B33 bugs list

[flakbait]

FR limiter doesn't work. Setting it to 45 in either the in-game Vid options or the Vid setup on start has no effect. Same goes for the "60" limit.

Changing Vid Settings no longer makes the game go to a white screen (yay!) or hang until you smack the Windoze key to wake the game up. Changes take place immediately with nary a stutter.

CTD after 20 minutes of play. Reboting the game resulted in a good hour of play, and then a second CTD. No error was displayed at any time.

Many graphics bugs relating to the Z-buffer still aren't resolved. The texture under bases and strat objects still winks out or graduates into or out of view. Same goes for transtions, coastline, taxiways, and runways. These same textures can be seen through hills (especially field/strat base tex).

Frame rates were very nice: 32 down on the deck in a -9U, in the 70's over water, 52 over land above 2,500 AGL.

New texture loading technique does not eliminate the stutter when closing on an aircraft for the first time.

Lightly tapping the Hurricane I's left wing on a hangar (accident) resulted in an instant death. Ground speed was less than 5mph. Attempting to ditch a 109F4 with a dead engine resulted in an instant death on ground contact. This was N of V2 on the central island. Airspeed at touchdown was 105mph when the aircraft contacted one of the small "bumps" in the terrain, resulting in aircraft detonation. What happened to the more forgiving collision model?

M3 shocks allow the tracks and tires to move through the entire model when coming into contact with any terrain bump. Seeing them above the Ma Deuce turret was somewhat funny, but also a glaring error.

Definitely not a kind update for me.  Still hanging a bit to get in.  The white screen occurred everytime I changed video settings, completely froze the computer.  Had to reboot from the power button to get up and running again.  FR definitely lower in 33 build than 30.

On the plus side, the freezes seemed a lot less when around other aircraft.  Don't know if that's due to the game update or the new drivers I installed for the ATI Radeon per Skuzzy.

Rgr, spoke too soon on that one. The first time I ran B33 it didn't pull the white screen. When I ran it again a few minutes ago it did. I hit the Windoze key, moved the mouse all the way down and clicked on the AH2 bar on the taskbar. That woke it up.

Also...

A12 has a phantom strat object just S of it. According to the map there's a strat base at that location; according to my eyes there isn't.

Load lag for aircraft isn't gone at all. This is the third time I've run B33, and all three times there was a hard snag when I closed to 500 yards on any drone.

British boost gages need fixing. The needle is pointing 270, indicating negative boost levels, at all times. The Hurricane boost levels only hit 0; you have to use WEP to get above 0lbs of boost. As a side note: all manifold pressure (vacuum) gages should show field barrometric pressure when the engine is off.

I was fine BEFORE I had to install the 33 update.  I have no DAR indications at all.  No Dotdar, No darbar..  And friendly field icons are showing up red.  No flashing or enemy near by.  The field text is green though.  
I completely removed my Radeon 9800 drivers and ran Driver Cleaner # before reinstalling the newest driversand ATI control panel.  Still having problems.

Any suggestions???

Pyro, kill off the pre-trim please. Either the aircraft are being improperly pre-trimmed for takeoff or combat trim is setting the trim tabs even though I have it turned off. Instead of dialing in the right amount of trim on an axis or two, I have to re-trim the whole aircraft before starting my takeoff run. Not one plane is being pre-trimmed correctly; the Corsair is trimmed full nose up (BIG no-no!) with full LEFT rudder. The P-40's have a little nose up but full right aileron and half left rudder dialed in. Every aircraft is affected and not one is correct! This bug has been around since before B20 and it was never killed.

That appears to be a map bug as everyone is seeing the same tthing

On load and switching chat window to full causes this to happen.

A few more...

P-40E drop tank flickers when viewed head-on. The prop blur is causing this. Also there's some flickering on the canopy rails just ahead of the gunsight.

Ju-88 cockpit is transparent when viewed from head-on. All interior panels are see-through.

FR strike around a fleet is outrageous! Even with none of the ships in view I'm seeing an FR of 12. On deck it drops as low as 9. This means either the minimum spec was way off, or AH2 needs some optimization in the ship department. I'm running 1024 rez 32bit with 512 textures.

A6M2 drop tank can be selected but isn't loaded on the plane.
