Ah, that's interesting, ought to make it more challenging.

I'm more interested in single player, just need some decent campaigns the stock ones are pretty dull.

Yeah, not just more challenging, but it completely changes single player as you no longer can just ignore AI on your six, you can no longer gift AI a firing solution knowing that he'll miss every time. It's a different game in single player with 4.11 :)

For Il2:46 campaigns - check out Mission4today -they have HUNDREDS of them.
For CLoD - http://airwarfare.com/sow/index.php/downloads32

Never seen this game before it looks amazing! I have got wings or prey laying about somewhere, I liked that game but this looks great.

Yeah, its a good game if you have a joystick and a pretty powerful PC.

Did you try that REDUX campaign in CLod?

But yeah, one thing CLoD does not have is 4.11 AI -that's for sure. Even though the same guy coded it apparently.

Put your FF folder in and changed the water settings and altered the config file to suit my res and it's broken it, what a farce.

FF couldnt have broken it, just amke sure you're not using CLod FF files instead of 46's.

As for .ini editing - I could send you mine (though mine is for nvidia)

EDIT. Just noticed you also need 4.11.1 patch, 4.11 was not the final one. ALso just checked, my 46 works perfect with exactly the same FF files.

FF is for CloD, "ForceFeedback" is for 46. Just to make sure you're using the right archive.
Otherwise- yeah its a pain installing all these patches....
Imo the best way is to launch the game after every patch to make sure its working. and maybe back it up after 3-4 patches...


Edit: And you're not using a steam version by chance? That thing (Il2:1946 on steam, not steam in general) is notorious for problems

Hi Borsch.

Got 46 to 4.11.1 and HSFX 6.0 can't say I can see a scrap of difference to vanilla (in terms of look etc) so far, the stick is easily the best I have used, and the fact its clearly never been used is a bonus.

I'm all set up to go on ROF too.

Downloading CLOD from STEAM right now, i have set it to install updates auto, but can you recommend some mods/patches etc to improve it?

Cheers.

Hi,
Told ya its a great stick ;)

Il2 mods- the only place where mods were an obvious improvement graphically were the cockpits, particularly on oldest Il2 models like bf-109s. I didnt bother with them after 4.11.1. And of course 4.12 is literaly weeks away, and mods will not work with it either;)

Clod- just update it to the latest version in steam. No mods for it, you can only install custom missions/campaigns and skins. THe only thing is to run FXAA injector equivalent on your AMD card as CLoD has no native AA (I know:rolleyes:)
 
Status update folks? Every now and then I check in on how the game is doing popularity wise and multi-player specifically. Hows the online community? Always ppl on? Game running stable?

^ So where are people going? Back to 1946? War Thunder?
I thought CloD was being patched up decently?

I'm playing 46 again, but I want track ir before I get serious. I think CLOD has been patched up pretty well, but they've finished with it now, the devs have been hired by the ROF people to produce another game, probably with the ROF engine.

CLOD just seems unpolished and unprofessional to me.
