A few noob questions that could resume common issues...:-)

Can I solve this???I found something about this but not a lot and finally w/ a solution...

I think this is related to Vsync ON - turn then OFF.
ON cause issues in use TOOLS over map too - at least for me.

-I cant find a way to MOVE my head inside the cockpit like done with trakIR, I mean I can turn my head but not MOVE it up, down, right and left no matter what cobination of keys I push in the mouse?¿?¿?¿?

Hiting F10 you can use mouse to look around - but loose abillity to clik in cockpit controls.
In nornal mode hold middle mouse botton allow the same thing.

Combining this and key (need assign) "Hold to adjust field of view" you can lean left/right front/back (until things go psychedelic).

This allow, for example, see Spitfire/Hurri compass without obstruction.

Alternative, use trd part soft JoyToKey* and make this "mouse view" with POV HAT.

Another key to assign is "hold to zoom FOV" - this only slight insight of cockpit, slight.

Maybee all this is not what you desire, 6DOF, but is what is available in CloD.

-In the external view...how the hell can I get closer or the opposite from the plane, I mean NOT changing the FOV or zooming but MOVING the cam near the plane?¿?¿?¿?I have tried a lot of conbinations with no succes...

With the above key "Hold to adjust point of view" and mouse Y movement you can do a big "zoom" In, and a pysicodelic "zoom" out.

Weather:

-I have seen some screens with a nice "morning" haze/fog in the ground...how can I set that weather?¿?¿? I can only see the amount of clouds and its base altitude???thats all I can configure for a free flight???

This "fog" is a "trademark" of IL-2 series - exist since the first 2001 version.
In CloD, in last patchs are exchange for "performance", include searchlighs light in this list too...

You can play with wheater in FMB using wheater object, with more advanced Clouds, winds (you can set a hurricane), but this is unfinished (as the rest...)

*If you dont have a stick/HOTAS with advance programing software, like TARGET, CH Commander, Saitek SST... Ifd have do the same in then.

Many thanks Sokol!!

-About the prop problem...well I have tried disabling Vsync, and unfortunatelly the problem stills there...anyway, I CANT disable vsync because if so, the game stutters like crazy so...any other idea??? am I the only one with this problem or what?¿?¿?

-My problem with the cockpit cam is that I want to do the movement shown in this video on 1m 32sec:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ul3Qebg1rE

that LATERAL movement is what I cant do...how can I do that whitout a trakIR?¿?¿?¿?I played long ago on a friends house to CoD (without TrackIR) and I remember that we could do that...

-For the external view, I DONT want to do a "zoom" I just want to get phisically closer to the plane...


-Nice to know about the haze, will test then...


I have been out of the sim world (and CoD) for a bit long, so I have missed a lot of things then, Im interested too in knowing if they changed(lowered) the quality of the land shading with respect to older game versions/patches???hows that now?? because I would say that in some screens/videos I have seen, the land at dusk/dawn seem more "beautiful" like a nicer hazed horizont and a more misty land...right know it still being amazing fliying at 18:00h (best looking terrain for me ever!!) but I would say that it looked beter before, dont know...even the planes seems diferent with a worse quality shader?¿?¿? is me??or Im right??...the shadows (at least in cockpit) look good, but I would say that now they have less resolution than before, as the sight light effect, wich seem different and worse...

Bye mates!!!

Sorry, I mystype about this, the problem occurs (to me) with Vsync OFF.

With key that you assigned to "Hold to adjust FOV" + mouse movements.

Go do Controls > Camera and check if are key assigned.

-For the external view, I DONT want to do a "zoom" I just want to get phisically closer to the plane...

Well, what game provide is Adjust FOV an (small) ZOOM with mouse and specific keys ...

What you observe is correct.
In resume, the graphics are lowered with lastest (oficial and final) patchs.
Is expected to be restored/improved by Team Fusion at some moment in future.

"With key that you assigned to "Hold to adjust FOV" + mouse movements.

...yeeeesssss many thanks mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!it works like a charm!!!! Im sorry because I thought that it was a "zooming" function and so I never tried it, but YES, it makes what I was looking for hahaha!!!!

about the propeller...so Im the only one with the problem so far????...very weird that you solve the problem by enabling v-sync and I cant do it even enabling too ...maybe the crossfire?¿?¿?


And...only zoom for external view?¿?¿?¿?WTF?¿?¿?¿?

About graphics I knew I was right, sadly ...is there any way to roll back to an older game version?, Now I have a nice rig I would like to test some hard hitting graphics sim!!!

Many thanks mate!!!

EDIT: I think its the "atmospheric scattering" what they have "erased" from the game isnt it???

Yes, just it.
See this pictures from Jaws, he use one the first version of game.

But, now this is "water under the bridge".
Although washed, still much beauty in the game graphically.

[watermanpc]

yes!!, great shots!!, I wish I could go back to an older version just for testing, damn it!!!...meanwhile...any advice from some one with a crossfire config?? what is the actual best profile for Cod and crossfire???

[trooph]

Hi there.
My advice would be, ofcourse if u have few bucks to spend, get a facetrack or freetrack setup. It cost is just around 30$ with cam and stuff and as i read u are an engineer so u should have some manual skills aswell
Build a clip/cap get a PS3eye Cam and u wouldnt have to worry about head movements

Also:
My rig is
Phenom x2 965 be almost @ 3.8
Sapphire hd 7850 2gb a bit OCed
8gb ram
7200rpm hdd
and i get a lot of stuttering and micropause. No matter what ANGELS am i. I just dont get this game.
I tried to fix this but without any success it happens with low medium and high settings with and without AA. Only difference i see is when i lower buildings details and forest.
My Vram is rarely exceeding 1.5gb
Also i noticed that from time to time VRAM is just going "empty" and this is where the micropause comes in... Most annoying during dogfights..
Remember to increase ur "contacts" draw distance

Have a good one

Try the lost planet 2 profile in your Xfire set up.There are more than one in the list with different DX SETTINGS .That made a big difference to me.Good Luck.

Thanks buddy, I have tried several profiles and the result is the same (no difference at all) so Im quite sure it must be some vram related issue...the problem gets really worse as I get into a very cloudy area with a lot of houses and trees under...the frame rate is quite good (although not 60 fps) but things start to stutters a lot. I have ploted a frame TIME graph and I can see some CRAZY high peaks well over 30ms(the acceptable limit) every time I fly low over the trees (and/or when fsp drop below 60) so it could be a problem with the frame time (wich is a very common issue right now for almost all AMD cards)...So I´ve tried with radeon-pro and its auto v-sync (similar to the nvidia dynamic v-sync) but I think it doesnt work with CoD as I cant see any difference when I activate it (in comparsion I can see a huge one in Trine 2 when activated as the frame rate is a LOT more smooth)...so any more idea??Im the only one with this problem so far??? all of you have an smooth low flying over trees cover???

On the other hand I have noticed another weird problem with the sim...I can make a click with the mouse on the cockpit instruments but with the instruments that can "slide" I cant do it?¿?¿? For example the radiator lever...I cant slide it with the mouse...any help here???


//Off topic: Certainly, I have buy (second hand) a PS3 eye cam, and the result with FTNoIr is just.......it has doubled easily the response time and now its very, very smooth and precise even with the face recognition method...I guess that if I build the IR system I would get a very consistent track IR at a fraction of price!!!...what I dont know is why the cam is at 56Hz and not 60Hz?¿?¿?¿? but anyway its by far a lot better than my C300 cam at 30Hz hahaha...//

Many thanks mates!!!
