i have the same problem.I have a mix of mods (409b1+1.1).The first launch i have the taskbar and not works.Start+switch to desk+il2 again and all works. The second launch (and third, and fourth...) il2 works fine. I have tried all things suggested but not solved. Is there anybody with any other idea for solve? Thank's and sorry for my bad english.
Still another not-solving, but perfectly working workaround...
Open Notepad or anything else eating NO resources before starting IL2. If the mouse doesn't move during the blue loading screen, ALT+TAB out into Notepad and back into IL2. The mouse should be movable now.
Seems strange to me, though. A programm started should draw the focus to itself EVERY time, not just sometimes (as it is with my version - 4.09mb). Is there something in the setup.ini to change this?
thanks for your reply. It must be some conflict in the MODS 1.1 that I have adapted to 409b1 (I have not changed anything in the main folder because IL2 409b1 worked well).The strange thing is that if you first use some programs (p.ex. Nr2003 season) IL2 run smooth, while other programs have no effect on the first launch of IL2. Recognition of mouse and keyboard at first boot of il2? Conflict with some 1.1 mod ?MAh!However, it is more of a bother than a problem, fortunately. Sorry for google translation. :lol:
[quote="FWD-29"]I run IL-2 at 1600x1200 because that was the only resolution in the setup that gave me a full screen and not a letterbox screen, I run my desktop at 1280x1024.
I just edited my config file in IL-2 to force 1280x1024 and the game loaded perfectly first time.
S~
Seems like a problem with the resolution for the 4.09+mods, I did what my friend said, and it fixed me, perhaps it was coded by a bloke who used the same res setup, and the snafu comes if u don't use the same, the world may never know.
