CO-OPs again...

[Force10]

You made a lot of valid points Phat, and I am glad that the issues at present don't keep you from enjoying the sim. I think I can sum up my situation sort of like this: COD with it's great cockpits and feeling of flight have ruined me for IL-2 1946, 46 just seems too cartoony now. COD with all of the issues for offline play has also ruined me for COD...so there you have it. Between a rock and a hard place. Thats why I end up here looking for good news instead of flying either of them.

Anyway, back on topic(sort of): Blackdog was making a comparison of Launch version of IL-2 vs Launch version of COD. Not the 10 years of work 1946 of present. If you look at the Combatsim review link Furbs posted, you will see him talk about a great co-op mission he flew with a friend. This is out of the box IL-2 he's talking about here, so I don't think the comparison he was making was valid.

Can I suggest you and others persevere with it especially online in the ATAG servers. They are a little less air quake than some. It's very rewarding if you can look past some of the imperfections that will be ironed out hopefully shortly and this co-op option is showing a lot of promise!

I have tried mate, truly I have, but my story goes like this,

Go through take off procedure, warm engine up. Start to taxi, get straffed, not all the time but fairly often. Restart take off procedure, finally take off, gain some altitude whilst orbiting. Spot a distant dot, gain on it and try to identify, oh its disappeared. See flak below, drop in on enemy aircraft, he hasn't seen me, line up my sights and WHAM, crash to desk top. Multiply many times....then give up.

Well drop your graphic settings the game crashes a lot less for me since I have turned off shadows and the ghost dot problem is not a problem for me any more.

I used to see the phantom dot enemies but to be honest since playing on ATAG haven't seen it once. As for straffing, it's part of the game and I know it can be frustrating, you just have to move bases. As for crashing, how are your GPU temps? My GTX 580s used to overheat with default max fan speeds. Before I got my water cooling blocks on I Flashed the bios to enable 100% fan which stopped a lot of crashing. Now on water they run at 52c and with the latest drivers I don't get any launcher CTD.

To be fair I haven't seen them for a few weeks but they are mentioned on Comms regularly then again I rarely chase bomber formations nowadays.

If anyone is interested in flying coops in CloD please try them with Banks' lobby and provide feedback in that thread. SD squad flies them without any problems.
