Non Generic Skins Load Much Faster!

[II./JG27_Rich]

I'm seeing now the non generic skins loading Immediately now. Since there is so much focus on the spotting thing I thought I would post up a possitive thing.

yep, I've been made quite happy by this as well. still takes a second occasionally, but for the most part the issue is virtually fixed! See everyone, they're not just tacking on content, they're making improvements as well

I haven't noticed any change. Takes anywhere from instant to 5-6 seconds.

Hmmm Too bad that's a bummer. I don't have a super speedy video card but I've noticed that people in IL-2 Cliffs of Dover have been having great luck with MSI Geforce twin frozer cards. Mine is a 570 witch is a 1 gig. It seems to work well here too.

Takes about four seconds here with 16gb of ram and a 3gb card. The skin swaps out when an aircraft passes behind a canopy frame too and takes a second of do to reappear.

12 gigs of ram and the card is a MSI Geforce 570 twin frozer II TI 1 gig. I'm going to get a 3 gig MSI card later on.

It was this way before last update!

It seems devs have nailed this issue, since it's uploading now in half second.

Not only skins but cockpit dash board weathering were affected before.

Last update was a great improvment in that matter!

(only 8Gb RAM here...not sure if 40Gb could change anything! - but GC is 1.5Gb)

Yep, only around 1 second at most for a skin to apply. Although I am with an SSD and on 4770k.

 

And did the terrain get blurry with altitude/range in the previous session or is this a new feature in this update?

I've noticed the runways at distance are now very blurry/blocky at range after switching from 2560x1600 to 1920x1200.

I'm definately still having this issue. Right now it's not a deal breaker though.

Also having the blurry runway issue (looks ugly!) and skins load quicker but I had a problem when I shot down a Messer and passed close to him and there was a loooong judder while his hi-res skin loaded onto the wreckage.
