Friday October 12 - Release Candidate 2

Salute

If the speeds of the RAF aircraft are back, then we need to see the 109 get its speed tweaked to the correct levels.

Which should be approx. 300mph/480 kph at sea level, 357 mph/572 kph at critical alt, both at 1.35 ata boost levels.

Probably better in a bug thread:109 Nose trim wheel no longer rotates , but trim does ...

+1 to that,...the 109 at sealevel now reaches 470kph only at 1,45ata...
i dont know as i dont fly the RAF planes,...but from what i heard of my fellow RAF squad mates, the "red" side seems to be much closer to RL specs?

online at least, one definitely feels that the RAF is now competitive again.now im going to shoot spits again on rebka as well

No matter wich side it does.

The mirror argument as justification is a bit specious, but I've heard it straight from a Battle of Britain pilot that they used to open the canopy for better view, specifically heard from a Hurricane pilot.

I'm don't know if they'd dog fight like that (probably not) but they definitely opened it for better view.

I'm glad they've added drag to the action though. That definitely should be in there.

I'll probably continue to fly a Hurricane with the hood open as I'm heading out to battle so I can get a better look around and then close it when I get into a fight. I wouldn't consider that cheating. In fact, I consider it a pretty good representation of history if game behaviour is organically modelling the real life behaviour of the pilots involved.

Seems with the Me109 3 you can shoot down a Blenheim without exhausting all ammo, which is nice. Patch is fine EXCEPT the persistent prop flicker, still present.

109 is still extremely competitive against spit; faster in climb, level speed etc but it has become a LOT more fun now.

I can't wait to start flying blue again now! Finally some opponents to fight. Hurricane does not turn good enough though, real shame.

Ask your BoB pilot if he could hear a fighter 700 yards behind/below him

It's not opening the canopy that's cheating, it's the abuse of the sound radar.

1) Download a profiler utility, for example
http://nvworld.ru/utilities/sliprofiletool/

2) Export SLI profiles to a file

3) Manually edit the file by adding the following lines

Profile "Il2: Cliffs of Dover"
    ShowOn GeForce
    ProfileType Application
    Executable " il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover/Launcher.exe"
    Setting ID_0x00a06946 = 0x000240f5
    Setting ID_0x1033cec1 = 0x00000001
    Setting ID_0x1033cec2 = 0x00000002
    Setting ID_0x1033dcd2 = 0x00000004
    Setting ID_0x1033dcd3 = 0x00000004
    Setting ID_0x1095def8 = 0x00000004
EndProfile

4) Re-import the file

5) Fly!

IMPORTANT: Please note that
Executable " il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover/Launcher.exe"
must point to the actual location of the game’s executable. If you have installed the game to a different folder, please edit the line accordingly.

If anyone still can't get this to work
Change this line in step 3 from
Executable " il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover/Launcher.exe"
To
Executable "Launcher.exe"

SLI finally.....profile still needs so tweaking but it'll only get better from here on

This is interesting... since when did oil leaks cease to function?

I remember getting oil failures all the time? A certain aircraft was it?

The Spit is now the Überplane again! It climbs almost that good as the BF, turns better and dives faster or even with the 109! Almost no chance to escape in a fight!

Don't talk bad about this great new patch. Go and learn how to fly the airplane.Thx to luthier and team for this awesome work.
