That's probably because you have created a profile for Cliffs of Dover before importing a the whole profile set with SLI Profile Tool. Search for 'Launcher.exe' in exported file and when you'll find your old profile delete it. Then import back the file and SLI should be working for you.

Yep got mixed up.

It looks like you no longer get your hit percentage when doing quick missions. I'm not sure about any other types of game play (it's been awhile since I've had time to do anything but quick missions).

Anyway - I loved seeing the hit percentage. Always tried to be more accurate than my last outing. Not sure if this is some form of bug, or an intentional change.

***never mind - when I installed the patch, for some reason all my realism settings turned off. Everything back to normal now . ***

This just annoys me! It is not a bug; it is just plain lazy programing.
The Fiat g.50 cannot turn off its engine on landing. Moreover, I am guessing the Fiat br.20 suffers the same problem.
How hard would it be to make this work? Maybe two or three lines of code at best.
This has been a problem since day one and for it to have never been fixed is an insult to Italians everywhere. Do the developers automatically assume anyone taking an Italian plane will never need to land and turn their engines off?
Seriously as this is the final release patch before all work is switched to BoM can this tiny yet insulting glitch be fixed?
Italians have the right to complete a mission and be able to sit in their cockpits, turn off their engines and cheer their aerial prowess.
Don't do it for me, do it for Italians everywhere

Just posted here as well incase they do not regard it as a bug

I don't want to argue with you about this bug/missing feature, it would be desirable, no question about that. But pls stop talking about programming (you and others), if you have obviously completely no idea how it works! It's impolite and really just nonsense! .....two or three line of code.... If it would be always that easy.....

Just two lines in controls.

Yes really, two to three lines, basically copied and paste from all the other code already done for the numerous other engines in the game.
And yes I do think it is that simple.
But you are right I know nothing about programming, if it is more complicated so be it. It should have worked out the box. I mean, a basic alpha tester should have picked up when I land the plane I cannot turn the engine off.
Thst is if it was ever flown by an alpha tester? They are about to abandon Cliff of Dover to put all their time and resorces into BoM. All I am asking is they fix an error that should have been fixed by now.
How hard can it be to have an engine actually turn off.
It has one of the most complicated start-up procedures in the game and then they simpily forget to add a little code to turn the engine off.
Make no mistake the game is 150% better now than it was at launch and I am almost tempted to pre-order BoM as soon as they announce it but not if they cannot complete an obvious error like this.
Can you imagine the Il-16 unable to turn it's engine off?????

Umm, mate, the amount of code it would take to have a Italian sitting the cockpit, cheering their aerial prowress, would be huge.
You do realise that you're not in a cockpit, but sitting on a chair in front of a computer.
I asked the Italian half of my family if they would be insulted if they couldn't turn off a computer plane's engine. They think I'm nuts. I tried to explain that I wanted to cheer my prowess, but they think I'm more nuts. I wear a headset, so I could just take them off if I wanted to cheer from my seat without being annoyed by a computer generated engine sound.

Every engine can be stopped (G.50 and Br.20 too) just switch off the magneto

AFAIK you must turn off the fuel cock. That's the way I stop the engines on every plane of CloD.

Cheers!
