Does anyone know how to get Joystick to control the airplane?

from settings - axis

thanks... it worked after first I started another 2 windows :D

I got the activation code without entering the security amount, the same second I pressed on the Submit button I got the mail with the steam code. I'm stuck at the security code page at yuplay but I got the code and it is activated in steam, it's downloading....

I did fake anything when bying, just pretended stupid user and got it. :)

Will still buy the european steam version and perhaps also the dvd, this was just for fun and I Love 2 Cash Oleg Dollars.... :)

Yep, shame on them for not creating a entirely new computer language (at the very least) because we all know that, how the Confini looks define if the engine is new or not.


Or maby, just maby, its for the benefit of US so we dont have to learn something completely useless (how to navigate the freeking Confini)

Mind u, thats just WILD stab in the dark.

Im of to e-mail Oleg asking him if they can reinvent the wheel for my benefit only.

Now, back on topic.

New IL2 BoB settings thread.

Freetrack is working (6dof)... needs tweaking I think but at these FPS... is last on my list :) .

Another quick question...

how we turn of the chat text from top of window? the one the instructor says in russian.

thx

Ermmm
 

Been monitoring the system as it plays:

Only 1 cpu out of 4 is doing any work (PhenomII X4 3.5)
Only 1 gpu out of 2 is doing any work and is not auto switching to max settings when the game starts (i know X-Fire isnt enabled yet so no surprise here) 4870x2

So where`s the multi-core support??, my FF2 isn`t working either, no force feedback.

This "ini" is more or less just a text file so i dont think a different engine is going to matter.

Hi,
a long time lurker here who just registered to say "Thanks, adonys". :)
I'm downloading from Steam right now.

BTW, when purchasing I discovered something that makes at least the purchasing process much less of a headache for non-russian speakers. Yuplay have their own in-store currency called "yum". These yums can be purchased on the english yuplay.com site and will be valid for yuplay.ru, as well.
I bought yums for USD14.50 using a german credit card that was never used with Yuplay before and I didn't have to go through the whole small charge/amount confirmation process, so no currency conversion hassles at all.

If anyone wants to try this, here's what I did:
Register with yuplay.com and buy 46.5 yums. Once you've got those, log into yuplay.ru using the same credentials; the yums you've bought on the international site will show up at the top. Find Cliffs of Dover's product page and put your mouse pointer on the button that says "Купить 395.08". A list of different currencies and payment options will pop up, the first one is "46.48 yum". Click that and you will get a popup - as far as I can tell this informs you that Steam is required. Tick the checkbox and press Ok. Another page will come up, press the button and presto - a Steam activation code will be in your mailbox.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
apollo

The above works perfectly (apparently... ;) )

Am I the only one who's game wouldn't start up after the steam install?

I just get a launcher error message.

sry mate you just might be:( first i have heard of it stopping at that point. make sure that you let it auto download and install some Microsoft thingy after it finishes the main download i believe that is required to run it.

if it did that then im not sure.....

No, im getting it Too , have tried updating drivers, reinstalling cod and steam , nothing seems to work.
Was worth a shot for the price.

Yeah think they must have caught on and stopped it now. Bought the code last night but only got it this morning. Everything seemed to install Ok but when it wasn't working I deactivated and reinstalled it just to make sure.

Well I would have been getting the English version as well anyway so guess I just have to wait a little longer. Aw, and I was looking forward to learning some Russian...

Make sure you have installed the redist programs needed for Il2 BoB to run (DirectX, VC 2008 controls, DotNetFx 4.0 - they can all be found in IL2 BoB's install folder/redist), and that you actually rebooted your computer after installing them.

Also update your video and soundcard's drivers, disable antiviruses and eventually run steam in administrator mode.

Yeah, tried all of that already but no luck. Thanks for the suggestions though.

Did?
 

Me and me mate got Birds of Prey for free when we bought it off Yuplay, did anyone else?

Awsome...working....must now learn ruski....thanks mate:grin:

In the Steam library try right clicking on the game title > Properties > local files > Verify Integrity of Game Cache.

Yeah, also tried that before the complete redownloading and install. Hmm, must be doing something wrong if no one else is having problems.

UGH I caved....

downloading now...It seems Apollos YUM trick worked perfectly.

@Biggs Welcome to the team, comrade!

ya but
 

how do I create a different steam account?

DOH, google is my friend, I looked arround steam for quite a while with no luck lol

sorry guys im having real difficulty actually finding the game on yuplay. Is it called something else or have they took it off the lists? sorry if im blind for looking..

sorry guys, needed to go to yuplay.ru/ :)

Can anyone who's downloaded the game please tell me how big the Download is?

I have a very limited ADSL line and want to estimate how long it will take.

I wil try the YUM money route cause the visa transaction is not being accepted.
i have a fresh STEAM account ready to accept IL2 bliss.

Please revert soonest. thx

4 GB or so.

and yea, I got that game free as well (Birds of Prey)

downloading, seems to be starting pretty slow though.

Suggestion to 1C company.

Next time, tell Ubisoft to stick it and publish straight to steam yourself in the Western market. You can double your profit, ignore their knee jerk reactions that caused a lot of us to cancel pre-orders, and all us IL-2 and other sim fans will love you all the more for it.

Just my $.02
