A lot of the confusion with controls stems exactly from this fact. In IL2:1946 the controls all behaved the same, in CoD they work just like they did in the real aircraft. This confuses a lot of people and it also causes bugs (like in this case) because the same control has to be custom-coded for each separate aircraft.

I still prefer it over the old system though and once the remaining bugs are taken care off (a small list of 5-7 or so) it will be perfect, really gives a sense of individual character to each aircraft.




Pretty much how it works for me too. The confusion comes from the fact that you need to save at each individual options screen.

Example: Let's say i want to make a loadout with two SC250 bombs, 50% fuel and a custom ammo belt and convergence for the Bf-110C-7.
I need to first set the fuel and bombs on the first screen and save. Then i have to edit the guns for convergence and ammo belt and save in the second screen. Finally, i have to select my bomb fusing options in the last screen and save again.

If i save all of them with the same name they don't overwrite each other, because each screen is about a different part of the loadout.

So, if save each step with a name like "50%fuel,2xSC250" i can go into the quick mission builder and actually select this loadout for my entire flight and it will include ALL of the changes i made.

If i only want to individually customize my own aircraft, i can just change things and click ok on each loadout screen once again by pressing the "player plane" button in the briefing screen before i press "fly". In this case i think it's not even necessary to save as long as i press "ok", because selecting loadouts from the briefing screen prior to spawning seems to over-ride all other options, ie the loadouts work everytime for me if i set them from there.

Hope it helps.

Blackdog_kt, your work for supporting this sim and help others, with very good and mature posts, is nothing less than amazing.

Keep on! you rock.

Something what i found on my machine, now my game is silky smooth without grass, i get steady 60fps on cross-country without grass. I mean real silky smooth, no rubberband effect at all on low flying. Then i put grass on and my max fps goes to 37fps and rubberband effect is there(even high flying when grass is not visible??), and then i go options and take grass away, grass goes away but i can only get 37fps with rubberband effect just like with grass.

Then i reboot game and FPS is back to steady 60fps without grass, so if you turn off grass, game needs to reboot to take FPS to back max without grass, weird but true on my case. Game doesen't tell you to reboot when change grass setting.

Funny is when i have the grass on and get it off, it's off but i don't get fps boost and get rid of rubberband effect without booting the game.

FPS checked with FRAPS

Look like London is stuttering now much more, do some testing but now Cross-coyntry is real enjoy to flight with silky smooth FPS, FPS cannot be better than now, 60fps at all time and no rubberband at all without grass.

Done some more testing, yeah London FPS is better but more stutter, really bad hickups there and there but great FPS.

What is reaaaaaly weird, sometimes when i launch a game i got really steady 60FPS without rubberband in Cross-Country, sometimes after a game launch i got 35-37 in same settings in the exatly same place on the runway, so grass is not the reason.

I mean i start a game first go to crosscountry, i got about 35-37 with rubberband, i quit start the game again and i got steady 60fps without rubberband and silky smooth, when it's smooth my TiR is really smooth too, really strange behaviour, just look like there is something trigger what sometimes go on and sometimes not go on. not smooth, restart, yeah smooth without touch on settings.

Another examble, i go first Cross-country, get steady 60fps, then i go to london, very bad stuttering, quit flight and go back straight to Cross-country, really bad stuttering first and then steady 35-37 again with rubberband, so before london it was steady 60 and really smooth.

Memory ???

I can alt tab to Win and back i use Fullscreen and v-Sync.

Looking better, now i get steady good FPS at all time, as long i avoid London.

If i fly London sometime and go back to Cross-country or England i don't get good FPS anymore in there, 30-37. So all is good as long i don't go London.

Actually really good performance now. Freeflight France is laggy too, those factoryareas.

As mentioned before, on airstarts there is no FF Centering Spring at all, some tight G turns and they come.

Yes, I can also confirm this since the beta patch where they added FFB support. My joystick is a Microsoft Force Feedback 2. Also, sometimes FFB is lost in the middle of a flight until you make some tight G turns again.

Now tested ready QMB missions, they are unplayable, really bad stuttering sometimes when i close to AI Bombers

All is good when i'm flying alone.

[David198502]

exactly!thats something else i recognized.if i come close to other planes there are massive stutters which were not before the patch.

[Aggro]

Some initial patch input: Patch works fine here, everything good, performance seems improved, it still has some way to go, it still has some unacceptable microstutters but its much improved. But no big issues with the patch, works good.

System: Win7 Sp1 fully updated. GTX470 1GB latest drivers, Sandy bridge CPU, 8GB RAM, regular harddrives nothing fancy there.

[addman]

Just tried it for 10 mins, Stuka still shakes after take-off but not in multiplayer! I'm flying full real both offline and online but the Stuka only shakes in offline mode, plz put in fix list cuz it's really annoying.

Sorry Kankkis, I just couldn't resist.
