Just turned 'puter on to do it...

It may be a while before I install though.

[Oberon]

I do like this little note in the beta release notes:

Told AI pilots not to commit ritual suicide when their leader crash-lands;

Least there's some humour in there.

[Dowly]

^ Hehe, gave me a chuckle. :DL

Aaand my custom skin, nothing fancy.

The game has greatly improved for me.

It now doesn't get past the little aircraft in gunsights loading screen... :damn:

Re-validating files and will try reapplying the thing...

Validate the files, clear the CloD cache and apply patch. Also, if you have any
custom .dll's in the CloD folder remove them too.

Most likely problem is you are using DirectX9 not DirectX10. In conf.ini under the [Window] section there is a value to change. It must read Render=D3D10_0 or else you'll get the crash before even getting to the Ubi video intro.

It might help to make sure you update your DirectX to 11 and make sure you have the latest video drivers for your card.

[HunterICX]

For me the Patch did great :yeah:
No crashes, played for about 2 hours non stop
Performance is good, no freezes and FPS stays good buzzing enemy bombers in a formation.

Shot down a Do-17 but do my poor management of my Spit I had to get a cold shower too :D

Great Success...

For me, the patch performance is...mixed. I think I'll need to dial back some of the graphics options because particles are a killer. When I nosed over at Hawkinge on RTB I fired the MGs into the ground and the dirt kicked up put my framerate riiiight down.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Managed to get past the 20 minute mark, but then chased some wellingtons over to France and spun, irrecoverably, after my third pass. With the Channel filling my view I jettisoned the canopy, nearly recovered and then lost it again, bailed. As I slowly drifted downward I suddenly heard a noise and another 109 shot past, then I heard him coming again.

Here he is, I like to think he noted my position and sent for help -

http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/6808/launcher201205110035139.jpg

I've a few issues still, I can still see a faint horizon through the front panel. Nose above the horizon I get no prop blur, but below I do. And undercarriage when t/o from the aerodrome to the East of Calais is like jelly, it veers to the left, left wing down all the way down the runway (or nearly on the runway) and if I'm lucky enough to make it off the ground for the first few feet it still makes the same noise as along the ground. :hmmm: Still, it's only a beta-beta patch :doh:

Danke, I'll copy those tomorrow/today and see how performance goes.

[GSpector]

The only problem I seem to have is with my "Saitek ST290 Pro" Joystick. When I fire the Machine guns, a few times I have to pull the trigger a few times just to get them to stop firing.

I may just need to take it apart and clean it out. which for me is great news. I just love having a reason to take things apart :D

I've seen...or should I say...done...a lot worse than that. Good landing all in all. Did you bend the carriage on landing or did it not fully deploy?

Well that's one of the things that happens when you bring her in just a little bit hot. I think I was still at 120 IAS when my wheels touched for the first time. She bounced hard three times before the UC gave out, and I just skidded down the runway. Just before I came to a complete-ish stop she nosed forward, and that was the end of my flight. Still a lot of fun.

Another day, another sortie. Came home with yet another Blennie downed.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Ok, running out of room in my current imageshack account so I've joined all these into one.

1. Approaching Oberon, haven't alerted him to my presence yet...
2. Think he may have seen me, or at least heard me shouting, 'Hellooo!' as I shot by.
3. Aside from Oberon, and about three 109s over Calais, the only other aircraft I saw in the air in about an hour and a half flying was a Spit on my tail - couldn't out manoeuvre, couldn't out run, eventually shot to buggery but then he broke off even though I was straight and level heading home. :doh: Anyhoo, had to ditch just off the coast.

Gee Otto, could that be the Enterprise (CV-6), you're taking off from or another Yorktown Class Carrier.

[hawk2495]

It looks more like the Saratoga. Note the end of an R and an A just forward of the Hellcat's port wing root.. She always had SARA painted on her after flightdeck to identify her. The Lexington had LEX. Other carriers I believe just had their registry number fore and aft.

[Herr-Berbunch]

And if that's taking off then the next shot is stalling before falling back and dying on the flight deck.

I should know.

Lovely shot, as always, Otto. :up:

[[501]Otto]

Thanks gents
Gee Otto, could that be the Enterprise (CV-6), you're taking off from or another Yorktown Class Carrier.

As Hawk said, it is the Saratoga

[GSpector]

Saratoga (CV-3), a very good ship indeed. Awards 7 Battle Stars during WW2 and survived (barely), kamakazi hits.

Now resting at Bikini Atoll. Shame, as of 2008, diving down to it is no longer available to scuba divers.

Is the size-limitation no longer working with ImageShack? I keep choosing 1280, but they alsways produce the 1650 of the original, just not as sharp .

[Arclight]

The ones above are 1280. :hmmm:

Why is the forum pushing them up in size, then? They reach from one side of my 1680-screen to the other - but not the pics by others, only mine. The zoom-frame around them does not work when the link got posted and the pics appeared.

Experimental: Is this image - the same - sharper? The others I have box-ticked to 1280 at Imageshack, this one I ticked weith 1650.

http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/4609/fsscr000g.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/27/fsscr000g.jpg/)

Boy, that pic above - "keep size", whcih is 1680 - reaches around 30 cm beyond my screen frame!?!? What's happening here? :timeout: :doh: :06:

[HunterICX]

Perhaps you're use a zoom of the browser? (hold ctrl and use the mouse scrolling wheel)
because on my 1680x1050 it's all fine.

HunterICX

[Skybird]

No. changing the browser'S zoom changes EVERYTHING, not just the pics.

