COd just went from 10fps to 40.

Guys sorry but no other game forces you that try to change code left right and centre every other session try to to get it to run or more accurately not crash.

Face it, the game is still more broke than ever, nothing has changed in 6 months, so its slightly more playable than on release, but thats because we have better sounds coming slowly from someone who wasnt even part of their team.

I think its a real poor show. Sorry for being negative

you're really not used to flight sim tweaking are you? it's not tweaking code, it's changing a configuration settings file that is more complex than any gui could hope to make navigable.

the sounds make no difference to how playable a game is, but most certainly a lot of things have changed - those included. i can only speak for myself of course, but since this beta patch came out, and with this little tweak, i've been playing on and offline with a smoother game. i've got vastly improved performance since release. it's not near finished, perfect nor has it got the stability and playability of 1946 yet, but it's going in the right direction.

Does anyone else have this problem, I added a new view window on the top left and when i restart the game, there is a blank grew square on the top left of the screen, does anyone know how to get rid of that?

Changed my config as suggested and did seem to get some improvement in fps and smoothness. After the computer had been turned off and I restarted the game I found the objects had gained icons when they were turned off before and also some dialogue windows had suddenly appeared. I turned off the icons again in options and that got rid of the windows as well. I think the improvements are still there but they are not very large, maybe 5 fps or so but noticable.

Thanks for the tip.

Since I swapped my Sapphire 5770 for an EVGA gtx 570HD after I tested this earlier today, I thought people might be interested in the Black Death results using the same in game settings (Everything on medium plus shadows, grass, roads, no AA, epi off, ssao off, vsync off) and the new card.

This is with the standard DepthBits =24 StencilBits=8.

Frames 8088, Time (ms) 217650, Min 8, Max 84, Avg 37.161

So my new card has almost doubled the frame rate on these settings.

But then, I put all game settings on Very high, 8xAA, epi off, ssao and Vsync on and got this;

Frames 6366, Time (ms) 216867, Min 9, Max 62, Avg 29.354

Which does me fine for now

I'll try with the 'Bits' altered again and edit this post once done.

Can someone tell me how to check my FPS. in the game?... thankyou

There is a file called rcu in documents - 1C Softclub - il-2 sturmovic cliffs of dover.

Open it with notepad and add three more lines so it looks like this:

@set fast off
@set echo on
@set alias on
@set history 20

@alias a alias
@a h history
@a s show

@a aa fps SHOW START

@a ab fps HIDE STOP

aa

This will turn the fps line on. You can then turn the information off or on by typing ab or aa in the console command window.

Ok MD maybe code wasnt the right word, and yep ive flown sims since Amstrad and Sinclair days
