Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs Of Dover Retail Patch v 1.01.14550

So, you will have to hold the button at -1 or 1 until the pitch gets to where you need it to be on the clock face, instead of like old IL-2 where you could lead it to where you needed it be by adjusting the axis value (i.e., -1 to 1 and everything in between) and letting the game (i.e., the lag of the virtual electric motor) catch up to your input. Seems more realistic this way.

Edit:

Sorry, late post. Read up above about the large deadzone (i.e, <>-1 or 1 =open circuit).

Just did a quick little test on one of the quick missions (German side, Attack Column).

Game's fairly smooth, some stuttering when you're think & heavy with aircraft, bullets, explosions etc. What DID give me quite a bit of a suprise, however, was the new effects. Pretty damn nice, and scared the bejesus out of me.

Came in at a shallow dive against a column of vehicles, singled out what looked like a fuel-truck. Nailed it with a few 20mm-shell, which then proceded to give me the biggest fireball I've seen in the game so far! VERY nice, and the blast came as a complete suprise to me.

Will tune and tweak things a bit more when I get home from work later today, but this looks promising.

So I have definitely noticed an improvement in the games performance but now I've noticed all kinds of new issues. I realize these guys have been working hard but my patience is running thin. I paid money for this game and I think it would be a stretch to say that this game was even in a beta testing phase when it was released. Anyway on to my issues. The Bf-109's propeller will not stay in a high pitch setting. I have to hold my increase pitch button down to get it to stay in high pitch. This wasn't a problem before the update and no other plane has this problem. I also noticed that you now have the option to change the loadout and the plane you are flying in quick missions, however your changes don't show up in the mission. I also have these long gray strips in the ocean on the Calais quick missions.

I think that was there before, i've been flying this mission in a 110C-7 every single day just for the fireballs. You should see it if you manage to land a hit with bombs

Please go back a few pages, skim through the thread and you'll find the answer. It's been explained maybe as less as 3-4 pages back and a hotfix is on the way.

Sorry if i sound rude, it's definitely not my intention, but what you describe is what everyone has just been talking about, it was explained and we also got developer feedback on the issue.

As a temporary workaround you can set throttle to keyboard and pitch to your axis. As long as the axis on your stick is near its center positiong your pitch will stay steady, as long as it is near the edges the pitch will change. Hope this gets you up and running until the hotfix is applied

Hi,

Thanx for the latest patch.

1. I don't think 8xAA is working yet (still), the attached screenshot is taken with Max settings (runs smooth as silk) but still there is horrible jaggies.

Vsync on 1360x768x32@60Hz

2. FFB still takes a while to kick in (have to do a high G manouver to get it to kick in)

3. No engine sound for all planes except the player in recorded tracks.

All help truly appreciated.

Cheers, Neil

What are your graphics card settings? Do you have FSAA disabled in there or something?

Stock settings for Graphics card, 8xAA setting in game only.

Have tried using Nvidia inspector in the past to force AA settings but does not work either.

8xAA with 1360x768 is an odd choice. U will get the same effect increasing resolution instead. The performance hit is about the same i would say.


Unless your monitor is old and cant go higher u would gain massivly from choosing higher res instead of low res and 8xAA

Sttuters increased and AA got worse. Back to 14305, overall the best patch for my rig.

1360x768 is the native res of my 32" LCD. I cannot select a higher res, nor should I need to

The pic below is in Stock Il2-1946 at the same res with real 8xAA
