Mike,
First and foremost, thank you very much for the upgrades. I appreciate the work that went into this.
I have one problem I hope you can help with.
I use the Saitek x-45 contoller. There is a LONG lag between a joystick keypress and the function being performed.
I ran the DXT controller, and that seemed to go well, but I still have the lag. I wonder if the problem is in the Juni update. It downloaded and unzipped to the f18 folder. However, I couldn't open it to run it, as I can't find it! Basically, I'm asking I need to do something with Juni, or does it autorun when you unzip it.
If I do have to do something, what do I do and how do I find it? If not, then do you have any ideas?
Again, thank you very much for the work that went into this.
Joe

Controller lag can usually be remedied by changing the executable priority. Either use THSv3, or
- start JF-18
- ALT+TAB to the desktop
- press CTL+ATL+DEL
- select the Processes tab
- right click on F18.exe
- lower the priority

Thanks, Joe,that did it.
Question: you said "use tsh v3 OR start jf18. " I go in through jf18, but when I click to fly the mission, the tshv3 logo page appears before the mission starts. Is there another, perhaps better way into v3?
Thanks!

I just meant that if you use TSHv3, you have a Manager where you can select the priority before you start the game. If you do this the executable will start with the selected priority every time.

If you don't have TSHv3 then you have to ALT+TAB everytime you start JF-18 in order to change the priority.

Sure, just install it before TSHv3. Follow the instructions in the Add-On Installation Guide linked in my sig.

Well I seem to be missing something, as I can navigate around the shell, but when I go to fly, I get a CTD when it's starting to load the mission. Something I'm missing? I've done everything at the start of this topic, so I'm scratching my head on this one...

Eric,

Ignore this topic for the moment and follow the TSH Add-On Installation Guide in my sig until things are working.

Really good.
Works great with my ATI X1950 graphic board under XP SP2.
Full Antialiasing, no slowdowns in AA-Mode, and clear, good readable HUD-Fonts.
TSH3-Installation.
Only little grid lines in the water are visible, but not so disturbing for me.

Thanks, Joe,
Here's a question. How do you "turn off" the "wrap- around " cockpit view, like the virtual view in Jane's Apache Longbow.
For awhile I was getting a cleaner version of the original JF-18 view. Then I started getting the wrap-around. I have trouble reading the mfd's, so I prefer the "normal" view.
Thanks.
