Mmm I'm not sure if having two unconnected cards has any kind of effect on performance, I'll need to ask our graphics guys when they get in.

Regarding Aero, here are the steps:

1. Brose to the main install flder for Cliffs of Dover. By default it is
(Program Files)\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover
where (Program Files) is the actual physical location that can vary for your individual
machine.

2. Find a file called Launcher.exe in the folder
(it may simply be Launcher, if you have disabled the display of file extensions in
Windows)

3. Right-click the file and select Properties.

4. Select the Compatibility tab in the window that appears.

5. Make sure "Disable desktop composition" checkbox in the Compatiblity tab is UNchecked and press OK.

No worries. You are right to be angry if the game is failing to meet your expectations. Thanks for actually sticking with us through all this. We're working very hard to get there.

I made a short video to show what I reported about the pp working as intended in my system.


Forget the first seconds of the video, while the aircraft is satbilizing after starting the mission. Watch from second 13.

Hopefully you can find why it doesnt work for others

ANALOGUE AXIS BEING USED

It needs to work with both methods Both axis and or push key, though push key in the case of the DB601 system makes more sense imo. To replicate the actual DB601 switch mechanisation any axis assignment would need to be a Spring loaded or return to centre axis would it not ?

[Blackdog_kt]

Sure it does, i just think i wouldn't use an axis if i need to recenter it to keep the pitch steady.

Unless you mean that they tried to make the same control function work as a return-to-center function when using keypresses and as an analog slider when using, well, a slider ( ) at the same time, in which case it would explain why things got mixed up.

Works like that for me too, i.e. correctly. I will be very disappointed if this is changed! I have a CH Flight Sim Yoke with built-in levers for throttle, prop pitch and mixture.

Radio still not working!!!

Except ....

Pushing UP ("Grober") should increase RPM, with Clock indicator increasing (Clockwise)
Pushing DOWN ("Kleiner") should decrease RPM with Clock indicator decreasing (Anti Clockwise)

Both Push key and axis assignment needs to be available to cater for all users.

The game is noticeably smoother now. Even when I load a mission with lots of planes over London, my framerate varies from 25 to 35 fps but it feels like it's running faster, because it's smoother. Nice job.

I noticed the bombs in the Black Death track no longer bounce like superballs.

A track that I saved a couple days ago now looks very strange. The wide field of view setting has magically increased to an unknown value over 90 degrees, so the picture is distorted around the edges.

I still have the ATI 6k series issues. Ugly blue lines on the horizon, flickering shadows, occasional stripes of land in the ocean and vice versa, no anti-aliasing.

Thank you!

Sorry luthier but this was unchecked. Thats not the problem. All items were as you stated should be.

Full screen
All settings on high
8X AA
no Anti E filter
V sync on
and that SAAO thing was on
no Crossfire

Played both offline and online. Game seems less smooth and AA seemed to be horrid for both my buddy and I. as stated previously, he couldnt fillow me because wings were disapearing and reapearing (i'm assuming AA problems) as well as planes at distances and sometimes close. We built the same computers and he had same new problems as I.

Please let me know if I'm missing something.
