the community beta test the changes. Thats a good thing, not something you should hate.

"to busy with BOM" not likely, the beta patches are a much higher priority as they know full well no one will buy BOM unless the patches fix good portion of the performance and gameplay issues.

I realized while testing, that the only major impossible FPS hog is still the shadows. Even at low groun shading and no trees I get micro stutters (everything else low), whereas with shadows off I have totally smooth gameplay with everything high except trees. (SSAO off, AA2x original textures).

So, fix the shadows or let us turn off ground shadows and leave cockpit shadows on. Else performance wise it is great after this patch,

i5-2500K 4,7, GTX480, 4G ram

Edit: trees are also FPS hog, but they are usable at lower levels and they can be turned off if needed. But a slight rework would be also greatly appreciated.

i guess you're right Chivas

Visual Effects causes the big fps drop over Dover on ATAG. You have to set it to low. Medium is not enough.
The other issue is still clouds. Over cloud base the fps drops to half.
Please fix
