Game version 2.012 discussion: Hs 129, Kuban map, FM update, New shadows

[Jade_Monkey]

I cannot find any words about FM from hotfix log, but I feel this game rolled back.

???

 

You think the hotfix rolled back to the old FM?

[CanadaOne]

? somthing u dont understand in refound? 

 

I was merely offering an opinion as to the validity of the post I responded to. My opinion being, of course, that the effort required to make the sim work on your PC will be more than repaid by the enjoyment you experience flying it.

 

I hope you are enjoying your day.

When is BoK being released on Steam?

[gn728]

@Thad - thanx for the CFGPool tip - fixed an issue I was having as well...

[ShamrockOneFive]

When is BoK being released on Steam?

Likely after final release (as they did with Battle of Moscow).

 

Assuming you have bought IL-2: Battle of Stalingrad on Steam, you can purchase Battle of Moscow and/or Battle of Kuban from the IL-2 store and still start it up and get patches via Steam. Lots of folks are doing it that way.

[71st_AH_Mastiff]

When is BoK being released on Steam?

BOK is in pre-order still, if you had purchased it online at the 777 store you would get an automatic download and have it in your list when you start the Steam Version of IL2- Sturmovik.

 

The official release is December.

 

https://il2sturmovik.com/informburo/3412a2c30ec942ceaeec40859028837e/eabed94cec439281ef65e6efaf1db5b5/

 

https://il2sturmovik.com/store/battle-of-kuban/

 

Buy now and take advantage of our Early Access program immediately!

Some of the Battle of Kuban aircraft is already available via our Early Access program!

(Meaning you buy it from the 777 Store, it's available once you activate your store bought version. and steam will automatically update.). Because your login (to the Server) should be the same one your using to access the IL 2 Sturmovik web page.

Thank you devs and I like the Free Donbas paint scheme for the Lagg3 )

Huh? - Hopefully not a comment on current political events by the devs.

 

News about this update sound amazing. Thanks for all the 'reviews'...

[216th_Lucas_From_Hell]

It's a historical paint scheme from 1943, a pretty one at that. Wanted to skin it myself but they got to it first

Took a cruise in the new Kuban map on an empty multiplayer server in VR and WOW!! Was flying around just looking at everything and doing banked turns and passes.  Even though my 970 pumps out below 45fps I still enjoyed it despite the nausea for quite some time.  I feel like the handling in the aircraft seems way better and gunnery is far more accurate especially when using the rudder.  This might be the straw that breaks my credit card and debts back and puts me behind the 8 ball for the next year as I may have to shell out for a 1080ti, buy the Cuban edition and see the full effect available in VR.

 

The direction you guys are heading is awesome!  Here's to an increasing waistline, burning eyeballs and an empty bank account!!

Do yourself a favor and don't put yourself into credit card debt for this game, or anything else!

 

It's tempting, I know!

Even if you decide to keep to try and go for a refund (wich would be really regrettable if you are a true fligfhtsim enthusiast) then noone here in the forums can help you. 

You have to contact the support.

I believe so with the addition of the Kuban material.  Would make sense as the Soviets pushed the Axis forces out of that general area leading to one of the most epic tank battles in warfare.  Target rich environment for ground pounders ))

Could someone post a pic? I'm nowhere near my computer for a long time so I have to live the joy of the last update through others

[ATA_Vasilij]

Just spent 3 hours in Mig 3 cockpit above the Kuban Map. 

I must say : It is absolutely AWESOME !!!!!!

You guys came my child dreams into the true ! FANTASTIC !!!!

 

In one book I have read was this: "Remember that Adler means: Eagle. Fight guys in such way that Kavkaz mountains will never forget it"

Now, I was flying above exactly such mountains and landed on the Adler airport. Sun was already setting the horizon and I had a tears almost in my eyes....

 

Map - Beautiful!

Aircraft shadows and lighting - just beautiful

FM - super trouper

All this vith VR - just unrepeatable experience. I am really THERE !!

 

Love you guys, Love you all... 

[senseispcc]

Sorry to come back to my CFGpool.log error but this is the content of this file and nothing else:

: Not a number or boolean value '0 _enable0' of variable 'or_enable'

 

Because I do not have the context of this error or anything else to go with I do not understand this contents. Sorry.

But still thanks to you all to try to help me.   

[yeikov]

 

 

: Not a number or boolean value '0 _enable0' of variable 'or_enable'

 

or_enable is one of the variables in your game folder/data/startup.cfg. You can try editting that file and manually setting the value to 0, in case it is not already.

[senseispcc]

It is ,if i understand correctly , a corruption of the "startup.cfg" , I shall try to find the error. Thanks!  

[senseispcc]

I think if you just rename it (startup_old) for example, the game should create a default new one when it starts, see if it works ok with that, then make any changes you need, using your old for reference.

 

Sorry, it does not work, I tried to rename it, to delete it or to delete it and put the same one at the same place, change Inside the file also does not work the error is still there. I am frustrated it does not make it impossible to play but annoying to quit this great game.   

​I tried once again to renove the "startup.cfg" file and the game creates a new one but the error is still there when I quit the game and this did appear only after the 2,012b patch with the previous 2,012 it did not make this error.   

​Note I posted a bug report bud I do not find it back, I lost it or was it removed?

 

​I did find the solution it was not to find in the game but in STEAM how I do not know but in the start command of Steam there was an additional line "_enable = 0" I am certain I never put there, once removed the error message and effect did disappear.

Congratulations to all the development team of this fantastic air combat simulator. The map of Kuban is beautiful, as we flew over different planes. Now all I need is that Campaign mode is another great job like this.

 

A small idea: Now that there will be many fighting over water, is it very difficult for the pilots of the destroyed aircraft to have any chance of surviving when they land on water with the plane or parachute jumping? Something similar to what happened in the old iL-2. They jump into a life raft, or for example easier (C + E) to float with a life jacket. This idea would already be created for the future Pacific Front. It's a little shame to see everyone drown without help. In the new campaign mode if they fall near the coast they could appear as rescued from the sea and not dead and drowned. It is a siple idea.

This is something that I truly miss.. once crash landed on land and survived, the 'bail out' function would let the pilot exit the aircraft and then dive to safety as if the plane would explode, and in some cases it would if there were fire..

I haventered bailed over water but have ditched so far and the whole crew goes down with the ship, kinda sad. I know it's just a sim but it's frustrating..

 

Another cool event would be destroyed ship survivors and rescue attempt from surrounding escorts..

 

In one quick mission I took out a heavy transport with a 1800kg to the hull, it was spectacular with primary and secondary explosions, but the following boat just went around it like nothing as is sank, it knows no one is on board..

 

I'm not asking for dead bodies in the water, just some life preservation like the troops that run out of the trucks or AAA...

[Marcio]

Excellent work done in the 2012 update!!!

 

For now, I have tested the Me 109 F-04 and the Il 02 mod.'s 1941 and 1942. The improvements in the FM of these aircraft were fantastic!!!

Nevertheless, an excellent job was done in relation to the shadows, the rising sun and the sunset!!!

Congratulations, always keep it up!!!

Great weekend!!!

Hi Devs, with the last update you killed the 109 complete.I promise you will not get any more money from me.

I totally agree with this. Bf 109 has nothing. Too heavy pitch up over 400km. (I think over 500km is right in historically.) Bf 109 can't do barrel roll with this slow roll rate. and Yak has too much good climb to Bf 109 does. Bf 109 can't zoom.

I try shadows on ultra , it's great !!

in my plane  when I see the shadows cockpit on the wing I do not see the pilote shadow , could you have also the pilot shadow in futur ?

Edited September 3, 2017 by sport02

[216th_Jordan]

If you find issues with planes please open a thread or post in an open thread about the plane you are refering to in the appropriate subforum. (e.g. FM Discussion)

 

With such a huge update errors can sneak in, so make the devs aware of them and if the claims are true that faults are to be corrected.

Hi Devs, with the last update you killed the 109 complete.I promise you will not get any more money from me.

 

Without being to rude you should learn how to fly =) If you know what you are doing 109's (f2/f4/g2/g4) are still all uber-weapons and should wipe the floor with anything the reds have to fly if you are above or even the same height as an opponent.   No pilot who wants to live should engage with an opponent who has a height advantage unless that enemy pilot is very unskilled

Didn't mean to upvote this, you are probably not trimmed properly.. At high speeds its usefull to move trim to about 0 as it gives you a lot more "pitch up" to use and turn harder!  And the 109 CAN do a barrel roll aha.

[senseispcc]

For those how like "real" numbers for the sizes of the maps;

Kuban               1092 squares 01-42 and 01 to 26

Moscow             672 squares 01-24 and 01-28

Stalingrad          828 squares 01-36 and 01-23

Velike Liki          170 squares 01-17 and 01-10

Novosokolniki     25 squares 01-05 and 01-05

Lapino                25 squares 01-05 and 01-05  

I suppose all this "squares" are of the same dimensions on the ground so the Kuban map is some 48% greater than the Moscow map and 32% greater than the Stalingrad map.

 

I thank the development team for their great and formidable work.

Without being to rude you should learn to whom you are talking to    3wus statements are much more valueable than most of the words coming from more or less exclusively Allied flyers. He's judging from online experience, not SP or hearsaying...

 

He's one of the most experienced 109 pilots I know. Look at his stats on WoL, I think he doesn't need your advices.

[Aram500]

Hi, I am not a hard cor flight simmer, but love the game and play with casual settings. But, since the update, I no longer have any map plane markers, or map guides, etc. These were showing in the campaign on normal settings, but now do not display at all. I have also tried a single mission, with custom settings and still no map icons or hud icons. Also, I seem to be the only plane in flight, apart from the random enemy fighter.

Any help please 

H.

Being an onlince ace has nothing to do with this.

[216th_Lucas_From_Hell]

Hi Aram, try pressing H in flight and see if that brings the HUD back. If the HUD shows up but the map marker doesn't, press I.

[Aram500]

Hi Lucas, thank you for reply, I will load the game again give it a try. Cheers Aram

Hi again Lucas, all now OK.

It's not easy being this stupid, but someones got to do it.

Thank you again for a quick response

WOW! We have real online aces here, IMPRESSIVE!!! Hats off everyone, in practise it`s the same as flying the real thing and fighting the war. Real authority, pretty please lead us to the light and tell us how it should be done
