It's possible, although TSHv3 overwrites the executable anyway.

I use the DX Tweaker and it works great off-line, but I was wondering if any of you know of a way to get JF-18 to launch from HyperLobby while using the DX Tweaker? It's kind of a bummer to have to connect by IP every time and it would be nice to find a work around for this.

If you use DXTweaker to launch hyperlobby, I believe the changes are also made to JF-18. It's worth a test...

I was getting the dreaded grid lines in the water while using the DX Tweaker, and I have found a work around for this problem.

Under modules to load, go to Preset Changer and change the format from...

Format: A8R8G8B8

to

Format: X8R8G8B8

This did the trick for me. My settings in game are at full, and now when I run the game I don't get any AA slow down and I don't get any grid lines in the water either. I don't know if any of you have figured this out yet or not, but this worked for me.

OS: XP

Vidio card: ATI X850

Hope this helps.

Hi there ,
I noticed some issues with the default settings in post 1.

1st : Mouse cursor gets flickering hard to find it on the screen, MDF buttons are not useable this way.

2nd : Due to i'm a JF18 Newbie , i hang around with the training missions. In the Refueltraining i recognized some jumpyness when you get close to the S3. First it moves not at all, and then suddenly this much, so that you cannot correct your course. Hard to explain....
Without DXTweaker i didnt saw this issue and tanker moves very smoothly.

My Motherboard and Video card just died.. anyways got the video replaced with an nVidia 8400GS

now i got the Air to Air Slowdown too. so a couple of questions what's the Juni update?

I got the DX Tweaker K from TSH website. Also, do i really need to get the DirectX 9.0c too? i only have the 9.0b

Yes, you definitely need DirectX 9.0c. The Juni "June" update was the latest update to the DX 9.0c. If you install 9.0c it will update you to the latest version, which is October. That will probably put you where you need to be.
