very stable so far
fps about the same but seem more stable
tracers look good
clouds are ok
commands are better, did not test them all
the grill is fired up for lunch...I'll be back!

One of the downloads was about 200 MB rar file, the other a small exe file. Are both needed?

I had only one large file...beware!!!

Use the second mirror.

Use the mirror! There are other mirrors appearing now at the 1c forum. The patch seems to work ok for me, but I had to do a complete reinstall after deleting the game instead of verifying the cache...
Remember its just a beta, for testing, not a cure all patch. They still have a lot of work to do.

Well, im not noticing anything different from the last "beta" to be honest.
Cloud, shadows still pop up. dust, smoke still bring the FPS to single figures. Stutters are still there. graphic glitches in 109 cockpit, PP lever still wrong. Throttle in Spit still twitchy...and so on.

On the upside, no CTD yet and FPS is slightly better.

Just did a quick test flying at rooftop level over London. FPS stayed solid @60fps with vsync ON, everything set to HIGH, @1920x1080. Also I had no microstutters looking over my wingtip at the building going by. Thats a huge improvement. I will test more if I have time tonight.

Chivas, can you test if the tree shadow and LOD pop up is worse? im getting really bad pop up LODs and shadows at about a 1 mile around my aircraft.

Chivas, you've been reporting no problems/stutters for awhile now, at least several patches. Do you have comparison from your 60 fps this patch compared to last beta, or previous release patches? Where is your huge improvement?

Edit: Sorry, just re-read this at work, and given my usual opposition to the "sunshine and rainbows" outlook my favorite poster has, thought this might be construed the wrong way...

But really, Chivas, can you give us some baselines for your previous patches, so we might know how much of an improvement over the no-stutters you already had?
