how much impact does operating system have?

[Angry_Kitten]

ive been a good boy, and downloaded two updates for windows in the last two weeks. havent really been using Box for a while, tired and hands hurting a bit much. 

 

Took update 4.506 for a good few hours tonight and EVERYTHING was different in the planes. 

 

The 109 and the 190 are  completely different. I mean completely different, its like switching from the Eindecker to the sopwith triplane in ROF... its that different. Response is completely different and instant.  And beautiful.

 

And notices something VERY strange with exploding aircraft. 

 

I am USED to having the german 20mm and 108 tear off flaps, aelerons, and tail sections. But tonight i killed 23 B25ds. 

 

3 did NOT explode in the air.   When i mean explode, literal explosions like i dropped a 50kg on a locomotive and got to watch a fire ball and parts go flying off larger then my plane.

I think it is safe to say that whatever difference you experienced it was not caused by Windows.

I doubt it was a change caused by a sudden magical breaking in period of my thrustmaster joy stick suddenly happening after a week of not playing it. 

 

The whole environment seems different.  Planes behave different when killed. 

 

For instance, i am used to downed planes like c47 and b25 simply pitching nose down and doing a fast dirt dive, or rolling to one side and then going down. NOW they randomly explode into huge chunks, OR the pitch nose up directly in my flight path and hang for a moment, then fall down in different ways. 

  like a barrage balloon slowly dying. 

 

 

 

I can actually do manuevers i see on your guys video clips. That makes me feel happy
