I recently upgraded to Windows 7 and now when I launch F4:AF I get graphics corruption and pauses/stutters. Do you recommend that I run F4 in Win XP compatibility mode? Has anyone else had this issue?

I'm using the latest Nvidia driver release and I'm running a 9800 GTX+ card.

Thanks in advance.

I would recommend installing path being C\ or C:\Games\ , not under program files path.

Make sure in setup/graphic that the mode is D3D HAL ,not T&L one .

on Win 7 (64), intel i7, Geforce 220 F4:AF 1.013

1. installed outside program files / (x86) folders

2. Changed from T&L mode in graphics - (it crashed after ~2 minutes) with it on

3. Another fix for other graphics anomolies in the UI (and using AA) with NVIDIA cards was - create a text file called BFops.cfg, insert: set g_bForceSoftwareGUI 1
stick in root F4:AF folder.


Now works fine for me maxed out and with Hitiles and other skins back in

oops should say the knee map is screwed - no fix yet - lucky i hardly use it

Thanks for the tips guys. I'll try them out today.

Falcon 4 runs great now. I reinstalled the game and made sure it was not under Program Files and I also changed the graphics to T&L from HAL T&L. Oh, and FSAA does indeed work fine except for the lap map.

Thanks again.

I loaded Falcon Allied Force and updated via the .exe download from Lead Pursuit without any issues at all. I let falcon install in the default area and have run it under HAL T&L and T&L. I have not ( but will now that I've read it ) messed with FSAA. The sim looks so good at 1920x1200 I hadn't thought of enabling FSAA.

PS Are the ones having issues running the RC1 version of Win7 or the full retail version?

Glad it's working for you now .

The BFops.cfg trick solved my UI problems with FSAA on. My config: Win7 x64 and ATI 4870 with latest Catalyst drivers. GREAT! Now I can get back to some flying again.

Did anyone crack the code on how to get the kneeboard map back?

Thank for the info. Created a text file called BFops.cfg and it fixed the problem.
I set the graphics to D3D HAL. All works. map kneeboard not there but the right kneeboard was working.

Thanks Again!!!
