Cliffs of Dover released

I'm keeping my hopes up that these problems will be fixed. It seems that developers are taking the feedback seriously, which is nice. We'll wait and see...
 
Well I am not having problem getting it to run. I do have other issues however, controls just stop working in the middle of a flight, the sound is just awful as are the gun effects,the mouse clickable VC is hard to use because the mouse pointer is all over the place, the aileron trim doesn't seem to work, very hard to keep your wings level,controls take forever to set up, just to name a few that I have found. Guess it goes in the not used pile till the patches come out. Back to Pacific Fighters,CFS3 and ROF untill then. Too bad because the modeling is great the water is nice and sun effcts are good too. Patience is a virtue Patience is a virtue Patience is a virtue.
 
Wait a minute: Is this BOB?

mind you ... first announced nearly 7yrs ago .... you'd have thought in that time they coulda been able to at least make it run smooth and support more than 4 gigs of ram !:monkies:


I'm a bit confused. Is this BOB SOW? BOB SOW was announced years ago. It looks like this is IL-2 but in BOB. I figured they were just sitting on BOB SOW until computers got faster so it wouldn't look like such a dog. They put this sim in as a stop-gap so they wouldn't run out of money while waiting.

Yes, Il-2: Cliffs of Dover is Storm of War: Battle of Britain. The name change is reportedly a marketing decision by UbiSoft.

And UBI has made some pretty lame marketing decisions lately. SH5 was the latest one before CoD.
 
I am having probs getting it to work. i can get to the menu screens and navigate but when i clcik fly, I get no video. I got latest nvidia drivers and put options settings to low. i know it says 512 vid card but can it run with 128 somehow. i am cash strapped. thx.

pc specs:
os vISTA SP2 32-BIT
1Tb HARD DRIVE EXTERNAL
Intel core 2 duo cpu e4500 2.20ghz,2.20ghz
128 mb nvidia geforce 8300 GS vid card

The minimum system requirements call for a 512 MB Nv8800 or Nv9800 card and that is the bare minimum. The 8300GS was not really a gaming/simming card to begin with, I doubt there is any way of making Il2:CoD run on it.
 
A 550 watt PSU is still pretty marginal these days, I'd say 650 to 750 watts is a better solution, allows more options with video cards and over clocking or upgrading your CPU and RAM. The GTS 450 is not a great card. It's "ok", but a GTX 460 is far better.

Hi, tans. Thks fr getting back to me. i will probably do as you say but I have question. i never changed the power supply before on this pc, If i get the 700w, will it work with this HP pc? My specs are above in the thread, but will I have to upgrade anything else if i get this power supply? Can i juts gethe the ps and the vid card you mention and it will work or do I need to chaneg anything else? pleas let me know. Thx. I just wanna make sure its just those 2 parts as i am on a limited budget.

HP has been known to use power supplies and motherboards specially made for them. You need to be sure that another power supply will physically fit the space, mounting holes line up correctly and that it has power connections that will fit your motherboard.

yep...i have a hp/compac and put a 550w ps in it...but it just barely fit...

i'm having launcher crashes purty regular with CoD since the last patch...i'm just about through messin with it until i can completely upgrade.
 
I purchased CloD this past weekend from justflight.

Incredibly disappointed doesn't even begin to describe my feelings about this game. It's going to take some monumental work on 1C/Ilya's part to get this game to being a well-rounded and PLAYABLE sim.

Anyways, I just purchased ROF:ICE today, so I'm going to give that one a chance while CloD collects dust waiting on a patch.

Well, I don't want to say "I told you so". It is now a lot better than when it was first released, so that gives you an indication of how bad it was!
