4.09 Feedback

[Decon]

Right click on the Conf.ini and put a check mark in Read only.

The patch? Well I'm glad it's free cuz at this point there's very little there. My 8800GT enjoys eating the LandGeom=3. There is a noticable diff but nothing heart stopping.

The maps are nice for those awesome persons that are the "Map Makers"

If there are sounds I missed that. Of course I have been running the new sounds and all else sounds a bit lame

Skins - Eastern Front so nothing I fly regularly.

I would be remiss to call this a version patch. It should have been an update to 4.08m.

Maybe there is more to come? I'm no pro at this so maybe there's something I missed.

Enjoy the patch, Happy New Year

Spinnetti, you have two LandGeom=2 listed in the [Render_OpenGL]
section... is this meant to be ?

Picture showing mountain lake which shows a reflection which is in fact a hole through the terrain showing you what is in the distance.

This is on the Slovakia (online) map, 8800GTS 512Mb card with 169.21 drivers.

This is the IL-2 engine "bug" - but during flying it is not visible.

I have just managed to download both patch and skins - everything looking very good so far, especially map of Slovakia (a masterpiece).

My new system (high-end)
OS - XP Professional (still at 32bit)
MOBO - Gigabyte P35-DS4
Processor - Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 - 4 x 86
Ram - 4GB Corsair
Video card - XFX Nividia Geforce 8800 Ultra
Sound card - SB Fatality X-FI Xtremegamer

Flying in 'perfect' mode the new maps are superb. Also the new skins are great, though some times I get a 'white flicker' on the skin artwork (I may need the latest driver?)
Increased buffer size works much better when flying over buildings - smoother building renditions.
Water looks much better and more realistic (green instead of black).
Increased visability is a huge plus - high detail is rendered right to the horizon at ground level, in the air, at height -fantastic.
I am having no problems with clouds and their shadows - they look very good.

Thanks to all the teams involved with this patch - it was a long time coming, though certainly worth the wait. I hope some of these new innovations helps in the BOB development.

Happy New Year to Oleg and his team from the land of OZ.

Sorry, I didn't read your post clearly.. Yes, I think you hit on it. I had an entry already and added a new one. I deleted the one I added and changed the other one to 3. Now it "sticks". Thanks!

Read only? that won't actually give me the "3" though will it? I assume its putting it back to "2" because it thinks it can't support it? - I'll try it tho.

Yep, I originally had the same oddity. No problems now. Give it a try!
