Cliffs of Dover Help !

Public IL-2 Cliffs of Dover
1

I have a couple of problems that Iv’e not sorted yet.

Arming aircraft doesnt seem to make any difference, I still get these two silly lines of tracer (although the ricochet effect off the water is good)

How can I have no tracer or all tracer

and German Aircraft still fly with italian markings, I cant seem to alter that either

am I stupid ? am I not doing something obvious ?

any help would be nice

You can edit your load out and swap out the offending tracer belts for De-Wilder or incendiary ammo. You can change your convergence here as well.

Unfortunately you can’t do this on quick missions unless you do it from the main menu in the options/plane screen.

Online and campaign missions work fine.

All this is saved on your user config file in Documents/1CSoftclub/il2 folder

You can see the settings for each plane and gun. I can post up my settings if you like, I use 200 yards convergence and no tracer.

German aircraft/Italian markings is the same principal.

yes that would be nice keets, then I can just copy yours :slight_smile:

Thanks Keets, sorry to say it has’nt worked, still two lines of white tracer and now no markings on the Spitfire

I wonder if my game install is defective

6

There’s something else…

Have you got the Steam cloud synchronisation turned off in Steam?? To check, right click go to properties, I think it’s either the first or second tab.

Disable it.

You might then need to reapply the changes to the file.

7

Thanks Keets I’ll try that

@Keets can i save your settings in the EAFwiki??

9

@Phil - this is the checkbox I mean

@Jimmi - course it is mate. I’ll post up the rest of the settings I use for the other allied aircraft if it helps.

Phil,

I’ve just tried Single missions and Quick missions and it ignores your weapon loadout.

I’ve not tried the campaign missions, but online it definitely works. Not much help to you I guess.
