That's right. If you have B.A.T. you no longer want CUP. Delete it.

IL-2 should not run from your Windows "Program Files" folder. Move your games to C:\GAMES\IL-2\ in example. This probably solves the problem you have setting the right resolution. Make also sure your conf.ini is not set to read-only. Follow the link provided by vampire_pilot to get good conf.ini settings.

And remember, B.A.T. is being developed as an offline super-mod. Some parts may not play well online. Take anything working in multi-play as a bonus. Don't bother asking about online compatibility, B.A.T. is not meant for online play.

Have fun ;)

One step at a time Whistler, one step at a time !! This is a major operation for me, with a lot to take in, and understand (or try to). Having been retired for 3 years, some days I don't know whether it's Tuesday, or King's Cross station.!! Your comment about CUP illustrates to me just how long I've been out of the loop, so to speak. A massive upgrade like CUP, and already it's 3 years old. Anyway, I'll get back here once I get BAT up and running. Thanks to all.

OK, so BAT is up and running. Just one problem, I'm getting abysmal frame rates.

Windows Pro 64bit SP!
AMD Phenom II Black 6 1090T
32 Gig DDR3 @ 803 MHz RAM
Gigabyte GA-990X Gaming MB
Twin Nvidia GTX 970 vid cards

Sat on the ground, in cockpit, I'm only getting 10 - 15 fps. With my specs I don't think I'm being unreasonable in expecting a bit more than that. I've spent days reading through the forums, trying every suggestion I could find regarding tweaking the config file, but nothing seems to give any improvement. If anybody has anymore suggestions as to what else I can try, I would be very much obliged. Thank you in advance. P.S. Game is installed in separate folder, and not in Program files.

BAT WAW tends to show FPS issues, especially on some missions where lots of actors are active at the same time.
We call it the "Java Wall".
Nothing particular you can do if you happen to hit it and to make matters worse, the dreaded "Java Wall" doesn't kick in at the same time for everyone, and when it does, it's severity can range from "single digit frame rates" to "barely noticeable".

Anyway, stand by for BAT 3.6, it'll hold a nice surprise for you ;)

Question:

My ancient 4.10.1 & #DBW & UV3 has a size of 136 GB. Why do not I notice anything about a Java wall?

B.A.T. 3.6 and surprise? Now I know what I have to do the next days.  ;)

Size doesn't matter.
Your folder is such big because of all the skins. They don't matter at all.
Actually DBW and UP3 were the first games where plane slots have been limited due to the Java Wall.
That's why some previously separated slots got merged, e.g. on the 109 slots you will find the 109 K-6 and K-14 as separate slots in UP3, but not in DBW (where they are loadout options of the K-4 instead).
Reason was that DBW was supposed to be a mod-friendly offliner version of UP3 and as such, it should have a couple of slots free for user-selectable mod planes.

Now compare the number of planes in DBW to the number of planes in BAT WAW and you see why the Java Wall kicks in so badly on BAT.

Anyway... wait for BAT 3.6 ;)

Danke Mike,

natürlich habe ich nicht diese Unmenge an Flugzeugen und Mods in meinem DBW.

Niemals fliege ich freiwillig Hubschrauber, Doppeldecker oder Jets.

Was soll ich also mit einer solchen Riesensammlung wie B.A.T. anfangen?

Ich fliege doch immer nur die Bf-109F-2  ;)

Ich rede doch nur von WAW, keine Jets, Doppeldecker und keine Helis.
Sind trotzdem 1200 Flugzeuge.

I respect you, so no cookie for you, just a cup of coffee of your choice.  ]coffee[
