What I'm concluding from this is that your files may be corrupted. Eventually. Please do a full integrity check:

1) In your steam games library right-click on "IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover" and select "properties"
2) In the window click on the "local files" tab
3) choose "verify integrity of the game cache..."

Let it complete and hope it finds and fixes the error.

As for the control issues, try disabling the steam cloud temporarily:
1) In your steam games library right-click on "IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover" and select "properties"
2) In the window click on the "updates" tab
3) Uncheck "enable steam cloud synchronization for il-2 sturmovik: cliffs of dover"
4) Start the game, try changing the settings and play. If it works (let's hope it does) Exit, turn steam cloud on again using the same way as described above.

Thanks Maddfish ( & others...) I must have gotten this too ,since my animated logo reappeared at the beginning of the sim ( say where is this located - I've forgotten & I might want to remove it again...?????

This might just be my imagination but my install seemed to run a bit smoother after this...I immediately started getting improved percentages of hits in smoother ( more FPS?) gameplay...again this might just have been my imagination...

S!

To remove that 8Mb spinning logo go to X:\Steam\steamapps\common\IL2\parts\core\GUI\ and delete it I saw the update downloading after starting and going to Library and IL-2. I wonder what it did..

Rextar, you should have two SFS files in the 'Parts' folder (and a few others in other folders) with yesterdays date (or todays). Some more info earlier in the thread regards checking you have it, I'm in the UK and had the DL last night.

It's not our imaginaton. Tha game runs much more fluid now, even with higher graphics settings, even SSAO!

It's not just placebo effect!

Just deleted cache, fired up CoD. To my Mark 1 eyeball I seem to be achieving smoother play with somewhat higher frame rates and less micro stuttering. More significantly for me, since going SLI I was getting a lot of water flickering over the channel which has now stopped completely (pending further test flying) from both within cockpit views and external. As Martha Stewart would say, "This is a good thing."

Is it ok to delete cache?

[burlaff]

you only delete the contents of the folder, not the actual folder itself. The idea is that then the the game rebuilds the Cache and something great happens apparently.

S!

Do not delete the folder but it's contents and you are safe.
