4.10 Support & Bug Reporting

[Flanker35M]

S!

Not sure if this is a bug or a "feature" that affects only Windows7 users, but here goes. I have a pristine 4.09m installation from the 1946 DVD, which worked just fine. After I installed the 4.10m just fired up the game(DVD must be in drive). I noticed visibly lower FPS. So turned on the FPS meter and was right, my FPS had dropped from solid 60FPS with VSync on to a mere 25-48FPS with only my plane in the sky and no AI!

Nothing helped to cure this until I used a "fixed" il2fb.exe and all the problems were gone. Just FYI.

Well done to all who contributed to 4.10.

A small detail, the Hs-129's only show fighter markings rather than the more common 4-letter codes.

Change the unit number to a non- fighter unit if it bothers you.
and: read the historical info about the HS129, that will tell you they initially flew as a unit attached to fighter units.

I have a bug to report which seems connected to unit numbers.

A user tried loading a mission from this campaign (which is for stock 4.09m)
http://www.mission4today.com/index.p...etails&id=3820

however, mission fails to load.
In the FMB, the IL-2 gets stuck showing only a map. The user then changed the unit number from [Erg_JG2600] to [g0100] and then it works.

I read about the unit number list having been edited to accomodate for the HS-129 units, could it be it has to do with that? [Erg_JG2600] has been around for years in all stock versions.

Further to CW-21B Interceptor pit:
Compass deviation chart- "Compas Deviatie" should be "Kompas Deviatie".
Not sure if this is a bug, but the indicators on the panel for things like supercharger, undercarriage, flaps etc. don't work (perhaps not implemented?).

Actually the Hs 129 never showed bomber-style code except as Stammkennzeichen when serving as test aircraft. Really correct would be individual characters (i.e. "Red L") but that would probably take more time and work than it's worth.

Old units were neither renamed nor removed. I just checked the unit in question, it's still there like it was in 4.09.

Don't know if this bug has already been reported, but in my case, bombs and torpedoes are totally inoperative, I mean, I launch them and then nothing happens, they hit the ground / target / whatever, but never explode... so they're pretty useless...

Maybe I forget to bind a new special key or something...

Loadout Bug -

109G6 - Wurfrahmen work if selected plane is German but do not appear if Finnish. This may be historically accurate but
a) If the Lerche exists the Wurfrahmen are minor
b) They should not be in loadout screen if they cannot be selected.

There are some other small loadout issues as described in the pages above but overall I'd like to say thank you for an amazing job, esp. the new navigation beacons etc., which I love!

Another note about the cockpit, on the left top side there's the emergency extinguisher unit, there is a spelling mistake there as well " Aan T-Handel Trekken " Handel --> Hendel
