Friday October 12 - Release Candidate 2

[Al Capwn]

Thank you so much for the new update, ClOD is really starting to become the sim it was always meant to be.

However I have to +1 this comment.

there has previously been in this forum extensive feedback from real pilots and people with many hrs of 1e hand experience in flying small prop planes under various lighting and weather conditions, and the current heavy flickering and blurring effect in CoD is most unrealistic. the prop should be just about invisible under most lighting conditions under high rev's, and only occasionally be faintly visible under certain lighting conditions...

I feel as though these changes (purely my opinion) were made to reflect how a propeller would appear on a video camera recording. You need to keep in mind that cameras have exposure time and generally low fps (usually 30 or less) and these kind of high speed effects will appear strange on video (similar as to why tracers come up as 'lasers'). As such I think the propeller effects should be reverted to the way they functioned previously.

But again, thank you for the great fixes in the past few updates!

Thanks very much for the torrent link Dano, decent speed too. I couldn't get the other links to work at all, apart from CaptDoggles (it was only running 3kbs a sec for me but cheers anyway mate also). I'll give this a spin later through the weekend, and will seed too.

Well not every pilot flying with canopy open can hear the engines behind him.

I think your angle of approach (as a 109 driver) has a bunch to do with it as well. I can usually sneak up from below and behind without them hearing me. I also wouldn't count every time a red player turns when you are behind them a case of sound radar either.

I know I'm constantly scanning while I fly, including my 6. And it probably drives my wingman crazy. In a spitty, it's really easy to see behind you. You don't really need to go off course to do it either.

So just consider not every case is going to be from sound. Either way, I don't consider anything that's part of the game cheating. I loved the mirror in old IL2. So I can only imagine how bad it sucks not having it working in the new one.

Ok, today i will try it again! Maybe yesterday, after 14 hours of hard work , i was to tired for a good fight and a realistic opinion!
(for all those how told me i must learning to fly: see you on ATAG, going down like a burning candle!)

PS: The trim sucks anyway!

I changed the profile name to but that shouldn't make a difference.
This is exactly what I have now. Just don't forget to save your text doc before you import back.
Goodluck

This does nothing for me expect add the CLOD in the sli profile list, doing this still does not turn it on if you select "Global setting (Nvidia recommended )".

I have other SLI games and they have the option "Nividia recommended (SLI)" as an option.

So it still operates as before... smoother on one card....

Selecting "Force alternate frame rendering 1" induces some horrendous stuttering.... with vsynch on or off...

selecting "Force alternate frame rendering 2" increases frame rate but micro stutters are present. .... with vsynch on or off...

Leaving it on one card it is smooth... frames are slightly down but smooth...mirror still causes massive load increase on any of the above settings.

I am running 2 x GTX680's.... god help ppl who are not lucky enough to afford such luxury...

Not starting. So if I uninstall and start over where do I get a list of all the patches?

as far as i know, with the latest official steam install you only ever need to add the last current Beta patch (witch contains all the info from the previous beta and RC patches and their micro fix etc)

if you have installed previous patches, *in theory* the latest patch should overwrite most of the previous files that had changes, but if you then get some new unexplained errors (CTD's, red plane engines still not starting) it is hard to tell if it is a buggy install or a true bug. so safest to revert to steam integrity check first, then simply install only last beta patch.

You dont need all the patches, just the latest one....
