Game version 2.008 discussion: He 111 H-16, Fw 190 A-5, La-5 with M-82F

March 2, 2017

Some month ago, I started a discussion about La-5 and how it will be nice to have it with M-82F engine. Voila!! Although developer answered me in a pretty ruff way , advising me to practice more and learn flying the plane, today I was schocked! It never, ever , happened that developer so promptly responded by gratifying my wish. This is unheard off. I don´t flatter myself that they did it only because of my squealing, but it is impressive anyway.

To say thank you is too little. You are absolutely the best in this cosmos!

i like the new Heinkel, good job guys .

It is very fun to go "train hunting " with on Quick Missions!

Did I just noticed a new animation of the pilot model in external view? I saw that he put his hands on the dashboard. As far as I was aware, there was only the animation where he wipes his googles, right??

I think that's always been there, it's just hard to see on most fighter aircraft, where the pilot sits relatively "deep" in the cockpit.

Well, I noticed it for the first time in the A5. Have to say I barely use the external view.

Previously I had a bit of a graphical glitch with grass on the Moscow Map, this patch has fixed that, thanks!

There also seem to be some performance improvement, now I can get pretty much solid 60fps ultra, NVP, at highest quality and 2 X ingame AA at 4K res

have tested this in many situations, I could not achieve this with my GTX 970 before..I am certain this is not placebo, PQ is now really good with almost zero shimmer and very smooth (amazing for 970 at 4K)

amazing the progress in the last year

congrats to team and looking forward to flying over Kuban, and Odessa!!

Cool stuff I finally bought BoK and I can't wait to have some spare time to fly these on a server that has them :D

Can't wait for VVS planes and especially lend lease ones ^^

M82 F is great and brings some balance to the force

Did any else have non-starting non-working mission editor after latest update? Mine is useless at the moment.

Have you tried "ResetEditorSettings" in the "IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\bin\editor" folder?

March 3, 2017

Has the belly gunner of the He-111 always been able to see the plane in third person by turning his head full left or right?

It happened in the 16 yesterday, but didn't get a chance to try it on the 6.

Well, at 11kB/s download speed I should be able to start enjoying the new features of 2.008 some time in June.

Could we possibly increase the capacity of the download hosts for a few days after each new release.

Auto-Scaling Groups.

March 3, 2017

After hours of snail-like progress I decided to start flipping switches (it was going to be forever anyway) and when I deselected "Prefer web distribution" my download speed increased to 1.7MB/s...

... aaaaaand with the progress bar now tantalisingly close to complete my update has slowed to a depressing 0.25kB/s (yes that is a decimal point).

Being a supporter of the game (and a masochist) I can almost cope with the frustration by whinging to anyone nearby who will listen but I can't imagine this experience being a favourable first impression for new adopters. @Jason - you should probably look into this.

Hmm that happened to me as well a few weeks ago. I had not updated BOS in quite some time, and decided to go ahead and purchase BOM and pre-order BOK. It would get to that same point as yours has, and it would never finish. And I had left it for hours.

I did something that resolved it and was finally able to successfully get it. But dang I can not recall exactly what I did. It may have been deselected seed when downloaded or something like that, just not sure.

Edit: Ok found my thread here where I had this issue and what resolved it. Check it out, it may be of help to you as well.

For some reason the He 111 H-16 Normalmap (under graphics/planes/He111H16/Textures) is only 256x256 px in size. No idea if this issue was due to patchday or if it really went past the tester team without notice (which I can hardly imagine as it's glarilngly obvious that sth isn't right when looking at the aircraft in skin viewer).

yeah - just a mistake while resaving file, thanks for note! will be fixed in closest update.

Have started going through the new Moscow missions.Cudos to the mission designer & thanks to developers who thought enough to go to the trouble of having them designed & included in the last patch,any & all expansions are very welcome!

I do have an observation about a possible glitch that occurs in one of these missions in particular ( but may occur more widely in the sim.)It is the Ju-88 ship hunting mission and this it what happens: immediately after bombing and hitting both of the ships ,I had one bomb left & with that bomb I also hit the railroad bridge during pull out and destroyed it as well.While doing a wide 270 turn to access damage to the ships & bridge I noticed a train roaring down the track to the now destroyed bridge..I smiled to myself & circled to watch the fun.I was to be disappointed: the bridge magically rebuilt itself and the train proceeded unimpeded. Drat!

So my question is this; is this a glitch unintended by the designers of the sim or is this intended simply because the animation of the train going into the "drink" is simply too difficult to animate.If either of theseare true,why cant the train simply be stopped ( making it a much easier target? In quiring minds want to know...?

( Please move if I have placed this in this thread mistakenly...)

I am the designer of the mission. I've just tested the mission and in my test the bridge remained destroyed and the train crashed into the water (the animation works fine). I have no idea why the bridge magically rebuild itself when you flow the mission. If you can reproduce the glitch maybe you can post a video, so the devs can examine the issue.

