October 18, 2012 - Patch 1.11.20362 is now live on steam!

[He111]

ok, uploading now .. hoping, fingers crossed ..

Overall VERY GOOD! (Grphx setting everything on max except land shading)

Still bugs though,
(1) OVerall FPS a tad smaller though not much.
(2) Clouds are still a tad poppy though not as bad as beta patch - would be good to have long distance sprite clouds, slowly merge into proper clouds but will that effect FPS, like (4) ???
(3) Trying to fire gun as gunner on 110 doesn't work, even worse than before though adding animation of ammo box replacement excellent.
(4) still a FPS hit with dust clouds (<10) on takeoffs but only for a few seconds then FPS 20+, team have been working on this ? - better
(5) Condor front gunner still refuses to fire if you change 7.9 MG to 2.0 Cannon, hope this isn't the same for all AI gunners who have their gun changed from default ?

more to come ..

In Blenheim and He111 gunner's work, but in 110 you can only fire if no enemy aircraft in vicinity...

BTW - Ammo box replacement (in 110) animation exist since first version of CloD.
I record this video in April 2011 - "Human gunner".

Well all I can say is I`m done with this.......!Still graphic performance not good,i have to play @ 1440x900 not even all maxed out(buildings low,trees low,no grass,texture high,all rest in medium),i did all the procedure etc!Oh weel i`ll wait for BOM i guess.......unless they release the SDK for it
Having some fun betatesting WT!
Cheers all

There must be something wrong with your configuration as I get great performance at 1280x1024 (more total pixels to render than 1440x900) and with things almost all on high. I have a worse system than you (E8400 @stock 3GHz, GTX460 1gb and 4gb ram) but get 60fps at altitude, 40 steady near the ground. No stuttering either unlike the early build of the game.

Maybe you should check to see that you cleared the cache and that you aren't getting overheating the CPU or GPU.

Doesn't sound right kakkola, my spec isn't that much more than yours and CoD doesn't hammer the Processor like IL-2 '46. Your video card is the same as mine and I run on High with Anti-Epilepsy off, SSAO off, Vsynch on, Grass off, Forest very low (it will run more but I don't like the effect), Buildings Amount Medium, Building Detail low. Texture quality is Original but you can play with that.

Are you running Windows 7 or XP?

Been away for a while. New patch? that demands a test flight on ATAG.

Shot up a friendly first run, muffin123 I think? sorry about that err... l'il bit rusty...

then ran smack bang into a 3-4 ship of 109E-3s. Hit 2 killed 1

took hits, pulled a turn too hard and spun. shortly thereafter crash landed with a canopy covered in oil. Last time that happened to me the 109 pilot followed me down as I spun emptying his guns into me. A bit harsh I thought, considering spits could no way get close enough behind the much faster 109 to get more than a long range pot shot.

Spits can now officially tangle with 109s, speed difference is minimal though vertical tactics still heavily favor the 109. Good relative performance albeit at low level 5-6k feet. This is much more like the reports from real pilots.

Merlin doesn't cook itself quite so quick now either.

Gotta get me a headset and team up, lone wolfing against teams is suicide. I was very lucky to score my hits, and to survive the crash landing.

But I'll definitely be spending some time on ATAG servers now.

Congrats Luthier, BlackSix & whole CLOD team. Best of luck with the sequel I shall keep an eye out.

Regards, Sam.

@ Klem,
Hey thx for reply,i tried everything,reinstalling,delete cache etc...if i fly alone is fine ,but if i have other planes gets worse,if i fly low stutters with grass and trees(1920x1080),at 1440x900 is decent but not really nice to look at.......maybe a problem with ram?(8gig)oh i have win 7 64
Thx!!!!cheers

Hi kakkola,

I'm away from my PC right now, and this may have already been covered (in which case please disregard with my apologies), but here's something to try if not done already:

Navigate to C:/Programs(x86)/Steam/Steam Apps/Common/Il2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover

Locate the Launcher.exe file and right click on it

Select the "Properties" tab in the menu pop up

Locate "Enable Desktop Composition" and uncheck it (ie you're disabling Desktop Composition)

Click "Apply" and exit

If you've not tried that already, I hope it helps!

Resolution is a big hitter and although 1920x1080 is common today my reading of posts over the past 18 months is that it can be a bit of a cliff edge for some systems, probably because of limited Video RAM and general Video Card capability. My screen is native 1680x1050 so perhaps resolution is one of your main problems.

Windows 7 is fine and implies you are running DirectX10 or 11. Directx9 has always been a problem in CoD but it was sold as Dx9 compatible and I suspect that has led to dumbing down the graphics to comply. I suspect the sequel will say Dx10 or better. 8Gb ram is more than enough. 1.28Gb Video Ram is just enough for my setup but probably not really enough for 1920x1080 on higher settings. The Video Card (GPU) is the biggest culprit when it comes to performance (if we disregard the biggest culprit of all which is generally believed to be a poor game engine - I'm not an expert on graphics).

Try reducing Textures, it may help without spoiling the look too much, and be sure SSAO is off.
