Game version 1.009 discussion

Honestly - oxygen mask on pilot face is the last thing what is interesting for me in IL2:BoS.

[71st_AH_Mastiff]

For those who are stuttering, did you by chance make a profile settings in your Video card control panel? i.e. NVCP or ATI (AMD) CCP..

 

if you didn't make one and see if that solves your problem.

[clayman]

Oh, this is just great guys ... Thanks!      

[=TFK=ZeJackalNZ]

Thanks Devs for your awesome efforts! S!

 

Now....off to have a fly and try things....

[9./JG27golani79]

Stutters like hell with this patch.  i7- 3770 4.2 Ghz,  970 4gb    I got to enjoy my new 970 with no stutters for about a month. 

 

Not sure but sometimes OC can cause problems - have you tried with standard cpu clock?

 

I´m running a standard 3770 with a 780 and have no stuttering at all.

Has someone actually managed to extinguish a fire in a dive or sideslip?

Should be possible by now.

didn't had the time to try anything yesterday. Just did the download/installation and checked if BoS would run properly.

To everyone,

Thank you very, very much

People primarily complaining about an oxygen mask animation is a clear sign that the developers are getting ever-closer to a complete and comprehensive product, and a great sim! An astounding achievement in such a short time. You can really see how all the knowledge and experience accumulated by the devs during RoF development has been put to good use. Methinks it was a good time for Jason to step in... :-)

I guess with animations he meant the procedure of the pilot to put his oxygen mask on and off. A moving gauge is barely an animation.

 

Well, if you look carefully, you can notice a "lever animation" when the pilot is opening his O² system. So, we have the lever animation, the moving gauge, the oxygen flow indicator (in German planes) and the breathing noise.

 

We just don't have the external 3D mask & the external pilot animation.

 

I'd have liked to see the oxygen blinker speeding up when the pilot is breathing quicker under loadcharge.

 

Cheers,

HI Mastiff

I shall make one today in nvidia control panel . i also run afterburner at 60 fps .

 

The stuttering was only in online server . will test futher .

Excellent work done with the patch Devs. Congratulations!!

Exactly Freycinet, this is admittedly only a luxury problem   ...and a good sign for this update / sim.

[6./ZG26_5tuka]

I don't think the struttering is a graphical issue but more a connection issue. Had it excessive before the patch (warped a few m every 5 sec). Yesterday flying on the WIngs of Liberty Server it seemed less to not noticeably to me while I got some usual lag / small strutters flying on the full house Fresh Meat server later on.

 

I can only recommend going over the MP settings again and checking different servers to show if there is any difference in terms of struttering.

Multiplayer settings in game may have been reset to the default 1mb up and 1mb down which will cause stuttering in multiplayer, mine were reset to that.

I agree with you guys, but the one major thing missing  for me is to have clickable control systems in cockpit. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any signs of this happening  anytime soon but I really hope the develops will actively seek to do this in future. 

[Matt]

Had time for a short flight yesterday. Only really tested what happens when you dive with gear down and the results were very statisfying.

 

Will probably test the other stuff later this week. Sounds like a good update.

[Livai]

Is there a way to roll back this patch to install the older Version 1.008? It is the first time where I need to say this. Not sure what they did with the AI maybe it is the oxygen system that do the AI problems. The AI falling down from the sky like stones and their planes are not damaged. I notice that the AI still do high-g maneuvers after the oxygen is empty or damaged.

 

I hope there is a way to roll back this?

[Nankeen]

Just Flew a SP Sortie, all good this end,

Is anyone going to launch an Oceania Server soon? I just wish my connection was more stable.

[Livai]

Here a quick example what I mean.

 

1. AI fly with 800 km/h straight to the ground from 5000m ( It is the grey plane on the left side from the blue plane ) And the blue plane crashed exact the same way two seconds later.

 

 

 

 

2. AI with stopped engine flaps down near Airfield. A new landing technique?

You will need to adjust your AI Blood alcohol percentage back to (0)  Unless you fly VVS...and then increase it to .15 which is normal setting for them..

Thanx for great update devs.

