Are you not bored typing fps SHOW START every time?

I realised we have many new members who are not able to sing the two pages of conf.ini by heart (shame!) so you may find this of use:

In the same directory as the conf.ini (the famous MyDocuments/ etc etc...)
Find the file RCU
Open it with the text editor
at the bottom add following lines of text:


@a aa fps SHOW START

@a ab fps HIDE STOP

aa



save and close

From now on, if during the game you decide to start the fps display, press Shift-TAB, type aa press enter, exit with Shift-TAB. The fps measurement will appear on your screen. (of course, if you have a Console Information Window open, you can type the commands there)
To remove it, repeat the procedure typing ab
The last line aa in the RCU file spares you from all the work, with it every time you start the game you have thefps measurement displayed automaticaly (you can remove it of course if you do not want this).


Since I have this strange feeling that we will spend the next months talking fps, it may prove a little handy


Happy Flying (ehem, Testing...)

Once and for all, may I ask you a couple tech questions?

due to my poor english and the fact I didn't have much time to read this huge amount of topics, I still have a little confusion

1 . how do I force my pc and game to use DX10?
2 . I detached mi conf from the Steam cloud, but WICH conf.INI should I modify? The one in game folder, or the other one in mydocuments/1csoftclub/etc/etc?
3 . wich affinitymask value is correct for a Intel Q9550 quadcore CPU?

thank you very much, if you help me I may get a little better and enjoy this future masterpiece.

For sure the right one is in mydocuments. I tested personally.
Remember to add Antiepilepsy=0 line

antiepilepsy option isnt working when checked/unchecked in GUI? Why we have two versions of the game on disk? Changing conf.ini located in user/documents affects config.ini located in steam?

[pupaxx]

I'm not at home now, may be wrong but I can adfirm my game version has 2 config files, one in steam dir and another in docs directory.
Following the tuning advices on 1cforum I firstly acted on config file in steam directory with no results (Affinity mask & Anty epi).
Then I changed the doc's config in two separately steps. First I changed AMask resulting in a successfully attempt; then I looked for antyepy line to edit but in my doc's config was completely missing! So I had to manually adding the line (I don't know why missing). In this attempt I realize that ( as some guy suggested) the correct line to add is Antyepilepcy=0 and not Epilepcyfilter=0. I suppose the switch on GUI operate correctly on the latter, correctly because effectively the command value change from 1 (active) to 0 (disabled) but the command string itself doesn't works!
The right is Antiepilepsy=0
Now, I'm not at home may be in what I remember I may have reversed (confusing) Antiepilepsy with Epilepsyfilter but, take what i'm saying with this incertitude. The juice of my speech is this, I'll check later.

some (Intel) have better results with 14 for a quad core

the ae line should already be insitu

Steam Cloud doesn't seem to modify the config.ini in the docs folder... it also doesn't seem to use the config. ini in the steam folder either. Using Steam Cloud connected and loading a saved controls set, looks in the docs folder for saved controls config

I know this is probably a lot to ask for, but would anyone be willing to post what the things in the config file mean and how changing especially the graphics values will affect the game?
I think I do recognise some things in there from IL2 1946 but some things and their values are a complete mistery to me.

And if I change the config file should I also disable steam cloud for the game?

Thanks in advance for any help with this
