4.09 - Support & Bug Reporting

[Bulau]

I, and a few others, have had a problem with the 4.09 Server Patch. After applying the patch to a working 4.08 Dedicated Server, on startup the server crashes to desktop with no error messages, before completely finished loading.

In my own case, I have resolved this problem by replacing the following new .dlls with the old ones from the working 4.08 server:

il2_core.dll
il2_coreP4.dll
mg_snd.dll
mg_snd_sse.dll

I did not individually test to see if any one of those was the only culprit.

My server runs Win2KPro and AMD Athlon 1.6GHz.

So have a lot of the FM's been altered? Planes I've flown for years are flopping and stalling. Even the MC205 seems much more spineless.

If so, do you have a report listing the planes that underwent FM modifications and why? I'll apologize now if this has been discussed and hope some one can link me to the answer and/or the list of altered planes.

Thanks!

I ran into a weird thing;

Playing a track of sm-79, the skin has been changed from the track.
When I change the skin in the original mission in the FMB ,it also changes the skin in the track??? after recording?

When I belly-land the SM-79 , the engines (propellors) keep on turning.

And is it possible to make the instrument lights somewhat brighter? for better reading?

No FM work was done by Daidalos except the minor issues listed in readme. Yet ...

I know that many don't think highly of the 185, but it seems that something has definitely changed. It does nothing but stall. The MC205 also seems a lot more unstable.

Could it be stick settings? I have always used Crazy Ivans stick settings. Would this, some how, be different in 4.09?

Is your "yet" a polite indicator that recent FM changes have Maddox finger prints on them? It is what it is.....it's ok if the FM has been changed, but I would like to know before I go ripping into my stick configurations.

Can't say anything regarding Maddox Games. I - personally - don't think they touched anything (since they're up to their elbows in work for SoW) so I'm not sure where the effects come from. I just don't know ... maybe placebo rearing its ugly head again?

A tiny bug to report on one of the new 4.09m QMB missions.

Map: MTO
Target: Airbase
Defence: None

Although Defence is set to 'None', there is still a nasty AAA Tank (Coelian) defending the base. There should be no AAA on the base at all. (There is a seperate AAA setting for that).

Oh I have no doubt it could be a sugar pill. The weird thing is, several had mentioned a huge light difference in the planes I mentioned earlier. I remained skeptical until I flew them. It wasn't subtle. Maybe I will get a few more hours sleep tonight.

Im having problems in the full mission builder. Apart from placing units of a type and the type not being what i selected, which seems to be erratic, one problem i get EVERY time is a minimizing to desktop every time i try to change the loaded map. It seems IL2 now remembers the last map you had loaded when you launch it, rather than the FM builder being empty on start, so this means that the screen freezes sometimes when trying to load a different map. its odd really, because it will either Minimize to Desktop or i will have to task switch around then back to IL2 to load a map, or it will minimize itself.

Ive no idea whats causing this. Im on Vista32 with Clean Install of IL21946 with 408m and 409m, both downloaded from 1C FTP server.

I found it odd that noone else has mentioned it yet, so i thought i would ask.

i185: 4 of them made, 2 crashed during testing, the other 2 on standby in hangers. What a mythical plane. Personally I think it is the most over modeled A/C in this game to date... can sustain a Climb on a 44 Fw190 D9 no stalls or wing overs... Can get to 7k meters in no time flat... mater of fact. I have yet to see a max service ceiling for this plane... you could orbit the moon and then some in my experiences with it...
