Bad plane textures

Same here, no bad textures on planes, even with lowest texture setting, nvidia, too.

Hmm, that's weird

Maybe i need to go ahead and do the "backup contols and get the new config files" routine, i've been postponing that and it might have some effect.

It solved a lot of strange textures etc for me, pain in the arse as I had to redo controls but worth it in the long run, IMO.

Hi How do you go about getting new config files? Cheers

not really been following this thread since my last comments. but anyway. there seems to be a related bug that gives the impression that the texture qualities are changing. lately on full max settings ive been seeing dodgy plane textures. but as i say theres a bug in there causing this. possibly a memory related thing.

go to your

C:\Users\yourname\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover

folder and delete all the config files, they will restore themselves but you will loose all settings that you have changed. It also doesn not hurt to go into the "cache" folder and delete all files in there (but not the folder "shaders"!).

I saw this too before we got the option to downgrade texture quality, it seemed like there was not enough video RAM to load everything at once and it was loading partially in stages: first a blurry texture, then a slightly better one and so on.

This was more noticeable on the more complex twin engined cockpits.

Since the patch that added the option to downgrade texture quality i haven't been getting this at all in single seaters, probably there's enough VRAM available to load the cockpits in one go now that i've downgraded the landscape textures .
I still get an initial occurrence of it the first time i spawn into a bomber, but then it's probably cached and it's ok for the remainder of missions i fly on the same aircraft.
