Please let me express my heartfelt thank-yous for this patch. The new maps are without doubt the best ever!

[1.JaVA_Platypus]

A Christmas gift? Ohhh my goodness :):):):):):):):)

The zip's are really large and the d/l speed is about 7kb/s :p But I want to thank all people who made this patch possible. You have alot of free time in it, yes? It is going to take the whole day to download probably, but it is fantastic news :):)

Thanks Oleg and team, for making this patch :)
Thanks 1C for hosting it at this forum :)

I just came from Schiphol airport where another russian/ukrainian aviation miracle was present. The An-225 is there, it should take off any second now. :) A shame I can not witness it. Really beautifull aircraft (Y)

[Billy885]

Thanks a bunch 1C and all!

[I/ZG52_Gaga]

Excellent!! :)
Any News on SOW ? :)

[[BFs]FlyingFinn]

A very big thank you for you Mr. Oleg and your team!

Keep up your excellent work gentlemen.

[Zorin]

Bessarabia and both its Online versions have a flaw. There are certain areas that are transparent and therefor allow to see through them.

[jasonbirder]

Many thanks...a real christmas present from 1C
A pleasant suprise on the new default skins - though at 236Mb its a big download - the patch itself is just as big and i think that there are alot of people downloading currently as it seems to be going v e r y s l o w l y at the minute
Can't wait to see what it all looks like!

Well, how long did we wait for 4.09? (beta) we can wait a little bit more, yes?

My browsers default DL programm got stuck a few times. But the download is more stable with a download accelerator. I use Flashget Jetcar.

Patch 4.09mBeta

Patch includes:

* New maps:
Bessarabia
Iasi (online)
Odessa (online)
MTO
Slovakia
Slovakia (online)

* New default skins for planes

409b1m.zip contains maps only.
If you want to install replacement skins then download
409b1m_skins.zip and install over the map pack.
fb_3do20.sfs from the map pack have to be overwritten.


***** CHANGES in GRAPHICS ***********************

* Increased buffer size for stationary objects (buildings etc.)
to prevent freezes under some circumstances.

* Colors of water corrected for Water=2,3,4 modes.
Now when looking down it is no more black/dark blue.

* Optimized Shaders for Nvidia 8X00 series video cards.

* Added a new mode for increased visibility distance.
Visibility increased from 36 km to 72km
under "Clear" and "Good" weather conditions.

Note: This mode is not optimized for performance
(freezes and low fps are possible on low-end systems)
This mode is recommended for fast CPUs & powerful video
cards such as Nvidia 8800 series, ATI X1800 series or better.
With 512 MB of video RAM.

This new feature is available only in "Perfect" game graphics mode.

Also, there is a possibility to have problems with clouds and their
shadows at far distances, due to some engine limitations.

Modify your conf.ini string in the [Render_OpenGL] section
to use this mode:

LandGeom=3 (new mode is ON)
LandGeom=2 (back to normal mode).

[F19_Klunk]

hehe this means there is still a patch to be released... the 4.09 NOT beta ;)

I think that Oleg added a new turbulence model. Last patch Oleg added random variation in gun RoF so that they desync over time. So its not impossible... Try flying...

Cheers m8, will do some more testing later. I haven't had the time for anything but a quick flyaround on the Slovakian map yet - and absolutely stunning it is indeed - but will test bad weather conditions, etc. later on when I get back home...

Thank so much for this christmas gift!!!:grin:

One naive question: is it possible take out the cheating to prevent people to warp miles away into the orbit when they are being shot at? :rolleyes:

Thats not a cheat, thats a bad connection to the server.

[Thunderbolt56]

As has already been stated, make sure to back up your 4.08 files as there is not yet dedicated server software and you won't be able to fly online with the 4.09 version until there is.



TB

[GOZR]

Slovakia maps are good, MTO and the rest is a desapointement again..

They forgot to actually to take off some haze at cloudy/storm/overcast and snow..
They should call those weather Overcast with fog/ snow with fog etc..

A desapointement again or maybe i'm too used to others sim with better terrains and weathers

[HanzBlixz]

This should be in a different thread...but I'll give my 2 cents.

