Hi persons,
My game is now enormous, when I start it up for first time it takes ages...to do anything...
..and strangely the keyboard controls don't work in game unless I go to task manager and exit straight back to game..???
I think Mike S put out a little file to enable a speedier load time??
Which I thought I had d/l..can someone pls point me to that file.
Many thanks for all you do.

The first loading time will be long. But subsequent load times after quitting and restarting are much shorter. Which as a modder who FREQUENTLY must quit/restart when fiddling with classes is the main thing!

If you are using a monitor connected via Display Port - try this. Game loading time will be slightly shorter. I use it with Windows 7 - it works.

I'm already using Display port. My monitor is G-Sync 2560x1440 @165Hz..0.5 ms response time.
Guess the first load-up of the game is the same for most of us, especially if it's heavily modded.
Thanks.

I think the "first loading" time is long in any IL-2 installation but is more noticeable in the larger packages as BAT.
In my BAT 4.2.3, the difference between the first and subsequent launches can be 30-40 seconds.

I'm not sure about the keyboard controls, I probably didn't understand the question.

Thanks Kelso. That actually was the file I was thinking of.
And the keyboard..on the first game load up, when I go into a mission then try to use the keyboard, all the keys which I have set/binded in the "controls screen" don't work. I'm  ctl/alt/del to Task manager and just click on cancel to return to the game , and they work.

What Kelso wanted to say is especially that if you are using a DisplayPort monitor, you should use that mod:

Except for when you're on latest BAT. In that case it's included per default.

BTW you can easily identify the issue which is supposed to be solved by ScreenMode mod when you check when/where the game gets stuck.
If it starts at 50% load status (not just at 60%, that's a big difference), then it's a ScreenMode issue.
If the startup is smooth up to 60%, then you're having another issue.

Thanks, I will keep an eye out for any of those issues
