This is an issue that Radeon users are having after the patch. Switching AA types helps some people.

There is a thread specifically for this issue so Devs can find a fix:

Strange graphical spike appeared during landing

Detailed description, conditions:

During my landing approach in Utopioneer's LaGG-3 Flight School (03 - Landing) a strange spike appeared to the engine section (looks kinda cool and dangerous). It was also visible from the outside view. I started recording right away and took a screen capture. Unfortunately in the track replay it doesn't show up anymore. Graphics settings attached.

Brief description: Yak-9 (and Yak-9T?) armored windscreen damage not correct.
Detailed description, conditions: Yak-9 displays damage to armored windscreen that is the type of damage that would occur to plexiglas. The damage for armored glass will look different.
Additional assets (videos, screenshots, logs): See below
Your PC config data (OS, drivers, specific software): Not relevant.

 

This angular broken hole is what would look like on the plexiglas part of the canopy. Damage to armored glass looks more like the photos below. There are no holes. It is just shattered in place and makes it very difficult to see through.

Brief description: Shimmering effect in il-2 cockpits in the area shown in the pic.

 

Detailed description, conditions: There is a shimmering, 'out of focus' effect in the il-2 cockpits in the area shown around the joystick / trigger switches. It seems to be worst in the il-2 m42, but is visible on all three il-2 models. (There is also some slight shimmering noticeable on the panel lines of the instrument panel.)

Additional assets (videos, screenshots, logs): Screenshot below shows the area where this occurs. But effects are only really visible in game

Brief description: mapping of trim
Detailed description, conditions:

The aileron, elevator and rudder trim  dont work in any plane.

 

Same problem than Grobby, but I have a Thrusmaster Hotas Warthog.

I configure my joy in IL2 Keymapping

I asignate buttons to trims but they not work, only work with keyboard...

After the last update I have a problem with the  trim, they have stopped working, I have tried to configure it again in my Hotas Warthog and there is no way it will work.

If I activate the trimming with the keyboard I have no problem but with the assignment of my hotas in the usual mushroom it has stopped working.

I've even tried to assign an axis of my saitek quadrant and it doesn't work either

If someone can help me I would appreciate it, because I have no idea what the problem may be.
 

Some on my squadp ilots are experiencing this same problem...

 

Thank you all.

Missing controls in U2-VS cockpit

Detailed description, conditions:

The U2-VS is missing the bomb release levers in the front cockpit, although the frames to hold them are shown. However, it is possible for the player to drop the bombs whether he/she is in the pilot's or observer's seat. Even when the observer/gunner is dead the bombs may still be dropped by the pilot.

 

Fix:

Either

a) include the levers in the front cockpit

or

b) prevent the player from dropping bombs unless they are in the rear cockpit.

It's a great aeroplane, nonetheless!

 

 

How do you use the bombsight in the right outside fuselage of the rear cockpit? I just can't get my head outside of the cockpit enough in flight

It's really hard to aim the bombs in the U2-VS

You can't - it hasn't been included. All you can do is look at it. Low-level bomb runs (at great speed!) are your only sure way of hitting anything other than general targets.

After the last updates i have serious problem with the game (textures* ??). Cant find from where is coming.  I  use max,high settings...?

When this happens(not always) i can leave the game only with alt-ctrl-del...

[=SqSq=Civilprotection]

I have a graphical problem that I only noticed after the last major update. It causes low resolution textures to be displayed in place of high resolution textures. My game now sometimes looks like the following.

However it takes time for the textures to deteriorate to this condition. When a quick mission is launched the high resolution textures are loaded in properly as far as I can tell. The one exception is the Ju 87 which almost invariably spawns in the first test with high quality textures, but upon taking any damage the texture quality drops to the minimum quality (sometimes it even switches the skin from mission defined to default). In every subsequent test (before restarting the game) the Stuka spawns with the lowest quality texture.

 

There are two other symptoms:

After the game displays the glitch, it no longer shuts down correctly. it stops responding, and I am forced to kill the game via task manager.

The second symptom is that when I verify the game cache through steam, one file is invalid and will be acquired. When I run the integrity check a second time, everything checks out... until I run the game again and the glitch presents itself. I'll run the integrity check yet again, and one file will fail to validate yet again, and the process repeats.

 

I have gone through the standard checks, and I'll just post all the misc. information below:

CPU- Ryzen 2700X

GPU- GTX 1080 8GB VRAM (drivers are up to date)

32GB RAM

SSD integrity check: passed

Nvidia control panel fidgeting (max performance)

delete startup .cfg file and let the game auto generate a new one

complete uninstall/reinstall

 

On the whole I a noticing this glitch for every airplane in the game. Mostly it is only visible for a fraction of a second before the high resolution texture is loaded in on top. Player controlled tanks, ground ai vehicles and other misc. objects appear to be exempt.

 

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Detailed description, conditions:

In the Spitfire Mk.IX the needles in this cluster of gauges has a faint outline where the transparency in their alpha channel is (note the  faint white line under the pitch trim indicator and the seconds arm in the clock) - it's very prominent in VR as it's more than just a faint line but also visible in 2D (as below) - the line disappears as soon as you zoom in to it.

P-47D-22 - Mirror is not correctly adjusted 

 

Detailed description, conditions:

With your view centred on the gunsight reticule, the mirror is focused on the pilot's headrest.  These mirror must have been adjustable like a car mirror and many early rear view mirrors were taken from cars.  So it makes no sense that we should have a view of the headrest.  The mirror needs to be adjusted upwards and centred on the vertical stabiliser when the pilots view is centred on the gunsight (the default position for the majority of players).

That's an issue either with whomever created that skin or the misson generator program.

The camera is shifted to the right, because the sight is to the right (the Central rack will otherwise block sight), so we see the tail of the aircraft with an offset.

[Yardstick]

The issue is not so much that the view is shifted to the right but that it is too low.  I think the mirror should be adjusted so that more of the view to the rear of the aircraft is visible.  At the moment most of the view is focused on the headrest.  To use the car analogy again, if the rear view mirror is too low all you will see is the back seats, so you adjust it upwards to see out of the rear window.  

 

Update:  To illustrate my point the first picture is what I would want to see if I was the pilot (a doctored screenshot)

 

Picture 2 is the head position I have to get into to see that view (i.e. much lower and more central).  If I can't see anything useful in the mirror from my normal position in the cockpit, why bother fitting it as it just creates drag?

 

Update 2:

Thanks for correcting this in the hotfix - perfect now ?