II/JG54_Emil ... Warping in servers is entirely preventable by the host/Server side and has been for a long time. (Regardless if the player is doing it unintentionally or "helping" it happen)

If you are in a server that has warping going on, its not a well managed server for dogfights. With proper settings the players warping would get the auto-boot. Many servers have their settings way to loose. This is because they dont know the right settings or because they want to allow their friends with lousy internet connections and poorly maintained PCs the ability to join. (Sacrificing the quality of play for everyone)

If you're in a server that does have players warping, tell the admin. If the admin is unwilling to fix it or isn't knowledgeable enough to fix it, move to a better server.

Warp free servers do exist. If you or your friends find and like one with a low ping, but keep getting kicked (while many others are having no problem on it) then look at fixing your own internet connection and/or PC issues.

In Summary... there is no need to tolerate warping. It is easily preventable already and not something you need to wait for in 4.09.

[I/ZG52_Gaga]

Did anyone notice the way the AC "jump" and brake when strafed? Is this a new one?

[RaVe]

Thank you!

[MadJek]

Thank you very much. :grin:

[Friendly_flyer]

Although they forgot to mention it in the readme of the skins, the new patch contains also the new default that I made for the Macchi 202 and 205 (all the versions), the Fiat CR42 and the G50.

That's splendid news! Your skins are top notch work, and Fiats and Macchis are great planes to fly!

[Sonko]

Thanks a lot for that new inofficial patch!

Though, I noticed kind of bug on maps with water above 0m in perfect mode, water=2.


The waves with the reflections appear to be at 0 meters, although the surface of the lake is much higher. One can see through the mountains, so to speak.

Same counts for the small lake on the relatively new desert map.


On some areas of the slowakian map fps are heavily dropping, even in excellent mode.

Most non-clipped wing Spitfires have new skins aswell, which is not noted in the readme.

For some screenies take a look here:

[II/JG54_Emil]

Thats not a cheat, thats a bad connection to the server.

if that´s not cheating, why does it only happen when you fire at them? :confused:

[Sonko]

if that´s not cheating, why does it only happen when you fire at them? :confused:

Thats most likely because the gunfire and the tracers n stuff hasen't loaded before you fire the first burst, hence the lag.

[150GCT_Veltro]

Thank you a lot guys for the new maps!

Slovacchia? A dream...........a work of art. Thank you!

=> II/JG54_Emil Sent PM
Both warping and freezes that occur when you go to fire at someone are already preventable. **Regardless of if its a convenient coincidence or a form of cheat. **

There is no need to wait for or expect a change in 409 with regards to this.

[Wildcat_drvr]

Thank You so much! I had mentally prepared myself to wait much longer. Good Christmas present to go with my BFG 8600 GT Factory Over Clocked Graphics Card! I am one Happy Camper! Thanks Again for the years of hard work done by Oleg & Crew.

[heywooood]

WoW - unexpected news - d/ling now

This sim should easily surpass RB3D among others for longevity and popularity

[SlipBall]

The Slovacchia map is indeed beautifull......thank's again Oleg & crew

[II./JG1_Wilcke]

Maps are a work of art! Thanks gentleman!

[Robert]

I absolutely love the rolling hill of the farm lands. The objects are really a nice touch to the realism.

Are the big round white oil tanks new? I don't remember seeing them before, and I'm not a mission maker so I could have missed them.

I've had no issues with missing tiles or starting up with the supplied dlls of this IL2 patch.

All in all VERY VERY nice work gentlemen! Thanks go to the map makers...the skin makers and 1 C Maddox. Your work is appreciated.


Anyone got a mission built yet? ;)

[Baco]

Downloading still But Im sure the new maps are gorgeous. Thank You once aggain Oleg.

That screenshot has GOT to be the best I ever seen in this game of any map! Fellas, I vote to have 1C have the same team who did this also do any future 3rd party map stuff after the last official patch release!

My congratulations to the map team who I believe have breathed some much needed fresh air into this sim we all love. Also congrats to the skinners who made some new default skins which sadly I was not part of as it was too late when I found out to do anything.
Finally, to Oleg and Co for creating this sim in the first place, you guys ROCK!

