Text has black blocks around it?  

Took up a 109... first thing I did was attempt the hammerhead... that tail kicks around FAST.  

I love it.

Icemaw,

I tried it with .303s from a spit V.   Put about 20 hits in all over a P51 at close range then pulled right up and took a screenie.....No discernable damage.

:(

No zekes here yet.   Only109G10, Fw190A5, Spit 5 and 9, P51B and D, Goon, M3, Pz4, Tiger available.

I used .303s from Spit5.. no visible damage.   Drones (still P51Ds) disappear.  But I did notice the "damage bubble" or whatever HTC uses, seems to be a little more refined and harder to score hit sprites.  I think gunnery will be a bit different.  

The FM rocks so far.  Edge of envelope flight is nice.  190a5's roll rate is VERY fast.  That thing will dance like mad.  SpitV's rate of turn (in degrees per second) feels a lot faster at slower speeds.  Cant wait to see the F4U's :)

I *am* getting some funky jumping textures every once nad a while.  Looks as if the skin of the a/c is moving around.  Can't seem to tweak my settings to get rid of black-boxy text.

New gunnery seems much much better!  Very similar feel to WW2OL and IL2FB - good! :)

With all graphics settings maxed out, I'm getting a minimum of about 20fps.  This is with 2 or more drones in view and lots of ground details visible. When looking up, I get 85 fps, which is limited by my monitor refresh rate.  Scissoring around the drones and shooting them, the frame rate is usually around 25-35.

Like I said, this is with all the AH2 graphics settings maxed out, horizon fog distance at the maximum 17 miles (default is 10 miles), using 1600x1200x32bit, 2xFSAA.  Lowering the horizon fog distance naturally improves the results.

I have a P4-2.53GHz, Radeon 9700 Pro (Omega Catalyst 3.6 drivers), 1GB DDR.
