Outstanding job, HTC! The doppler effect external sounds are amazing. I spent more time in the tower watching (and listening to!) planes roll by than I did flying. Still haven't spotted any trains and convoys -they must not last too long in the hectic MA.
My system took a frame rate hit too, and is getting near playability limits (15-25 fps). But I'm not concerned yet - I haven't tried any of the tweaks that I've heard are listed in the beta forum, and you guys have always added a patch or two in the past to improve frame rates when a new release has been hard on them. I run a PIII 500 MHZ, 128Meg RAM, Viper 770 TNT 32 Mb vidcard, DX 8.0.
To others suffering from frame rate hits - its to early to throw in the towel. Wait at least a week for any patches, and go give some of those tweaks a try! Let us know what your results are.
So congratulations, HTC, and thank you! You guys set the standard for smooth Production releases.
