The track is included in your game mate..

desigabri
"I get better results at 1920x1080 resolution then 1600x1200, 1372x???, 1024x768."

Well what CPU do you have? it sound like a CPU bottle neck..

Getting smoother fps on this patch.. the sounds are a joke and we can hear the samples so well.. and where are the bass gone?. New sounds= misery well actually all sounds of the IL2 line is bad..

@kakkola: you are free to do whatever you want: the respect of laws is a free choice. But I can't stand people coming here and arguing about performances about a cracked copy of the game.

@insuber

I agree with that!

You mean: CoD will see a transition into a full-fledged WWII Combat Flight Simulation, rather than still being little more than a demonstration software. Right?
Sigh, I wish I had such marketing skills :rolleyes:

I agree GOZR in a quick test the sounds to me lack bass, they are very tinny. But I DO like the sound, I just need more low end then I'll be happy.

I'm really looking forward to some AA and more performance improvement in the next coming patches.

True kestrel79 the sounds seems to respond quite quickly and this is very good..
In an aircraft of that caliber pilots are wearing headset that muffled the sounds and actually cut the high range band of the sounds. all the squirks sound from a boat are complitly not there.. just on a glider.
I'm perplex if ClOD programmer or sounds design techs dev effects did actually flew or test ride inside an WW2 aircraft or even something modern high powered Pistons engine or Turbine. ( it should be mandatory for them to do so )
All the crackles sounds should be replace by buffets winds ( Props or actual winds ) sounds.
+When a plane change direction you should be able to feel it in the sounds around the fuselage wings/canopy .

There is a good reason why the microphone of a pilot is not place away on the dashboard.. ;)

Wearing an headset also can give you a perfect perception of your engine sounds and really actually tune it in flight.
Remember the headset is not made to let you fly soundless.

but, you know, I don't wear such a headset. Right? Whining about bass in the sound at this point is borderline physical assault. Those Darts of 'intelligence' really hurt...

Well.. " I don't wear such a headset" If you fly the sim you should be like if you were.. simple..


Anyway The sounds need tuning and i guess it will be very good.

So...fire up the game to see what the patch is like...Quick mission, Hurris v 109s...Planes in air still look fab...Tracers seem to be improvement...Approve the sun glare. Anyway, I avoid being shot down and head for home. Once over Blighty I'm disappointed with the new ground colours - at once both faded and dirtied up. Still, nothing game-breaking. Land the old hurribus at Hawkinge, taxi to a halt and open the canopy. What happen next I'm gobsmacked by...

I hear a growl in the distance, which soon becomes recognizably Merlin-like. I see my wingman approach and proceed to do a victory roll over the field. He does this a couple more times, but what really amazes me is that I could almost be at an airshow in terms of the engine-sound. It's not quite a proper Merlin, but just the way the note changes as the plane manouevres is very evocative and unlike anything I've heard in a sim to date.

It may not have an impact on the way the game plays, but I just wanted to give the devs the thumbs' up for this enhancement

Very pleased with latest patch. I did get an initial very noticable fps hit and more stuttering but did all the usual routines plus I found the Launcher.exe had gone from nVidia control panel and had to be added again. Now have an increase in fps and very few stutters. Great to see the cockpit reflections again. One thing that has always been missing and although not important would be nice to see is objects reflected in the water especially trees at the waters edge as in IL-2 Classic. They were in the early CloD screen shots, certainly from ships but like quite a few things have dropped by the wayside. Maybe after the important stuff is sorted they will come back.

Flyingblind- what do you mean by:
"I found the Launcher.exe had gone from nVidia control panel and had to be added again. Now have an increase in fps and very few stutters. " ?
I have a Nvidia card, is there an adjustment I can make to increase framerates and remove stutters?

+1 Please explain better, I'm curious too.
Thanks

You can set options for quality via the nvidia cpl for every single application, if you like. So you can add a custom profile for CloD (here you must select the launcher.exe in you steamapps clod dir as application) where you can set various options to enhance either quality or performance.

Ask google about a step-by-step howto.

Ok thanks, I thought about some command line to add to the.exe by the property panel.

Up untile recently Launcher.exe wouldn't stay in nVidia control panel. You could add it and use the various settings but when the control panel was closed it would lose Launcher.exe from the list of applications. It would be gone on restarting the panel. Plus any settings used had no effect on CloD.

I suddenly found that Launcher.exe was being retained in my control panel even after a complete system shut down and restart although the settinbgs still seems to be having a limited if any effect on the game.

