If this isn't possible, does someone have the maddox.dll from the english version so I can update my game language? (bought it from Russia when it wasn't available at western - loooong ago).

Not sure, but after the last Beta patch was released I did it the other way around, I managed to turn my game into the Russian version! Try it, the worst that can happen is you have to press 'Verify game cache' in steam if it doesn't take.

The best patch I ever seen!

I've gained up to 5 (FIVE) fps! Oh, there are some new bugs, but... 5 fps in 6 months of patch development is simply great!!!! And it is the beta, can't wait for final release of the patch, maybe I can gain others fps!

hi, i installed the patch correctly (I can see it in the right corner)
but when i try to fly (free flight: quick mission) I can hear the engines and so, but I get a black screen or my background of my pc but I can't see myself flying ;(

i think i have direct x 11, could that be a problem?



thx in advance

Nope, i just wish i was one of them. The sim now has gone from being sort of playable online with a crash after 45 mins, at least i could get a sortie in, to being unplayable with a CTD every 10mins.
I know this is a BETA patch but its taken 6 months to get here, what chance of them fixing the multitude of new bugs with in the next 6 months?

They said they tested and fixed what should be the number 1 priority for the so called "rewrite" fix the CTD, everything else is secondary to that.
The patch has given me a slight boost in FPS, though i put that down to them taking out the clouds and making the textures low res.

The major patches so far have...

1st -Screwed the sound (remember having to select no trees to have sound!)
2nd -Fixed sound but introduced the CTD
3rd - Not fixed the CTD and introduced new bugs and taken out clouds and high res textures.

As for adding new features like weather, COOP's, tree collision model, fixed AI commands and the host of other things we need to be added to have a real "BOB" sim, not a snowball chance in hell...none.

Personally i dont think they can fix CLOD and have had a very small number of people working on it for a while but its not the major graphics rewrite they have been telling us, its more of a tweak and stall tactic to get us closer the release of BOM.

6 months to get here? and they say 2 days to fix this and that? they haven't fixed the CTD in 6 months work, yer right.

I dont envy Blacksix's job over the next few weeks but im pretty sure Luthier will be hard to find, apart from a another "im really sorry but making sim is hard, we will fix it, crush everything and blah blah blah"


CLOD is now effectively done, its toast.

Control animations, particularly those regarding the joystick and throttle still animate terribly. This also extends to the ailerons and elevators on aircraft which do not animate at the same FPS as the game which makes the animations jarring to look at compared to the rest of the game.

Whats even more confusing is if the same control such as a throttle is clicked on with the mouse and dragged, it animates smoothly. If the same control is linked to a throttle controller and moved, it animates at a slower rate and looks very poor.

This will be especially noticable to more people as they achieve better FPS now than before. It really should be fixed, I'm on the verge of putting up a comparison video comparing it to other recent flight simulators to show just how jarring and poor the animations look.

Too many other miscellaneous issues or WIP elements to really make a proper comment on the rest of the patch. From the looks of things its primarily to check for serious stability issues, which is ok by me. I just hope all these miscellaneous issues are cleared up before a proper release.

They must have meant the final patch when they said everything will look the same but with better performance, right? Because I'm looking at a somewhat increased performance but at the cost of seriously downgraded visual fidelity. Pop-up clouds? WTH! Will wait until the final version of the patch before passing judgment though.

Bad times.

You can't imagine how happy I am with the patch, no CTDs, higher FPS, more sounds, working AI commands.
This patch has been a a godsend for me and the other guys in our flying group.

If you really would like to fly the sim, I would suggest you to ask guys on ATAG's TS3 channel who do have the game good an running to help you with the install. Some guys I know thought they had the patch installed good but ultimately didn't, and after they did it right they were flying happy without CTDs and same or higher FPS.

Also, try different settings, be sure to turn off trees and grass, as they would cause stutters and bad performance according to the devs.

Thanks for the suggestion but I think I'll wait to turn CloD in to Flight Simulator 95 until the devs have fixed those "small" niggles "in a few days".
