Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover Roadmap

6GB of 2000MHz Ripjaws,
AMD Sapphire 5970,
256GB A-RAM SSD,
Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate

Lets go thru some of your comments:


1. Well that is interesting, for even if I have terrain turned to LOW I still cannot get playable framerates.

Many players have very playable fps as we speak...Your problem, for the moment is your 5970...Since SLI/Xfire give worse performances than a single GPU, your results are not representative of what COD can do now.
Those who have SLI configurations had very poor fps...After running the game on a single GPU, their fps doubled...

2. So I can expect my framerate of 9FPS to go to 18FPS, is that an acceptable increase? What sort of multicore support are we talking here? Surely you are adding support for no less then 4 cores considering every man and his dog has at least a average quad core running their system.


Read # 1 ...On a single GPU, the average fps reported on many forums are around 25 fps...Double that and we talk about 50 fps....And yes, quad core is what you can get for $250.00 now...That is if you want top performances for a 2011 game with 50 planes in the sky...

4.What about rounds that don't appear to leave at all? I can hear the audible sounds of bullets firing, but there are no visible effects that indicate that you have actually fired your weapons.

Unless you selected a ammo belt with every rounds as tracers , you would get , as an exemple, 1 tracer for every 5 rounds..So it is normal to hear shots without seeing each ot them...

5. This is my biggest bugbear. Is it simply SLi support or are you also concentrating your efforts on Crossfire support also? In addition, where is the native support for multi-monitors? More and more people are playing with multiple monitors, yet programmers and developers (such as yourselves) aren't including native support for multiple monitors. This game looks absolutely terrible with multiple monitors, with the cockpit being all blown up and enlarged. It would be great if we could see multi-monitor support included by the developers rather then the likes of individuals and groups such as the Widescreen Gaming Forum. It's funny, my 5970 will chew through Crysis pretty well with 3 monitors, yet it cannot handle Cliffs of Dover, struggling to achieve 9FPS with all setting on either medium or low.


Read the above...It will be fixed...


Salute !

At first thank you for the fast patch and the hard work you and the team are investing in this game.
Its nice to see, you hear the community and try to please us with the changes you are goning to made.

I've got no problems to lower my graphics to run the game in a smooth and lookable way. Also the center spring bug from my G940 is not a problem.

But I think, I need a little statement about Force Feedback.

It is really dissapionting for many people (including me) to see (and feel) you didn't include Force Feedback in CloD.
It's a feature which not only raises the immersion and the feeling, it gives you a really good feedback, what your machine is going to do in the next moments.
It's something a flight simulator needs to have in 2011.

In my case, I bought the G940 ONLY because of FFB and CloD (after I've had heared FFB will be implemented)

Some rumors appear in the forums that you will not add FFB in the near future or that you are going to never add it into CloD.

But when it was never planned to include FFB, why we got the line "FF=1" in our conf.ini - or does it mean something else??

CloD has the potential to grow up to the best WW2 - flight simulator ever, but never without FFB.

Please, give us an official statement about the future of CloD.


Thanks a lot

This question is already answered. FFB will be added in CloD, but this is not main problem. Right now devs solving perfomance issue and fixing bugs. So yes, we will not see FFB support in Clod in near future (at least in 1-3 month).

how can you answer questions like that? are you a member of dev team? Why people that don't have a clue of what they are talking about don't stop post like they are the devs?

This is answer from Luthier, not from me. I read his answer on russian forum, but a think he answered here too. Devs have FFB in "must do" list, but not in first lines. I do not post like devs, english is not my native language, so i post just haw i can, sorry

Translate most imoprtant parts: "Dont have ETA for FFB implementation... Today we have more important problems, so we can not add this feature right now"

I have been playing IL2 since its first release and have enjoyed it immensely. And I am happy to accept that there are are other Maddox games that are also excellent. So you 'obvious' conclusion is completely wrong.

My conclusion was not obvious.....i said clearly you are no fan......but I have to admit defeat on this one, I guess we really can't forgive a single mistake, so I am now converted to the dark side of hatred, these people make a ton of money from the simmers market after all, they have to pay those gazillion programmers somehow, so yes I agree completely, shame on them! how dare they! it's been 5 days now and this software is just useless, 5 whole days of our lives have been wasted can you believe it, I could have spent that money on crack to get my quick fix, god I hate my life, I have played simulators for years now and all I get in thanks is 5 days worth of a buggy new release, I feel an overwhelming need to write an insulting post in the forums just so them and everybody knows how much pain it has caused me.

Thx for your hard work devs, CoD will really be an incredible sim.
Terrific.
