My vid card is a 9500 softmodded to a 9700 using the Omega Drivers.

Love the new tracers ... less obtrusive and busy when firing.




I have no clipboard problems ...




Flying into the sun causes too much washout IMHO ... don't know what to suggest here. I know you want to the sun to be a factor, but it needs to be toned down a bit. Also, I get a flickering when flying into the sun. These shots were at sunset.



and when you bring up the clipboard, well ...




Framerates are still solidly high and video transition is as smooth as AH I while flying and fighting. I did get one small freeze today when merging with another plane.

Sun still flickers thru the P38s prop.

I had a half-dozen or so fights with Zanth and everything was smooth. Love it when the Icons disappear when flying just over the tree canopies.

Did have one funny thing happen with the trees. Zanth and I were in a death circle (whoever straightens out first dies) ... riding the tops of the trees, my right wing hit the canopy and flipped me up and straight (I lose) with no loss or damage to the wing/tip.

When in the hanger, I could see the trolleys and they worked fine for me as opposed to what zanshin reported.

Osti traces looked fine. Panzer tracers looked fine, but there is a definate problem with the pintle gun. Slew the main gun to the rear and then pop into the pintle gun and move it around ... you will see what I mean.

But the explosions are great ....
