On the first track, where the aircraft get blown up on the run way...i think the way they bounce all over the place is a bit over the top, youd think wings and stuff would get blown off but not for the plains to act like bouncy balls :P

Where is this track? The patch updated itself in Steam but no tracks exist in the tracks menu.

I had trouble finding the track as well- i found it eventually in:
C: program files (x86)/steam/steamapps/common/il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover/ records
It seems that's where the steam updater puts it. Once you've located it you can copy-paste it where your other tracks get put.

I ran the new Black Death track and I'm not satisfied at all.
I even got minimum of 3fps and this is outrageous for my brand new system. Not to mention that it doesn't seem like a "difficult" track. OK, it had some explosions and a few planes, but it's not like we had 60 planes fighting all together over London.

This game should not "compete" on how to become as unplayable as it can be and regretfully a simple track like new Black Death shows that developers have a lot of issues to solve before this game becomes playable like IL-2.

Doesn't work for me - I don't get a file select window opening, just the select and back buttons :(

edit: sorted - i had aero disabled

Dolphin if you have a new system I suspect something is drastically wrong. You should be getting better frames than that.

With an overclocked i5 2500K and gtx570 I am getting an average of 61 in the Black Death track, lowest frames are 16, and thats with all settings on Very High with SSAO off.

I found my machine runs smoother with everything turned up for some reason. I have an nVidia card obviously but changing settings in Control panel to 'prefer maximum performance' and upping the maximum pre-rendered frames from 3 to 8 helped also.

I'd suggest experimenting with settings because that can't be right. It might still be buggy but high end machines can run this up full. A teammate with a similar system gets the same results as I do, so you should be getting better.

S!

Post your specs man ... how can anyone help without them?

As for me - (stuffed up my original post)

All in game settings on Medium

Min Max Avg
22 139 64.627

I'm thinking of getting the new 3GB 580GTX (no not 590) but I'll wait till SLI / Crossfire is enabled in CoD.

I'm starting to suspect that nVidia GPU's are holding the upper hand at the moment.

Gadje 04-19-2011 09:34 AM

Sorry forgot to mention that.

With nVidia Inspector you can link to the IL2 CoD exe. I think ATI cards have a similar tool.

Wolf_Rider 04-19-2011 09:35 AM

okay, thanks

what is the COD.exe though?
