JasonPSage Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Hi Folks, First let me say I can't believe I got this game for $20.00 at BestBuy! What a deal! So I don't have the fastest rig (dual core, decent nVidia card though) - and version 1.0 ran awesome - but of course I looked for and installed the patch - but the game play SEEMED to get rougher framerate wise... hmm.. so I'm currently done deactivating and uninstalling and now I'm reinstalling v1.0 fresh. Could be my system just needed a reboot - but I'm going to see if the difference is real. Regardless - I'm very impressed so far. Being the "Sim" fan I am - I went right to real flight mode after only a couple flights (Once I saw I could pitch down and not "fly down hill" I knew I had to turn off easy flight model! LOL - Now it's HARD! But that's cool - I'll figure it out. I think the folks who made this game are simply awesome! (I'm a developer myself - and a game hobby coder) so I have a pretty good idea what's involved - Wow - Good Job folks! Well - I'm a pretty busy guy so I don't know how much stick time I'll be able to get in the near future but I can say I'm going to try! This game simply rocks! --Jason
JasonPSage Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 Yeah - on my xp32 box, version 1.0 runs faster than 1.0.1 patch. bummer too in a way because I wanted all the new media packaged up in the patch :) --Jason
StrongHarm Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 After a good deal of research I was able to double my FPS and decrease the CPU load while making the sim look even better. Check out thread http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=49041&page=2#18 It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm
