Is there an issue with some textures of the Liberty ship?

 

 

[Juri_JS]

The "sight_eu_schifffahrtsmuseum" object from Il-2 GB was mistakenly added to Il-2 Korea.

Something is up with the landing gear wheels on the F-84, the tires don't seem to roll but the hubs do.

[Juri_JS]

I think the tree damage model needs some improvement. While cannons work great for tree chopping, bomb explosions and Napalm don't have much effect.

[ArgonV]

I have noticed that an initial burst of gun fire kicks up dirt or splashes on the terrain, but consecutive firing does not. If you stop firing, and do another burst - then you see the effect again.

[DetCord]

All of us with varying hardware are a experiencing the same issue with terrain, as in it isn't rendering and or streaming properly. Anyone else getting this?

[FuriousMeow]

Sprite limit or some kind of timeout? Firing .50s against the ground there will be the usual dirt/water kick up and then it stops. But its not like it stops and requires already displayed sprites to disappear, it just stops. A second later, they resume. Very odd. 

Latest nvidia drivers, Win11, 4080 super - 16GB, 32GB DDR5-6000, 9800x3d. On Ultra graphics, just about everything maxed, No upscaling enabled, MSAA 4x, FPS never below 80 from the test flight. GPU load average 80% according to HWinfo, graphics mem usage average 52%. System RAM usage ~8GB average. So doesn't look like I'm running low on anything. And installed on a PCIe Gen4 NVMe.

Noticing micro stutters too, but I will test different graphics settings. I can't recall the setting I enabled, its new. I'll jump back with an edit - advanced reflections or something. Maybe that's the source of the micro stuttering but overall performance is good and initially very impressed with the flight modelling and visual clarity from the cockpit - plus the graphics are a huge improvement over GB. EDIT: Just kidding, I thought I enabled Indirect Lighting, but I didn't. Enabling that definitely hits FPS big time. So that isn't it. Will play around with settings to see whats causing the micro stutters.

In the F-80 route training mission, there are a couple of fires burning in the air at K-45 (the airport you pass enroute) as you go by.  They're just hovering near the runway.

 

[FuriousMeow]

Trees jump up and down. Not sure if its LOD changes or something else, didn't get a chance to really pursue as cat decided throttle was his headrest and keyboard his footrest but its noticeable flying at ridges low level.

EDIT: This appears to be the terrain LOD swapping when using 120 FOV. Very noticeable when flying around K-14 the relatively flat terrain has large patches where trees "jump up and down."

Edit2: External view on runway at Kangwon really shows this. FOV < 90, pan around and not too bad except far ridge lines you'll see the trees happy dance. Go above FOV 90 - like 100 and pan around while watching near trees right beyond end of runway and how they dance/change.

Might be two different things going on but its very noticeable above 90 degree FOV.

Latest nVidia drivers for 4080Super running 3440x1440. Ultra graphics with just about all max except FXAA 4x now as MSAA too much performance hit with new engine.

With HDR enabled in windows, the colors in the game look completely washed out

I do. Using rx 6700xt 12gb.

[Notim_Portant]

On-Board gun camera effects not showing in track replays 

[Juri_JS]

The light effect doesn't disappear, when street lamps are destroyed by using "Translator Tiled Blocks Damage" for an area.

 

[Mark_Krieger]

Just a little detail, but the C-47 in the museum has the open radiators animation inverted. When you click to open them they close and vice versa.

[Habu]

The editor's map isn't displaying properly.

Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't

[Mark_Krieger]

F-51 when using napalm has the safety switches inverted and explodes in both positions. Not sure if perhaps could happen because it wasn't exactly a bomb, but the inverted switches feel strange. Thank you!

[Juri_JS]

Invisible parachute.

Volumetric clouds around the moon show weird shading. RTX2060, Low graphics preset.

They are not inverted but rather, the upward position is for chemical release. In reality the switches are spring-loaded, so the napalm tanks are meant to "explode" with the switch in the OFF position.

@LukeFF

I'm a bit confused. My understanding is that drop tanks were converted to have impact detonators, to use them to drop napalm. You wouldn't set the napalm on fire while still on the plane or in the air. You also wouldn't spray the napalm as an aerosol.

So I would think that this part of the manual refers to a feature to release chemical or biological weapons, rather than napalm. It makes sense that chemical or biological canisters would have a way to open those canisters to spray out the contents. Of course, chemical and biological weapons were not actually used in the Korean war.

Or are you claiming that the chemical release switch was used to arm the napalm canister, and that due to reusing this switch that was designed for something else, the napalm canister was armed by flipping the switch temporarily to 'chem. release' and then as the spring loaded switch returned to OFF, the napalm detonator would remain armed?

[LukeFF]

I'll try to find out a more concrete answer. It does seem that this is referring to the spraying of chemicals and not dropping of napalm.

[wuVR]

What a nasty thing, i think this Text might refer to AgentOrange, also later used in Vietnam
just very nasty

Also suffer from slow loading of LoD´s even though Korea´s on a fast m.2 ssd

Yes, upon further review, this does refer to smoke or spray tanks. It's been submitted for a change.
