Doc have you tried deleting the shader cache files and config files from your IL-2 user directory?

There are issues with the game using old files, deleting these files forces the game to create new ones which are based on the latest version.

Are you also deleting the 1CSoftclub folder in your document and settings directory when you un-install? That's where some of the bugs originate when you've patched a few times.

With your system you should be fine.

But you say you can't so you must not be able!:confused:

I will tell you this -If you do not want a flight sim with realism do not play Cliffs of Dover. You may not want to watch this video. It will only make you more upset. lol

Its really strange, the different results people are getting with even good rigs.

There are issues with deleting old files although I never did that as far as I can remember.

I'm having no problems running CoD and since the last patch (and as a shot in the dark, perhaps since installing RoF) I don't get the MP sound bug. True, the servers don't have many players on atm but while I don't get the problem recently (typically 1 - 2 hours play), others on the same server do.

I'm only running 1680x1050 at mostly High settings with buildings at medium and forest off (don't like those trees or the guys that hide in them).

thats first sign the game is not optimised well....my mate has almost the same rig and ingame settings as I do and hes CLOD is smoother....so...really WTF?

Well, as I've said before, the constant is the game software itself. The variable is the hardware, its software environment including what else is running and the hardware settings (e.g. Nvidia Settings manager) and game settings.

That's quite a barrel of monkeys when you consider the variation possibilities.

I'm PC literate but not being too techy, I'm never sure what people mean when they same 'optimise'. Just what does software need to be optimised for? Seems to me that 'optimisation' is a fix for 'it don't work in the accepted windows environment'. Or is it the Video cards etc that don't fit the generic Windows bill? :headscratch:

optimise...that means you can make buildings looking good without using million poligons or textures or whataver and to run well on modern rigs....thats somehow simplified explanation but youll get the point..

In computer science, program optimization or software optimization is the process of modifying a software system to make some aspect of it work more efficiently or use fewer resources.[1] In general, a computer program may be optimized so that it executes more rapidly, or is capable of operating with less memory storage or other resources, or draw less power.....

So were was the realism, in that vid?
1. you had icons on, not very real:confused:
2. you were using outside view, not very real:confused:
:grin:

Phazon, Yes just done that

xnomad, done that befor i installed
