YES! FIX IT!

And you'll run this sim in your VGA at 0.1FPS! :cool:

I use Buildings Amout and TExtures in HIGH: good compromise between performance and quality. I'm not in BF3 running on the streets with a gun... :rolleyes:

With Buildings Amout set to UNLIMITED and Texture to ORIGINAL, you'll see less "LEGO buildings", for sure! But really i like the extra FPS provided by some more "LEGO"! I like LEGO! ;)

My usual test when a new patch comes out:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFeknneqYKA

Better fps with only some glitches...

so you are ok with thsoe ugly cities? thay just look worst than il2 where the transaction occours far mroe softely and fro mreatter distance.

Actually your example is just plain stupid, in BF3 you dont need too see more than 5 to 6 buildings since you are on the ground, in COD whoever you need too see from greater distances.

i like Lego too, or i used too. now what?

A pair more:

A close view on a heavily damaged Wellington with dead gunners, just before I whoot it to death. Navigator jumps without enought altitude to open the chute, and desperately moves when fallling to death...

Just an aerobatic test using a tower building as path up and down, rotating over the top:

You don't seen to grasp the concept of limited CPU/GPU resources...

i do. All im asking is for Proper LOD fr distnat buildings, and a more gradual switch beetween them. ATM the corrent LOD and switch is worse than 2001 IL2.

He doesn't.

Use UNLIMITED and you'll de happy with all texture streaming needed. My GPU can't handle all this over London.

due to low settings no doubt?

unfortunetly setting to unlimited does not help with the popping issue, nor the bad layer transaction issue.

Hi CLOD pilots,

can i demand something?

When making a vid, please be so kind not to put any music in there cause sometimes its forbidden for me and i would see them all!!!:(

Thanks alot and waiting for new ones;)

Man, I don't have all the "popping" you are talking about... What really do you want? "Translucid" buildings like DCS series?

We have limited resources... And I want planes and ground units "beautiful", not 5.000 buildings perfect rendered...

pure flight
:grin:

you dont????

dude, its all over your video :rolleyes:

i want realsitic cities, bobm runs jsut look pathtetic if yo ucant see the target till you are right over it.

Get over it, its not good, and i believe luthier can do better. IF you dont, then you should box this game...

Nice flying and vid, despite the few glitches

@pupo162: Nice flying dude :-)

And this time I got shot down by some Spitfires:

but you have a good looking game.... how i wish.

Aircraft problem
 

Hello,
My game was working perfectly suddenly my aircraft was that way with the panel as shown in photo. How can I fix this problem?

Its time for some Crashtesting...
 

Flying around looking for some enemies. Finally I spotted a Spitfire, but was unable to get on her tail...

and the end of the story? The spit nailed me, but my ME still was up and flying when I signaled the enemy that I "surrender".

He closes up and suddenly decided to crash into my. (This is about 5min 15 secs in the vid)

Its a little bit boring till someting happens ... ;-)

R.I.P IL-2 1946. Was a glorious age!

;) Not so sure on the RIP il2 ,you can fly online wars on there and for a sim that is 10 years older and with the mods not really a huge amount of improvement on CLOD,well not 10 years worth.
Ok some visuals are better but not 10 years worth of better,oh and il2 is playable on older PC's for those of us who won't or can't upgrade for 1 game.

1946 is not from 10 years ago ! And the mods even less.

Interesting thread. I'm learning lots!

nice video. How does it run on your system? FPS take a major hit? What part of the system would be the bottleneck for these clouds, in your opinion?
Flyby out

With medium clouds, the sim runs OK if you aren't looking to a lot of clouds. The bottleneck i believe it's the not so much optimized smoke/clouds... :confused:

thank you

Nice phat!

Videos for those who write in chat "Mr.X cheater" or thinking about it ...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AcJ7oOOcxQ

S!

All I can say Mr.X that great shooting. Deflection is spot on and hitting at convergence at most times. Also noted that controls are nicely tweaked as no stalls etc.