Well I will definitely try again.It is a fun ,involving mission as are all the others I have had the opportunity to try.Many thanks for your contributions!

( I only wish you could have designed a BIG Stuka mission for the Moscow series.I know we don't have the proper Stuka for the time period-that would probably be the Berta only available over at CloD....but with a little imagination it would be great to have the Doras operating over the Moscow map.Maybe you might consider designing a one-off ?)

At the moment I have no plans for more missions on the Moscow map, but you could try to convince another mission designer to build a Ju-87D mission/campaign that takes place during the Rzhev battles in 1942.

There also seem to be some performance improvement, now I can get pretty much solid 60fps ultra, NVP, at highest quality and 2 X ingame AA at 4K res

have tested this in many situations, I could not achieve this with my GTX 970 before..I am certain this is not placebo, PQ is now really good with almost zero shimmer and very smooth (amazing for 970 at 4K)

exactly the contrary for me in terms of performance

Performances down, blinking skins, stability regression ...

not the best update ever ! Being regular with release is still a challenge.

Management wants to accelerate Pre-Sales for Kuban ?

Devs: please take your time, no stress, no drama

Well we both downloaded the same update...I am not suffering these problems

what are your settings and comp specs maybe there is something amiss, and someone can help? am sure you have done, but make sure you restart computer after update. I once suffered poor performance after update, but was sorted with a restart (or maybe 2,can't remember)

Cheers Dakpilot

Madison V44, list your video card, monitor resolution, if you have gsync, if you run full screen or windowed and what AA options are enabled. Someone will help for sure.

How about when there is lot's of clouds around?

I also have 970 and it's mostly around 60fps. But when in mission where is cloud coverage my fps decreases to ~45-50 and I get a lot of stuttering.

Yes, with heavy overcast and/or other heavy particle effect i can drop to 45 or even 35 in extreme heavy situations, but although frame rate drop is noticeable, not really so much stuttering, which I had plenty of experience of before

On takeoff I also get about 45 but smooth, by the time wheels up it is up to 60, previously I did not achieve this, although I have come to accept (it is well known ) a GTX970 is not enough for 4K with constant 60fps the performance now is a pleasant surprise, and more than good enough in the majority of situations

still need to upgrade really though

Cheers Dakpilot

March 3, 2017

TunaEatsLion, Dakpilot, thanks for your messages. I didn't change anything to my configuration since last update.

Everything was fine until there (almost 60 FPS since 2.007).

My conf: i7 3770K, 32 go Ram, Windows 7 SP1 - 64bits - Gigabyte GTX 1080

regression on average FPS especially with special effects like explosion, flak, + skin blinking on WOL yesterday at connection

Then it's pretty much same as my performance, I was just checking that nothing wrong with my setup

. It has gotten better, you are right about that.

Most of the times it's very smooth. At higher resolutions those clouds need more power than one 970, I'm waiting for working SLI driver.

March 3, 2017

Sorry to hear that, perhaps your update got a hiccup/corruption? I know it sounds silly and basic but I have sorted that in the past with a few computer restarts...

am hoping for a mysterious windfall and get a 7700K and a GTX 1080Ti

Sli working better than in 2.007. Might also be new nvidia drivers that are causing this.

Driver is 378.66

I can post all the other settings if you want them.

Forget the processor - minor incremental improvement over what you have now.

For 4k, change the graphics card.

March 4, 2017

At this time, I suspect the overcrowded effect of WoL, combined with distance of the server.

Seems this server is undersized and not optimized for the numbers of players and weight of missions.

Anyway no big deal, as I prefer less crowded server like Random Experts.

Thanks again for your messages, I will keep you informed mates !

March 4, 2017

tried again this afternoon ... even if WoL is not the best place for perfs, a few bomber taking off reduce my fps by half

I only start the game through \1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\bin\game folder with il-2.exe to get around the update screen.

Also lastly and most importantly I have used Nvidia inspector to change to the following for dx11 bit compatibility:

I noticed that when you select the engine mod in the La-5 you have a fancy "f" in the cowling. It's pretty awesome and it works perfectly for the default skins but there is a issue with the custom ones due to the lack of this symbol in the PSD template.

Can we have an updated one?

That is the best working DX11 SLI profile so far. But zooming in and looking around in zoomed view causes severe stuttering. Otherwise it is pretty smooth 60fps all the time. I see that you are using g-sync monitor, that is probably the reason why stuttering does not bother you. But thanks for sharing your settings

The wait for the working driver continues and is getting frustrating. How long does it take to add working compatibility bit to the driver??? Hope devs give some comment on this.

March 5, 2017

I found a cool video clip of a MG151/20 round.

This gives a good impression of the destructiveness of such guns with big calibers.
And now extrapolate this to 6x20mm for the FW190A5, which means 70-80 rounds per second. Edited March 5, 2017 by PicksKing

Graphics card usage is working at highest percentage after zoom in then zoomed out. Not sure why this is. Gsync does help with this oddity.