It has always seemed to me that the code put out by the developers is exactly the same for everyone so if one person has good, smooth fps and another has rubbish fps with stutters then the problem must lie somewhere on the computers software, hardware or both. I was getting good and reasonably smooth fps prior to the last official release but afterwards had quite a hit on both. Other people were reporting an improvement so it seemed a bit pointless blaming the game or the developers.

I spent a bit of time going through all the various suggestions and ideas that have been posted on the causes of poor fps and one of the last things I looked at was my nVidea control panel. The Launcher.exe was no longer listed so I added it again. On restarting CloD again I found my fps were now better that they have ever been.

Now I am not saying that having Launcher.exe in the control panel is the reason my fps improved. It may have been or it may just have been a coincidence but it seems reasonable to think that the update installation had changed some settings on my system for the worse and it was a case of trying everything possible, obvious or obscure, in the hope of solving the problem.

As it happens, I succeded, or I could have just said, 'This game sucks, I'll just shelve it untile the developers fix my problem'.

@flyingblind
Most settings on the card (i.e. the controlpanel for the card) has proven to be non functional. V-sync does nothing AA does nothing.
Perhaps you had AA applied in the games video settings. Then when adding launcher to your cards controlpanel the settings for the AA was "override games settings" thus effectivly turning off the games AA while applying the nonexisting card AA!?
Just a thought. Hope you understood what I wrote.

I have vsync working in nvidia control panel global settings, no AA though

belly-shut. I'm wearing a pointed cap and slim headphones, like the american bomber pilots. See the flaw?

Did you fly before in RL ? just a question.. i'm having some hard time understanding the sens of this..

Vsync works for me I have it on in control panel and off in game and it works fine.

Yes, thanks, I see what you are saying. I actually use those FXAA file thingys dropped in my root folder to get AA.

I was more trying to point out that I, like a number of others, found the official patch seemed like a backwards step performance wise. What I actually found was the download had changed some of my settings and after a bit of tinkering the performance made an increase over pre patch. Adding Launcher.exe back into the control panel was the last thing I tried but I cannot say for sure how much of an effect this had or if any settings helped or even worked. It just might be worth a try for others.

The big problem for PCs and games as complex as CloD is that there are so many variables it is impossible for a developer to guarantee his game will run the best it can on every system or how it will interact. You just have to research and experiement rather than simply blame the code. As someone else said in a post - if you weren't a computer expert before buying CloD you'll probably become one after.

yes I did. I'm not holding any pilot's licence but I did fly in a cessna once or twice. It was not very 5.1 surround hyper-bass-boost, to say the least. Also, I didn't wear a leather cap.
I propose that if you want to muffle your sound to leather-cap level, do it yourself...

It could be programmed according to your pilot-figure, headphones or cap with headphones :)

When I started up today, Steam helpfully installed an update, changing my installation from V1.02.14821 to V1.05.15950. There may well be improvements, but so far the main difference is that the graphics are now hopeless.
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...463913&thumb=1
Any suggestions, please?

I m really interested to see the name of the forum. !!
Very nice Posts..

Check the epilepsy filter in the graphics option, sometimes it activates itself. If it doesn't work, empty the cache under 1C SoftClub folder. If nothing else works, then wipe out and reinsall the game from scratch.

:) Thank you. Unchecking the epilepsy filter did the trick.

A vault where we can play online MP scenarios without the constant strain of cheating.

when did that happen?

Proof that there is/was cheating or take it back, this sim had enough bad-mouthing!

No wall of smokes guys.

I love this sim and even more the freedom of speech.

SO y'd better roll away !

I take that as: there is no proof, only imagination.

Thanks for the clarification.

Assuming VAC actually works as advertised, I find the whole setup hilarious.

"YEAH, I'M RUINING THE SHIT OUT OF THIS GAME, LOOK AT THESE CHUMPS HAHA"

<two weeks later>

"WHAT?!!?! I can't play this game online EVER AGAIN?!"

Then again, I don't think we have any idea whether it does work properly. It's not like anyone is going to sacrifice their account to find out.

I think it's funny you put that on devs. That was not in my mind.

Even the best written code will be ever ... crackable. It's more on ppl mind. And sadly nothing can be done for that outside of education and exemplary behavior.

So I am just asking for some improvement in that field: strengthen the weak parts and setup some highly secure zone were outside third party softwares won't be available or get any plugs on the code online (there it will be possible to ctrl every lines without dispersing efforts outside of alrdy limited ressources (no HL, no Ventrillo etc...).

Cheating is a plea for online gaming. The steam approaches was good but needs some results now that users have swallowed that pill. There is no easy result with concession there.