...and all that without TrackIR! :)

Congrats Mr X

very instructive video, greater shoter.

thx for video.

hmmm , I've yet to have a plane explode into flames once hit. obviously i'm using the wrong ammo .. or the wrong eye-balls :grin:

excellent video BTW.

.

Very impressive!!!!!
 

Great video! Also, very impressed with the quality of the video using the 5D2 - no flickering! Do you recall what shutter speed you used?

This video show perfectly everything that is wrong with the CLoD 109 gunsight. :( Notice the need to zoom in with straps off (or whatever) in order to use it. Zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out. I think if you ever dogfight against a competent human spitfire in flat/rolling scissors in close proximity, he will eat you for lunch Mr. X. because he will have trackir/freetrack and no need to waste time zooming in and zooming out. While you are spending time zooming in and zooming out and trying to find him from you lost peripheral vision, he will already have you because he doesn't have to do that zoom in/zoom out like you do.

This imaginary gunsight "problem" wouldn't be there if Mr.X had freetrack/trackir!

true king of the me 109
 

Mr X's video clearly shows how great he is in the ME 109 - really jealous that I can't fly and shoot (the main thing I need to improve in) like that - also provides a good lesson to all ME 109 pilots!

Ross

You are correct. There is a workaround for this issue if one has freetrack/trackir. But not all pilots (like Mr. X) have those or maybe they don't want to use them for whatever reason. They instead prefer the hat switch,keyboard or whatever.

So why not put everyone on equal footing in the game? The old IL-2 way worked fine, no matter if you have head tracking or not. You could have a gun sight cross hair and wide view and use a hat switch for views. But not in CLoD because of "realism". I really have to wonder how real it is. It is not good for game play where some will have the advantage from a head tracking work around and others don't imo. Zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out, maybe you get a headache after a while of doing that.:-P

I don't share your view regarding the zoom but perso I don't hve the same gun à la IL2

I scarcely rip of a tail or a wing in fight and certainly hve not blew up a plane in fast firing pass.

No matter what hypnotic music you put in MrX I am still not convinced by your video !

Agree. War is hell.

S!

He has a very good SA in the fight. And most importantly hits the target thus making it less good fighting. There were more videos at ATAG forum by him..and TomcatVIP, you were quite a lot whining at him in one of them so I think his flying and shooting is spot on ;) No offense!

The video is just IMHO just narcissistic. Small ego/or *ick - big videos and cars:)

Winger

PS: No doubt he is great in the 109. But posting a video like this is plain self-praise and obliterates the respect one might have had for his skills/the person before he posted it.
PPS: And this comes from a fellow 109 pilot. Not an allied pilot:)

Well if you think that shooting at a plane that hve just lift off and is still with his wing level is a proof of sup flying, well that's a point of view that I don't share ;)

The short burst "and then you die" or the evil camo that "you can't see me"* is other things that I won't comment again here.

*that ease SA heh ?

Yeah,seen that one,what strikes me is the lack of detail of the wings,due to low settings no doubt?
http://forums.nichechoppers.com/imag...ine=1292495981http://www.bingertoday.info/huang2.jpghttp://www.bingertoday.info/huang3.jpg

Mr.X - never thought you were a cheater - I've met you quite a few times ona ATAG and Repka small DF server - all you did was shooting at aircraft that just took off. Shooting might be OK in that video, S! dude, but actual flying not as impressive, especially after some .303 medicine from my Hurricane. I left that training server few times because of you and you might be a good shot, you're not a cheater, but you fly like trash. Plus real men fly the E-3 :D (yeah that's a joke)

Heh, Winger above might remember, I had a nice fight with him in a Rotol Hurri that evening, took at least 10 minutes, some nice flying dude - this Mr.X is coming nowhere close when it comes to swinging your 109 around (my nick is bobika).

Even on Atag, I now when I take off there are always these two ugly green 109s - Mr.X a Molnienosnyi (sp.?) BnZ straight after you start. Great job guys, you're soooo good, please make more videos.

Just my opinion, sorry about the OT.

IF it is true that they just hang around and wait for people to take off well it was that sort of thing that killed off dogfight servers for me.We ended up flying as squads in online wars with objectives being more important than personal kills.

