Let's make this a FAQ thread.

It's a hidden window. Hold ALT and select it with RMB. Then RMB again and select option to hide window.

Same command as original IL2. Shift + Tab opens command prompt. Type "fps START SHOW". Type "fps STOP HIDE" to disable.

################################game options###################################

Is there a Force Feedback settings?

There is no FF setting in game. You can change conf.ini to turn on/off FF.

[rts_joystick]
FF=1 (default =1)

*G940 users, use window's game controller to lower centering spring FF.

Is there a way to disable 'head-roll'?

In realism options, disable "head shake".


Is there a volume control in this game?
There is no option in the game for that. Therefore use your speaker knob to change volume or system's volume mixer.

##################################STEAM####################################

Can you choose an install location or does it automatically place it in the Steam folder?

Game is installed in a steam folder and under C:/users/... You can not change that. Therefore install Steam in a desired place such as different drive or directory. My STEAM is installed in my 'game' hard-drive.

you should add the epelepCy option...

I have questions!

1: How to enable AA? I've tried everything from trying to force it through the card, app controlled, 3rd party apps, magic spells, child sacrifice, everything.

2: How to enable V-Sync? See above.

3: IS THERE A VOLUME CONTROL IN THIS GAME, IF SO WHERE?



Thanks!

Does more ram makes a difference. Will 12 megs see an improvement over 4 megs of ram? I've heard it won't make any difference.

RAM in general doesn't increase FPS. It reduces loading times and prevents stutters caused by texture/object loading.

Furthermore, in order to actually use more than 3+ GB of RAM the game has to be coded as a 64 bit application. AFAIK CoD currently does NOT provide a 64 bit executable.

And even then performance difference is probably marginal, as with the 32 and 64 bit versions of DCS:A-10c.

Is there a way to disable 'head-roll'?

Handy resource here too

Oh, wait a second. I did this already....anyone know how to get rid of the red/blue subtitles that cascade down the screen?

Perhaps the old way of doing it in Il2 still works?

Tried it thanks! There's no entry for NoSubtitles in the conf.ini (or anything similar); I tried adding one but no joy.

Can you choose an install location or does it automatically place it in the Steam folder?

Mine's in the Steam folder....don't remember being given an option.

Oh dear, more messing around for SSD's with limited space

Footprint is only 4 gigs at the moment.

Try the mklink command to create a NTFS symbolic directory link

At the risk of obsessing too much, and revealing myself to be IT-clueless, can I ask about the antiepepcy line?

Is "AntiEpilepcy=0" the same as "AntiEpilepcy = 0" (with spaces surrounding the "equals" symbol)?

Thanks.

[By the way, my faith in SimHQ is slowly being restored. The "community" seems to getting to it, approaching CloD as a problem which needs to be solved collectively and constructively. A real community (in a virtual sense of the word). There's the odd breakout of Tourette's and I-dance-on-your-grave-ism, but things around here are becoming exciting! S! to Sim, Frog, Lixma and the other pathfinders with patience and intelligence.]

Nevermind....i'm an idiot. Sims advice was in fact what I was looking for.

Yes, that's my point.

FACT. It came out FAR before it was ready.

I've tried the epilepcy line both ways but have seen no difference with either.
