How do you turn on FFB? I don't seem to have any on my G940.

VSync is working fine for me! I know because I have maxed 60fps when flying alone over the channel. HD6850 here with W7/32

No it won't, the cache has nothing to do with steams version checking, nor is it located under the games directories, it contains temporary files created every time a mission is run . Since the initial release if the launcher crashes on startup after updating, deleting the files found in the cache has allowed to the launcher to run in many cases.

Navigate to "\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover", and open "conf.ini" in notepad or similar,then search for [rts_joystick] there should be a single entry in this block FF=x ensure it is set to 1, save and close.

One note, FFB takes a little while to affect the stick after launching into a mission there is some delay before it kicks in.

Can't get it to launch with the new patch. A few seconds of the Target Icon and then it fails.

Hi experts,
stupid question but just in case: how do I install the new patch? Just unzip it to...where? To Program Files(x86)/Steam -folder...? That's the place where the game installed itself from DVD.

/Steam/steamapps/common/il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover

Just put it in the last map

ok if you say it works for you.

S!

Ok, cleared Cache and re-launched game. Graphical issues solved. Stutter was still there no matter what so began testing. Finally disabled Grass = game smooth as ever. The FPS is much more solid at higher detail levels and resolutions. Still at Free Flight over France the industrial complexes noticeably kill FPS.

The "3 stripes of horizon" are visible up to around 1200m (~4000ft) and after that they begin to blend to the fog disappearing from sight. Not a game killer for me, but sure worth a look.

Shadows flicker on trees mostly, clouds are fine. Tracks can not be used as testing for graphical things as there ALL shadows flicker, also the ones from clouds. But noticed increase in average FPS in Black Death, which is more important than maximum. Also minimum was bit better. We could use a Loop option for tracks like in old IL-2 as they seem to run better after a few times.

The console error messages are not present in QMB at least so must be track related issues. Can it be that if track is made on other machine/version it MIGHT cause these messages in current version?

A few more patches and we will see how CrossFire will work. Eagerly waiting for that as I have another 6970HD pending already ;) Make sure to file driver feedback to AMD if any issues, but would good to hear from Luthier & Team of their experiences/issues with AMD so we can report things that actually are from drivers, not the game code.

Back to testing.

This might be related the new full screen mode. If you turned off 'Aero' desktop composition for Launcher.exe then try putting it back on and you'll see the standard windows File Select dialog.

Thanks for the patch :)

Some things seems broken though , like in the quick mission builder I select a different plane apart from the Hurricane but the Hurricane still keeps being used. FPS seem to have been lost also.

Flanker35M 04-22-2011 09:04 PM

S!

I have Aero off and no problems with the tracks, can select them fine.
