thanks, although my conf.ini did not have that line already in it....

Do you have the Russian version, or the International one? I have the Int. one.
Anyway, try to put the line in there..

Had the same problem as well as AVG informing me of a virus as part of the loader!
The game ran but the planes and pilots were not displayed and when I ran a mission it would just show the last screen but give me sound.
After an hour of fun i got everything working and thats how it stayed until tonight.
This morning I allowed AVG to pass the software and all ran OK. Tonight I was back to problems, the video driver was reportin that it had crashed under starting the game, a blank screen just before the epi splash screen. I loaded the latest driver as well as the beta driver, still no luck
I then left it alone to try for an answer on the net only to suddenly think the only thing I had not done was disable the antivirus.
I tried this and it worked - for me any way - hope the same works for you:)
Every thing has now slowed though so I'm going to roll the driver back too see if I can get back to a flyable rig
Fingers crossed as it is a stunning game

I have the steam version, bought from the UK

I'm running windows 7, will it still work in DX9?

I have the Steam one. Putting line into conf.ini makes no changes :-/ It is soo wrong :(

Same here... doesn´t work :(

Same to :(

Damn! What have we bought?

Did you disable the Steam Cloud? (rightclick on the CoD in Steam > Properties > Updates > Uncheck "Enable Steam Cloud sync...")
Are you editing the right conf.ini? (c:\Users\xxx\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\)

I think maybe it was the wrong conf.ini
Haven't tried it now, but will soon so I'll report back in 30 minutes or so
