homepage Forums Air Combat & Civil Aviation IL-2: FB, AEP, PF BETA 4.09 - SLOVAKIA map - bug report

Aha. I have an X1950Pro but can only get up to Excellent. Where's my Perfect settings ATI?

No problems with stutters in single-player mode btw,
Athlon 64 3800+; 1Gb DDR Ram and the above-mentiond vid-card.

Great, great, map

Me 109 is on the Bessarabia map, while the P 39 is on the Slovalia map.

Under the [OpenGL] section in conf.ini, change

HardwareShaders=0

to

HardwareShaders=1

You have to run IL-2 in OpenGL of course.

I am running 9800 pro. Maps are excellent, but the water is black in all maps.

Big cities in the full version will be reduced slightly in the final release. We experienced 33-50% increase of the minimal fps thanks to 10-15% object reduction there.

A Horrido, pouzivaj prosim MAT znaky

I am not sure if it is a bug or not - I will need to do a LOT more testing but every time I fly over the Slovakia map I mess up my jeans.

It's lovely - thanks!

What, the mess in your jeans or the Slovak map??

Me too! I think it is the DLL replacement. Try reverting to the HQ foam pack. I haven't tested yet (I lose FPS on the Slovakia map with Perfect settings on, so I am content to fly in "Excellent" for the moment)

You may also have to run in 32bit colour mode for this to work (even though this makes the colours a bit "rich").

More Slovakia screens... Fw-190 A5 with new default skin (markings by MAT Manager)

whats HQ foam pack ?

It was dll pack that caused the water to work on some ATI cards. It took me a while to find it. Try searching the UBI forum.

Love the map - it's like no other in the game. Well done guys.
As others have already posted, I get stuttering when I turn towards the bigger towns. It's especially when zoomed in, makes it quite hard to do something like land facing a town. Anyway, it sounds like you've got this idea sorted already.

Some fancy-pants dual core processor, forget which one.

You should really consider reducing the object amount (trees) in big cities even for the online map.

Nitra for example drops from an average 65fps to 12fps in perfect mode on the online map.

Picture showing mountain lake which shows a reflection which is in fact a hole through the terrain showing you what is in the distance.

This is on the Slovakia (online) map, 8800GTS 512Mb card with 169.21 drivers.

I'm afraid this is a limitation of the graphic engine. Water is normally not supposed to be at altitude different than 0m. You can do it (it was also done in Norway and Burma maps), but if you go very close to the water texture, you can have some bugs like this one (and other like looking at the bad side of the water texture, etc...).
On this display, it seems to me the terrain is correctly flat around the lake as it should be... so the problem is probably not the fault of the map makers.

Minor flaw (1st easily correctable one I've spotted in hours flying around): There are a couple of buildings straddling the railway track in the town of Liptovsky Hradok (P10 Slovakia offline)

again, wonderful map - very much enjoying it

Large sections of track missing in upper left corner of the map.
