Forgive me if this has already been pointed out, but as far as I have tried, every single plane of my flight (including mine, apparently) during the first (offline, of course) mission of the RAF campaign in the demo version of Desastersoft's Helmut Wick vs J.C. Dundas is just unable to startup.

I noticed something strange – the content in the root of the ‘C:\Users\<user name>\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\cache’ folder does not regenerate if it is deleted. The contents of the ‘Shaders’ folder does, but not the rest. I tried reinstating the previous versions, but the game still ends with a launcher crash when exiting normally. This would always regenerate with previous versions – maybe associated with the launcher crash error?

problem ? :rolleyes:

The ships in the air bug is a very old one that seems to have been resurrected with this patch.

their are not only air bug... ;)
this is the first time i see it this 2 bug for myself


this ship is not sunk or destroyed, it move normaly ;)

I was able to start with much higher throttle setting than usual as autopilot start couldn't do it but the rest of AI were struggling with start , some later gave up and those AI who managed to start engine were running in to aircraft in front of them , useless mission it will happen each and every time again and again .
( this one is from community member made single mission not Desastersoft's )

I have never experienced CTDs in COD before. Up to now. Unfortunately after finishing a quick mission, the launcher is not responding anymore and the game crashes to desktop.

I found a railway from France to Dover in the game. Looked weird.

The cloud performance is much better now, but as far as I can tell, there is no such thing as complete overcast, or a cloudlayer you could use for hiding. Clouds pop out in near distance and you can't plan your way through the clouds and by this we miss a strategic element in this sim.

All in all, I believe, this patch was trimmed for performance and introduced far more bugs than anything before.

I sit back, relax and wait for DCS P51. It's still in Beta, but feels much more robust and realistic already.

I will purchase it eventually, but I don't think it will act as a substitute for an actual WWII sim.

A little new bug;
The Spitfire MKI when I set the throttle to idle the engine stall and stop. :!:
