fps in forward cockpit view was very low compared to shifting your gaze away from the dials. The needle movement was over exaggerated even if flying straight and level with mid power setting but damping the movement may have been partly to reduce processing and increase fps, not sure but it is better on both counts. Gets the thumbs up from me as a pit flyer......

dual cores are still suffering badly from my friends account but his fps is slightly better but not enough to actually play the game sadly

The performace are greatly improved but i noticed a strange rendering of the grass in the first mission of the Britain Campaign.

Someone else? Looks like the grass is rendered only some meters away of the plane and not near it like before

Patch is working flawlessly for me. I'll be doing a lot of stutter-free sightseeing this weekend on my 2 1/2 year old PC at 1920x1200

Damn, seems I am the only one who cannot apply the patch. Can you tell me what I do wrong?

I put the IL2COD_14072.rar-file into the il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover folder under Steam and then I right-click on the file and say "extract files".

Then I get 22 error messages saying "cannot delete output file" (with a specification of the file).

And the sim isn't updated....

Freycinet, I used 7-Zip, extracted the two folders then dropped them into the correct locations (where the ones that need to be changed are stored). Windows overwrites the existing files that need to be replaced and leaves any others untouched.

Try to extract it somewhere else, then copy the files over with explorer. You should be asked whether you want to replace the files. Are you running an admin account?

Dont place the file in the games root folder, extract it to the desktop and drag it over, then agree to replace any files that it asks.

In addition, folks that still have the previous mods installed to improve performance and trying to use them with the new patch you really need to remove all traces before applying the patch. Having the new in game texture manger reducing textures quality with reduced resolution and no mip maps could create all sorts of problems and artefacts'. What's more, you risk a VAC ban now if you attempt to play online, this permanently ban's you from playing any steam game online on your account.

I wouldn't be surprised too if some of the ctds and performance decreases are a result of conflicts with the custom .dll installed as part of the mod, this was written for a system that did not offer functions to remove ssao internally and a completely different texture management system.