[Jagdwaffe]

After installing 4.09m my install is ALL in Russian. How do I get the English version happening again please?

Thank you Ian Boys and Team for your ongoing generosity. Still exploring the Slovakia map and the details with variety which changes from village to village ... it's more than I expected.

[heywooood]

ok - incase you guys haven't checked it...the new visibility range?....
------------------------------------------------------
* Added a new mode for increased visibility distance.
Visibility increased from 36 km to 72km
under "Clear" and "Good" weather conditions.

Modify your conf.ini string in the [Render_OpenGL] section
to use this mode:

LandGeom=3 (new mode is ON)
LandGeom=2 (back to normal mode).

Well - It allows you to see the carriers from a proper distance....no more pop up task force!

Oh yeah - that alone is worth money to me

[NeuralDream]

Impressed, as always, by the dedication of the IL2 team.

Does this patch add new maps in the quick mission mode too?

[Snuff_Pidgeon]

4.09 will not load up at all! anyone else having probs?Uninstalled everything and reloaded in patched order, but 4.09 will not load? disk spins ok then stops ands thats it!Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks a million 1C you have re-developed the the worlds impression of PC flight simulation, especially WWII flight simulation (my favourite).

Cheers, CrazySchmidt. :)

[Tvrdi]

thank you Oleg and team

[[BFs]FlyingFinn]

Hopefully there will be new default desert skins in the finalized version.

[csThor]

No go, Finn. Maddox Games did not wish for any programming work so defaults tied to specific maps are out of question. :(

[jasonbirder]

Does anyone know if i can install the new default skins over version 4.08?

[Tvrdi]

no changes in FM or in weapon loadups?

[Tinman86]

My game loads to 95% and stops responding :( despite JG53Harti's suggested link. Still won't load past 95%

[Fall_Pink?]

Wow, Bessarabia and Slovakia are simply stunning maps!

A big thank you to all (...Juraj Vanovcan, Martin Kubani, Peter Balaz, Ian boys, Joerg Wiedemann, 1C etc, etc...) involved in making these great maps. I read yhey took a very long time to make, but it definately shows. Highly detailed and some great textures.

I'm now searching the 20+ Easter eggs.....

[Fearfactor]

I will install the patch but only just to be current. It only has maps and skins, nothing else.
What is supposed to be a big deal??

[1.JaVA_Sjonnie]

I just watched the video, it's really stunning stuff! I really appreciate it when people like these here make something that is so totally suited to what mission builders like about maps, in this case they can easily be used for other countries and they can even be adapted - just to mention a little thiing here ;)
These people have thought in possibilities instead of in limitations and I thank them for it. Your work is well appreciated!!

Besides, dont forget it's a beta!!;)

[Old_Canuck]

What's the big deal you say? Free patch created by top artists for the best combat sim in the flight sim genre. It's a given that ingratitude is a sign of the times regarding this generation but you have other options folks. You can stay with the software you paid for and leave the freebies alone.

Try driving through one of the beautiful new villages and enjoy the sights.

At least your not on dial-up. I used to pull down Oleg's patches using a 14.4k connection. In some cases it would take several repeated attempts each of which was about eight hours long.

[Tinman86]

I noticed that, at dusk, a shadow from a building on a hillside, reflected off the peak of the hill and went strait up into the sky. You could fly through it. At some angles it would disappear, then re-appear. I also noticed that same shadow running the opposite direction it should be from the sun.

http://vfw.rogue-saints.com

[1.JaVA_Sjonnie]

Well folks I haven't read many reactions, I just know what I think of the patch and its GREAT.

The teams that put the maps together did an unbelievable thing, working for so long on something special. Also the other modifications add to yet more immersion and realism.
As a mission/ DF map builder I see how a map like Slovakia can even change the way players approach the game! The new airfields are very good, offering more possibilities and they also look realistic, even more so than before (maps like Northwest Europe already had a new airfield look&feel) and players love it, specially the grassy square fields.
Flying across the map with this much variation in elevation really adds a dimension to the flying.:cool:

If I state stuff about maps, its almost as if that were the only thing that came with 4.09 but thats not true of course. The other changes are very good also! ;)

Just finished a campaign (available at mission 4 today) and the skinners, testers and I know what it means if you build something that is a big project considering we all do that in our spare time.

