[AlphaGunman]

Fuck it.
Should I just reinstall?

[QUOTE=AlphaGunman;13310743]Fuck it.

Well.. the order is: First install game, then patch it to 4.08m, then install AAA, and to play online you press the "change to 4.08m from 4.09" .bat file in the IL2 folder.

[AlphaGunman]

First install game. [B]Okay.[/B] Patch it to 4.08m. [B]Fine.[/B] Install AAA. [B]What folder?[/B] Press the "change to 4.08m from 4.09" .bat file in the IL2 folder. [B]If you installed 4.08m, where the hell did 4.09 come from??[/B]

AAA is also installed in the IL2 default folder.

From what I've understood, 4.09 is the "AAA version", which I'm not sure is official. So you press the .bat to go back to 4.08m because nearly all publics use it.

[AlphaGunman]

For me, the default folder is the steam folder, right?

[Orkel]

[QUOTE=AlphaGunman;13310994]For me, the default folder is the steam folder, right?[/QUOTE]

The folder you installed the patch in.

[AlphaGunman]

And I install the patch in the folder that the game is installed in, riiight?

[Codey]

Ok, so when I start Il-2 from steam it says that it's v4.08m, right.
And when I join a server from HyperLobby it says that it's v4.07, therefore I can't join the server.
Anyone got any suggestions?

Join a server with 4.08m -_-

[Failure]

I don't buy games on steam that was not made by valve :D

I bought IL 2 1946 in Russia :)

The order should be like that -

Original game have 4.07 patch or 4.05. Don't remember.
Then you patch it to 4.08.
After patching you install AAA.
Now the game is in 4.09 version, which means you can use TrackIR.
So open il folder and run the unpatcher, to patch game to version 4.08.
If you still can't figure out, I suggest getting game on e-bay or shit.

[Codey]

[QUOTE=Orkel;13311130]Join a server with 4.08m -_-[/QUOTE]

What I mean is that even though I join a server with 4.08m, it's just like the version of my game changes to 4.07m.

[Longy]

Well? Does anyone have any tips for me?

\Steam\steamapps\common\il 2 sturmovik 1946

And why not buy games on steam?
You won't find il2 package anymore in stores, you won't get discount in stores and steam supports mods for non source games.

[QUOTE=kirderf;13311564]Well? Does anyone have any tips for me?[/QUOTE]

force feedback is the best you can get. but comes at a price.
Instead of springs it uses motors to push back dynamicly.

[QUOTE=kirderf;13311564]Well? Does anyone have any tips for me?[/QUOTE]

Well a new joystick that costs a lot is obviously going to have more advantages than one that's 10 years old. Just look around the net and read some descriptions for joysticks. I used the Saitek X52 Pro, take a look at that, kind of pricey but worth it in my opinion.

[Failure]

I don't like getting "unvalved" games from steam, because there is almost always problem with patching.
Also this game can be found in internet stores, and it does not cost that much, if you already have joystick and computer.

I have Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold.
I bought it when IL 2 came out. It is old as fuck, but it does the trick.

[Sami-ph34rz]

i just noticed il2 has full forcefeedback support.
When you fire your cannons you will feel it.

[Failure]

I don't need force feedback to feel the cannons.
I just turn my volume and bass to maximum. I can feel it. Glass on my desk too.
:D
Also, what's up with tic's server?

[Albatross]

Hey guys, I can't get the shiny fancy water, even though I edtitted the conf.ini
what do i choose in the Video Options? OpenGL or DirectX, cause I'm using DirectX atm

You have to have Open GL otherwise it won't work.

Direct X doesn't support the 'Perfect' setting in the options.

[Orkel]

I've used a Microsoft Force Feedback II, for many, MANY years now. And I love it. Probably not up to par with the newest sticks, but as I've never used another joystick than this one, I can't compare it to any better ones. So for me it's an awesome joystick.

[Orkel]

When is the server going up, TicTac?

[AlphaGunman]

Joysticks just look uncomfortable to me, might be because I'm lefthanded :/

Then this is the one for you: [img]http://www.sharkyextreme.com/img/2003/11/saitek_evo/evo.jpg[/img]

You can change the handle so lefthanded people can use it too.

[Sami-ph34rz]

[QUOTE=AlphaGunman;13312140]Joysticks just look uncomfortable to me, might be because I'm lefthanded :/[/QUOTE]

There's some joysticks that don't have a special uber grip on them.

Also, anyone knows where to find a joystick that looks like a real ww2 era joystick?

[Failure]

Here is my config.ini.
I don't remember my water settings so I am pasting whole.

I use a Logitech Attack 3, pretty cheap, and works for both left and right handed. Lefthanded wins cause you can use your mouse at the same time :3

Ugh, why the fuck won't IL2 detect my mouse or keyboard.

FUCKING FUCK FUCK.
I did everything everyone here suggested, still doesn't work.
