Two cents from a former lurker

Hey there. It could be related to this: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...ht=remove+text

Try to check if it works for you. Make a backup copy of the file first though in case anything goes wrong

I could never play IL2 again regardless of the glitches and issues we have in this sim.

The Memory leak introduced after the last official patch was the reason I stopped playing just because 45 minutes isn't long enough to take off climb, patrol engage and land and inevitably we would crash at the engage part.

This patch has made quite a positive difference for me in the smoothness and the memory leak crashes are gone but I do get the occasional random crash instead but hey it's a test patch released so that they can collect the crash files much quicker than if they were testing themselves and leaves them free to fix the bugs we find.

I have been a fan who became more and more jaded to the point that I didn't want to fly but this patch has reignited my interest and I have found myself playing more and more even against the AI thanks to Von Pilsner's AI Tweak which makes fighting the AI more fun.

You can find player built missions and yes there are much less of them at the moment but they are there. Also dig in to the FMB which is a bit daunting I admit but it's not quite as bad as it looks....I should follow my own advice there

Ta, Madfish. Will give it a go.

Check out link #1 in my sig for user campaigns. Missions can be found on the same server too.

More $.02. It is worth $50USD. For those of us that have been waiting for "Storm of War" since 10 years ago, it was, kind of still is a little, really frustrating to pay $50+ and have the thing not work very well. This left a very sour taste in many peoples' mouths, which is understandable. However, this sim is nothing short of amazing and they have got it to where it is at least stable enough to launch and play. It still has bugs, but as long as they continue to strive to fix it and expand it, it can only get better.

I just hope that the off-line campaign will be addressed someday. My biggest disapointment is that there is no dynamic campaign. I used to love flying on-line with my old squad-mates in IL2 and CFS2/3 but there are/were times, I just want to pretend and the off-line campaign would satisfy this itch.

Jungmann did you get my PM?
