I'm not sure I want to go through 30 gigs worth of skins, deleting what I don't want!!!🤣 -
Out now - ChkSkins - We share our skins!
fruitbat replied to FoolTrottel's topic in IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles Series
A problem yes, but error no....... your skin folder doesn't exist on your C drive, so its perfectly correct I know, i'm not being very helpful!!! -
Well, its really because the skin situation is quite fluid with Box, as initially they all started out as 2k, but newer planes have been released as 4k, and some existing ones have been upgraded to 4k. This in turn means that the normal maps have been changed as well to fit 4k for these newer/upgraded planes, and don't necessarily fit well as well with the old 2k skins. A lot of the skins these days are 4k skins anyway, all from Bodenplatte for example, sooner or later everything is planned to be upgraded to 4k templates anyway. What it would mean would be, that I on my end wouldn't see your skin if it an old 2k skin, but would if it was a newer 4k skin (which is increasingly the more common), and if you were wearing a 2k skin, my mod if used in conjunction, would re dress you in a 4k skin on my end, which will also dress all the ai in 4k correct marking skins too.

Great idea FT, can i make a request though? Would it be possible to add a check box to only download 4k skins, should be easy to do given the 4k file size vs 2k file size? I'm also planning to work on something for myself which can be made available to all once done. As it really offends my sensibilities to not have all 4k skins as default and in particular not have proper German markings by default, I'm planning on altering an available mod to change all the default skins to 4k, for the ones that haven't already been updated to that standard, including the relevant normal maps, and correct German markings. This will make all the AI planes and any of you peasants using 2K skins appear in glorious 4k correct markings goodness! Edit Made all the easier since i've just found a current list of what i need to change and not change.....

Buttkicker, Banana and Oculus Rift.
fruitbat replied to Crash's topic in IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles Series
Buttkicker and banana should never be in the same thread title. That aside, other than a piece of sound software, what is banana and its particular relevance to VR? -
Yep, i read that start up thread you linked, and thought, auto start ftw!
-
Yep, even killed something in it now!!!

The only reason we still retain a seat on the security council, is the fact that we have nukes on submarines, and have the potential to wipe out individually most countries in the world, if we were so inclined. The security council is a joke anyway. Russia and China veto or abstain on any resolution that might set any precedent, that they can't smack down there own populations to keep the current ruling elite in power in both countries. -

Whilst i don't disagree there's truth in that, I don't think it follows that if you have bad friends, you get rid of them, just to get even worse friends instead.... S Arabia is a case in point. Horrible government, in a region of horrible governments. Cutting off selling arms to them would be a massive hit to our defense industry but probably viewed as 'morally' (although morality is a completely subjective human construct) correct in today's society. Would it change S Arabia's policy's in anyway, of course not, they'd just buy of USA, Russia or China instead. Its a loose/loose situation either way. I've thought for a long time now, that politics and F policy is not about choosing the right thing, but choosing the least reprehensible option... -

How do you recover from a stall?
fruitbat replied to il2crashesnfails's topic in IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles Series
Lots of things you did wrong I'm afraid. Straight away you need to throttle right back, by keeping power on you are accelerating the stall. Then stick neutral, waving it around also isn't helping! Then when you do bring the power back, you engage it again to soon. So, throttle back, stick neutral, and full rudder into the direction of the spin until the plane stops rotating (careful not to keep full rudder on to long and send the spin into the opposite direction). Once and only once the spin is negated, power slowly on to build up airspeed and then pull out of the dive. Hope that helps! -

New Game Launcher, New Set Up
fruitbat replied to DD_Arthur's topic in IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles Series
Yeah, I play in 4k, and get shadowplay to output at 1080p from the 4k original, which means its downsampled. This gives a better quality 1080p vid, than recording in 1080p to start with for reasons i don't completely understand. Downsampling is also used by people with very high horsepower computers, to give a better image in VR headsets. The raw shadowplay footage looks much better, first win photos has degraded it (although i am very impressed by how little), then youtube does its butchering. At some point i'll upload a vid in 4k to youtube, to see what its like. -
Here's a little vid of some CLOD fun from tonight, including a rather interesting Hurricane take off!

New Game Launcher, New Set Up
fruitbat replied to DD_Arthur's topic in IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles Series
Little vid before Arthur's masterpiece.... Arthur, that's a 2.23 gig shadowplay vid reduced to 320 meg with win 10 'photos' as mentioned earlier. Obviously looses quality, but allows me to beat you to the deadline and have sound in the vid! I need to sort out the 'no sound with shadowplay in youtube' issue I have though, so I can upload higher quality stuff.
