Constructive explanation of issues

[tillobert]

Three things that are most annoying:
1. The game crashes every 5 mins back to desktop. I can here some sound and i can hear my plane crashing but thats all, no switching back to menu or something like that. Just the Taskmanager helps.
2. No Radio. I mean you can´t play with AI if you can´t give them orders. If I try to land they to land too...without wheels
3. No AA. Yep this makes the game looking not that good as its supposed to be!

well im thinking 1 is a Ram issue. i dont mean your ram im thinking that the game is not using ram correctly. seems the bigger the map like english channel or the more going on on a map usually crashes my launcher exe anyway. i lost the game several times yesterday. im sure they are working on this though

i cant comment on 2 i know the ai is real dumb. they crash into everything. i have seen them take off and crash into mountains when coming back around and even seen them crash into each other.

but 3 now i have AA working on some maps i have done. and they seem to work correctly only 1 was working bad he was face down on a mountian shooting me on the other side of the mountain.. so basically he was shooting through the mountain at me.
but i have been taken out by AA .

Looking at the picture at the end of your post, all that I can say is "hurry, go get your surfboard and get ready, she's coming!"

lol thats not a wave. the water textures are sat up on the hill.

I found a weird issue :

When you take a screenshot in a game at 1920x1200 and size down to 720 (vertical pixels) it result in a 1280x720 picture always.

But in IL2COD a size down of a 1920x1200 screenshot result in a 1150x720 picture.

Where are those 130 pixels lost ?

I guess there still a problem with the screen scale, so it is not scaling at full screen.

a little one with very low priority, but:
In the quick mission screen, the "blue" side is represented by a part-german, part-italian flag. And it's the modern ones - nazi- and fascism-era ones would be more appropriate imo.
Of course, you can't show the swastika flag as per german law, but the black-white-red imperial-german-era one would be okay. And afaik, there are no restrictions on the Kingdom of Italy flag.

Should take less than 5 minutes to change that.

Blenheim mk IV bombsight problem:

If you fly for example at 6000 ft with 190 mph TAS level flight and you give this parameters to the bombsight, it points approx 3 miles closer then the actual impact point.

So i adjusted the input settings to find the correct impact point and here are the results:

Scenario 1: Adjusting the airspeed with correct altitude to find the correct inpact point:

Fligth conditions 3000 ft 190 mph TAS:
Set height to 3000 ft set speed to 90 mph

Fligth conditions 6000 ft 190 mph TAS:
Set height to 6000 ft set speed to 110 mph


Scenario 2: Adjusting the altitude with correct airspeed to find the correct inpact point::

Fligth conditions 3000 ft 190 mph TAS:
Set speed to 190 mhp TAS the height input is 12000 ft

Fligth conditions 6000 ft 190 mph TAS:
Set speed to 190 mhp TAS the height input is 16000 ft

Also when you set the airspeed you'll see the speed setter wheel turning in the right lower part of the bombing sight. It have a scale from 100-260
I belive it's in mph, but it turns uncorrectly. Althougt the bar/lath in the left upper section of the sight have a scale between 90-310 mph.

The wheel turns like this:

set with keys / Indicated in the wheel:
90 / 258
100 / 120
110 / 155
120 / 190
130 / 225
140 / 258

And so on in the same pattern, so you can turn it arrond 3 times. I belive it is pretty wierd...

The last minor issue I found that when you press shift+F1 to look into the sight it's focusing on the right side bar, which is the "minutes to 60 miles" indicator. I would rather look on the left side bar which is "airspeed in mph x 10" or make it switchable.

Also i tried the BR.20s bombsight, which works just like the Blenheim sight, and it's works perfect. Also the He-111s and the Ju-88s bombsights works as they should in my observations.

All tests where made with AI pilot, with me as bombardier, so i consider this condition to be a perfect level flight.

Issue: On a widescreen 1920*1080, fully updated win7, sandy bridge cpu, gtx470, 8GbBRam sometimes on the far left and far right side of the screen all the tree shadows are wrong, stretched out to the side of teh screen, looks like a barcode or something. Just a second or less. Not always, sometimes. I hope you were already aware of this problem. Thx

Two low priority graphical ones that I don´t find reported:

a) BF110 "stick and ball" roll indicator; its stick points on the opposite direction, i.e. you roll left, it bents to right...

b) Wheels on all planes on takeoff don´t turn (They turned before the last beta).