[VAC IMHO can't work with HL the way I see that only on basic strategies grds]

Rob with much respect I wonder what's in your mind that you can draw such a conclusion with only the 3 lines of text I had just wrote :confused:

And in fairness he asked you for proof of which is ?????
I too value freedom of speech which should go along the premise of innocent until proven guilty.
If there is provable cheating going on surely you should be posting the details to the developers and the server hosting.

No track no proof. How funny you are.

And by any standard no one (no players, no devs) will loose as much time as a cheater to build its own trick. That's why cheating will always prevail or be part of any sim. And as CoD is mature enough today that's why I think they shld build a coherent strategy against it.

That's all I said. no finger tipping. No howling at the full moon or staring at a dumb apple pretending I saw it lifting in the air.

Ohh but maybe you want to discuss the FM of such an apple ? ;)

I have had the game since the day it was released, and actually today was first time I had time to really play it.

Wov I am hooked now:)

-Masi

So...without any evidence of cheating do you still think it should be a priority to put resources now into something that may not even become a problem or is it better to work on more pressing matters then deal with an exploit with a patch when they actually know what to fix?

If I recall correctly it took many years before any useable cheats (beyond gaming-the-game exploits like the RayBanJockey trim-on-a-slider type) to be used in IL2. IL2 was probably the most secure online game I've ever encountered up until somebody managed to de-compile the code, and even then it was mostly limited to play-at-your-own-risk servers.

Sure it's gonna get hacked eventually but I'm not so sure it will be much less manageable than IL2 was. And with VAC it should be even harder.

De nada! :)

I have regular freezes with CTD, and the common factor is that the RAM is filled up at 80% (6.4 GB out of 8 GB). After terminating the game, the memory goes suddenly down to the usual 25%.

Cheers,
6S.Insuber

Yes I do. The fact that some cheat mod of old Il2 are seen now on CoD is the sigh that it's time to act.

End of arguments here for me. This is not a thread opened for that kind of conversation.

I'll pay for this one! After several months with the game shelved I had a go with the new patch, and it was a complete disappointment in terms of performance/stability. :confused:

~S~

I'm sorry to hear you have performance issues, it's also very surprising considering your PC's specs. It's running fine on my system, better not upgrade LOL! Seriously, maybe you should check all your systems' parts or something.(?)

Its strange when you see people having problems on 'high end' rigs. My computer plays CoD pretty good on lower settings.

Yeah MC. I don't see how your syst can't run CoD. Sad to read it btw. Perhaps you shld hve a close look at your backgrd program list.

Thanks for all the inputs.

Although I am not a computer expert, I am what I would call a computer optimizer freak…

My system comes from a clean install (3 weeks ago) with all Win updates and drivers (Intel, soundcard, GPU, controllers, etc.)

All I can say is that my system runs every single game I own at very high or full details with great playability.

e.g. Empire Total War, CoD, Crysis 2 and recently BF3... I can run FSX with very high settings and tons of add-ons @ 30 fps average. Black Shark, FC2 and A-10 also run terrible good in my system.

After the last patch I am experiencing terrible stutters/freezes (3 secs +) along with computer lockups (need to hit the reset button) and CTD’s. I guess I can wait a few more months… :(

Regards.

Well, of course it runs "bad" compared to other games, it's not finished yet. Luthier has basically confirmed this by havin the team rebuild the whole graphics engine. I run metro 2033 on high settings, empire total war, a-10 warthog and so on. Only Clod is struggling for me and many others, that pretty much says it all. You also have to consider what good performance means, for me it means a game thats running in 30 fps or more during 96% of the time I'm playing the game. I don't like games with rollercoaster performance, 7 fps here 102 fps there, that's a sign of sloppy programming, all IMHO of course.

How often is it recommended that people clean and reinstall windows?

I've been having some performance issues and I haven't done a clean install for 2 years. Will my BIOS settings stay the same if I do do this?

Well run a serious defragmentation and a DOS launched scandisk (ran from from Windows automatically) and then you'll see wht hardware wld be needed.

Done all the stress tests... After all I do have my i7 @ 4.2 Ghz.

Prime, intelburntest, memtest... You name it, I have run them all!

Cheers.

PS1: All of my drives + registry are defraged.

PS2: Now, while flying, I have popup windows saying that my system is low on memory. Epic fail the way things are for me right now... :evil:

Here I do it every 6 months +-.
A clean install won't mess with your BIOS settings. Just make sure you backup your documents/work/files, bookmarks, emails (if they are locally stored) and game settings/configurations/controls.

Regards.

MC that was not meant for you but for UndPilot87 :-P;)

@ MC, system memory to low is referring to your virtual memory, you will need to increase the size that is listed there.

