Just had a sortie on ATAG with new patch with about 60 on the server !....I left all my settings the same(high).Forests look great,graphics overall are fantastic.Had a slight stutter when engaging 7 Do 17s but I still was able to shoot one down and damage another.Please note I only tried one plane (Spit2a) but all seemed well again ! Hope to hear more positive outcomes ! ~S~

Working well in SP. In terms of the goal of being a graphics boost it seems to be doing ok so far.

A small step towards where we should have been at release.

Their in-game AA seems to do something, i.e. between OFF and x8 I can see a difference on the lines of a close-up aircraft. It doesn't seem to do anything to the FPS, so it's probably their own SMAA/FXAA implementation rather than AA/AF from the card (which would impact performance more I think).

I'd be happy if it was just as good as the beta patch they introduced the E-4. That patch worked great for me.

patch works very well for me, quicker load times and much improved framerates for the most.

I've been flying the single missions and they are actually FUN. The AI seems tweaked, I have yet to see the 109s doing extreme rolling, though this is after minimal contact.

Funny enough I did get a launch exe error. Only once and this is only the second time in all the time I"ve flown this sim

The patch appears to be good on my system @ High settings. The Launcher exe problems that was introduced on my system with the last beta patch are now gone. I still have Microstutters at Treetop level over London, but that won't be a problem, as you won't be flying there much during any of the single missions or campaigns. Early reports of the patch seem to very positive, so with any kind of luck at all the devs could start concentrating on the gameplay issues. Fixing the gameplay issues and releasing a successful Sequel could secure the future of the series.

Good so far for me on my iMac, in fact I'd go so far as to say that apart from the lack of a decent campaign recreating BoB I'm starting to think this title isn't so dead after all.
Graphics look a lot better now especially with the correct haze. Roger rabbit colours on the landscape still grate a bit but at least with the haze they're forgivable now.
The guns actually feel like they're chucking something out now instead of the x-wing lazers.
FM feels better to me with the planes seemingly having more mass now.

All in all a big thumbs up; finally I feel as though the money invested is actually coming good.
