LF_Gallahad 1615 Posted January 21 Good going! Specially: 7. Updated texture cache system, it should reduce stutters in heavy load MP missions significantly; 8. Brightness and size of very distant aircraft LODs made more uniform (it differed too much on some aircraft); Thanks, Dev team! 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sneaksie 1840 Posted January 21 Schiphol should be fine: If you don't see it, make sure you don't have Surface.dat files in your Rheinland map folders (you may have old ones there if you saved missions in the editor before and have mods enabled). 1 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason_Williams 23553 Posted January 21 7. Updated texture cache system, it should reduce stutters in heavy load MP missions significantly; Let me clarify this a little bit. We think this will help with online stutters, but further testing with the public build will be key. It seemed to perform pretty well in Beta, but MP Beta testing is not so easy with a smaller group.

Hanu 254 Posted January 21 Just now, Sneaksie said: Yes, the correct ones are inside the GTP archives. And the same goes with the other maps also I guess? After deleting those files the new airfields on Rheinland did show up. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sevenless 2025 Posted January 21 Thanks. Things are getting better and better. Any info on coniferous trees for the Rhineland map? They are in Battle of Moscow. Any plans to port them over? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems that there is some significant improvement in the general stuttering experienced in MP. Stuttering was reduced and the improvement instantly noticeable from a quick sortie on Berloga during general flight where it was most noticeable in previous game versions even without lots of action onscreen. Lets see if others notice the same. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can echo this. I know Trip is in VR, but Im running TrackIR and noticed a signifigant improvement to the stutters. I have yet to try the new map though. That one was the worst for me online.

Kataphrakt 111 Posted January 21 I wonder if the Panther will have its engine lifespan simulated similar to what is currently done for aircraft. Completely destroying it if operated too heavily for too long to discourage players from always using max throttle. 🤔 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