I used to get this message when I had XP, since I have upgraded to Win7 Ultimate I had this pop up once, when I checked my virtual memory setting it was controlled by windows. I changed it accordingly and never had it again.

If your not familiar with the process to change virtual memory, youtube has many videos there to show how.

Cheers!

Whiskey

If your machine is using your paging file then you're going to be screwed for performance because you've run out of RAM.

Thanks for the input.

I usually set manually the amount of virtual memory in my machine.

I set the same amount (2048 Mb) for min and max values in order the gain the most performance of it.

Note: there are several sources that claim a performance improvement this way. Same sources also recommended that the virtual memory (page file) size should be relatively low e.g. 1024 to 2048 Mb in order to gain the most of it.

I will try it with the recommended (OS) setting (6130 Mb).

Regards.

It's gonna be my favorit game
 

Hey All

I dont know if this is the right place to share with.
I like the game even of the stutters even of the sporadic CDT's.
Finally I shoot down some ME's 109 in MP its just a great feeling, when you hit the enemy and suddenly, dense black smoke tells you the fight is over:rolleyes:
But more often i chase the enemy plane, sometimes for minutes, trying to bring small firebursts right in the Target. But i miss so much, especially when i try to shoot in the flightradius (What is normaly standart if the enemy tries to escape). I think its actually because i can hardly see the full way of the tracer amunition in wide angle view, so i can't estimate where precisely i have to aim for (It seems the tracers disappears after a few Meters). When i compare this when i zoom in, then i see clearly the way of the bullets. But when flying betwen 20-50m behind the enemy i cant use the zoom. Does anybody share this experience? I dont know if it is a matter of proportions and not better realizable!?!

See you in the Air...

Now that largest bugs have been (or will be) fixed in the engine and the AI will be corrected, it would be nice to see some new content. What about some French and Dutch fighters and a extension to western contentinental map? I think it's now time to expand this game with some new content. After that, please put all your efforts into a eastern expansion. I'd love to see some Yak's and Me's in an early 1941 eastern campaign.

Best build yet!! Very smooth.

Thank you :)

CEM in recorded tracks still broken :lol:

All in good time...

Cheers, Neil :)

Thanks guys. I'm really enjoying flying this Sim. I get fair FPS, ave. 45-70, but still notice some stuttering, not bad though. Will the flickering ground & tree shadows be sorted? I'm worried it may give me epilepsy, :P

I cannot wait for the next patch and hope after that more mainstream IL2 squadrons will start to feature online, hopefully with more Servers featuring externals and maybe open cockpit. Full real is okay for the Sim Buff junkies, but give us regular blokes some fun too.
Bomb and Weapons Presets need more work as I'm losing saved Bomb presets & Weapons presets under loadouts. After extensive setting up and saving they simply dissappear.
I would suggest a more friendly QMB as the Quick & Single Missions are limited and appear to lack consistency regarding Bomb sets and Loadouts. Would be nice if more missions were available.
I'm sure a quick fix is feasible to access & edit bombs sets and weapons loadouts directly though QM instead of needing customizing though Planes under Options.

Given time this Sim will rock and survive the next 10 years as the undisputed Best WW2 combat sim ever.

ok, I still cannot get use to the engine sounds in the latest patch .. my emil sounds like a russian tractor. That cannot be realistic ? The sound of the Emil in Barflys Battle of Britain trailer sounds alot better .. :( Any "offically approved" sound patch available? Thanks

BTW, if I play a single quick mission and let it play to the end when all plays land and vanish, and exit, it says all these planes were shot down ??????

Game seems more stable with latest patch, few GPU driver crashes.

and as always, would love to see the Deffy flyable.

Actually it's very good

Hmmmm are these the same as Barflys? .. or this? i must be going def .. fy

You lost me there.

CODs Emil engine sounds nothing like barflys one or the one in the video I linked to.

Either that or I'm going deaf.

examples

Defiant should have RR merlin, this doesn't sound like a merlin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUR2vKdi-Eo

And the Emil's engine doesn't sound like the low throb of a daimler - pitch seems too high?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK8FCklrSGw



.

The internal sounds sounds very close to the internal CD recording to me. Like a real 109. The external sound sounds way better than it use to from the case but it still needs a lot of work.

The videos that Richie provided links (at least the parts I listened to) sounded like they were recorded inside the cockpit. As opposed to the video that you provided. That is going to have a big impact on the sound.

It also seems like the sound recording quality is higher in Richie's videos, which may have used proffessional equipment. If you listen to some of the background sounds in the Barfly video, you can tell the audio is not that great.

