Agree 100%, what is the point adding a bunch of silly features if the game can't actually be played for more than 45 mins at a time without crashing?

Hi piotras,

your membership level suggests that you haven't made many posts here (but that doesn't mean you haven't been following the Threads). However you need to understand that the dev team have been working on this for months and have explained why it is taking so long. They have, in fact, been re-building the game. "Fixing CloD" covers many aspects and they won't all get fixed at once.

btw what they showed us wasn't 'old IL-2' it was what is coming in BoM, the sequel to BoB, which should carry many 'core' upgrades that will improve CoD.

That's exactly what I said in my post LOL! First beta patch "only" graphics/performance improvements.:grin: Ok, alles klar!

machoo, 'graphics' and 'performance' are being used interchangeably: read framerate and stutters. Remember that the graphics will likely not be very different in the patch according to earlier comments and the goal is to increase graphics performance.

Well, it's like jimbop says:

According to what we've been told in previous updates the graphics improvements are aimed to increase performance, not change the visuals: the sim will not look different, it will just run faster.


On another note:

Question - So this patch will fix the beta release clod and we will no longer ctd ect when flying in formations in multiplayer? Is it more of a server code issue or was it all a graphics memory leak issue? Everyone I have talked to experiences this we all reboot before flying and one by one everyone ctd's at some point, I think there is one lucky fellow out of 6-8 that does not. It doesnt matter what graphics settings are used it only helps in that it takes a little longer to ctd with the graphics turned way down.

Would you please ask Luthier if the team are planning to implement a more realistic engine temperature model where operating temperature is dependent on:

altitude (colder air at altitude = cooler)
airspeed (more air through radiator = cooler)
radiator obstructions (like lowered landing gear leg on spit)
mixture (richer mixture = cooler)
boost (lower boost = cooler)
rpm (lower rpm = cooler) WE HAVE THIS ONE

Also radiator flap setting should affect speed and yaw.


Some interesting notes from Spit II manual:

The coolant temperature is controlled by a thermostatic control (automatic) and a radiator flap which regulates the flow of air through the radiator, but which cannot be fully closed. The position of the radiator flap affects the lateral trim of the aircraft (the radiator being under the starboard wing) and can usually be kept in the closed position during cruising flight.

ACTIONS AFTER TAKE-OFF
Close the radiator shutter (unless a high power climb is done, when the lever should be a little forward).

Thank you

That's what i'm talking about. These are perfect posts for an update thread.

Thanks for cooperating with us gentlemen, keep it up ;)

Thanks for the update, I think the pictures look great. I don't know why these threads have to turn so ugly, it is A SIM/GAME, granted, a very complex one, but I think people need to keep this in perspective. This game as it stands still surpasses any flight sim out there in my opinion. It has issues, will have issues, but just keep the faith. Go outside, enjoy upcoming spring, and the skirts getting shorter :razz:

Looks great

The iL2screen shots are clearly from the New development work for BoM and as stated work in progress.No where in the old iL2 series would you find grass ,ground ,tree and shadow textures as shown in the first screenshot:rolleyes:
Reading the Feb17th & Feb 24th updates its clearly indicated that a great deal of work is being done on other bugs and suggestions.ie FM as well as game performance.
It may be that the Performance Beta will be released first for testing to make sure that the game flow is fluid without crashes prior to the additional rectifications & fixes being added.I know nothing of how the code is done but it definately seems to be a sensible move as repairing any bugs in the new performance engine may effect the other work that the team have already done.
I hope the XFire & Sli problems will also have been resolved in the Beta patch too.Quite looking foreward to its release :)

Hi Klem,

I exactly know what I see, that is screen from sequel called BoM, but what do you think it is really fair talking about next project before they finish previous one?That's I mean "joke".I don't want to see screen or movie from BoM I just want to get finisched game, that'all.Maybe I expect too much,maybe I should to spent next 40euro or more and wait nex 7 years.That is redicules.
