Vonrd 1,673 Report post Posted May 19 This could be a major PITA: The devs have said that texture mods will have to have their alpha channels adjusted to the new renderer, so I suspect you´ll have some adjusting to do 1 Heinrich reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeFreest Larner 270 Report post Posted May 19 Doesn't it suck?! I just got done (or so I thought) with a big bunch of SPAD XIII skins to replace the outdated 3rd Pursuit Group pack. Among the big changes was a total re-worked and individual to every plane Alpha Layer. And then I saw THIS!!!! EDIT: Btw, @Vonrd and @Heinrich have you guys seen this yet? There's a Discord for IL2 Skinmakers, if you'd be interested in that sort of thing! https://discord.gg/p9J63v 2 3 Heinrich, Hess, Klaiber and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeFreest Larner 270 Report post Posted May 19 New update is out! I'm about to test it - I'll report back with alpha layer findings. S! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenMarkof007 662 Report post Posted May 19 S! Larner, I did the install and even with a restart of my computer, I never can go further than seeing a first screen and then going out of the game. I did a check with steam of the game and seem ok? Any help would be welcome... a good thing a did a backup of my game! Cheers, GenMarkof Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeFreest Larner 270 Report post Posted May 19 @GenMarkof007 I remember I had that issue a couple updates ago. IIRC there's a certain file you have to delete, but I don't remember specifics....I'll ask around for you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Larner, looking at the comments on the Il2 forum... many Steam users seem's to have the same issue at this time??!! Do you have the steam version ? Hope you can find what file I need to change. When I did the check integrity, it told me that one file was not good and that it would replace it? That might be the file you are talking about?

DeFreest Larner 270 Report post Posted May 20 @GenMarkof007 I don't have the Steam version myself, after a google search some Steam users say they fixed the issue by starting the game with game.exe within the IL2 folder, rather than from the desktop shortcut. Other than that, I don't know In terms of Alphas @Vonrd, the canvas all appears to look fine (really good, actually!) - the metal seems to have changed fairly significantly. I'd recommend giving your skins a quick scan-over in FC, but I flew a few different JG1 skins tonight and didn't notice anything really out of place! 2 GenMarkof007 and Klaiber reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still have to tweak the overall settings for the landscape but the Alphas looks good. 🥳 2 Klaiber and GenMarkof007 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other than that, I don't know It's all good now... 3dmigoto and reshade were the problem on my game opening with the new update!!! Someone said that the new version of Reshade do work?... I might try to install this new version. I did a flight with Hess last night with BF110, and we could stick together even when crossing clouds... was really a new experience for me!

I agree... skins look really good and the f%#kn "wet look" is gone! I wound up having to completely un-install the game and do a fresh install. Luckily I had done a complete backup of it before the update. 3 Britchot, GenMarkof007 and HotleadColdfeet reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