The earlier pics that I ticked as 1280 at Imageshack, and that on my screen appear as slightly blurry (blown up) 1680 image - how big appear they on your screens, guys?

The lateats pic I posted for experimental purposes, seems to have a soize of - estimate 2200 or even much more. At Imageshack I ticked "keep size" when uploading it - the size of the originals is all 1650. (my screen size).

[HunterICX]

They appear normal on my end, right size and they're sharp in quality.

IMHO, $29.99 would've been a more appropriate price tag simply because P-51
doesn't have much to do when it comes to combat in DCS.

But, it's very nice to fly. Handles nicely, not too twitchy or too heavy, just right.

I would probably have survived the first round with the Manpads IF my egress hadn't taken me over a group of very angry Russians with rifles. Still, I hope I at least wounded one of the Manpads, when they missed me the first time I strafed where the trail came from with my GAU. :yep:

By the way, TF, did your graphics card reinstall fix the freeze ups? I found I managed to reduce the frequency by lowering the graphics settings a bit.

http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/1874/p51to.jpg

It's another beautiful model by DCS, just at the moment it handles for me like a kids helium-filled balloon in a wind tunnel. It's like I'm rolling the stick around in a circle, which I'm not. Ah well, it's late, tutorials are for another day. :)

[Dowly]

The take off is a PITA at times. :yep: Few things that may or may not help:

- The P-51 really REALLY wants to go to the left during take off, so either apply
rudder manually or use rudder trim. Think I read from somewhere that currently
the rudder trim knob has a bug and that the recommended 5 degrees right rudder
is actually much more, so use something like 2-3 trim.

- The tailwheel works as such: Pulling the stick back ties the TW to the rudder
controls, however it can only turn 6 degrees to each side. Moving the stick
forward unlocks the wheel and lets it move around freely, but without any
direct control over it.

The campaign is great for training, it starts you with start-up & taxiing and gradually
moves to more challenging stuff like crosswind take off & landing etc.

I know there's one being restored at Coventry airport, but don't know if it's for flying or not. Hope so.

Yeah after seeing the Shack I downloaded it and gave it a quick test flight in FSX. Its pretty fun though I need to get the griffon sounds. Whats the name of the file there on BritSim for the sounds?

[Herr-Berbunch]

Pass! I only found Britsim after your post, yesterday! Some good stuff, definitely need to reinstall FSX.

How did that happen? Doesn't look like combat damage. Did you get too close to your own bombs and got the fabric cover blown away (if that is possible in CoD)?

More likely an issue with a cheap graphics card :D

Its what happens when you shoot up a Welly with mainly AP rounds instead of incendiaries. :D

@Ajrimmer42, thanks for the link. I'll be givin the Shack plus a few other planes I recently got for FSX a go this weekend.

@TarJak, lol at the nosed He-111.

Now some screenys from my parallel French and German campaigns in ROF.

If that was you in that He-111 I'd expect it to be in similar condition to that R.E 8. Maybe not on fire but there'd have to be at least something broken on it.:yep:

Very nice Moon-shot.

I'd like to print it out to show a guy I work with. He told me today that he actually does not believe anyone's been to the Moon. He believes it was all staged at Area-51. Now that's funny.

Scary that I think this guy is not quite 50, but close.

I bet Neal Armstrong would have a few choice words for him, LOL

[eddie]

Feel free to print it, I made the shot using the Apollo addon called AMSO, which is used in Orbiter, a free spaceflight sim!

You could also show him this, a photo of the Apollo 11 landing site taken just a few months ago,lol

Still takes half my magazine to actually hit anything though...

I don't mind the S.E.5a that much as it quite stable, but I'd take the Pup over the Camel anyday espcially when I've got the LePrieur Rockets:D.

I was a big Pup fan in my "Red Baron 3d" days. A real delight to fly; my only big complaint was the single machine gun.

The Camel, on the other hand, was her evil big sister. Two guns, but a vicious stall-killed me almost as often as she killed the Germans! :rotfl2:

[Oberon]

I picked up the Pup during my time playing Phase 2 of Over Flanders Fields, I did fly the SE.5 a couple of missions but preferred the Pup.
Had the pleasure of meeting the real thing face to face a few years ago in London, lovely aircraft.
She'll stall more easily than I expected at first in ROF, but the trick is listening to the noise of the wind going past the cockpit, if it all goes quiet then be sure to point the nose down at some point in the near future or it'll take itself there! :haha:
The one MG is very annoying though, but forces you to follow the Dicta Boelcke number 3 to the letter. The Camel is nice, with two MGs and a very impressive flying ability...but is as lethal to the pilot flying it as it is to the enemy. They didn't call it 'The widowmaker' for nothing! :haha:

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Yeah the Camel is a devish plane to fly because of the huge amount of tourque generated by the rotory engine. Mind you that any machine having two guns in RoF is always going to be somewhat better off in a furball.

It is 1945, mostly a free reign over the country, Allies advancing from every direction.

Thats a quirk of the track player. Sometimes for some unknown reason it shows aircraft with markings even though in game they didn't have them and were skinned. :doh:

I'd be more concerned about the four Spitfires on his tail :doh: (unless they were AI in which case they most likely collided with each other shortly after the screenshot was taken)
They were AI but their behaviour was pretty good in that they didn't run into me or themselves at all!

Here's a fuller account of what happened:
Took off from Devres and headed to Dover to kill some ships:

Flak cut the hydraulics to my right leg making handling a little tough:

As I pulled out of my attack run I was joined by some unfriendlies:

I then dived for speed and ran like a girl across the channel:

Strangely when we hit French Point, they turned around and went home:
