Game version 2.010 discussion: IL-2-43, New graphics features

[BOO]

I have many slowdowns and freeze both offline and online.

I never had any problems until now, even with the old video card (now I have 1060)

If it remains so for me it is unplayable! But yestarday was playable!

I hope there will soon be a fix

 

Driver - try reinstalling it.

I highly recommend Guru 3D Display Driver Uninstaller for AMD/NVIDIA. I use it to make clean uninstall before updating new graphic drivers. Its easy and fast.

BRAVO!! Every patch is a nice surprise in features and improved performance.

 

Best mirrors...ever! With VR, well, ..amazing . I wish more aircraft could have them.

 

Thanks to the TEAM.

It increase FPS a bit but stuttering is presented

[I./JG1_Baron]

Thnx for update.

 

BTW i dont fully understand to

 

11. Bf 109, Fw 190 and some other planes durability is fixed (it was undeliberately lowered because of the many earlier changes in these aircraft). Now twin longeron Soviet fighters with delta-wood wings are roughly 20% more durable than Bf 109 fighters which have single longeron wings, while Fw 190s with triple longeron wings are roughly 20% more durable than Soviet fighters. P-40 is even more durable thanks to its five longeron wings. Pe-2 and Bf 110 planes are roughly twice more durable than Soviet fighters while IL-2 fits somewhere in between Pe-2 and LaGG in terms of combat durability;

 

that means I'm going badly looking at the German fighter and he's going to fall apart? Can anyone explain this to me please?

 

[gnomechompsky]

Thanks.  Great that there is clarity about DM in point 11.

 

1 bug that still exists from a while ago is the SLI/Crossfire always deselects itself in the launcher when restarted.  

Thnx for update.

Pretty sure it means that the DM has been changed such that the BF109 and 190 are now more robust (harder to kill).  

 

109 is 20% less than soviet fighter, 190 is 20% more etc.  

[LLv34_adexu]

Unplayable, tested on Berloga, FPS randomly drops from 90 to 24-35.

[=FI=Blue2]

Wow, super exciting patch here once again - thanks Han & Team!

Naturally I won't be able to play around with it for another 2 weeks plus, but definitely looking forward to it!

Have to live vicariously through the rest of you in the meantime by checking these forums during lunch.  Post some good pics & vid's!!

It means before update 109 and 190 were too weak, (happened by accident because of FM/DM changes), 2.010 makes 109 and 190 stronger.

[I./JG1_Baron]

Many thnx for reply guys. Cant wait to fly.

[Luger1969]

Best flightsim investment I have ever made. The level of continued enhancements is fantastic... and the new content just keep on coming. Thanks guys.

Guys, try to alt+tab when you have stuttering. Just a test, Berloga is fine to test this problem.

 

Try also Vsync via Nvidia.

What does that mean? No info on why your having issue? What system your running? What setting your using?

 

Can't fix the tire iif it's not telling me why it's flat?

If you use spars grid from nvidia turn it off.

[=gRiJ=Alado]

sorry, but to me a bad update. Max zoom to shot mean stutering and freezing, in moscow, in stalingrado and lapino. New graphics options off and the same problems

[Wolfred]

Have gtx 780 with 368.81 drv. BSOD. after the patch, but not before, any newer driver that will Work?

yes but a 900 series card apparently nvidia doesn't want to fix the issue with theses cards DX11 issues. Not all game run into this problems. System upgrades and OS upgrades are why you should update. Edited May 11, 2017 by 71st_AH_Mastiff

[Blooddawn1942]

This is an absolutely outstanding update! Maybe the best since a long time. The mirrors are simply by far the best I've ever seen in any flightsim.

The Ground is now so razor sharp with the flickering gone...it's a whole new experience! Incredible how you keep improving the core of the sim while adding new content all the time.

You guys rule and You are truly second to none!

Ok thx, now it will be a good time for me to wait 2 more years for VR and a good system

[L3Pl4K]

Cool Update, keep it up.

I'm waiting for E3 to see if any VR surprises pop up?

