......BadBud is back flying and killing those nasty huns while trying to ignore the checkerboard ground effect since patch. Got so iritated that I gave RoF up for awhile, but couldn't stay pissed for long and am now back to enjoying the fight again. I just (for now) don't start a mission on the ground, land or crash(LOL). And it looks good........except for the color that sometimes gets messed a little on the AI planes. Might even buy the new Fokker now that I have tempered my feelings about the patched bad graphics. (I know that my PC specs are below the minimum for RoF). Hope that the rest of you sim pilots having the checkerboad effect have gotten beyond it and are back to enjoying the fight again. I am still holding out hope that future patches might fix the problem. They do listen to us.

I care, BadBud. And I'm trying to fly through it, too.

Nevertheless, it irks me whenever I look at some of the beautiful screenshots that I took pre-1.011 patch with the gorgeous landscape WITHOUT the checkerboard effect. See below:



As compared to now:



And, of course, you gotta LOVE the new shimmering effect on the lozenge-camo DVII (as well as all of the other planes, but this one just happens to be the worst IMHO):



Minimum specs be dashed! They've added something with this patch that's causing this. I wish they'd fix it, too...but I doubt they will. Our cards are below spec, and I'm still waiting on a response to my post over at the neoqb forum.

Who knows, though...they might. They've been good to us so far, right? Regardless, I'm still gonna look into upgrading my processor to a quad core along with a better graphics card.

PM one of the developers over there? Their forum nicknames are in green text

Looks dire kick up a fuss, elevate it

As it's you I've elevated your report to the neoqb team Dumbo because that would give me grief. A tidy lawn is one thing but-

Goes to my theory that the least expensive part of a flight simulation is the flight simulation itself.

We really are collectively a bunch of big goofballs. We gripe over having to pay less than eight bucks to fly a Nieuport 17 and then spend two hundred on a HOTAS or a video card.

You got it Dart, thats why instead of paying $199.00 for a game console (Thats tooo much ) I spent $3500.00 on a gaming rig...

If it was Fenway Park or Yankee Stadium we'd all be oooooohing and aaaahhhhhhhng.

That's nasty in the distance. Couple that with the shimmering that some experience and that has to be very difficult on the eyes.

THANKS, MING!

Consoles are quite expensive though....I mean they cost nearly as much as a Graphics card

The price is irrelevant when the content and controls suck.