S!

He and his wingman use Russian green skins on their planes so expect them to vanish ;) Seriously, I watched all videos on ATAG forum and he quite well managed to turn a fight to his favor from equal E or even get away from a chasing Spitfire. His flying was OK.

The point is that when he gets a firing solution he usually hits the target and dealing good damage so he can finish you off. What I see is that he uses BnZ against Spits and Hurricanes, never turns with them more than 45-90deg. Instead climbs up to gain alt and dives down on the "stick in stomach" Sissy/Cane and pumps in more lead. Rinse and repeat.

I wish I could shoot that well..my flying will never be good LOL :D

"Stick in Stomach" LOOOOOL :)

BnZ - Thats the way to do in a 109. Anything else is suicide.

Winger

Remember the times when so many poor pilots called =FB=VikS a cheater or fought him on the forums because did not have balls do it in the game. I felt pity for them. Everyone understands where this comes from.

Beware!

Sorry, video is not going to do!
Many people do not properly understand it.
I just want to ask the pilots to not think badly of me and did not write in the chat.
I am Russian! I do not know English, but the word cheater, I know ...

Thank you all!

Unfortunately Skills and good aim are always being confused with cheating by most of players in every game.
That's it!
People just need to understand the difference!

Good fighting Mr.X ;)

Viks is part of the developer team and for this fact he has insights in facts the normal player has not. This makes him a Cheater playing his own developed game in my eyes.
This is just an opinon and i dont expect anyone to share it. If i was a developer of a game i would not go onto its multiplayer servers and rule the shit out of everyone wasting everyones fun.
I would play it for testing sakes but not like that. Doing so and then wondering why people like me have opinions like me makes me wonder. Maybe i am just a strage fella:P

Winger

PS: i fought him mostly online, sometimes on their forums over at their website. And yes, i called him a cheater for the above stated reasons. Just FYI

Are you saying you and quoted Siggi is the same person?

Who told you this? He never was according to my knowledge. This makes your personal opinion rather biased:

Spreading false information and creating myths are examples of what I called forum fighting.

Maybe some of =FB= were beta-testers for original IL-2 that I doubt but being a beta-tester and being a cheater are a bit different things anyway. BTW now VikS is a part of 777 RoF team as many of =FB= pilots. Maybe this fact causes some confusion.

Great video X glad I am not in your video!

Pure envy, and the resulting bad mouthing, is a form of praise!

Take it as that, MrX.

Its funny, Viks doesn't use TiR either, just hat switches.Maybe we are at a disadvantage lol
Also, I must be using the wrong ammo as well, because planes never light up/ fall apart like that when I hit them!
Would hitting at dead on convergence every time have this effect?

Are you saying you and quoted Siggi is the same person? No


Who told you this? He is part of the ROF 77 team. So you confirm what i say.


Spreading false information and creating myths are examples of what I called forum fighting. No false information. Opinon... Just like i say the ROF FMs are all totally biased BS.

Maybe some of =FB= were beta-testers for original IL-2 that I doubt but being a beta-tester and being a cheater are a bit different things anyway. BTW now VikS is a part of 777 RoF team as many of =FB= pilots. Maybe this fact causes some confusion.So... hes an employee. And as far as i know the actual game developers are emplyees also. So coworkers. Enough for me.[/QUOTE]

S!

VikS was a beta tester on original IL-2 and a very good pilot of that matter. Also he is a very nice guy, been in contact with him over the years. So calling him a cheater is plain wrong. He is extremely good pilot but not unbeatable ;) Same applies to Mr.X..he is good shooter and good pilot but again not a cheater or unbeatable. Instead of whining/accusing watch the videos and learn ;)

And now for something completely different & slightly OT ( hope it hasn't been previously posted:)

About this video:
"Written & Directed by Nick Ryan

The vid about the X-1 avasilable on the right hand collumn may be even better...

