There have been some changes to the key mapping.

In FMB if you go to Configure/Control Keys on the menu and Reset to defaults, then you can move the pointer by holding F4 and using the RMB. I had to manually change a few keys to get back to the way I like it.

Have you try with il2fb.exe 512 MB?

I did not. Is it the option available during the installation? I didn't notice it.

I had no problem with the AleXserver, the two other servers that have updated to 4.14 have never let me join so I don't bother.

Two other servers probably want you to input the password. It should be explained somewhere on their site: http://il2.com.ru/en/links.php

from readme
The update includes additional standardized files il2fb.exe. They are located in the "EXE" subfolder of the games root directory. The files differ in the parameters of the use of RAM by the Java gaming machine, support for console mode, and support for mods. For versions of the il2fb.exe files that support mods, the file includes a wrapper.dll file. If any non-standard executable files are detected in the root folder of the game, the game will not start. Mods are supported by the generally accepted way of reading the content of the "MODS" subfolder. The mods themselves must be compatible and adapted to version 4.14 of the patch. The only limitation when using versions of il2fb.exe files with mods support is that when connecting in a network game to a dedicated server (Dedicated Server) the host and client versions must be identical.

Thanks for the hint. I did not care about this EXE subfolder since my 4.13.4 has never been modded. But I tried anyway all il2fb.exe files in Client_MODS and Client_RU. They don't start. No idea what does that mean for me...

Try this,copy what worked and put in a folder outside root directory then select 512 from exe folder and paste it over current exe. Send the new one to desktop as short cut exit out and try it out.

Thank you for your advise.
512 exe works fine to start the game offline. But it does not help in connecting to the servers. Same error message.

I'll probably make separate clean instal from Platinum DVD plus all subsequent updates and see what happens.
Or not to waste time and just wait for 4.14.1... Who knows what kind of new "surprises" new version will bring.

I was in a mission and noticed when i was shooting i didnt need to change drums anymore. can some one else test to confirm?

[stugumby]

Did the server you were trying to join use the exact same exe as you? That is mentioned in the read me as well.

stugumby-

tested in 4.14 and 4.13.4

- the R5 does not change drums in either version.
- the U2-VS stops to change drums in both versions.