Salutations,

 

I was just testing a SP mission of mine and experienced a game freeze. I had never experienced this in the many times I had tested this mission prior to the new patch. I don't know if it is connected... but it seems it may be.

[Holtzauge]

Only had the chance to try a few QM so far but the new DM graphics look great! Also, although it will probably take some time to gather "statistics" on the revised modelling of HE shell effects, my initial impression is very positive.

 

Thanks for a great update!

[Lymark]

 

10. German 20 mm shell fragments have a higher initial speed because of their higher explosive mass to total mass ratio so they cause more damage;

 

I have been waiting for this for so long! 

 

 Now, I totally trust than the devs are making the sim fairly, unlike other games with bias bull crap.

[keeno]

Simply amazing update,

 

so many cool features and fixes!!! the new hits look fantastic, mirrors are brilliant, terrain and tree shadows look awesome and don't get me started on the il2 '43!!!!

 

Ahhhh, heaven.

 

Cheers, off to fly!!!

[Alienax]

Loving the update, just tried out the new IL2 '43, such a wonderful machine to fly and even more so in VR

@Cymao;  I too had horrible stutters - on a gtx770 - and did what BOO suggested.  Even though I'm using latest drivers, I re-installed it.  Everything is peachy again.  .  Oh yeah, you're going to really like this update

 

Mirrors are simply astonishing btw and has anyone else realised we've gained an airfield?

 

@BOO - nice one m8

[SirFlappy]

Thankyou....as an ati user (rx480) I was annoyed I could not use sparse grid aa to get rid of ground shimmer ,as I did on my old nvid580gtx.

 Now with the landscape setting on sharp it looks much better,plus with the earlier dx11 update the game for me at least looks and runs more smoothly.

            Keep up the good work,I know a few bugs appear now and then then ,but the improvements are noticable and welcome. 

Edited May 11, 2017 by SirFlappy

[BlueHeron]

Looking forward to trying this update.  Is anyone running this with crossfired RX 480 cards?

No kidding, that new landscape feature is awesome. Don't know what magic dust they threw into the mix, but boy is it working!

 

This sim on Ultra with the updated clouds, shadows, and sharp landscape AF is gorgeous.

[Elem]

Particles problem bug from before has come back again for me. Radeon Rx480 graphics card. 

 

Awesome job with the patch and thanks for all the changes.

 

Yep! Had the same terrible pixilation on my RX 480 on first start up, but the new drivers fixed that and running beautifully on same maxed settings and no FPS drop. Even with mirrors, which are amazing, no FPS hit. You guys have hit the jackpot. Many thanks indeed.

[=38=Tatarenko]

All good here, working great. The new IL-2 is an absolute delight. Surprised they had the navigation radio fitted as standard but it'll be a help for sure.

[Han]

Unplayable for the moment for me too. I hope a quick fix.

 

Turn off "Distant landscape detail" option. If this help you - try to set it to x2 or x3 - find a ballance. This option requires too much VRAM.

Unplayable at the moment. FPS from 60 down to 34-44 and stuttering as hell.....

Same here. Try to turn off Distant landscape detail

 

Yeah, AMD Radeon I was forced to use my old PC because Corsair leaked my new PC! All latest driver are installed. Still the same issue with this damn patch!!! Had the hope to spend the time on my old PC waiting for Corsair reimbursement.

But noooo, they release an patch that introduce just problems! Yeah Yeah new graphics features. I can't play the game how I played before that patch and that's their fault.

 

Please update your ATI videodriver.

[Bullets]

Can someone please post a comparison between "landscape shader" Off / Sharp / blurry please? Interested to see what it is 

[scrapmetal]

Sorry for my ignorance, but which aircraft have mirrors and how do you enable them? Ta!

It can be evaluated only in game, in dynamic, not on screenshot.

[Toxin1]

Yak-1b and P-40.  Select mirrors under the modifications for each aircraft.

The P-40 is locked for me and the Yak-1 ser. 69 doesn't have mirrors? I assume I need to progress a little further in the campaign to unlock these?

[Danziger]

They are both collector planes.

[ITAF_Cymao]

Lowering the dynamic resolution factor seems to be fine...