Good shooting mate. Can I have you as my mentor :). I need these shooting skills. do some video turorial man :cool:

Man this Luftwaffe pilot speaks incredibly good german.... NOT :D
I understood maybe only half of what he said. :grin:
Anyway nice film and was fun to watch

I think something else than shooting skill is involved here ...

something like..... ? :confused:

I believe that the worst kind of post imaginable, hinting something without proof and not having the balls to say outright what he/she means.

i think waht he means is, "more than shooting skill is involved here" shouting is the end of it. you need positioning, maneuvering, finding and SA to accomplish all this.

he is just saing that it takes more than a good shoot to suceed in il2. tough it helps... a lot :grin:

Thats a very, very humanistic and optimistic interpretation, as shooting skill was excluded as a possibility.

Flying skills !!!!

Too many people think its just firing a big gun.

If everybody was as respectful of the devs as they are of Mr.X, the flame wars we had a few months back would not have happened.

you should have worded your previous post differently, it was a invitation for misinterpretation!

Agree,

I was not aware of prior discussion about Mr X

Awesome shooting there Mr.X.

Strangely enough, I think I was a better pilot when I didn't have a TiR. That or I am just getting old... :)

Wow, some of the comments made about MrX in this thread are downright disgraceful.

It's amusing to see people get jealous about another's flying ability.

Well, my comments had nothing to do with Mr. X skills. They were about the dysfunctional 109 gunsight. I see a new thread has started on that. So good to know I'm not the only one still bothered by this critical issue.:!:

Gaming if anything:P

Winger

Apart from the excellent shooting, I liked your energy fight with the hurricane of little_head. Great exemple of how to use a 109.

Thx for taking the time to do the movie btw.

Love the new sounds of the 109:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2NvmqMJqtc

Awesome...:cool:

..fab video as usual!

thanks for sharing:grin:

I watched the vid again more closely. He obtaines these burn and burst effects on different distances. Most of them in the range 120-170m and some well less than 100m.

I am so not sure if convergence is really the key here.

I usually never obtain a full hit with explosions with distances below 100m.

i have to ask, what are thsoe glasses the pilot is using? are they shadded? were they ever used in ww2? were they regurlaly used?

im askign this becosue i flew with shaded helmet and you dont loose much of exterior view but you can look directly at the sun.

See info here:

http://www.germanmilitaria.com/Luftw...s/L007164.html


The one in the video is a look-a-like I tried to make up :)

found this in the net:

or here:

guys you can buy a pair of prof Rayban for the same result. As a side effect you could stare at girls on the tarmac without being as much ridiculous ;)

The vid is awesome !

Mr. X, can you pls. tell us the settings of the server regarding ballistics and ammo, and what is your belting? Is it a realistic gunnery?

Cheers,
Insuber

If he flew it on ATAG, probably. But do we know that this video is made from sorties on ATAG server?

Exactly, it is a server setting. But we don't know the server he is flying in.

1st foray on-line, Bf-109 take-off from Guines - new youtube vid by me...
 

Hey all,

(Click image for vid)

This is a video of my first time playing Il-2 Cliffs of Dover ON-LINE, against real live players. Or, vulchers more like it! Well, I've been on-line a few times now, and vulching is not common at all, thankfully...

Playing against live opponents and not just the AI is quite a handful, but also great fun. I hope to get the hang of it and will upload a few vids of the progress I'll (hopefully) do...

I must say, I really like the totally revamped sound engine: the sounds are just sumptuous now! Check out that Bf-109 fly-by.
The colour palette is also renewed I see... - Well, I don't note a big difference, but that's probably just me... - I mean, all the furious whining was about a serious flaw, wasn't it? ;)

Enjoy this one, and as always, comments very welcome!

Cheers,
Freycinet

New annotated vid by me:
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...667#post358667

I liked it, especially "after him, dummkopf" :lol:

Online is where it is at. Got vulched for the first time yesterday while warming up and thought it was cool. It doesn't happen too often so no big deal. There was a full dogfight going on over Hawk and it all just felt alive. The sounds are really good and immersive. I fly on the ATAG server and the Allied side ATAG's TS is always good. Really helpful folks populate that side. I can only assume most Axis players are using their own squads TS because I never hear anything when I fly Axis. Maybe I am just on at the wrong times.
