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

[Ivan Fooker]

The patch didnt brought real noticeable increasements for me to be honest.
The prop pitch doesnt pip back to neutral which makes it unplayable in a Bf109 with CEM.
The full screen mode seem to work now, had no crashes or black screens as b4.

the 109 is still flyable with CEM, it just depends on how you have mapped the proppitch.

mapping two buttons, one for increase the other for decrease pitch, is not working.

having it on a slider/wheel with a center is.

And if you havent got a slider or wheel?

That's a good question.

Besides that, micro stutters are back over land, really bad stuttering now over LeHavre, lower performance over London than with previous versions both in Full and Pseudo.

In addition to that, still no GUI fixes for custom loadouts in quick and single mission, still wrong prop on the Spit MkIa, an unflayable 109 if you don't map pitch to a slider... Seriously... Hope you will do better next time.

Lol when you put it like that..

If this game reacts that differently to different configs as to what were seeing they have a MAMMOTH task in front of them..

I dont understand coding/programming etc so i have no idea but to state what has been fixed of which their sure about to then it not happen and not happen in a big way..Wow

Does this patch have the right to be called a 'retail' patch?

Yep, and the writing is on the wall that it will not finish in 1c's favor in the long run, if that's the way they want to go. It definately is hard for me to understand how in all world they are testing their fixes... Seriously, they should post the specs of their test rig so we can see what we will have to excpect.

Just noticed the new amazing flicker effect I have on the shadows now, geeez. I'll stop posting before I start ranting, lol.

Yeah, I can see that writing on the wall, too. Until now, the mantra literally is "1 step forward, 2 steps back". I severely doubt that CoD will be a capable flight sim 6 months after release, as people were reassured so many times by 'believers' in maddox games.
The fact that they ran into major trouble when struggling to implement True Full Screen Mode leads me to think that either their codebase is botched or their programming abilities are not exactly stellar. Or both.
Now, what to expect for my CoD purchase? I really don't know...this patch did absolutely nothing for me; the game was running okay since almost release and major functionality is still missing and untouched. If there is no major re-thinking, things look bleak from my perspective.

I've also seen what I think is enemy planes skipping large distances in front/behind me, which may be what's causing the arrows to 'glitch' (if the game suddenly realise the plane you're turning toward is actually now behind you!) - but I can't be sure.

Anyone else getting anything like this?

What's the problem with that? My 'arrows' behave like that since day 1 and I don't think they're buggy. If you turn 'into' the arrows, the corresponding planes come into your field of view and the arrows aren't needed anymore. It just might be that the planes are still to far away for visual contact... yes, it's tuned that way; arrows appear first, at a time when the actual plane is not yet visible.
So don't cook up home-made 'bugs' please... the devs might jump on it feverishly, 'fixing' it for a month or two while neglecting anything else and we're back at the situation from above

S!

Did smoothen things, but had first Launcher.exe crash after running Black Death track. So cleared Cache, restarted computer and worked again. Still get occasional pauses/stutters while the game loads(or whatever). Especially around buildings, sometimes above water.

Black Death gave lower FPS average than before. Dropped from 34-37 to 30-32. Also seems the view in BD was more zoomed out. Anyone noticed this? Shadows flicker at distance but if you look at them within "the circle of LOD" they most of times do not. Three blue stripes are in the horizon.

Step towards right direction, but will wait a few patches before making any conclusions. Would be happy to have the AMD related issues sorted as I want to try CrossFire

More testing to commence..
