i don't fly mustangs often so I don't know when it started...but

[SVHAK]

I remember a very similar post, with mustungs as well, problem was solved I think, make a search if you can. :wink:

[SVHAK]

Hi

made the search & found it!! This is how he sorted this issue, check the link as well for full info:

after that i compared both conf.ini files with each other to see which entry could possibly cause this alteration
under opengl the differences were texcompress, forest, water and visibility distance, so i changed them to my old values and after restarting il2 the mustang canopy was again covered with dots
to see how completely different values affect the graphics i set TexCompress=1 to TexCompress=2 and that finally did the trick, everything now looks fine

good luck :wink:

I win!





So, WTF? This only appeared after I instlled the Slot, coincidentally. I don't have any mods affecting the F4U-1A as far as I know (are there any?).

But from inside, it works just fine.

Hi,

Stop smoking cigars inside of cockpit!!

:lol: :lol:

[RAF_Magpie]

lol

Question, does it stay like that when you have the canopy open?

[saunders1953]

Are you kidding, Magpie? If I open the canopy, all the cigar smoke will be sucked out!

Actually, are you kidding, Magpie? The F4U-1A canopy doesn't open...or at least mine doesn't. I don't think it ever did, did it? I just tried the 1D which when I fly the F4U, that's the one I use. That canopy doesn't open either.

[Murph]

They open for me...

[FA_Cheech]

Same here.

[saunders1953]

Well now, that's interesting! :? (I seem to have a vague recollection of them opening myself, but I rarely flew the F4U much before.) I wonder if it is related to the fact that way more than 1/2 the time, I can't get the seat to raise in the Wildcat or Zero. That goes back to before I started using the mods last November--since whenever it came out (4.05?). I have played around with the joystick mapping, etc., and most of the time it just doesn't raise. Sometimes it goes from being able to raise to not from one mission to the next.

Where the hell do I even start looking for a solution to these two issues?????? All my utilities, add-ons, and mods--everything work fine, no prob.

The smoke in the cockpit is historically accurate. F4U's came with a cigarette lighter.

To open your cockpit you need to toggle gunsight view off - shift f1

[RAF_Magpie]

If that isnt the problem, and your install has gone all hickeldy-pickeldy, I would suggest perhaps, maybe, doing a re-install from scratch...

[saunders1953]

fisneaky, that's happened before, and it was the problem. But I have all my controls mapped to the the stick, rudder & throttle and can toggle off/on easy, but that's not it this time. I just restarted and now it works fine. (Well, the cigar dropped in my lap and it's getting awful hot in here!) I didn't mess with gunsight toggle at all. :?

Bite your tongue, Magpie! I went through, I think, 6 complete reinstalls when I first got the mods and then right after got a whole new rig. I was getting very good at it, but with the tons of mods and little tweaks and stuff, I just don't think my constitution is up to it right now. Doesn't anyone have a magic wand maybe? Failing that, magic mushrooms would probably make me not really care. And the Slot would look even more AWESOME!

[Fisneaky]

The cigars are good , but they really mess with my trackIR

or he has been smokeing weed lol :o
