Describe issues with BOB COD that need patch - for Oleg, Luthier

[dflion]

In the 'Land of Oz' its Sunday afternoon, its a beautiful day (what am I doing on the computer?) and I have just had an incredible 'crash free' fly with the the Spitfire 1 and Messerschmitt 109-E3 in BOB COD. All the land features have been turned down though the aircraft and airfield buildings are on high.

I have decided to turn everything on in the cockpit and just fly from A to B to familiarize myself with the aircraft. Everything is working well! I started with Ver. 1.00.13716 and have noticed 'Steam' has upgraded me to Ver. 1.00.13820. llya keep those upgrades coming!

For all the doubter's there is certainly some issues with this release, though the potential of IL2 ver.2 will be amazing. Firstly the map is something to behold, even though things don't work properly now, it can only get better. What I really like is the 'geographical relief' at ground level. It is a vast improvement on IL2 ver.1, you can look around and really see the landscape with its valleys and hills. The airfields look real - flat with low undulations.
From the air you can easily follow a large relief map.

Now to the cockpit. Firstly you need to understand where everything is (I have attached a Bf109 cockpit sketch I did for IL2 ver.1 - this might help a few people when all the cockpit features are turned on?). For all the the people having problems lowering the flaps on the Bf109, firstly turn everything on in the cockpit, then 'pan down' to the flap contol wheel (bottom left hand corner) and using your mouse raise or lower the flaps. If you understand the basics of flying a 'piston engined' aircraft you will be a lot better-off in this sim when everything is turned on. For the 'Newbies' some extra study will be very worthwhile.

Finally, you need to map your controls very carefully to make everything work. Sadly there isn't enough published info. to really get you started in this sim. this is a very bad omission?

That's a nice summary dflion, but I don't think it really belongs in a bug reporting thread.

Another bug/missing feature - no way to select gun belting presets in multiplayer when spawning aircraft.

Completley unable to load game. Just get this when I try to open it.


I am able to press [ and ] to change gamespeed at this screen, even though the menu has not loaded yet even.

i7 2.66, 6 gigs of corsair ram, asus rampage II gene mobo, nvidia GTX 480.
Running nvidia drivers 270.57. Reinstalled everything in the COD 'redist' folder, uninstalled .net and reinstalled from microsoft, updated direct x from the microsoft website, and deleted and redownloaded COD twice.
Still the same screen on startup.

Running the game, the Graphics Card Clock speed stays at 500 MGHz instead of going up to the maximum of 880 MGHz.

The GC usage is running at 100% and the clock speed should increase (I'm monitoring it, and it works in all other games). It's as if IL2 CoD isn't identifying itself as a 3D application to the GC software, not sure. But it definitely isn't right.

What tool do you use to monitor this?
I just checked with Open Hardware Monitor and there i can only see the max values which went up to 800 for my card, mem clock up to 1250 max.

Max clocks for the CPU cores 48%/28%/28%/36% ?!?

But i don't know if this tool is reliable. At least the temp logs are comparable to the performance readout of the CCC.

Can somebody confirm or infirm this?

It seems to me that since yesterday I cannot trim my plane any longer. Actually, when using the keys for elevator trim it well activates the trip taps on the elevator in the desired direction. Unfortunately I cannot see this from cockpit as the trimming wheels are not animated.
But in flight I don't seem to be able to trim at all. I don't feel any difference ...

Launcher error.

As per following post:

Can't even start game consistently - sometimes I get in, sometimes not. Mostly not.

Have tried all suggested fixes.

Are they beta nvidia drivers? I thought current version was 266.58?

I have exactly the same problem (as do quite a few, see here) and I at least upgraded to those beta drivers because the FAQ suggested it. The current drivers do not work and nor do any others from what others say.

I've tried the same things as Corrvan and everything else I could think of/find with zero success. There doesn't seem to be any solution at all atm!

Indeed beta drivers, upgraded to them after getting this error with 266.58, as per the faq. =)
