Yeah, I just checked, you're absolutely correct. I wonder what aircraft I was thinking of...

The 38 is definitely off, though.

Unfortunately, no. I really mean full aileron.

Hi Ubies,

I'm Ritchie, new to this forum, fresh from the file front.. First, hats off & many thanks to Team Daedalos for the terrific 4.09 patch, great stuff!

I installed directly upon 1946 4.08m DVD version, German language.
Everything works fine, but there's one glitch that spoils it again for me:
When flying offline, German radio traffic is mutilated. Voices are constantly cut off, on and off, on and off, it's hardly understandable.

Can't get it back to normal! Maybe somebody out there has an idea.

Tried out a couple of things, inside and outside IL-2, but still can’t get a grip on this nervy voice problem. That is, about half of the radio in-flight communication appears as it should, the rest is just dropped. Easy to notice because the written text lines are all complete.

Strangely, it’s not always the same modules that are missing, it’s totally unpredictable.
Example:
> text should be:
- No. 2, verstanden
- No. 3, verstanden
- No. 4, verstanden

> it comes out once as:
- No. 2, ---
- --- , ---
- No. 4, verstanden

> the next time it is:
- --- , ---
- No. 3, verstanden
- --- , verstanden

and so on

As if the virtual playback mixer could no longer count to three.

conf.ini is o.k. & unchanged. Music & sound is o.k. anyway. The. wav voice module files in the speech folder are all there , unchanged and intact.
So the bug – if it is one- is messing up coordination of the voice modules.
Now I’m not a programmer. I’ll post this around and then call it a day.

Have a nice flight

Ritchie

For example skis are not aligned with ground when plane lands, since there is no information available that when they should turn. Problem doesn't exist with Gladiator's skis since they are always alignd with ground, but that's slightly incorrect behaviour for the skis.

Thanks, mate, I understand what you mean. In fact, when I landed I didn't notice what happened, just from the cockpit. It was later when I watched the track that I realized the funny "inmersion" effect.

I attach here the .ntrk file in a Zip package. As I attached it in my last mail directly as a .ntrk file, perhaps something went wrong and you couldn't find the attachment.

Kind regards.

I installed the 4.09m patch international version on a clean 4.08m vanilla version...
I checked the 4.08m version before installing the patch. It worked fine.

After patch 4.09m my game doesnt even start. If i click on the exe nothing happens.

I doubleckecked the downloaded patchfile. It has the correct (i suppose) 566MB. In order to single out a possibly corrupted file i downloaded the patch from another source and tried again... same... no reaction at all...

I run WinXp service pack3, all latest patches, Athlon XP 3200, 2 gig ram, Nvidia 7900 GT 512 MB vram...

As i read in this thread it seems i am not alone..

Guys, i am sorry to say but after all this time for producing the patch you produced a huge bug i would say.

Any help appreciated.

I had a similar problem with installing over a clean copy of 4.08m - a SecuRom error! It's been a long time since I saw one of those
Even when I put in the disc it wouldn't work: told me I had the wrong disc and shut me down. To get around this, I asked a mate of mine who had a non-SR version with 4.09 installed to send me his il2fb.exe file, and that worked just fine.

Also, I fixed up a mate of mine by getting him to substitute his new mg_snd and mg_snd_sse dll files for the originals in 4.08. He was having the same symptoms as you Zent, and has a similar rig also.

One small problem for me. When I finish a offline mission all the buttons at the bottom of the screen such as the refly, main menu, apply and save track are gone and so is the mouse icon. The text is still there but that's it. I've never had this problem and installed the patch over a completely clean 4.08m version. Any ideas?

First off, I don't know what causes this.

I have seen it before, it's not happening to me currently. I think it may be connected to the latest Ati drivers. When I recently reinstalled Vista, it selected it's own driver for my card and I've not upgraded from that for fear of this. When it did happen to me, switching from open GL to Direct X fixed it, there may be something cleverer that also fixes it, if so I'd like to hear about it. Could be Vista isn't part of the problem, but it is what I'm using.

Hi, one problem which I have: I understood that there should be a possibility to save/load different joystick profiles in Input Options Setup page. I saw some video in youtube which was telling about this. But at least in my version this is not visible. The drop-down list for four different joysticks aren't there, actually that Input page looks excatly same as in 4.08m version. Should it be enabled somehow somewhere or... (conf.ini?) am I missing something. I installed 4.09m patch to well-working 4.08m (no mods...) and everything has worked fine for six years now. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
