Select your objects using Alt - (drag mouse to capture objects).

Before doing anything else, hold the mouse pointer at your chosen axis of rotation (dont press either button) and press your rotate keys. The group will rotate.

I find that rotation only works when the objects have just been selected afresh. If you move them first, they dont all rotate, so you have to move, unselect, reselect, than rotate.

small update:

I tried stuff like the nocd and any config ini settings I can think of. I don't have a clue on how to solve this problem of the ruddy game not booting.

But when I run IL2,the game doesn´t fill the whole screen,leaving black spaces on left and right.When I change to somed resolutions,the game looks like to be in a zoomed mode...

This is not a 4.10 bug. I don't think these resolutions can be set from in the game but you can edit to this:

[window]
width=1920
height=1080
ColourBits=32
DepthBits=24
StencilBits=8
ChangeScreenRes=0
FullScreen=1
DrawIfNotFocused=0
EnableResize=0
EnableClose=1
SaveAspect=0
Use3Renders=0

at the start of your conf.ini to get around this issue (just change width/height to the appropriate values).

Cheers and enjoy the new machine!

In particular, it is the map that is incorrect. The map from the saved file is not loaded. Instead, what I get is the Bessarabia map. The plane and loadouts seem to be correct, but the original map from the 4.09m file is not loaded.

Fix ready for next patch, in the meantime best way to help yourself is to correct the map inside QMB and re-save your old mission. When saved in new format it should load correctly.

I managed to reproduce this error, it will be fixed in next patch. In the meantime if "Data corrupt error" show up it is enough to change map in the map window and revert it back and mission will be ready to load.

Error happens because there are two types of QMB template, Euro and Pacific. If you play Euro type mission and than Load Pacific type mission, error will happen and vice versa.

If you only change the map in QMB than you can go from map to map without the problems.

It seems the moon phases are not accurate. I set a date for a full moon according to NASA's list, February 12 1941, and I get a waning crescent.

And I'm having trouble with letting the radio play music. I chose and placed an mp3 in the Grossdeutscher_rundfunk folder, nothing happens but the usual static. I even decoded and recoded the file to see if the underlying format was an issue. Hmmm... maybe I should try enabling music in the options menu?

Yep, that did the trick. Now to get rid of the menu music. Very cool that the music is more distorted during twilight and indeed influenced by distance. By the way, testtrack was Asche zu Asche by german metalband Rammstein

Guys i have a problem; my visual quality changed to worse after patching 4.10. Is there any solution please?

[bf-110]

Mmm...I had that Data file corrupt.
At first I got frightened,thought some file was missing or was deleted...

But you just have to change the plane and map,then you can return to the ones you were and everything is fine.

Mine too!Thought it was because I was changing the graphics settings!

To team Daidalos,

I was wondering if there is a full moon at all in 4.10 as I'm working on a mission that calls for a couple of them. Also, if there is a switch or something else to turn on the wing lights for friendly planes at night as they cruise from place to place?

Thank you for all the work and improvements you've made.

Merry Christmas and have a good New Year!

Have a possible bug for you, clean 4.10 over 4.09, in QMB on the Pacific Islands map, killed a ship, yet it's reported in the stats page as a Bridge, or have I stuffed something up
Shows ship here;


Shows Bridge here;
