    Engine Info Window only shows Throttle

    Hi,

    Since a week ago my engine info window only shows the throttle and nothing more.

    I do not know what exactly I have done when the controls disappeared. I only remember to be moving the mouse along the screen over the engine info window while clicking on a button.

    After that I have tried everything to get back the other items of the engine info window without success. The only control that shows is the throttle control.


    I thank you for any help.

    If you haven't resized the border of the window (Alt + L Mouse to make window active), then you might be flying with different realism setttings (complex engine management off etc.).

    When you see only the slider (or %) for throttle, in

    Options > Realism > Engines

    Complex Engine Management
    Engine Temperature Effects

    Are not ticked.

    I have only five realism options not checked:

    - No AI Control
    - No Outside Views
    - No Object Icons
    - No Map Icons
    - No Map Path

    So, the problem must have another cause.

    Thanks for your help.

    As I answered to 1lokos, I have only five realism options not checked:

    - No AI Control
    - No Outside Views
    - No Object Icons
    - No Map Icons
    - No Map Path

    I am decided to reinstall the game.

    Thanks for your tips!

    Re: Engine Info Window only shows Throttle

    Your issue can really be only a few things.

    1)
    Offline. - > realsim settings
    Online - > realism settings of the server (check the realism of the server you play on)

    2)
    digital % not showing data -> move throttle to check

    3)
    info window to small to show more -> as I stated - L Mouse to activate info window -> click on border and resize the window.
    If you want to reset all your Info Windows, find the "[ChatWindow]" section in the file "confUser.ini" in "\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" folder and delete the text below "[ChatWindow]" until another section (it is the last section in my file).


    Sorry my error - just deleting the text will remove any window. However your standard info windows will be still in the Steam folder.
    So for reseting info window without losing controls - you might want backup your current "confUser.ini" in "Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" folder first
    Now go to your "Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover Blitz" confUser.ini file, copy the text of "[ChatWindow]" section and replace it on your current confUser.ini in "Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" folder.

    Make sure that your game is closed and won't overwrite anything when you restart the game.




    Reinstall will do nothing for this issue - if you want to try a complete reset - delete the "Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" folder.
    I highly discourage doing that as you have to do all your settings and controls over again.
    On occasionally graphic issues you may just delete the cache in that folder or reset the graphics deleting the "conf.ini" file.


    Good Luck

    Be sure that when you have the Engine Info window open you move one of the controls in the window such as the throttle, pitch, or rad, otherwise they won't appear.

    Look if you don't have another "Info Window" borders overlapping "Engine Controls"

    Thanks to 1locos, farley and Tibsun for your help.

    I just had to move one of the controls and the complete engine info windows appeared.


    Thanks!
