After all the patches,what have ya got?

[Rebel]

I'm lovin it. 

Not a killer rig, but I get steady 40-50 framerates which is rock solid with no stutters-

AMD64 x2 4200+, 2 gigs of RAM, Radeon 4850, SB Audigy 4. 

Gorgeous game now.  Very, VERY cool.

I think what you've got is a company who are busting a gut to satisfy as many of their customers as possible

o will you STOP!!!!!!

 how dare you come in and answer a question with common sense?

I have uber shadow effects and perfect clouds with the update. FR went from 60 to about 44. That is not so bad considering that my monitor goes jittery above 60 Frames and the human eye can't really tell the diference past about 45. The refresh rate, or whatever its called, tops out at 60, but sometimes it acts like it went over the limit and jumps around like this ---->    until I bump it down to 59 in the control panel menu and then bring it back to 60. It did that in the old version, too. I have no complaints at the moment except that I have been picked while looking around at the new eye candy.

new patch still stutters for me same system near youRs ID
hope htc fixes it soon never had this stutter in this or anyother game till the new update

Hope so for you too TB. I've been happy to say that I have experienced almost no issues in any update whatsoever, and I'm even on a dreaded VISTA machine. But I feel bad for those who have =(

Happent to play AH in a High end comp couple weeks ago. I was flying high at about 15K and the top of the mountains just looked amazing, fantastic. Never had the Chance of see such an improvement. I think the HTC staff did a great work. There are many things left to be done but this a great improvement. Maybe next time the flight model will improve -the usual whine of mine- that will make the planes more "heavy" and not the ultralight version that exist today especially with  the spixteen. One more thing maybe HTC could make some earcandy improvements. I know that all engines have the same sound. I think in this point HTC can make some differences with the engine sound to varies with the exact type of aircraft  we fly and improvements in gun sound also, especially those of 20mm.

Three words for you...custom...sound...pack.

I have some files you could use that are plane/engine specific...allison, jumo, rolls royce...even gun sounds that are specific to the weapon type.

You can get ear candy sound packs from the sounds and skins forum.

For those who might think these updates provided no improvement in graphics I took a few screenshots today:







I don't remember the last version looking like this.

  I was flying lancs low over the water and was mesmerized at the reflection of the bombers in the water. Very Cool.  You have some nice senery to look at now during those long flights.

Patch 6 fixed the AMD issue that forced you to use compatibility mode.  FPS is much better so far.

I figured it was an AMD issue.

Logged in today and used the new patch (6) to a very satisfactory end.  Very happy to see the improvement, steady FR and no stutters with the detail turned ON. A week ago, I couldn't up with massive stutters and a FR of 5, with detail off.
