Added reflections? Where they? lol Gotta say I didn't notice any.....


I notice them most on the prop with the sun behind. There's also reflections off distant objects.

Those have been there for quite a few months, before the last release patch. However, water reflections don't show up since the 2nd beta, are you getting them now?

You want crashes, specific crashes...Give details of what you need...
OS, Version, Patch level, DX?....hardware???

I am sure there are people around who might be able to help out... especially if they know exactly what you are looking for.

Sorry if it has already been covered, but details would great.

Thanks BlackSix and the team.

If there's to be a mini update could we have the Spitfire throttles fixed please?

By the way - is CoD modelled with a 'Standard day'? Can you give us information on the atmospheric conditions used in CoD? These would play a big part in all those speed and climb tests people are doing.

Interesting is that in the same map and condition Spitfire MK II (87 Octan) has close performacne to RL data but other planes not.

If CloD CTDs there are specific crash dump files created in your "Your Documents\1C Softklub\Il-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover\cppcrash" folder. Zip these and mail them to ishevchenko(at)1cpublishing.eu .

Thanks for the update, B6. My experience is that the new engine is a huge step in the right direction. Thanks also for clearing up some other misconceptions.

No, that was in response to someone saying that the devs dont test online because they "didnt have internet in the office" and the devs stated they had tersted online and they had internet set up in the office.

That wasnt the only reason the patch wasnt released, reread the issues. Clearly there are still problems with the effects (as they stated re. clouds).

The information doesn't contradict itself, it seems more a problem in how certain people interpret the information given.

Many Thanks and good luck

A venerable project director learned me several years ago a basic rule when you are in the middle of a problem: "never ask why".

Cheers!
