Cockpit graphics error

[Reggie_Mental]

Whilst flying the Tempest MkV, I am getting these 'rays'

 

It only occurs in this aircraft. On any map, in any player mode.

 

Is this a matter of deleting a dump/settings file? Had a similar problem with a Me109F4, where the cockpit view just pivoted immediately down to the floor and would not move.

 

I am using Trackhat v1.2p7 Opentrack

 

 

 

Any suggestions? Anyone else had this problem?

Do you get it all the time on that plane? If so, it certainly is a geometry corruption, you should delete and re-download that plane model.

Never seen this before but haven't flown the Tempest since the last patch.

What's your graphics card and driver? Any non-default settings in your driver settings?

If it is a corrupt geometry in your game (could very well be) I don't think there's any way to just delete and redownload the Tempest. I think you would need to do a full reinstall...

Yes. Only that plane so far. I noticed an unusually long load time when I uploaded the new scripted campaign for that aircraft for the first time.

ZOTAC AMP Extreme II Graphics card. Drivers.. Err... Nvidia?

 

What would a full re-install involve?

 

I've downloaded loads of skins and other content. Would I lose them?

 

I run off the Steam server

If you run the game on Steam, you should be able to use Steam to verify the install files. If it finds an error, it should redownload the file that causes the problem. This may fix the issue for you. See instructions here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335#:~:text=Verify Integrity of Game Files. 1 Restart your,- this process may take several minutes.

 

Try that before anything else. You can back up skins, campaigns, input settings, etc. from your data folder in your Il-2 install and that should keep all your stuff safe. Then you can just copy and paste what you need back into the new install I think. I haven't had to do that before so there may be more steps involved.

Steam says '25 Files failed to validate and will be re-acquired'

 

Looks good...?. 

 

and a quick test...

 

Cheers. All sorted. You're a genius.
