The new Black Death Track

[Babi]

It would be nice to see some kind of bomb crater (even just a texture) after the bombs blow up. and also a more persistent smoke/clouds that last some minutes after the explosion would be nice too.

on the other hand the explosion itself looks fantastic, and it's extremely nice that they modelled the shock wave caused by it.

There are craters, they are just very small.

Here's mine:

Variable from 25 to 35 fps, with about 40 fps when no terrain behind. When I'm not recording with fraps, there's a mean increase of about 5 fps. In hardest explosions, fps fall to 10 for only a second. Sound of engines is missing, but that's a general track minor issue, In flight there's sound with no problems.

My config (spanish; Alto = Hight, Medio = Medium, Bajo = Low):

for the black death video, the bomb explosion looks great!! but only if the smoke and dust can remain longer.

On the first track, where the aircraft get blown up on the run way...i think the way they bounce all over the place is a bit over the top, youd think wings and stuff would get blown off but not for the plains to act like bouncy balls

Where is this track? The patch updated itself in Steam but no tracks exist in the tracks menu.

I had trouble finding the track as well- i found it eventually in:
C: program files (x86)/steam/steamapps/common/il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover/ records
It seems that's where the steam updater puts it. Once you've located it you can copy-paste it where your other tracks get put.

I ran the new Black Death track and I'm not satisfied at all.
I even got minimum of 3fps and this is outrageous for my brand new system. Not to mention that it doesn't seem like a "difficult" track. OK, it had some explosions and a few planes, but it's not like we had 60 planes fighting all together over London.

This game should not "compete" on how to become as unplayable as it can be and regretfully a simple track like new Black Death shows that developers have a lot of issues to solve before this game becomes playable like IL-2.

Doesn't work for me - I don't get a file select window opening, just the select and back buttons

edit: sorted - i had aero disabled
