4.09 - Support & Bug Reporting

[Wolkenbeisser]

Something that is wrong since very long time:

Smoke on engine-startup with P-51B and C comes only out of the left smoke-stacks. The right ones seem to be "dead" (btw: P-51D works correct).

Pardon my ignorance, but how does one handle this RCU task?

Need some help? Ver. 4.09

I have just updated to a later driver for my ATI HD4870X2 Graphic card. Everything seemed very good, then I noticed all the 'Furniture Tree lines' (Object 165) missing. The position indicator is showing on the map for the trees, then zooming in on the position -no trees?

Do I have to alter the graphic card settings to get them to show? I apologise if this bug has been reported before.

Sorted out the problem myself -

In the config.ini file I changed 'LandShading=3 to LandShading=2' and the trees mysteriously returned?

After downloading the patch my game would start up, and close before the load screen even got past 5% load, it returns to the desktop as if nothing happened. This happened to me before also when i tried to download plane mods onto it, it doesnt give an error message or anything, it just closes, help please?

If you have installed a version of mods that was made before the 4.09 patch, then it's natural that 4.09 won't install correctly on top of that.

The correct process each time is:
clean installation-->official update 4.09--->mods that work with 4.09
clean installation-->official update 4.10--->mods that work with 4.10
...and so on.

You will have to install official updates on a stock, unmodified version each time.

Maybe you forgot to install 4.08 patch?

Installation sequence goes:
Il2 1946 -> 4.08 -> 4.09
or:
Il2 1946 -> 4.08 -> 4.09beta -> 4.09

Hi

A long standing bug now from several patches back has been the gliders and towing them.

Online its now not possible to use the tow planes for human pilots:

He111
Bf110

Can this function be restored and if so please add a release button for the glider release cable, also a better AI release point to target a drop/trlease point on the map.

There are many small features about IL2 1946 that make the sim unique and this was one of them.

Regards

On 4.09m you cannot map axes in the Hotas section for the fourth USB device. It will detect buttons but not an analog axis.

This was also the case with 4.08.

If I remember right it did work OK with 4.07 but that was so long ago I'm not sure.
