Klem, I've gotta agree with you on using the Tracker. You can hide the sun glare behind the canopy bracing by moving your head, or look away from it.

The Tracker is one of the best and most important tools ever made for computer flying. After using it for several years in it's various build stages, I don't see how anyone can fly on their computer without it. It make pc flight all the more real.

Question for you CoD gurus... So I have CoD on two computers, don't ask :), I downloaded the patch and it installed just fine on comp 1 (about a week ago). I'm now installing on comp 2 and the zip file only contains .ogg files (I remember that on comp 1 the zip contained a number of sub folders.) is it possible that tge download has changed? Or have I missed somthing painfully obvious?
Thanks dudes

Full file contains /Paint Schemes/ folder, /parts/ folder, 09062011 Beta Readme.txt and Launcher.exe.config

The .ogg files are sound files, usually in the /Actor../ folders under /parts/speech.de/ and /parts/speech/gb/ folders

Sounds (no pun) like you only have the /parts/speech/... folder(s) there.

1. Did you download a Part download (I haven't checked if there is one).
or
2. Can you copy the original file across your Home network?
or
3. Can you burn it to a DVD?

I also notice that the on-ground stutterings are back ...

were absent before beta-patch

system:
vista 64
nvidia GTX 275
quadcore i7
6 GB RAM

1. No, at least not that I'm aware of (I used the US direct download link in the first post of this thread)
2. Not sure (I'm terrible with computers)
3. Not sure (see answer 2 :))

I followed the same steps for both computers, so I'm thourghly confused. I wonder if the link could be bad? I tried the torrent as well (same result). Could it be the way I'm "unzipping" the files? (7-zip on comp 1, winzip on comp 2)?
Anyway, thanks for the reply

Well, certainly this is the link of you use Torrent
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JLF4FU6J

and this is the straightforward one for normal downloading
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MA26GNU1

both from the original post. The file is about 500Mb.

Holly Cow, i just tried the beta patch and all i can say is its about time. The sounds are perfect and clean and the landscape is perfect. I had a wingman do a vectory roll over the airfield after i landed, we had just took out about 20 stuka, the time was 19.00 hours and clear the lightning on the terrain looked real, the sounds where awsome i swear i smelled 100 octain and oil. Was that vectory roll programed in the game? anyway i have not played on line yet but i sure cannot stay away from the single player. Thanks:grin:

corrupted beta download?
 

Running Win7
I have downloaded BOTH the English torrent and the standard megaupload beta patch. Both downloaded 512mb files. Upon extraction to my steam CoD folder I get this with BOTH files:

! C:\~\IL2COD_15527.rar: CRC failed in parts\bob\bob_update04.SFS. The file is corrupt

The file continues to extract despite the error.

When I extracted the standard download, the game would load but I couldn't click anything.
When I extracted the torrent download, the game no longer starts.

what you used to extract the files? I have winrar 4.01 and everything is ok.

I hope I have the right place to ask this question & get a reply:
I have been out of the country & away from my computer for a better part of a month ,and so have missed all of the discussion about this beta & its install. I'm sure there is a way to correctly install-which folder do I put contents of patch into? Thanks!
