4.12.2 de-bugging

I always make sure AAA is on in QMB but what you said is intereting and I'll check it out this afternoon. You may be right. I really don't know what I must do about this problem about Dgen's AAA in my game. My brother is playing right now a Dgen campaign and AAA is shooting at him but when I try another campaign nothing happens. I'm starting to think my game acts like a princess, sometimes it wants to work fine, sometimes it doesn't.

Do you think I should reinstall it?

I'm back...again.

I have tried a dgen campaign on an MTO map and the AAA shoot but when I try a PTO campaign or an east front campaign, AAAs don't shoot me.

About QMB : I have tried to attack the same airfield on solomon map with AAA "on" and nothing hapenned. Then I have tried the same mission on smolensk map and AAAs shot me. Finally when I go back to solomon map, AAAs shoot me. There is no way I can explain it.

I cannot reproduce it. Whenever I attack an airfield from QMB on Solomons (Oct.1943), AAA is firing at me.

I have completely reinstalled IL-2 und patched it up to 4.12 and saved a copy of 4.11.1 and the same problem occurs. Personnaly, I repeat the same process :

start IL-2 -> go on QMB -> chose a ground attack mission on a random map -> check if AAA is "on" -> fly the mission -> AAAs don't fire -> bang head on desk -> chose another map -> fly the mission -> AAAs work -> chose the map used before -> fly -> AAAs work fine -> Then create a dynamic ground attack campaign for PTO, ETO, eastern front, MTO -> fly -> AAAs don't work -> try different campaigns with axis and allies for attack planes -> give up -> close game-> restart game -> repeat the process -> go back to TD forum to see if anyone else have the same problem or if they can help me...

I haven't tried fighter campaigns yet and I'm gonna do it to see if they work fine. I'm going to report in a hour at most. If AAAs still don't work it means I'll be forced to stick to 4.11.1

I'm back,

I have flown 14 dgen campaigns and I found that only german and some japanese campaigns have working AAAs. US, finnish, russian, hungarian and Aussi campaigns didn't have working AAAs. Furthermore, when I started IL-2, I have used immediatly QMB and chosen "none" for the mission type on a random map(in this case it was bessarabia) and AAAs worked fine. Then I chosed "attack airfield" on the same map and everything worked fine again.

The 4.12 file I downloaded may have been corrupted or is damaged. I'm going to download it again, copy my backup 4.11.1, install 4.12 and see what happens next.

Moin comrades,

since 4.12 patch the onboard map is cut at the top.
The letters invisible. The numbers at right looks like correct.
Any idea what happened and what can I do that the letters appears?

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, a couple of things I have noticed in4.12;
1, On takeoff AI 'planes exhibit a "nodding" motion (i.e. nose pitches up and then down) until the flaps are retracted, after this the "nodding" stops.
2, Where the default formation for a particular type of 'plane is "right echelon" and multiple flights are chained together, the 1st. aircraft in the 2nd. flight collides with the 4th. of the1st. flight.( In one mission that I built sometime ago in FMB out of 8 'planes in the group only 2 survived the journey to the target).
Changing the formation to "left echelon" cured the problem, but it seems to me that the default spacing between flight leaders is too small.

Thats usually due to non standard resolution.

Its shoved upward. Just click and hold left + right mouse buttons on the maps frame and pull it whereever you want to.
