Constructive explanation of issues

[TonyD]

Luthier did state that the game was using a 'pseudo' full-screen mode, which may have something to do with this issue; when I reduce the resolution from 1080p to 1600 x 900, the display stretches over the screen horizontally, but not vertically, as if I was trying a 16 x 7 format. Similarly with 1360 x 768.

I thought that lowering the resolution may improve performance somewhat, but am stuck at the default resolution with this issue. Any ideas?

Since the patch, when I go 1 vs 1 against any other plane on quick game and shoot the opponent down, game starts to stutter heavily (as soon as the enemy crashes into the sea) which doesn't stop until I quit the mission and create a new one.
Reproduceable on quick mission (channel, even).

The first mission of Adler Angriff is bugged. The plane you have to protect starts at the waypoint near the ships and gets shot down even before you can get anywhere close to that location (reproduceable).

Also there is a sound issue which is quite nerving. Anytime on the runway or the grassfield I can hear the sound of the rolling gear. That would be ok if the plane actually moves. But I also get that sound, when standing still.
Also, the plane often moves slightly to the left or right with engine off and while on the ground. This even happens when both brakes are engaged to 100%. (reproduceable)

I can´t use my radio. It simply doesn´t work.
Also the mission-scripting in the campaign seem to bee a little bit .... crazy.I tried to play the first 3 missions and yeah the bombers aren´t dropping their bombs and so on...
But nevertheless I have great fun with the FMB

With some performance issues fixed, the most important now is to solve the A.I.
and radio communications problem, so we can enjoy the game.

Thank you!

OK, besides the buildings causing stutters and smoke and dust causing massive fps drop which are the biggest issues here are some others:

- unable to select/save loadouts and skins

- the irvin jacket goes through the side of the Spitfire

- Please do something about the engine sounds

- Radio chatter: it's unintelligible, and my wingmen don't care about my orders either

- Mixture in Hurricane is reversed

- Spitfire MKIa should have a CS prop, let's leave the 2 pitch one to the MKI
now it's basically the same plane

-AI - please, not these barrel rolls again!

-Clouds: they cause stuters and FPS drop when they come into view for the first time. They don't look any better than il2 coulds so I dpn't understand...

-can we have overcast weather or heavy couds please?

-wind: it's so strong that it turns my Spitfire into the wind on the ground.

Game had fair to bad perfomances before patch. After patch it worsened, and now freezes during mission loading.

My computer is a Mac Pro 5.1
OS Windows XP, 32 bit.
Quad-core Intel Xeon, 2.8 GHz
Cache L2 256 MB x 4
Cache L3 8MB
Ram 6 GB
ATI Radeon HD 5770
VRAM 1024 MB
Monitor Apple Cinema Display 27 Inches, 2560 x 1440

Note: as any Intel Mac, it can be switched between Mac Os and Windows Os (both installed). It perfom flawlessly with Il2 Sturmovik.



EDIT: updated ATI Radeon driver. Looks like this solved main trouble, as now the game run regularly, smooth over water, with lower frame frate and occasional stutter on land.

I cannot load or record tracks. This issue has persisted from first install, beta patch and steam released patch.

After starting a mission I press escape to get to the menu and click the text to start recording. The game freezes after that and I have to end the launcher.exe process with the tast manager.

I downloaded some .trk files and placed them in the records directory in my documents folder. When I go to tracks and click select nothing happens, apparently for other people they are able to browse for a track to play. I just have nothing but the text on the screen and the background image. The game does not freeze at this point.

My system:
Windows 7 Pro - 64bit
i7-2600k
16 Gb ram
gtx580 1.5Gb
game installed on SSD.

Systems is a fairly freshly installed, about 2 months ago.

There have been threads about this, but the auto engine management in the first Spitfire (and afaik, all Spitfires) given to the player in the GB Campaign is horribly wrong. After takeoff it's impossible to get decent speeds out of it, maxed throttle & level flight gives varying top speeds, sometimes as low as 120, never over 200. I'm being outrun by bombers and it's essentially made the GB campaign unplayable past the point you're given the Spitfire.

Needs fixing asap! (and please don't say use set CEM to manual, some of us don't want to! )

When strafing a runway in the FMB I found this , It's done it with 110's and HE111's . 109's were ok. All I have been doing was changing the aircraft only in objects browser. Same waypoints ect. Also you can see some weird shadow bug , like a big dark circle around the selected aircraft -- i'm sure this would have been mentioned though.

Loading up the Black Death track and while in free view mode I saw this.

I think it's a shadow bug problem?
