Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs Of Dover Retail Patch v 1.01.14550

[Rattlehead]

To follow up on my previous post:

I've tried every AA setting under the sun - it does not work, period. (In my instance.)

Can confirm clouds flicker when you fly through them.

Can confirm default screenshot key no longer works. I have not tried another key yet.

On the other hand, I like the new prop pitch method in the 109. It just takes some getting used to.

Redefine in controls the screenshot key to F12, for example, and it will work again.

The default key "screen print" no longer is valid.

Is me or SSAO is less frame killer now ?

Thanks Buchon.

I still get massive fps loss when over industrial areas.

F.e. in the channel free flight in the 109, I fly low over the town, when being around over the middle of the town, I pause the game. Then I`m panning the view. Looking into the direction of the industrail area, the fps halves.

Settings are medium to high, fullscreen 1980*1080

system:

i7 2600k @ 4,5 GHz
Asus GTX570
Asus P8P67
8 GB RAM
SB Audigy Gamer
64 GB SuperTalent SSD
Samsung F3 1 TB
BeQuiet E8-700 W
Thermalright Archon
W7 64 Pro

Do you have SSAO OFF?
Do you have the Epilepsy Filter OFF?

Your system should run the sim very well.. Your VCard has 1.25 G iof VRAM on it... try lowering the building detail to medium.. If buildings are set to unlimited try HIGH. You should be able to find a sweet spot at very good settings where the game is fluid..

You need to remember that the cities are insanely details..at the highest settings you need the highest hardware.. I have a single 6970 Card and it has 2 Gig VRAM which runs the game great.. there are a couple of driver related graphics things..but its smooth as silk even over London.

Here is what I would suggest..

Pick a quick mission, use that as your test mission. Enter the mission and immediately hit SHIFT/TAB and type fps START SHOW then hit enter and then SHIFT/TAB again to close the console. You will see a baseline fps number.

Exit the mission and go into Video Settings and try lowering a SINGLE setting. Go back and rerun mission See if it had any effect.. not only on fps but how it looks.. You will find that some things on LOW use as much fps as when they are on HIGH..so might as well use HIGH. Other things on Medium look the same as HIGH and save you lots of fps.. Tweak one thing at a time and see what is best for your setup.

When the Original IL2 came out I bought a new Rig for it.. over Cities the game was unplayable.. slideshow.. everywhere else it was fine.. this game is similar because its a matter of how many triangles you need to create and texture.. those cities are detailed enough for a first person shooter let alone a flight sim.. The good thing is I got a new system this time and I can run HIGH settings over London fluidly..

For me the patch runs good. Everything fine but i exoerience 1 major gamebreaking issue now. Sound starts to stutter and disapperar seemingly every single flight after a while.
Anyone a clus how to fix that?

I have a Soundblaster XFI titanium.

Tahnks!
