can we give devellopers a second chance with BOM ?

Since the issue is probably one of sun/shadows, are there any values in the con ini that look wrong or could be adjusted? Thanks.....there are other items in the con ini file, I just pulled the ones related to sun/shadow/lighting

Do you experience any prop flicker/shimmer when flying over land or water, and the sun is to your back? Thanks..sounds like you got a good card!

Thankfully no (looks fearfully over shoulder). Shall report back if I have any news about shimmer etc. just about to head out for dinner.

Despite a lack of communications of their part since COD release and after seing all the hard work they have done i think i will continue to give them my thrust and buy their sequel on release day! they proved they have done their best to fixed this game and at least this should be rewarded !!

I'd trust 1C with my money again in a heartbeat, but only after I'd have read reviews and more importantly what people that has already bought the game say. I wouldn't buy it unseen at release-day (or preorder) at this point, but that might change if they impress me enough during the period up to the point of release.

I'll also add that I'm very hard to impress after CLoD, but we'll see what happens. Rome wasn't built in a day, the original IL2 wasn't good at day 1

There should be a "funny" button on this forum!

The one pic shows a snapshot of the flicker, which is obviously much worse in real time. Also, when I fly and look up to the sun, it about 95 percent washes out the entire screen. Also, running CEM and adjusting prop pitch makes no difference to this issue

Any thoughts? Thanks for your help.

I think everyone has this flicker in the sun but not that bad. This means it is a combination of ingame, driver and conf.ini settings (might be overheating or low power?). Probably it is a shader or texture related setting. I would reset everything to default, via clearning drivers with drivercleaner, deleting 1C Softclub folder under documents(switching off Steam cloud first to create new config), etc., etc.

Thanks so much, I'll give it a shot later this week....maybe you can walk me through the process a bit..I can uninstall the game...turn off steam cloud, delete the entire contents of the 1Csoftclub folder (cache...everything)....should I delete the 1Csoftclub folder prior to or after first uninstalling the game? I think unisntalling it still leaves lots of old stuff behind?
Again, thanks for taking the time to help with this, I think this and doing a complete driver uninstall/clean may do the job, if not...I'll have to live with it but keeping fingers crossed!

Delete it first and try if it helps. Than you can delete it again after installation. But make sure cloud is off. You can backup your key settings first, but there is a small chance the problem may be caused by this file.

I couldn't have worded it any better. I'll be first in line to buy the sequel.

I for one will also buy the sequal,just as with forgotten battles,pacific fighters etc,the game just got better and better.
Have faith,one "a little duff game"Should not damm theses guys for ever.
Besides BOM will improve Clod at same time when merged.
People seem to think it wont??????
Give them a chance before damming please.
I know i will.
