Awesome effects you've worked up there m8. The effort you guys have put into modding IL2 is fantastic and has blown the dust off of many shelved 1946 boxes. I'm one of those who has rediscovered IL-2 because of the work you put into making it - IMHO - so much better.
Every rose has it's thorn and unfortunatly, strange things are happening when using the hit effects mod.
When my 50's land a hit on a target aircraft, my screen blanks to black for a second and the game stops in it's tracks for 3-5 seconds. During those 3-5 seconds I see everything in low res (640x480 or something like that) and I get incremental flickering of the screen. It's as if I had paused the game, changed the resolution on the fly and beaten my monitor.
Once things start moving again, the resolution returns to normal (1152 x 864) and my aircraft has drifted away from where I was when I originally fired my shots.
I disabled all other effect mods (using -) to make sure it's not a conflict with another mod elsewhere that may be using a same file. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to work this out myself. Other effect Mods have worked together without a hassel (for example - those that SG2_Wasy uses in his special effects pack (SEP)).
FYI - I'm using an ATI card. Buffy once had a problem with his v5 of the Flak Mod. It seems that ATI cards can't handle textures at 36x36 resolutions. Tuning it down to 32x32 cured the black flickering effect (I had it as well). Maybe my ATI's problem with your hit effects is along the same line?
