4.14.1 Patch Observation

[stovak]

A couple of fixes not mentioned in the patch sticky:

- F4F/F4U/Corsair speed indicators are now correctly showing Knots instead of MPH.

- In the FMB, using ctrl-c to copy text in the description box was causing a CTD. This is now fixed.

[Marabekm]

It seems the patch works with hyperlobby again!

Good. Now to start building some missions.

[shelby]

The patch installer does not remove third-party programs from the game folder. In general, versioning functionality has become more friendly to third-party utilities.

-ANO for MBR2, wing lights were confused
-the possibility of fixing the tail wheel on the MBR2
-fixed compass in the cockpit MBR2
- in the cockpit of the MBR2 pilot of the holes on the right opening blister (they were not tied to the blister, were one-sided and when opening the blister half became invisible)
fixes on the MBR2 concerning faults. To floats discarded with the destruction of the wings of all.
-For aircraft F4F, F4U speed indication returned to the knots
-for the full editor, editing text copy functions to the system clipboard often led to the launch of the game on the desktop
-for the full editor, editing the function of group copying of objects, the copied objects were reset to their original orientation
-for the full editor corrected the names of some new objects in the Russian localization
- for English localization, the names of bomb loads for IL-4 aircraft were corrected

for dedicated server (Dedicated Server):
- programs like il2connect began to display full information about the settings of a working DS server: the number of players, the level of difficulty, the current map, etc.
-fix with bases (test runways and aircraft carriers)
-tod command displays information as before. Use tod DATA for more information.
-fix network transmission and logging of events about dumping of rocket boosters on He-111-H16

The TB-3 has no ability to adjust course when viewing through the bombsight using either rudder trim or rudder left right keys. if you use course adjust keys you get readout on screen for pdi light but no change of direction.

[stugumby]

MBR still needs to lean down fuel mixture if over 1000m altitude.

Secondly, not only with TB-3, but also on many other aircrafts.

[TitusFlavius]

Only a small detail. The small mistake is still present.The emergency HUD message on the He-177 is displayed incorrectly ("Forsazh!" instead of ("Erhöhte Notleistung EIN!") in the German localization.
See the screenshot.

It is in french also and they will fix it

Bf 110 Bk 3,7 problem not fixed

[Dusty88]

Why is there no il2fb.exe to start a server in HyperLobby? HyperLobby will ONLY start a server with il2fb.exe! If I re-name "il2server.exe to il2fb.exe the server will not start because of CRT, it says "bad files in game folder" and shuts off.

Where can I write the Daidalos team to get this fixed? I posted in a few places here and I guess they didn't see it or they are cutting HyperLobby off from 414.1?

I have tried to contact HyperLobby and can find no way to ask them to let il2server.exe start the server.

This problem is ONLY for the DogFight server patch, I really hoped 414.1 would fix this problem.

I have always kept the FUN~4~ALL server updated with the newest patches and listed on HyperLobby until 414 came out..
A bunch of regular players got 414 and can't join the server because it is not listed on HyperLobby. I told them when 414.1 comes out, it should be fixed then so, I guess they now have to wait until 414.2 comes out???

If you know anyone that can contact the Daidalos team or HyperLobby so we can get this fixed before people delete the game and leave forever.. Please let me know,,, please.

[stugumby]

I went back from 412-414 and it appears only in 414 series of patches.

So if you have taken away level stabilizer and rudder trim as being historically accurate, then how does an offline player make minor course adjustments for proper bombing accuracy??

Also when carrying 8 fab 250 the bomb bay doors still open,same if carrying rrab pods. Pe-2 also opens unneeded bay doors if carrying cluster bomb pods.

Dusty88, are you managing FUN~4~ALL server ?
Just to say that your efforts are appreciated. I have discovered it recently and have spent some hours there with pleasure (4.13 version). Normally I avoid "easy settings" but AIs in large numbers, shipping targets and "no cockpit" models, especially of flying boats have win my heart. :)
Well done and hope the server will stay for long.

yes 4.14 have many issues ... even more than i expext ...

you can write here... i read almost all ... i mean i sometime can read something not at right time... anyway...
for now about issue with HL i understand not all ... i mean don't understand where is root of issuse.. we will figured out with it... and 4.14.2 and some other .xx could be ...

at current moment i can say only that i see in List of Hyper Lobby Alex server which work on 4.14.1 ... but may be it's working some other way... will ask specialist in that area.

[Dusty88]

Yes, I have run the Fun 4 ALL servers since around 2007 or 2008. I put it up because it was the only easy setting server up at the time. A lot of players got their start there, on other servers they were getting creamed on day one. On F4A they got a chance to learn and many people were there to help then with views and other things to help them on the harder servers. Once they got it down they moved on to the harder servers. Some stayed there, they it liked better. Some came back and "warmed up" there before heading to the harder servers. There was even little kids that flew there and had fun.

There were a few people that got mad because new players were flying there and there was no easy kills in the other servers.. I could write a book about all the things that happened there and some of the things people have done there..

A couple of years ago someone from HL said that it was the longest running server on HL. It should be around a few more if my health holds up.

Hyper Lobby will only take il2fb.exe or it will not start a game or a server.

The 414.1 does not have il2fb.exe in the DS server folder.

Hyper Lobby will not start a server with il2server.exe file name in 414.1

Every DF server since 407 started with il2fb.exe, just change it back that way and HL would work fine...

