hahaha, bet they'd love me fricken hippies. everyday i go to work, inside a part of them dies

Happy easter all Nothing planned. feel like i should be outside really, but having been outside in this glorious (if rather hot to be climbing) weather, all of the week so far, just can't be arsed now i don't have to be!

I'll be getting it straight away. says somewhere that the final will just be a patch to this, and i'll be surprised if it doesn't ship with an updater again...... Clod, whats Clod.......

could be, could be

4.10.1

i was thinking more of another 'rat'

well, i've tried it. on my system its better than what the mods were on my other install of the game, so its def going in the right direction. still lots to be done, be nice when they finally get around to proper full screen, and proper multicore, although one of my cores is spiking where its being involved in texture loading......

why don't you use the torrent?

i'll wait for it to go final.

i hate gerbils. the english amongst us might work out why.

ha, i'm all for making it simpler, should of thought of that myself really nice work mayhem.

yeah, pooka's right, it works threefold, one mod reduces the size of some of the texture size, one disables mipmaps, and one disables ssao. glad you got it working BG. arthur, are you still on win xp, or 7 now? shouldn't make a diff where the files go in the actual folder, but since its the same name should auto go in the same place.....

what do you get over land. if it hasn't increased then something is most likely not correct.

done, http://dangerdogz.com/forums/topic/8376-how-to-install-clod-mods/

and thats the crux, it needs to be on a direct x 10 OS.

Hi guys, here is a little walk through, of how to install the mods for clod, which give a significant improvement in fps, and in smoothness. It really makes a big difference on my system, and across the board from all who try from reading the various forums. its a little bit complicated, but i shall try to make it as easy as poss with a step by step guide with pics and everything! first you need to download these 5 things, http://dangerdogz.com/forums/files/file/490-il2cod-sfsmod11zip/ http://dangerdogz.com/forums/files/file/489-launcherexeconfig/ http://dangerdogz.com/forums/files/file/491-lowtex7z/ http://dangerdogz.com/forums/files/file/492-nomipmaps-modzip/ http://dangerdogz.com/forums/files/file/493-nossao-modzip/ (thanks rog for uploading to the vault ) Step 1. first extract the il2cod-sfsmod11.zip to desktop. inside will be a 'kegetys.dll' file. this need s to be copied into here, C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover as shown below, keep this window open. Step 2 extract the launcher.exe config that you downloaded. in the above screenshot, you will see there is already one there, cut that one out, and place somewhere safe, and replace with the one you downloaded, as this has the entries needed already done for you. (thanks to Jedi ) Step 3 extract the 3 mod folders that you downloaded, 'lowtex', 'nossao' and 'nomipmaps' copy these into the same place, you can see them in the above screenshot. Step 4 open steam, click on library, right click on 'il2 sturmovk cliffs of dover' and click properties, click 'set launch options', and add this text as shown, -mod=nossao -mod=nomipmap -mod=lowtex and thats it, start game Some other tips that improve performance, 1) disable windows aero (you can do this by adding the text -disablecomposition in the launch options as shown below, will turn it off when you start the game, and back on when you exit.) full text to insert will be, -disablecomposition -mod=nossao -mod=nomipmap -mod=lowtex 2) disable trees and turn down buildings to low 3) and although this looks pretty, turn off shadows, its a big fps hit. I can now fly at a much higher res, with better fps and it running much smoother. Its still nowhere near perfect, but its a massive step forward, hope this helps, FB.

how much free hard drive space do you have, if its plenty, then you can just create another partition and install win7 on that and duel boot, that way you won't loose any of the stuff you already have. if you don't have enough room suggest getting another hard drive, and duel booting of that. oh, def get 64bit.