That being said, I think there is a common phenomenon where people experience things often enough (whether sound or visuals) in video games or movies, and take that to be authentic or true to life. I've done it, and I suspect most simmers have as well. Sometimes we end up seeing/hearing something that is more authentic, but rejecting it because it doesn't fit our expectations.

Cheers,
Auger73

I could be wrong, but wasn't the latest barfly video created using footage and sounds from before the beta / official patch that even had the upgraded sound engine in them, but instead was using one of the sound mods floating around?

What happened to the 3D support is there still plan to enable it some future patch? Or is there way to enable it now?

What we are expecting and what we are getting are unfortunately 180 degrees apart.

Doesnt matter what the degree is that they are aprt.. only the actual distance in between them

You know you can't allways get everything you want, But I think the developers are doing a prity good job of getting this sim up to and beyond my expectations :)

Stem will not update
 

Can I get some help? Steam does not update, there is no Update Box or Auto Update Box, and COD does not update???????


Thx

GF

if you have installed Clod by downloading it through steam, there is no need to update, as it is in its updated version already.

I bought it Retail, in a Box.

Can I download it somewhere?

Thx.

Expect the unexpected.

Rightclick CloD in Steam for its properties. Select "Check game files/cache integrity".

You can see your version number in main game menu btw.

"Rightclick CloD in Steam for its properties. Select "Check game files/cache integrity"."

I have no such animal.

All I have is SECURITY DETAILS PREVIOUS GENERAL SHORTCUT COMPATIBILITY

Got it. Thanx!!!

Just a quick question as I've been away from these forums for a good while and not tried IL2 CoD for as long too until last night for another look ... I'm aware of a big work-over patch being worked on as posted in this thread and I'm on patch v1.05.15950 that I'd have got from Steam, but is there a newer beta patch I should be on or at least trying while waiting for a newer official patch?

I bought IL2 Cod on day one and knew it had potential even then, but I've been out of the loop and had a fair blast flying it last night and again this morning.

Dont use foul language.

Please read the rules.

For the name of the good Lord, don't bump old patches threads!

???

Shouldn't they be closed if they are not meant to be added to, this thread was a sticky after all and its not as if it could get bumped far ... oh and thanks for your helpful response :rolleyes:

Not yet mate, we're all patiently waiting. ;)

Thanks, seems like its been a while since the last patch so hopefully the forthcoming official one will be worth waiting for.

:D

I have to admit that I didn't read the full title of the thread properly (Can't find my specs) and nearly lost bladder control...... only to find it was referring to the last patch.

This may explain his response to you, Katana. :D

LOL ... I've just had a big lecture from pupu162 in PM because he thought it might be new news too (he could have handled it better though) as I've mentioned I'm only picking up interest in the sim again and decided to post here to see if there was any new beta patch news over my last official patch.

But yeah, now that I look at my post and its date, it was a long time from the last one for regulars to read ... but I'm sure if there was any major new news it would be worthy of a separate thread.

Sorry if I built anyone's hopes up, maybe threads like this should be closed after a certain period of inactivity until the next update?

Us Flight Simmers are certainly a passionate group and I would like to see an update for this sim as much as anyone.

I think too its good we bump threads like this some times, it lets Luthier know we are still wondering and waiting and haven't given up hope on the sim we want as good as possible.

Peace :cool:

PS: I see Pupo162 got moderated, I never reported him before he gives me a hard time in PM again, that stuff is not my style ... he wanted to report me too !!!

A hard time on pm?

i explained to you my attituted, you insulted me. And adding to that you dicided to discuss Private messages here in public. oh, and i wanted to report you for insults. nothing else.

Thanks for the hard work to all the team, and thanks for your patience and faithful service B6!

How do you disable it?

I'll have to wait a few hours until I'm home form work to update the game. Any chance of screenshots of the new landscape anybody?

not sure if you read it correctly but there is no new patch. this old thread was just bumped. :(

I hinted you gave me a hard time on PM (and you did) and I've discussed nothing personal here or even said anything in our private posts that you initiated or took to another level in private with your silly threats.

Get over it, sorry the email alert you probably got to this thread was not about the new patch, but blaming me is liking shooting a messenger for news you don't like.

Give me a break ... it was my first post here this year.

Welcome back after a year off.

Feel free to post where you want to, so long as its on topic and has no foul language, political or religious slant.

Great work ! awaiting patch now :)

One question : Is the AA fixed?

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. I've been here wathing television and thought I would just check the forum. Got a shock of my life. Well done guys. Great, awesome news. I have to go to bed for work tomorrow but then have five days off. Guess what I'll be doing. :grin:
