I totally agree with Jambo...its taken me quite a while to get the proper settings so I have more or less smooth performance ,but boy it is beautiful it somewhat limited.Probably what i might have said about original Il-2 Sturmovik.It too was head & shoulders above what had gone before & limited in aircraft available , maps , missions & campaigns...but 10 years later ( thanks to great modders really) look at what we have now! I do remember several necessary computer upgrades just to keep up with new official add-ons to the game ,not to mention the modders. Its been said before but worth mentioning : its taken 2 years to get Rise of Flight up to its initial expectations- it may take CloD the same amount of time ( really it was released too soon...) but after an exasperating amount of trial & error,I find it very involving & challenging( boy is it hard to hit things with 303 's!) I might say I stayed with it because of the third party CloD Vids which day after day proved it could be done.
Having said all of that I very much look forward to the next patch,new flyables,a new map or two & esp something to be done to improve FPS on all our rigs! :-?

I randomly took a few pictures, so it might help to have an idea:

Jambo ...where the heck are these missions with all these aircraft-have you been playing with FMB? I haven't seen them yet...heck I haven't seen actual personel on the fields yet either...maybe your visual settings are higher than mine? :roll:

[Jambo]

Hi Dietz :)

isn't it amazing? You're sitting in Seattle and I am in Germany - thousands of miles apart... and here we are! 8) :lol:

With one of the latest updates I've got these "Single Missions":
My actual version is: 1.02.14821



To see the Persons on the ground you have to edit your confs.ini - the one in your "C:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" folder - not the one in your game folder.

and insert this:

[BOB]
difficulty=9..
[sound]
SoundUse=0
speakers=-1
[core]
SpawnHumans=1
...
...

than you've got humans.

P.S. Correction: You may have to edit your config.ini in your game folder with the same entry!!! Sorry for the confusion! :oops:

Good luck!

Jambo :wink:

[Dietz]

I've got that version too so I can check these out...waiting for the patch that must be coming down the line soon,now that USA has the sim ( warts & all)Will patch up the config file & thanks!
I've seen your excellent work all over AAS,thought you might like to see what i do in my day job:

[Dietz]

Thanks guys -although Il-2 & now Clod & RoF & the modders who have made all of these sims so much more immersive,throw a little bit of a roadblock in the way of my efficiency...

HAH!!

That's the reason I know your name so well!!!! :lol:

Your pictures are really great! I do know quite a few of them,
i.e. 41st. Divison's Jungleers, Artic Convoy, Bataan Death,
Battle of Leyte Golf, Best on Deck, Desert Fox, Flying Tigers, Rommel...,
and many more!

It is truly an honor to have you around here! 8)

You may - nah, I would really love it - if you may put a few pictures from you in our midst!

Thank you very much for these two !!

Jambo :wink:

[Dietz]

I felt a little guilty doing so in this post as it was way off topic...but it sort of fit with your screenshots..sort of ...
BTW Don't you think one of the most amazing things about CloD is the incredible quality of the screenshots & some of the first Vids to be produced ,some of which are better than actaully playing the game ...almost...

Ah Hah! The way you got so many planes was by adjusting numbers in preview of mission...tell me are those big numbers hard on your FPS?

[Deutschmark]

Nice work you do Dietz ! seen many of your works great stuff.

Deutschmark

[Dietz]

Right back at you ,Deutschmark!

[Jambo]

I'm using this picture for years as my background picture in IL-2 in the English career menu. 8)

To play a bit with your FPS in CoD you may turn a few things of, like "grass", like "shadow"
and the reduce the "detail of buildings" from "very high" to "high"

I'm not really sure how all the items are labelled in English. Here is an example of my configuration:
Only in German - but "hoch" is high and "sehr hoch" is very high and the rest should looks equally in English (in other words) :lol:



Despite that my computer is quite good... :oops:

Dietz, no I can't call you like this any more - Mr. Dietz :) if you like - make a picture of your config, like my one
and I can have a look. And what specifications has your computer?


Mh, we might should split the lasts posts from this thread and make a new one?
Deutschmark? What are you thinking?

Jambo :wink:

[Dietz]

Jambo -perhpaps I should try PMing you...butI'll try my question here first regarding my early question about getting people into the ground scenes.I did as you suggested and added the new lines at the top of the proper config file and "saved " them.In turning on sim with Steam however, I didn't find the people.After several more gameplay sessions I rechecked the config flie & found the new lines you gave me were gone ,apparently deleted by Steam(?) or perhaps I needed to turn realistic settings up a notch?
I've got the sim up & running at a good average FPS & as I said at the beginning I really agree with you this sim is worth staying with!

[Jambo]

Hi, 8)

nope, didn't think you made an error - it might be my mistake. This morning I found in my game folder, in the conf.ini another entry with:

[core]
....
SpawnHumans=1


You may try this! :oops:

I made a few entries when I tried by "trial and error". After all - it works... 8)

Sorry for the confusion, Mr. Dietz! :)

Jambo :wink:

P.S. I did split this thread into two, look at post No. 1
