I think you mean apostrophe's.

Hey Dev Team. UK Version. Problems/bugs found:

Res - 1280x720
Settings all low, AA off, Forest off,Shadows off, Aircraft detail & Damage Med.

1) Cannot select enemy skins,insignia or setup loadouts

2) Cannot change player skins,insignia or setup loadouts

3) Aircraft appear twice in the aircraft selection area

4) Various menu functions that do nothing such as changing aircraft settings

5) Spitfire rear view mirror-when flying over water the picture is very
pixilated

6) Settings wont save for keybinds

7) Cannot impliment DX10 to run

8 ) When flying any single mission over the channel, a Tile edge is clearly visible wherever you fly, it appears that you are flying inside a black square

9) Massive FPS drop near and over land, cannot play at all

10) Big stutters when closing in on enemy aircraft (German) making anymore than 6 planes at once practically impossible

11) Joystick settings seem quite unpredictable and oversensitive even after alteration

12) Cant seem to turn off the Radio subtitles or other intrusive markers. Seems all off or all on

13) Some aircraft have only empty weapons settings on the aircraft select screen

14) Strange aircraft in the menu, example of this is a spitfire named heartbreaker

15) No Su26

16) When spawning on quick flights, sometimes, (seems unpredictable) the flaps will drop and gear comes down on spawning along with other random things without any key or button presses

17) Low graphics mode, half the items of the aircraft dissapear, spinners etc

18 ) On opening up the throttle full in the Hurricane and Spitfire the engine volume drops low for a few seconds when first at max revs

19) Music plays randomly and the ingame radio comms is all broken with words missing and it seems like its running very late behind whats happening in game

20) When bailing out the pilot drops through the bottom of the aircraft

21) Key presses dont work in external views

22) AA doesnt seem to work other than to kill FPS

23) Drop bombs wont work in external view

24) Cloud reflections still show on water when clouds are turned off

Hope what I have found helps to make a great patch.

"Track View" ought to be renamed "Replay View" or "Replay Viewer" to avoid confusion. English speakers tend to think of "Tracks" as audio only. Also, replay viewer is bugged and regularly crashes the game.

AI often performs physics defying manoeuvres, both in the air and on the ground. One instance was a 90 degree turn on the ground that would of tipped any normal a/c over in a heartbeat.

During training mission, AI "Request Landing Clearance" and Tower "Landing Clearance Authorised" audio play over the top of each other. i.e: both at the same time.

Rearview mirror displays static effects like a badly-tuned analogue TV.

Background music in menu is sporadic, and often does not start playing when it should, or quits totally.

Game often minimises to taskbar on launch from within Steam client.

Would also like to know if it's possible to move the status bar elsewhere (say: middle-bottom or middle-top of screen) or remove it completely.

- The flight instructor crash landed the plane on the first training mission
- AI radio chatter is completely messed up sometimes as everyone seems to speak at the same time
- AI flies robot-like manuevers, very jerky and sudden (sadly reminds me of the old IL-2 sometimes)
- AI flight leader in formation flight, banks in strange way as he seems to prefer using full rudder instead of aileron and elevator
- Old IL-2 sound (engines and aircraft explosions)
- Changes in controls are not always saved and applied.
- Control catgories are a bit confusing
- Main menu music starts and stops randomly and stops suddenly when it ends
- I lost the first luftwaffe mission before I got the chance to fight
- A mission briefing with an adequte map (showing starting location and flight vector) would be nice.

How do you know that DX10 mode isn't running?

What are you trying to do to get it to run in DX10 mode?

Not sure if these are bugs or only my personal problems (ha!), or if they've already been reported (but no harm in reporting them twice):

1) If I look all the way backwards in the Spitfire IIa (and I believe all other marks, although I cannot sware by that) I can see through the end of the fuselage to the ground/sky (there is a gap either side of the tail)

2) 109 E3B and 110 C7 (may also be an iusse for other variants of these aircraft) cannot retract/deploy landing gear or flaps in quick missions (haven't tried it otherwise). Have tried to do it both via keyboard and via clicking the releveant buttons on the screen and neither worked. A bit of a bugger after I shot down 5 Bleheims in a single mission and then had to crash land and the airbase.

3) Radio seems to not work (can hear others, but it would seem I can't be heard. Orders go unobeyed and without any kind of response, same with requests from home base), but I'm not sure whether this is a bug or just me (have posted a thread about it)


That's it so far, but I'm not having any trouble frame-rate wise except over cities. Been up in a formation of 26 He111's vs 6 Spits and did not notice a serious drop in framerate (at least it was far, far better than what I would consider passable), all ran on 'Very High' video settings. Specs are as follows:

Intel Core I7-950 3.07GHz
12 Gig ram
ATI 6950 2GB

I'm also running it at max resolution, whatever the dimensions for that are.

Exactly the same questions i want to know mate:
How do you know what DX mode the game is running?
How do I get it to run in DX10 mode?

- Generally poor performance (low fps, constant stuttering), in part caused by:
- Poor GPU utilisation (as stated by others, it's not being used at full speed)
- Non functioning Crossfire/SLi
- Horrendously "laggy" inputs. Mouse, keys, joystick - even when the framerate is moderately smooth, there is a significant delay between using any of these inputs and the action occurring. Just to be clear, this is not due to a realism setting, even the movement of the mouse cursor lags behind by a solid half second. As soon as you press escape to open the menu though, all is fine. Until you try to resume flying of course.

For reference, my system is:

Core i7 930 @ 3.8GHz
6GB RAM
2 x Radeon 6950 2GB
Realtek onboard sound
Windows 7 Pro 64bit

Add few features to the QMB, like being able to chose wich side you want to play. I hate flying with wrong markings.

Simply banning people who voice frustration will only add to the hate and vitriol elsewhere online, and will do this title NO favours at all. If 1C want to bury their heads in the sand and make like there is nothing wrong, the complaints are only going to increase. Then the prospects for this title making it out of the mire will disappear, buried in all the bad press disgruntled customers will generate in response.

+1. Absolutely agree. We had few specimens whining every day for months, before the game was even released and nobody did nothing about it. Now they ban REAL CUSTOMERS, that paid for a product? Really bad attitude.