 

Looking forward to host server, but still waiting for 2nd account credentials (since yesterday cca 10PM) . 

5. receive the account credentials and put them into the .SDS server configuration file.

How will I recieve them ?Via e-mail ? 

Checking my e-mail /my account /e-mail/account whole day and still nothing

I know, you wrote :  

And attention once more!

Giving out the extra dserver account takes time, so I’m afraid some of you may have to wait until tomorrow, because our customer service guy needs to sleep sometimes too.

 

Sooo.. As I am some of us, I am still waiting

Anyone waiting for credentials as long as I do  ?

Edited February 25, 2015 by 312_HeRa

Just make sure that you've sent a request to customer support. We're sending the keys all day, there's quite a lot of those requests for one person to handle them fast enough.

[312_HeRa]

I remember when you had to allow 28 days for delivery for anything; have patience, good things come to those who wait ;-)

Sometimes more ...babiez

Thanx Zak, it was quick .

For sure I did ...but if you dont have it, I can do it again same way I did yesterday. No problem .....just dont want to flood you with many requests from one user ...thats why I have asked

[I/JG27_Zimmi]

Is there a way to minimise the graphic settings/computational load for the FMB? My ultrabook can't handle the editor I was so much looking forward to creating some missions during the week, which should be played at weekends

No...it's meant to be funny Chief..... in a historical kind of way..no offense....

"Not that one would have to resort to scrimping and saving later during the Second World War, when the ration was upped and the distribution of vodka – among Red Air Force pilots too – was liberal and largely encouraged.

A clue could have been found in the etymology of the word vodka, a diminutive form of the Slavic word vodafor water.

But reckless, drunken courage is not always a characteristic to be desired in your men. As one Red Army officer pointed out: ‘If the men did not drink that much we would have been in Berlin two years earlier!’"

What should we set this to for less stuttering online?

[SCG_Tzigy]

depends on your connection...try to match DL speed, for UL the rec long time ago was set it to 1/2 of your speed

 

 

mine settings kept at 10 and 5, no new/signif stutter but almost no one on the servers i tested last night....

[E69_julian57]

Great update.

[System87]

Nothing of the above listed helped with the stuttering,it doesnt matter if i play on high or low, AA on or off, I also tryed to limit the frames to 50, 40 but its always the same.

Been waiting so long for this patch and now the game is unplayable for me

srry about the stutters, i am sure u tried everything...

 

unchecking full screen, flying at native res and having vsync through ncp was thought to be the best to combat stutters in the past...

[Sessine]

Amazing patch, well done guy's.

 

Here's a great review from yesterday of the game :-)

15. Fixed the issue with engine not starting at all after a failed attempt to start;

 

I dont understand this ? Is this some strange feature because its winter and cold outside ? Today every second try to start my engine resulted in a failure.

sounds like to me you have a low end PC and all the calculations are not being feed through your system fast enough, you ever post your PC specs?

This means that there was a bug that caused an engine to die after you fail to start it with 1 attempt.

[Sokol1]

And to make this convincing is need that AI put/remove mask too... 

 

At distances that AI close formation if you are playing inside cockpit will don't see...

Today first test 1.09.

 

- game got microstutters -  before was smooth

- trim in 109 is crap -  now is very slowly -  why it was changed?????  Change need only automatic trim reset when you move trim after respawn and trim in G-2 which work even if you stop.  Speed of trim change in F-4 before update was ok  -   why it was changed????

- planes expecially fighters are now too resistant on 20 mm cannons hit. 

[Livai]

I posted my PC Specs a long time ago. If I remember correctly it was inside the Present Optimize Thread.

 

That fun I had with a High End PC and with my HTPC. No, its not my end that do that. And this patch broken the AI completely for me. I and the AI a never ending story. Starting with the breakdance AI, follow with the gear and flaps down dogfight AI..............! BTW if you say that this do a Low End PC  then explain me why if I start to play the online campaign for example, land with my VVS plane on a ememy airfield just for fun and watch with a big   how each German Luftwaffe AI plane land and start to breakdance on the runway until his gear breaks.
