4.11 General debugging

SPAD-1949,

I messed around a little with your mission...trying to implement some of your needs. Feel free to try it out. (I set the takeoff delay to 4 minutes, which you can obviously change.)

Oh, I see you did not get my point.
Its not much about the feeling of starting a mission out of the Pit if you are allready at the Runway.
I rearranged evrything new to show what I meant about the atmosphere.
Unfortunately I was not allowed to safe it after I wrote a mission briefing, out of nowhere and not set by me nor appearing in the .mis text a "chief 10" with only one waypoint appeared in the safe dialogue window.

So I advise you, if the truck in front of you gave way, to look right and watch them comomg down then taxi ahead and wait in front of the B17 on the left side until the A20 passed in front of you. then head west to join your flight.
Personally I would appreciate, if a delay is set, that the engines are started a miute before the takeoff run or that they are started when the AC is set and run all the time until takeof. It looks crappy if they startup and immediately push full throttle.

Not really a bug, just an ancient mesh and skin-mapping. You can blot out the instruments on the skin as you're unlikely to see them in outside-view from behind the aircraft.

I just realized the Do335 keeps overheating even at level flight and 600km/h.
Intended?

Rear engine should be hot, front one not so much. Have you tried flying with say 100% front, 90% rear on a not-so-hot map?

[swiss]

no.
it might try it.
I rarely fly it tho - plus, those are "free" severs...

First post on the site, having trouble with the patch.

My game does not seem to want to upgrade from Version 4.10.1m,

Perhaps this is because the files I have are broken or something like that, either way, heres the files and where I got them. I have IL-2 1946 boxed copy with the bonus DVD. I don't know the version it starts at or which version I have, that is if English and International are different.

From my base install I go

-4.09m from Mission4today, a 500mb plus zipped file with an .exe named 4.09m
then
-IL-2_MegaPatch4.10.1m_EN, from mission4today. 1GB plus file with an exe named RunMe
then
-4.11 downloaded from mission4today using the megaupload mirror
and
-4.11.1 using this site.

Have tried multiple approaches, run as administrator, basically everything.
Running Win7 Home Premium 64bit

Hope I've provided enough info!
Thanks!

Is you game located in C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86)?

If yes copy it to somewhere else and patch again there.

Hi Sledgehammer,

Was your game working at 4.10.1 ? If so then it is most likely you have a corrupted download of the 4.11 patch, so try to download it again.

However, you said that you first installed the 4.09 patch. If I remember correctly the DVD boxed version starts at 4.07, and if you have missed the 4.08 patch then that is where your problem lies.
I believe the 4.08 patch is included on the 1946 DVD, but you have to install it over your base installed 4.07.

Your current version can be seen in the bottom left corner of the loading screen when you start the game. The international version is the same as the English version, the alternative being the Russian version.

All the patches must be installed in order.
After installing a patch run the game and check the version number has changed on the loading screen.
If the game is working okay (it would be a good idea to make a backup copy at that point so you don't need to go right back to the beginning if something goes wrong later) then install the next patch, check, test, backup,etc,etc.

As II/JG54_Emil says, it would be a good idea to install the game somewhere other than Program Files. It stops the UAC in Windows 7 from causing problems.

Hope that has been of some help.
