Phoenix Beta D

[Taffage]

Beta D now available
The skipping / jumping issue now fixed, running as smooth as you like fully maxed out @ 1920x1200 here

[barney]

Mines running fine except online where its still flickering...a little less than previous versions but still not inviting enough to stick online for any length of time

[chugga-bug]

Mines awful.
Not too bad on my own, but dreadful on line.
105j was great online, only the occasional problem but nothing to worry about.
Even with all setting son lowest it's still sh*te.

Same here

Hi chugga...I saw you on my session earlier. I dropped smoke + resolution etc but still made not a lot of difference. The guys over at Phoenix need to have a look at how R/F G3/3.5 runs (or ran if its no longer current) as the RF online experience has always been a lot better for me at least.

[Taffage]

Not tried the online yet, Have you guys passed this info onto Phoenix support?
They seem to be very quick to respond and sorted the jumping / stepping issue within a couple of days

[chugga-bug]

I just sent them an email.

Barney, when I was on your session was my heli running smoothly on your screen? Cos it was 6-7 frames/sec on mine.

[chugga-bug]

Those guys at Phoenix must be on 24hr shifts!
Just had a reply saying they will be sorting the problems soon, so we can expect another update shortly.

[barney]

Chugga.. No theres a lot of missed frames making it jump around a fair bit.

I'm no PC guru for sure but I think when your online your PC is only told where to render the model/objects. That way it only gets sent positionial information

Version E is already out

[jboweruk]

Not had long with it yet, but I notice the Heli heading is still wrong on the compass. It's roughly 180 degrees out of whack. No speed issues, at least flying on my own.

[Smoothound]

E seems a lot better on multiplayer than the previous ones.

The screen still just freezes on me sometimes and i have to wait till the heli crashes until I get the screen back.
