Has anyone with the sound issues tried switching to DX9 rendering? I'm on a low-end and have not had any problems with sound online using DX9.

I also managed my first successful online Blenheim sortie. Blew up a couple of invasion barges! I could fly it before, but somehow I never managed to load bombs onto the Blenheim.

My average fps while warming up engines was around 25, around 20 above water, and 15 while over towns and more detailed places. I performed my bombing run at around 10fps, but I still got'em :)

I do think that I might've lost a couple of fps from my average while over the channel. The fps seems to have gone up from 20-25 to 25-30 while on the ground warming up engines.

A couple more things:
- I did not get any points for the ground targets destroyed
- I could change the in-plane viewpoint ("C") without the engines cutting out, which was great, and it was also great that I got a message with the objectives when switching to the the bomb crew
- The loadout screen continues to be very unintuitive, and I think some loadouts are not being saved. This was all tested in MP. I did "Save as" a couple of times, and the new loadout was no longer there the next time I made a choice.
- Choosing planes to fly is definitely more intuitive though, but not as much as in the old IL2


Keep up the good work :)

I bought a new computer for this game and have latest hardware to date and still have FPS, stutter, and no AA. Something is broken in the game for some of us and its not user oriented. My game worked great before patch before this one.

played the new release for a while now and I am happy to see that improvements are being made :)

Still a way to go, but we're moving in the right direction!

+1 :D Loving the new E1 just can't seem to get used to the E3s cannons.

I know it's pretty random as to what works or not but I found my fps had dropped quite a bit for the first time after a patch. I thought maybe the patch had introduced some more intensive graphics elements to the game but I tried uninstalling the game then allowing steam to download and reinstall. I then went through the nVidia control panel settings because launcher.exe had gone from the list and reset stuff as needed. I now have the fps back where they were.

this could be very helpful if it proves tobe true :) I take it your on XP? please put your system specs in your sig

S!

Sorry, I forgot - I'm on Win7! I should also mention that I definitely need a format, but I haven't gotten around to it. I'm hoping that a general computer cleanup will make stuff generally run better.

3 months after the release:

The game is not that what it shoul be yet. Furthermore i have the worry, that only Luthier is left to work on IL CoD. For me the performance is almost as bad as on the release day.

Then there must be something on your system thats wrong, as there are quite a lot people with much lesser system who are satisfied with the performance, but maybe not with the sim itself.

My words!
