Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover: Patch 1.00.14072 -ARIL 15

[ReconNZ]

Patch is great! FPS and stuttering much better -

Errors still outstanding: (that i can remember at the moment)

- Spit Mark 1 reverts to cruise throttle setting after takeoff with CEM off

- Multiplayer interface - no way of telling what time of day it is in the server before you join - we may not want to play night missions

- Multiplayer Interface - no way of seeing who is on what team in the server so you can join to keep teams even

- Multiplayer client interface defaults to LAN selection - INTERNET would be better

- QMB still doesnt let you choose weapon layouts for your planes

- Some stuttering still present

I'll post more as i remember them - hopefully these are all easy fixes.

Jumping the camera through the enemy aircraft quickly when they're spaced out can crash the game now. Only bug so far in an otherwise great patch.

Brakes and other axis control dont work on British planes.
They do on German aircraft.
No weep warning if it's on and working or not

There is no differential brakes on hurri and spit, use b instead

FPS and stuttering improved with beta patch.

However now getting CTDs which never happened with any previous build. My gut feeling is that they occur when there's a LOD switch and new textures are loaded. But it could just be coincidence and the fault is more general and connected to the new texture manager or something entirely different I don't know, lol, you're the developers!

There were 5 crashes since the patch was installed. I compared each .NET runtime dump with Winmerge and they are identical. Each one shows this:

Enjoying the simulation a lot until these crashes started. Keep the realism!
