.. or at least some beautiful warbird flying in awesome sceneries. I bought it and am totaly surprised of the smoothness coupled with graphics never seen before!! Try it, War Thunder!

I simply love it, though it is still in Beta.

Hi all,

for me it has been - related to flight sims - the most surprising but also worst news ever heard. Flight has got the most important things, a Flight Sim must have. The phyiscs come very very close to reality combined with beautiful graphics at 60 fps constantly. But what am I talking ... its over, due to not being profitable. Really? There are much more players in multiplayer than in Wings of Prey, Cliffs of Dover, Apache, IL2 1946 together, not to speak about, X-Plane. So why can they afford it and Microsoft not? And after a long time of developement, why dropping this game after only 6 months? I would spend a lot of money, if I only could. I bought all the VC less crap, to support MS to build more, no matter what. Its only sad. So I am of for flying RL, but the weather is not always brilliant on weekends.

So I tried to find new alternatives.

I bought AeroflightFS, A10 Warthog, Wings of Prey, Cliffs of Dover, Rise of Flight (some of them I already have for quite some times).

What I was absolutely impressed of, were the graphics an the atmosphere of Wings of Prey, a game, now for not more than 10 bucks. Of yourse cliffs of dover is more realistic, but graphics are crap and stuttery. Wings of Prey are nailed to 60 fps with unbelievable good looking graphics. So I found myself fighting till late in the evening having great fun.

Than I wondered what this company also developed a found some good news and videos about War Thunder (formerly word of planes) which is in Beta now. They also have Hawaii there :-)

So I would appreciate to see some of us in the MP of Wings of Prey or War Thunder when it is released.

PS: I have nothing to do with those sims, I am just searching for having fun in flying around in beautiful environment. I will miss Flight very much!

My flying club has to replace our Remo 400 for towing gliders. We had to choose between the Carbon Cub and the Dynamics. The Carbon Cub didn't made it, because the view outside is limited due to the high wings. Now we will buy the Dynamics, which I would also like to see in Flight, esp. with retractable gear. For towing gliders in high traffic the view outside, when turning around is essential. Too bad I will never fly a Carbon Cub in RL, at least not in the near future.

Nice shots! But on your video it seems that you have very low fps. Or is it just the result of recording? If not, try to lower your weather settings, that's what kills my fps.

It was really awesome! And teamspeak3 on the ipad is working pretty well. I will post some pics later.

Is the force feedback now implemented?

Where are they?

I use sectional charts of alaska on my second computer. I think it is more challenging and fun to identify your position without a moving map :-)

And more than that, the main exe file does not work with the latest nvidia driver. :-( Go and fix it!

 

Have you tried using the adaptive v-sync setting in the nvidia control panel? It should get rid of that drastic drop off from 60 to 30fps, or 30 to 20fps. Some people complain about screen tearing when you go below 60fps, but it's worth trying.

In the control panel I "let the application decide". Should I use individual settings for adaptive v-sync and disable the ingame v-sync?

Thanks for all your comments!

 

So the point is, getting over 30 FPS, probably won't make any difference in how it looks.

As the refreshing rate of the monitor is 60Hz, it makes a BIG difference. Believe me, the difference is like night and day, when the fps drop from 60 to 30 (v-sync on), especialle when panning around with trackIR all the time.

With weather and scenery density set to medium, i can keep my 60 fps. I can live with that.

Will there be a huge improvement, if I upgrade to a i5 2550k, or sth. thelike?

Hi, as I am strongly addicted to flight already flying it for more than 80 hours I ask you as experts for hardware, how to upgrade my current system.

I want 60 fps with high/ max details in strong weather conditions in Flight.

My system:

i5 750 @ 4,0 Ghz

MSI Nvidia 560 Ti Twin Frozr 1GB

12 GB RAM 1300 Mhz

500 GB Spin Point F3

NEC 27, 1920 x 1200

New processor, or SSD?

Or a complete new gaming machine?

:-) so i guess the two missing liveries come along with the VC, floats and skis!

What we need is:

Alaska: More detailed airfields, cabins, missions and details, details, details

Maule: floats, skis, tundra tires, liveries

Cub: VC, floats, skis, liveries

 

So I had a look through the .cfg file and found "ReflectionQuality=LOW". I changed "custom=0" to "=1" and changed that "LOW" to "HIGH". When back into the game and BAM! Performance boost was still there and I had my water reflections back.

 

 

You made my day! Great performance now with awsome reflections!

Very nice video, i did not notice the trees moving that much!

And the Maule is a taildrager. A front wheel can keep you on the runway as long as you do not lift it.

Yes it was, but we still miss the red/silver and the yellow/silver one from the trailer.

Great shots! Again sth that was never told me before ;-(

We should get more feedback, of what is going to be implemented in the future. For me, as long as there is no multiplayer for now, I only do some patterns from time to time. There is less life than in FLIGHT, too bad. I really like to see the Austrian Alps, Multiplayer and different weather themes and seasons!

But they are working on it.

+1 for at least some hundreds of cabins, and some deluxe bush planes.

I do not know, if I have missed something. But why is nobody missing the the other two paint schemes of the Carbon Cub, you can see in the trailer: a red/silver one and a yellow/silver one. Do these come with the Deluxe Version maybe?

Your setup please? I will by one of yours on monday!

Is everything on maximum settings? What is your setup? Looks absolutely smooth! Great video!

How can everybody fly with no stutters? Smooth for me are 60fps with vsync on and not one less. But Alaska is much more demanding than Hawaii. And i see no reasons for that! And i hate the FSX looking standard airfields you can see Miles ahead.
