VanOwen posted:How painful is playing with Steam? I used to fly ME109s in BFE and kinda miss it. I know IL can use my trackIR and all that. Not sure if steam will cause nothing but tears. Steam is fine as IIRC it is just the game. If you export it out of the Steam folder Steam will never touch it. Don't leave it in the Steam folder if you patch though, as it will try and "fix" it when a new patch rolls out. Pretty sure this is still the case. Edit: Steam

40 OZ posted:I've only played ww2ol, and I use aerilon trim (is this a mistake?) and have never used rudder trim. Should I be using rudder trim or aerilon trim at all, as a new player? Rudder trim, but the 109 shouldn't have it, or aileron trim for that matter. It was trimmed on the ground for cruise.

If you have both use both, but rudder is the main focus. Trim the rudder so the ball is in the center of the slip gauge. Use aileron trim to relieve pressure on the stick once the ball is centered. Most of the time you will only have rudder trim, so I'm just used to holding the stick to counter the roll movement when at anything other than cruise. If the ball is not centered you are losing energy for no gain. British planes have a tilting indicator for the slip gauge, works the same way.

One of my first experiences in IL2 was a US fighter over wake with manual gear. I didn't know it was manual gear and was really, really unimpressed with the things speed. Then I figured that out and it really didn't go a whole lot faster with the gear up either... F2 if I remember correctly.

Hav posted:This helps a lot. I'm currently using the X52 (with the LEDs turned *off*) and did try to bind trim to some of the throttle wheels, but that seems a bit fiddly. Would a hat be better on the joystick? Is my only feedback about the current trim going to be the airframe moving (no trim indicators?). For trim on the x52 I put it on the top left hat on the stick. Rudder/elevator only. Aileron can be on the keyboard as it's not as necessary, and most planes don't have it anyway. To trim what you want to do is keep the plane in unaccelerated flight with stick/rudder and then trim out the "pressure" you put on the stick. For changing conditions I usually just trim for cruise and leave it there, and all planes are trimmed for cruise on takeoff in IL2 IIRC. Those trim wheels are pretty bad, the only thing I use them for is zoom in a-10c

What Camera are you using, are the drivers compatible? I got something like that with the PS3Eye and the wrong drivers, needed an older one.

Blistex posted:I'm using the PS3Eye as well. Could you shoot me a link to the drivers you are using? I'm using the newest ones, so that might be the issue! This is the older one that works fine for me: http://www.codelaboratories.com/files/archive/CL-Eye-Driver-5.0.1.0520.exe http://www.codelaboratories.com/files/archive/CL-Eye-Driver-5.1.1.0176.exe Got them from here: http://forum.free-track.net/index.php?showtopic=2416&page=5 When I start Freetrack I have to open Stream and hit ok, then start the camera. Works every time but if I don't do it there is a chance the preview on the left doesn't start and shouts about a memory error. I can't find a reason for it other than *FreeTrack*.

Did they ever fix the mediocre performance even on computers that met recommended spec? I bought it on release, cause I was gullible enough to tell myself that they would fix it, and haven't played it since then.

Bitter Mushroom posted:I've been an IL-2 fan since I was 11 years old, I love it dearly but haven't played it in about 5 years. Why is Cliffs of Dover so bad then? What exactly went wrong In short: It ran like poo poo, lacked many features, and had basically no fun put it in at all. It was so bad that last time I looked, 1946 had more people playing.

Is it just going to be stock(4.12)? I'm not sure I can make it as I have half-assed plans, but I'll get set up for the future either way. Edit: Is there any good torrents for 4.12? Steam seems to still be on 4.10.1 or something. The 4.12 Torrent link from 1C forums is broken, Mission from today links to mediafire which then refuses my account for some reason(although I can log in fine), and the other site listed will take 2 hours at least. Superedit: Ah man, it has been years since I played this. Put a A6M2-21 against a F2A, forced it to crash, went landed, took off, then proceeded to try and test the critical angle of attack while below 500ft, Found it, and then the ground shortly after.

Blistex posted:I'd love to get in on this now that I have a PC that can run IL-2, mumble, and Freetrack all at the same time, but for the life of me I can't get freetrack to work with Windows 7 (same problem as earlier in the thread). I was reading the freetrack forums, and they mentioned hitting stream first, then start to the game then start freetrack, but I can't get freetrack to see what my PS3 Eye can see. Maddening since it worked without a hitch on my old laptop. Use FaceTrackNoIR with the pointtracker plugin. Everything about it seems great, and the Accela filter works much better than the smoothing that freetrack used. IIRC Freetrack was abondoned years ago, unless something has changed.

ShineDog posted:Does this mean I'll be able to fly in relaxed engine management mode and not have an identicle fighter power away from me? It'll probably still power away as simple engine management is really, really bad in some planes. You should learn complex though, since without it you screw yourself in several situations. Just grab a C or D Corsair and try keeping the engine RPM right on 2700 the whole time, that thing gets cruising when you do that. There used to be a manual(spreadsheet?) with all the planes best RPM settings, don't know if that still exists. Just think of the prop pitch like a transmission ratio, as that is how IL2 seems to model it anyway.

pixelbaron posted:I like how TB-3's would transport paratroopers and the paratroopers would literally have to cling to the sides or the wings of the plane for dear life until they got to their drop. I made a mission in OFP that revolved around this, except it was the Camels that could have two guys hang onto the wing. It was terrible.

Bubbacub posted:How is flak and AA modeled in BoS? In Il-2, the mechanic of simulating a lot of AA guns with one or two really accurate guns due to CPU limitations always felt a little weird. I remember the first time I tried to make a level boming mission in IL2 I loaded up like 100+ guns to our ~20 bombers. It lagged like hell and we all got shot down before we could even drop.
