Constructive explanation of issues

[DrPepper]

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.

Prior to the patch I had managed to get the game running reasonably well with Forests = off, Grass = off, Shadows = off and Buildings = Lowest.

After the patch it's stuttering badly again, even with the above settings and after doing the right click on the launcher.exe to change that setting mentioned in the patch thread.

Not allowed to rant or complain, so that's all...

1. Implement Force Feedback.

2. Problems recognizing all available axes on multiple controllers (intermittent)

3. Could use SSAO checkbox option in Video Options, at least until you can get playable framerates.

4. Non-native video resolutions don't scale properly.

5. Separate Shadows options for cockpit, forest/buildings, terrain would be nice (Gotta have the cockpit shadows but can live without the rest for now) if possible.

6. Launcher.exe crashes everytime whenever restarting application after video option change

7. Oh and FORCE FEEDBACK (just in case you forgot).

8. Somebody please get in touch with Vincent or somebody over at NaturalPoint to add in a TrackIR profile for CoD.

There's a ton more but besides the obvious major performance issues like hitching, the rest can wait.

agreed 100%, seperate shadows to cockpit, because my treeshadows is flickering at low level, i don't like it but i love cockpit shadows.

Config files don't save until exiting the game

Hello, this are little remarqs;
The Stipfire MK I compas indicate the wrong direction betwen east and west, 270 should be 90.It is inverted north south also.
The weels noice do not stop when you leave the ground even if you apply brakes.
Sometimes (most of the time) you can see left shoulder and sleeve from the pilot trough the fuselage.
I my game the MK I has only the empty load in the single player missions.
The fuel gugedo not work, stays at 36gallons of fuel for the one hour 21 minutes flow at one go.
The artificial horizon indicator stay stuck a little to long after some acrobatics, and there is no cage uncage possibility.

A game little problem is that every ttime I load the game I must reload the keys configuration file, so I can get my control back to where I want them.
In the statistics menu the hour flown are strange! I do not take notes but there are more hours flown than hours played with this game.
There is no functionning radio or there are no answers to my messages.

For the Hurricane there is a mirror on the ouside view and none in the inside view.

Thanks for this fantastic simulation. I hope you seel a lot so that in ten years wha have still the possibility to play IL2 COD.

In dogfight the AI sometimes makes negative G maneuvers with Hurricane and Spitfire which however doesn't cause the engine to starve out they carry on fighting as if nothing happend. Besides that the AI also uses these annoying combat maneuvers that we already know from IL-2 '46. Like those constant jerky barrle rolls and using hard rudder in almost all situations.

When a plane hits the water the splash is missing. This occured after the patch as far as I know the water was splashing before the patch.

Wanted to change the sound volume of the speech in game while I was recieving a transmission. I ended up having the radio static sound playing constantly in the backround. I had to restart the game to fix this.

The radio is still not working.

I know this is not as important right now but please also do something about the sound. The spitfire engine pipes down on high RPM. The menu music is a touch better than the old track but where did those awesome tracks from the trailer and preview videos go? The taxiing sound continues even in flight and after parking the aircraft.
And I don't have to remind you of the infamous flying 1000hp lawnmowers.

Go to Launcher.exe properties, compatibility tab, uncheck Disable Visual Decoration.

Nice find! Works great now, although the setting was called "Disable Visual Themes" for me.

Going to post this advice in some other threads with people having a similar problem.

Thanks!

Toggling Snap/Pan mode doesn't seem to work as expected for me.

The view never snaps back to look forward and it just seems to disable the hat switch.
