Sounds like you might have found a bug there FT. Could I suggest you post it onto the TFS bug tracker. I’ll try and find the link for you.

No need to find the link Jabo, I got it: https://www.tfbt.nuvturais.de/login?back_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tfbt.nuvturais.de%2F

I'll report it in there ...

 

[FoolTrottel]

Jabo, maybe it's related to an ammo load out change for 4.5: See this at ATAG

[Snacko]

Finally got mine working. Had to unplug my Thrustmaster T300rs Racing Wheel.

 

Now, can I just copy my saved clod settings over? Or is it not compatible?

It's fully compatible mate, I just copied mine over and it worked first time.

[Snacko]

Great, thanks!

What is the verdict? Steam havnt got back to me yet so I am not able to download. I might even have to buy another copy so is it worth it.

[FoolTrottel]

Verdict? Is there any doubt?

It's good, it's still CloD.

Not much has changed, stuff got added and stuff got improved, and stuff got changed...

 

[Jabo]

I’ve listed the changes in the OP Dave. For my money it’s well worth it. What’s wrong with your steam account?

My registered email address is no longer available and I have forgotten  my password. I am waiting to hear back from them but it has been quiet for 2 days now.

Now sorted

Well me being on the bottom of the totem poll of computer geeks, I now have mine up and running. I did notice that the small letter engine and control HUD  I normally use for throttle and pitch and rad settings are absent. Is this something I can turn on that's off or is it not available on this version. After finally letting my engine warm up I can now fly! I really like the ground scenery and how real it looks. Almost real compared to CFS of years gone by and IL2. I'm glad I updated my graphics card and added 8 gig of ram now totaling 16 gig. 

[Jabo]

The HUD is available still Flak, unless someone can come back with the fix earlier, I’ll dig out the solution for you tonight.

Locate the file called UserConf.ini and edit it. (Will be in My Documents\1C Softclub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\folder)

Look for the ChatWindow section, and copy these text into it, replacing what there is now:

[ChatWindow]

4:-2=-font 0 -color 120 -columnWidth '0.113 0.197 0.354 0.161 0.104 0.070' -columnSort 2
 

There's an alternative way: Copy the ConfUser.ini file over from My Documents\1C Softclub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD\folder to the one mentioned above)

[FoolTrottel]

And also: ZoomSpeed setting: Link at ATA forums: ZoomSpeed

And copied from there, from conf.ini [core] section: Zoomspeed=x    x being 1 - 9 with 9 the fastest zoom

[core]
RandSeed = 0
TexQual=3
TexFlags.PolygonStipple=0
Shadows=1
etc
......
etc
TexFlags.VSync=0
ExtendedClouds=1
StaticsShadows=0
ZoomSpeed=5

That's cool... 

Just realized I never paid a thing for it, got it gifted, cos back in them days I was a 'Moderator' at the UbiZoo...

Now that I've had so much good times out of it, I should put some money into it...  (Oh, and still having those)

So, any one over here in need of it, just holler here, I'll pay for it! First come, first served!

Blitz patch now live - December 28, 2017

All,

A new patch is live and should be getting to your installation folder.
The patch addresses the following:
1.- Server lag.
This is the fix that has been running on the ATAG server for a week now.

2.- Driving wheel crashes.
This was identified as a bug on the microsoft side when trying to apply joystick axes force feedback to the wheels. As a workaround this issue, the device is being identified now by any of the following two things:
a.- If the USB device informs windows that it is a "driving" device.
b.- If the device description text contains "wheel" (this is a safety measure in case the device is not properly reported as a "driving device".
If any of those two are true, the device will be skipped when selecting a FF device. Note that there might be wheels out there that do not match any of the two conditions which would make the test fail and the issue to happen.

I'm getting 60 fps flying around the towers at dover with the Mod version, and only 29 with Blitz, Single player Free flight mission all the settings for video are the same between the two.

Anyone else take a hit like that?

Yep.  

 

[T_O_A_D]

DAM!!!! I thought it was going to be as good on that note :-(

I realy don't want to upgrade hardware for it, since all the rest run fine and this is still limited to BOB

 

[FoolTrottel]

Can't say I have, and can't say I have not. As in not tested it.

I switched off the in game V-sync, which  gives me higher FPS. But I did see a massive drop around the Isle of Wight when looking at the ground, at that one time I joined the ATAG server for a bit.
