Hi all and thanks Daidalos Team for the 4.12m patch.
Is't possible to get some details about the Dedicated Server?

1- What's up about AIs view thru clouds?
2- How manage the "Show Team Score" and "Cumulative Team Score" features?

Thx by advance.

I have already sent this to the TD email but am reposting here to see if any others are having similar issues:

I have an unusual issue since installing the 4.12 patch - it went over a clean unmodded 4.11.1 and proved erratic at first: I had no sky or ground textures, just black but could see aircraft airfields etc, so I reapplied the 4.11.1 patch and redownloaded the 4.12 (via torrent the 2nd time) to make sure I had uncorrupted installs.

Every seemed to be fixed, except that I now cannot exit missions using the 'Esc' key. Troublesome to say the least!

All other keyboard commands work. I downloaded latest drivers for my GPU (GTX 560Ti, now running 320.18 drivers), have ensured my game .exe is being run as administrator in Windows 7 mode - my current OS - and even also tried running as XP SP 3 mode but still no luck and now I am bang out of ideas.

I'm running the game at 1920x1080x32 in Fullscreen with Wide FoV. I notice that I get a windows mouse cursor in game all the time, not just when I open my map; is windows somehow not recognising Il-2 as the primary program?

All other games including an HSFZ modded version of 4.11.1 do not have this problem and respond normally to the 'Esc' key; is there something I am missing?

Cheers again.

I will add that I have since done a full install from scratch, from dvd, applying all patches and manually converting the conf.ini and all user files and completely from default remapping my controls in case it was a compatibility issue with pulling over legacy .ini files and...

... the problem still persists. Given that i get a windows cursor even in mission, I'm assuming that somehow Il-2 is not getting priority for display or commands, yet all other keys work save the 'Esc'. I can open HSFX 6 immediately after and all functions normally.

It's a bit odd!

Any help would be much appreciated!

Edit: Extra information - the cursor in the GUI is standard windows white arrow not the yellow chevron normally associated with Il-2. Are you guys all getting the standard yellow chevron?

Fenrir:
Check you conf.ini
In section [Hotkey gui] make sure you have the following line:
Escape=activate

In section [rts] make sure that
mouseuse=2

If there's a 1 there, that's the cause for Windows system pointer appearing instead of the game one.

This is a known issue encountered by a few players if i'm not mistaken.

This is something that only happened to me and not a bug from 4.12, already solve by change from printscreen (that need a special key from my laptop) to End (that dont need the special key).

Russian B1-6 (B6-1? Heck, I can't remember) - the one with the 2 ramjets on the wings.

Has unlimited power/range even when plane is out of fuel. The ramjets keep on workin and providing unlimited thrust/power.

P40-N2 mission: although you're the wingman, you can instruct no. 3 and no 4. to attack the enemy fighters (while your own leader is still alive). No 3 and 4 will follow you instead of the real leader temporarily. After some time you get the wingman role again and the AI follows your leader. Seems like a small AI bug to me.

The mission is normally set to dusk conditions and under these conditions none of the P40's will be able to succesfully attack the Me's that perform the ground attack. When set to daylight conditions, the P40's will however attack.
