OLD BETA patch 14413 - May 4, 2011(!!!) - do not install!

[shabir]

Hi,

I have a question. whether the patch will be available through Steam.
(So ​​far Steam account shows me the lack of updates)

[mcler002]

This is a beta patch -> we are downloading it from "here" and testing it... if its gd, then it will become offical via steam... but i dont believe it is for most people... so the answer is no, not at the moment

Although, I was not having too many problems prior to the patch except when low over cities and in cloud.
This is the first patch I have used and prior to this my main bug bear was crashes back to desktop that required a reboot to get out of, hopefully this patch has cured that problem also.

Edit after lunch: after 40 mins or so of flying (or attempting to fly see below) I got the crash back to desktop again and had to reboot.

I am flying exactly as before with full CEM (ie same settings and adjustments of prop pitch, mixture and radiatior depending upon situation) but now I am lucky to get 4 or 5 mins before the dreaded oil over the windscreen no matter how I try to adjust engine controls. In deparation I turned off engine temp effects and when back for a take off start and thats when the crash occured.

Further to the above:

I am back to being able to manage the engine without damaging it - I think the constant damaged engine problem started after I selected one of the new missions that came with this patch. I forgot to mention before, but air starts when the CEM was playing up did not give me enough time to adjust engine controls before oil started appearing on the canopy.

More frequent black screens and computer lockups now that can only be fixed by rebooting.

Does the "verify integtity of game cache" in Steam get me back to no patch?

Good to see great work but ..
Pseudo ? seriously .... dhu!! ( and yes better FPS )
The head movements are too much still , it feels like the head is on "rubber" .. mostly that when you actually receive G's in RL you will get seriously more stiffed!!!! and not like we have now..
Mostly on up and down +G and -G's

Question: What about Rivers banks as it was said years ago that because this engine is a little different than IL2 we should of got the possibility to ovoid flat surfaces with rivers/ocean to land.. also clouds were are the different levels of clouds and also the varieties...?

Crossfire.. humm not quite that yet.. overhaul smoother !

This update is really bad for me. In city areas my FPS dropped to 8-10 FPS and I got sutters even more than before. Last beta patch was better than this patch. My system specs are Intel Core 2 Quad 3.0 Ghz, GeForce GTX 570, 4 GB RAM on Windows 7 64 Bit.

Yes, it will put the game in its official latest steam release state.

To GOZR:
Your head in high G is not still because the force actually shortens your spine. Actually I didn´t really notice this effect to be overdone. And during negative G manoeuvres the straps cant hold you so tight (tryed in RL).

To TIMHOLT:
Yesterday tried the new beta and flew 40 mins on a He111P with no engine issues(a lot of full power flying, some high speed dive, cruise). (CEM on) Do you have such problems on every type of plane? Check if you dont do something wrong
Edit: Good to see you have it fixed.

Else the patch seems smoother around cities, but Nvidia control panel cant detect the game. I have also A-10C installed and even if I erase the profile for A-10 and then add launcher of il2 and do some settings, click apply and then fly, afterwards the profile for il2 has A-10 icon. In game I saw no difference with AA16AF16 set in nvidia control pannel. Idon´t know if the issue is the same file name of both sims or there is a problem with il2.

Friggin awesome.

Got no issues at all first but later I wasn't able to exit multiplayer and switch team like some others. One thing I don't understand is why the timing mixture lever has been remove on the 109 ? I got no issue at all with it and like it add more realism to the plane. I guess it might have been the cause of the engine missing a couple of sparks at high alititude.

-No FPS issues, as before, but increased stutters. Had less stutters before.

-Over selfmade free flight channel map glinches in textures widely and evenly spread (10x10km) and repeatingly over the whole map. Looks like small, green hills rising every 50m out of the ground and the sea.

-Had problems with multiplayer choosing army (but that might`ve happend just randomly)

-Otherwise no improvement noticed (3 ATI stripes, flinkering clouds, racing waves etc etc etc)
