There appears to be a pattern to which planes are affected, with flight 1 being ok, flight 2 all default skins and 3rd flight 2 planes showing correct skin, other 2 showing default skin

This is in offline mode both in single mission and campaign modes with missions that worked perfectly in 1.05.

Possibly related to the reported lack of display of selected skins in plane options- fmb preview seems to work after hiding/ re viewing 3d preview?.


Anyone else seeing this?


For what it's worth, rig specs:- 920@4.0, gtx580 1.5gb, win 7 pro 64 bit, 6gb ram.

Don't think it has any bearing on the patch mate,I have never seen anymore than 4 out of the 12 skins that I have applied to my 'mission editor' Squadron.The rest just show up as Default skins.It's been like this from day one for me.

Of course If anyone out there can fault me,please let me know,if there is an answer to this I would love to know,maybe I'm missing something here.

bug report (just in case somebody at 1c actually reads this and is paying attention)

the new prop spin visual effect is ugly, unrealistic, prevents normal vision (worsened in certain sunlight directions) and gives me a headache (literally) after just a couple of minutes of play.

the only "opinion" on this that matters is from those that have spent time in small prop planes and now what SIMULATING it should look like (no, movies dont count because the camera alters what is captured and then displayed)

visually the new current prop visual effect has a strobe like lighting effect which is very unpleasant to look at, and significantly distracts from how clearly you should be able to look at objects directly in front of you. if anything in a modern game will pose an epilepsy danger for the few whom are prone to it, this one surely will. imho also looks like nothing that i have seen in real life in small prop planes.

from my experience in small prop planes in real life, at high rpm the prop spin should just cause a small mild amount of blurring (at the edge of the prop partic), and and under most conditions be barely visible. instead right now we have this massive strobe like flashing thing in front of us which blurs significantly what you can see, and makes it a very significant distraction. to me it is unpleasant, ugly and visually irritating to look at

in the later versions of the previous il2 series, and in the current DCS p51 for ex, this prop spin visual effect was pretty good, mildly visible but not distracting or unpleasant. imo if ever there was going to be an epilepsy trigger concern in those that are prone to it, this current visual effect would be a perfect candidate

specs: intel i5 @ 3.6 (dual core), 8 gb 1600 ram, ati 5770 (1 gb), win7 64 bit

Just for the sake of completeness, link to the prop thread to get more opinions on the matter: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=32234

I'm still not convinced either way, some people say it's overdone, some say it's actually worse in a real plane.

I don't consider this a bug though. It's a mater of personal taste. Maybe an option to choose between prop representations would be in order.

Its possible that there a bug behind the issue, screenshots :




is the texture of the prop effect pixelated due to a over scale issue ?

If so that could explain why the effect is overdone ...

I don't know if any of you have witnessed this,but when you use the Hurricane on 'Quick Missions'/Cross Country there are problems that were'nt there before,I'm sure.

Firstly you'll notice the skin on the aircraft does'nt appear until some time into the mission,mine appeared just as I took off,prior to this you have a grey blank of a skin.

Secondly and more importantly,you start off as always in the Cross Country mission on the deck and ready to take off.However there is now a bug where as you enter the mission the engine is allready working and the propeller is going round,well just finishing actually as if you've just switched off.

Unless you immidiatley switch on you're rad,the engine will perforate your water rad........this is with the throttle at it's minimum too

I'm not sure what'll happen if you choose any other aircraft for this,but this can't be right,and I'm pretty sure it was ok prior to the patch,please tell me if I'm wrong.

I totally re-installed COF after having major problems, (now I think not connected to patch) however, with the new patch and core fix, i get the red triangle on start up, the game is running much slower and then crashes after about 1 minute of gameplay, citing 'core.dll' as the issue...

[radman2012]

decided to go back to earlier version, verified files, etc, now core dll issue, and CTD, plan to delete full game and re-install to earlier version.

Yes, exactly the same issue with the Spitfire 1a too.

I have exactly the same problem - oil temp starts on about 85 and the radiator 115. It's pretty frustrating (especially since i've spent ages trying to perfect take off on realistic mode so I can stand a change in the multiplayer world.. Bit of a shame now).

Gonna uninstall and re reinstall with older patch I thinks. Glad somebody else is having this problem anyway!
