Bug-Thread for Patch-Release-Candiate (Friday, 28. Sept)

[David198502]

ok i came to the conclusion that it has to be a bug:

B-Beobachtung bullet type, doesnt have any destructive effect at all anymore on enemy planes...except if you shoot at another 109!

you can choose unlimited ammo and shoot a level flying spit forever without doing any damage whatsoever!
definitely wrong, as B-Beobachtung was known to be very effective, not only in "marking" the target, but also had explosvie and ignition effects.

109E3 and E4 are at least 74 kilograms too light in weight, please see this thread for documentation:

Very heavy stuttering. Have reverted to last official version, deleted conf.ini and emptied cache before updating. Game currently unplayable.

[Elizabe55th]

Wheels of the 109 still appear down to the enemy in online play.

[RickRuski]

I'm the same as feathered. Because of the increased stuttering and loss of performance no matter what adjustments I've tried with the current patch/hotfix, it is not worth continuing with. Have reverted to beta 18956.

BuzzSaw,

that is a rather mild way of putting it, given the currently modeled CoD hurricane is massively overweight by at least 250 kg and as a result is seriously hampered in its performance...quoted from the information in your other recent post where this was discussed in detail:

This is no surprise to those who like to fly the Hurricane, the game aircraft handles more like a beached whale than the historical aircraft. It is almost impossible to outturn the 109 in it, unlike the historical aircraft, which Werner Molders, the leading German Ace and the father of the Jagdflieger's tactical doctrine, flew personally in a test with included both the Hurricane, Spitfire and Curtiss Hawk against the 109E.

Molders said: "The Hurricane is good-natured and turns well, but its performance is decidedly inferior to that of the Me 109. It has strong stick forces and is "lazy" on the ailerons."

and

Quote: "Before turning fights with the Bf 109 E type, it must be noted in every case, that all three foreign planes have significantly smaller turning circles and turning times...".

In the *CoD* 'Loadout' screen of the game, the Hurricane Rotol (100 oct) is listed as 3311 kgs fully loaded, that is 7284 lbs. But the actual Hurricane IA with Rotol propellor, Bullet proof glass and Armour plating is 6750 lbs or 3068 kgs.

[Varrattu]

In order to balance / trim the Ju88A-1 while landing, compensation for the characteristic nose heaviness is provided by setting flaps and horizontal stabilizer at a negative angle of attack. For this purpose, the control lever for the landing flaps must be turned to position "Elevator and landing flaps" ("Höhenflosse und Landeklappe").

In this position the iL2CoD-flaps retract ...

[Insuber]

RC + HotFix working fine here. No more CTDs (thanks Heaven!), very few stutters, fps min-max 23-61 (occasionally 5-8 due to stutters), avg. 35-40 on ATAG with full settings. Game is quite smooth.

I MISS BULLET IMPACT FLASHES ON ENEMY A/C! GIVE THEM BACK!


EDIT: SOME STUTTERS AND EVEN 3 or 4 seconds-long freezes. Apparently more with HotFIx than with RC, which ran more smoothly. But all in all the game is very playable.
