Not sure what you mean Osprey. The Trim wheel in the 109 is moving when I activate pitch trim. The Digital scale just below it that shows Stab position is responding to elevator Trim input.

I see what you mean, my misunderstanding, I thought there was some output you were privvy to. Cheers bud.

That's the old version.

All you have to do is use Steam to bring yourself up to date (verify game cache). Then unpack the .rar. You will have parts and Paintschemes directories, just drop these into steam..../common/il2 (over the top of the folders there with the same name). MERGE the directories and REPLACE the files when windows asks you about overwrites.



....and check your PM

ok, uploaded the latest version and copied it over V-20111, noted correct version number when starting. Now I'm mainly looking at the SLI improvements, as very few offline bugs were mentioned.

Here's my NVidia profile code which I added using Geeks3D SLI tool

....
Profile "./helicopter/helicopter"
    ShowOn GeForce
    ProfileType Application
    Executable "./helicopter/helicopter.exe"
    Setting ID_0x701eb457 = 0x2241ab21 InternalSettingFlag=V0
    Setting ID_0x708db8c5 = 0x23de0cba InternalSettingFlag=V0
    Setting ID_0x709a1ddf = 0x4b1cd96b InternalSettingFlag=V0
EndProfile

Profile "Il2: Cliffs of Dover"
    ShowOn GeForce
    ProfileType Application
    Executable "./Games Non-Steam And Testing/IL2COD_20332/il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover/Launcher.exe"
    Setting ID_0x00a06946 = 0x000240f5
    Setting ID_0x1033cec1 = 0x00000001
    Setting ID_0x1033cec2 = 0x00000002
    Setting ID_0x1033dcd2 = 0x00000004
    Setting ID_0x1033dcd3 = 0x00000004
    Setting ID_0x1095def8 = 0x00000004
EndProfile

Profile "007: Quantum of Solace"
    ShowOn GeForce
    ProfileType Application
    Executable "jb_sp_s.exe"
    Setting ID_0x1033cec1 = 0x00000003
    Setting ID_0x1033dcd2 = 0x00000004
    Setting ID_0x1095def8 = 0x00400005
EndProfile
...

The patch list doesn't mention the hit-flashes on enemy aircraft, that were a great - and realistic- feature until few patches ago. Can someone confirm that we are still blind about effectiveness and accuracy of our air gunnery? For an air combat sim I find this is a pretty big miss.

Since the graphic performances are improving I hope that there are no more hurdles to bring back this indispensable fx quickly.

Ilya?

I saw hit flashes in RC1 but they are toned down a lot. I saw them when I was close to the e/a.

I agree that devs have to bring them back in full,that was amazing effect.

Taking off with grass sprites and dust sprites still kills performance to single digits ! ??????? maybe 1C should talk to Creative Assembly (CA) of Totalwar fame, from memory, they had to rewrite low level graphics functionality to get the performance they required for many high res soldiers on the screen at once.

Thanks again for extra patch