So from me to the people that made this patch: Thank you very much indeed for adding a dimension, your dedication to quality really shows, you did a fantastic job! 8-)8-)

[denbf109]

4.09 patch is really cool. the slovakia and MTO maps have great scenery. i haven't messed with the water in conf. tho. (ain't got enough puter i think) all the other sims take a back seat to the il2 series:grin:

[jurinko]

@Tinman, those shadows are part of the IL-2 engine, which did not expect objects be set onto steep hills. You can switch off all object shadows except trees by changing the landShadin=3 to landShading=2 in the conf.ini file.

[J9 Austin]

:) Way to go Oleg, trying it right now and thanks for the New Year's Gift:cool:

[mango42]

Oleg, Evgeny et al. Did anyone ever tell you what an amazing team you are? :grin:

Thanks once again for yet another free patch to the best flight sim ever.

It says so much not only for your enthusiasm for this genre but also your business ethics.

Thank you also for showing us all just how a computer can be programmed so effectively.

-------

"Microsoft just sells you windows; Linux gives you the whole house."

[Tinman86]

The one thing I've noticed with the Slovakia map is that there is no place available to place an engineered air strip. There is not one patch of level ground (that I can find) to place one. Thats not to say that there aren't any....but I can't find any. Even near the rivers the foliage is too heavy. Unless I want to put a strip up the middle of a river, do I have any other options? I love to build my own bases based on the surrounding scenery. I understand the care that has been taken for realism....but.....but.....I just realized the map won't be changed for me :)

1. Has anyone found level ground without foliage to lay a strip?
2. Is there ANY forecast on the official release date of 4.09?

The maps are absolutely beautiful
[RS]Lazarus

[Old_Canuck]

.. can't remember exactly where but I remember flying over a flat piece of mountainous rock that appeared big enough for a strip. Will post the grid if it shows up again.

[Aviar]

"1. Has anyone found level ground without foliage to lay a strip?"

Yes Tinman86.

First, if you don't mind....a little advice. Always look at the readme file for any patch. It will only benefit you...:)

Now, to answer your question. From the Slovakia readme:

Emergency airbases without coded AI landing and spawn points: Drazkovce, Rohozna, Velka Luka.

Locations:

Drazkovce: J-11
Rohozna: P-8
Velka Luka: R-7

EDIT-I found several flat spots in just 5 minutes, so you should be able to also. They were on 'farmland', but large enough for a TEST Airstrip.

Did you try G-12? There is an island surrounded by a river that can hold a TEST Airstrip.

I'm sure you can find more spots if you really try...:)

If you're new at this, you might be better off waiting for the official patch.

It just may not be worth the trouble for you right now.

I want a Stork!

Did I write that? Its odd, but I don't remember.

I've always wanted a pet stork, but its not the kind of thing you talk about, or really even admit to yourself...

[THE ERASER]

Good Day everyone,

I have some bad issue with the HD4870 (Sapphire) in IL-2 with and without version 4.09bm and all available Beta DLLs. have some very disturbed glitches with the Graphic's seen as in here by the screenshot. The first are the rainbowish colour glitch and the second is the blue glowing of the inside (Pit View) and outside of the Plane by firing the weapons or by the sunlight.

To Reproduce the glitches only play the tracks F4F4 vs. G4M and BlackDeath

Thank you very much I advance for reading it and perhaps helping me and eventually other.
And sorry for the poor English, Swiss Guy ;)

I get the same rainbow artifacting.

[frenchfly]

guys change your config.ini and make these 2 settings are set to 0, this worked for me.

TexFlags.UseVertexArrays=0
TexFlags.VertexArrayExt=0

Changing these settings only got rid of the the weird glow inside the cockpit and outside when firing weapons. I too get the rainbow artifacting more so on the F4F vs G4M track then any other. This is the only game that I get this kind of behavior from this card (4870) which is annoying because I play it more than any other, but in saying this I can also confirm that after playing countless missions I have only got the artifacting a couple of time for only a fraction of a second while in the cockpit. I wonder if this could be addressed by ATI with a driver update.
