Patch 70

[100Coogn]

I have anti aliasing on high, but I still see a stair-step effect.  The prop is very noticeable.
(not complaining just reporting)

For those getting CTD i found a fix for it (i think)...go into your graphics cards settings and set anti ailising and graphics options back to the original sertings. I was having the same issue and i set everything back to stock and i have had no problems with it. ..

Mine were original to start with for alpha testing.

I haven't tested all the guns on the CV yet but the twin 5" guns on the cruiser a reversed (if you click the front one you end up in back).

Also I and seeing some weird water splashes happening above the water at the carrier deck level.

FOV 120 clips the CV.

In the remote chance this is useful, in my four CTDs:

Updated to Patch 70 w/o issue................

Went in Alpha Video Settings & set AA to None as per instructions (assuming we're testing post processing AA or shader AA)........

Checked in Graphics Details to ensure AA was checked....while in here I reset all sliders full right.

Went up & flew around....the new AA was working very well on my box..........looked just as good if not slightly better than what the game looked like using the original AA Most setting in Video Settings.....frame rates held very well.

Was stuttering a little worse when flying very low over the terrain in this mode than before (I left the checkbox unchecked for "Disable Ground Clutter when in Flight" for initial test....went back in & checked this checkbox & retested.....all ran very smooth afterwards regardless.

Here is a snippet of the FuryX's vitals during this test run:



Noticed the vid card mem usage went down some 200+ Mb when new enabled AA is being used vs the original AA which unloaded the GPU usage load some as well though GPU clocks were pegged at full 1050MHz.

Looking good so far.......................... ..using Cat WHQL 15.7.1 drivers...................... .....

Patch online updater worked fine.

CV AA (5-inch) operated lethally.  This is strange because I am a famously bad shot.

No graphics problems noted.  My current Nvidia settings give the application full control.

The world of AH3 is still a thing a beauty.

Will fly more tomorrow.

This is in regards to my original post... Ports are slewed off canter ..

The rotation points of the hands on the CV clock not centered with clock face.
All the hands on the clock are not centered with the clock face or aligned with each other.

CV Operations: Seafire Mk IIc
During the takeoff roll the aircraft breaks apart near the aft deck elevator.  Once launch to the deck and engine is running, advancing the throttle slightly will cause the aircraft to back up – as it should.  The aircraft will roll back a couple of feet and "fall" off a small step.  Advancing the throttle to takeoff, the aircraft will roll forward and then break apart.  I have had a situation where the aircraft will not move forward at full throttle as if caught on something.

CV Operations: Sea Hurrican Mk I
There is a constant wheel chatter and shacking of the plane when first launched to the deck.  Moving the plane slightly will cause it to stop.  Moving the plane back on the initial spot will cause the chatter again.  The attached image shows the aircraft tilted to the left as if the left main wheel is sitting in a hole.  The aircraft is chattering with the left wheel stationary but the right wheel is spinning as if rolling along the deck.

The reflections on the inside of the canopy are turning with the aircraft.
I noticed it while flying the F6F off the CV.  It is most noticeable with a dark background like the ocean.  Turning the aircraft to the left would cause the reflections to rotate to the left.  The attached image is looking left but the reflection is of the windshield, gunsight, and stopped prop.  Was using CV20 on its default course which is close to north.  The image was taken after turning about 90 degrees left on an easterly heading.  Turning left for about another 90 degrees, the reflection in the left view will rotate to show the right wing.

Graphic Detail Setting for reflections not being honored when first entering the game and after changing fields.
Going Options > Graphic Detail and placing a check in the Disable Reflection box will turn off the reflections in the tower windows.  Clicking OK does save the settings.  However, the reflections in the windows will return when you move to a different field.  Opening the Graphic Detail settings will show there still is a checkmark in the Disable Reflection box.  The reflections will also return if you restart the game.

Downloaded,, looks great , no problem!  Cv looks awesome!
taking off from Cv deck in FM2 is rough but possible, also took of in P-38  same thing,, deck surface very rough but possible!
shooting at fuel factory with FM-2 guns, causes damage but no visible impacts on objects,, the rounds look to pass all the way through!

Tailwheel on the F4U's has the axle off center.

Chair on the CV bridge clips at FOV 120.

Taking off and landing on the CV work normally. After rolling off the bow and crashing, launching to the deck put me below deck and crashing. Moving to a field and back to the CV let me launch to the deck. Arrestor cables are pretty bumpy, hopped the tailwheel on a slow taxi and destroyed an F6F. Bumps don't seem consistent, some you don't notice and some move you.

Update installed and ran fine.  As reported previously unable to get off carrier in spit due to undercarriage collapsing.

In the CV bridge, all the reflections were moving as the carrier group turned, they should be static, since what is being reflected is not moving relative.

Very interesting bug, manned the 5" and sank the CV beneath me.  However I remained in a ghost 5" travelling above the water, able to carry on fireing.  I towered, and then was able to select the quad 40mm and again, manned a ghost gun.  The gun emplacements are not marked as destroyed with the ship.

No matter what I try I get a ctd when I try to launch a plane (ahalpha. exe stop responding).
Tried a fresh install, set all settings to default, and still no joy.

flew online flag server
flew off cv in an F4, everything I saw was good, finished. 40fps ave
flew several passes of cv.
All settings at default, AA was nice, nice clean edges.
sat the guns, only issue I saw was the 20mm gun on cv. you got no seen hits thru the sight, outside sight good.

I had fun with the guns. I sank 2 destroyers and a cruiser from the cv, blew the piss out of them, great fun. I attacked the cv from a cruiser and the cruiser sank. he he  nice the way they titanic and slip under the waves, a serious cv map with some large fleet interactions would be a real sweet deal.

the sun was a bit much. great idea but boy..........................