The Alex server must have modified the security or something, HL only starts games or server that use "il2fb.exe"

Re-name the il2fb.exe file in 414.1 in your game to il2server.exe, now see if HL can find it.... it won't.

i talk with Alex server admin and yes ... in his commander was some automatic procedure ... don't know how it work in fact ... but his commander wtih it avoid issue with HL ... anyway issue with HL is present... will be work to fix it.

[Dusty88]

Thank you Sita, I'm trying to talk with HL about adding il2server.exe to their game search but, I'm having no luck finding anyone to talk to there...

I am happy about the extra CRT to stop cheating in a CRT=2 server. Just a hotfix for the dedicated server patch is all that is needed, everything else is 414.1 is great!

Impressive.
Since Spits vs 109 and Vinni and many others have gone, your server is probably today in the top of the longest IL2 1946 not just running on HL but overall. Or may be the longest of all running, not modded ones at least.
Thank you for your efforts.

[Catsy]

Thank you Sita, I'm trying to talk with HL about adding il2server.exe to their game search but, I'm having no luck finding anyone to talk to there...

There has never been any il2fb.exe in dedicated server versions. If you need an il2fb.exe, just copy the il2server.exe and rename it.

i think it's our mistake and we must fix it ..

[Dusty88]

i think it's our mistake and we must fix it ..

Good deal Sita! I started an old Win XP PC today that has a working version of HL from 2006 that I put away when I got a new PC for a IL2 dedicated server. HL dedicated servers were started by il2fb.exe in 2006 and every server version 408, 409 410 to 413 started with il2fb.exe. Even back then HL would only take il2fb.exe in its game search.

I got the newer patch that you put up: 413.4 to 414.1 for dedicated servers. After I updated a new copy of 413.4, the il2fb.exe would not work(it says-bad file and shuts off.)
You may already know this but, I thought I would tell you in case you didn't.

AleX server is not using a dedicated server with FBDj, it is started just like a players co-op game would. That is why it starts in HL with the il2fb.exe file, it is not really a dedicated server...

Thank you again, I will watch for 414.2 hotfix.

was coming in to land and all went well, looked at AI in external views and some of them were acting like porpoises, all wobble up and down etc.

I’ve noticed that the CANT Z.506 will often not be credited as destroyed even when it clearly has been. Even when it has broken up in mid air in plain view of attacking fighters and is left with just the fuselage bobbing in the water it is still not credited as destroyed. This can be very frustrating. In my own mission design “Wildcat Ace over the Norwegian Sea” mission success is dependent on the destruction of the CANT and yet far too often the CANT is simply not credited as destroyed, resulting in the “Target Failed” message appearing when it clearly should be “Target Complete”.

I think this does happen with other aircraft also but I’ve mainly noticed it with the CANT.

Quoting from an earlier thread. Unfortunately this painful issue is still a regular event in 4.14.1.

[Tennie]

I updated using the update patch that allowed updating directly from 4.13.4 to 4.14.1, and most of it seems to work fine (for now, anyways; I'll update whenever necessary). However, a couple of maps seem to have some problems:

When, on the Full Mission Builder, I selected any of the Battle for Donbass or the Battle for Moscow maps, the game would quickly CTD, and I'd have to restart the program. The other new maps included in the patches don't have this problem.

Did I do something wrong, and/or is anyone else having trouble? I haven't noticed anyone else mention it here (yet), so I thought I'd ask around for help. I would greatly appreciate any help on this matter!:)

was flying a usmc wake island mission and to my suprise all i heard were russian voices. saw another post about missing volices online and bammo, no US or SK folders in my samples/speech folder. How to fix other than pull up older version on external hard drive and copy into it??

They're still there on my install. Check your PM.

Map box AU-23/AV 21 and AU 21 there are rivers that run dry, bridges with no water under them etc.

[dimlee]

Map box AU-23/AV 21 and AU 21 there are rivers that run dry, bridges with no water under them etc.

Rivers are not realistic on this map, of course (as everywhere else in IL2). But dry riverbeds were typical for Crimean peninsula in real life. Especially before creation of new canals network in 1960-1970s. Some rivers could just stop running in dry season and turn into isolated narrow lakes, temporary.

There are more serious errors on this map, actually. Copied from the earlier map of Crimea in the first versions of the game. Absence of Balaklava Bay, wrong terrain in the area of Sevastopol, non-historical breakwaters of Sevastopol Bay, etc...

Hello and sorry: this is not the right place to make this question (but I think is better here then open a thread only for this)...
I've 4.14.1 and try to add the dgen campaigns for Asura's dgen, but probably I don't understand what is written on 4.14.1 readme... someone can help, please?

Have nice summer days! :-)

If you want to install Asura's Dgen mod you have to create a #DGEN folder in il2's root folder and put all DGen mod's related files in it. Then, activate DGen mod in the conf.ini by changing UseAsuraDgen from 0 to 1. Otherwise, if you just want to install a DGen campaign and already have installed DGen mod as above you just have to drop the campaign files in your usual DGen folder.

Thank you Baball! :-)

Was re-acquainting myself with the B-25J and was looking at the RPM gage and its marked RPH not RPM, can anyone else look and confirm??

Confirmed

Game version 4.13.4 (updated from DVD version) launches and runs fine, but wen i install update 4.14 and 4.14.1 and i try to start the game nothing happens.
Clicking the il2fb.exe really does nothing...

I fixed it, luckly i made a copy from my 3.13.4 install, so i trew away the 4.14.1 install and tried it again but this time instead of going from 4.13.4 with the combined patched 4.14 and 4.14.1 packadge i did first just 4.14 and than the 4.14.1 patch and now it works.
