Yeah, you can go ahead a change the resolution in the manager. I just wanted to start with the basics.

I hope Joe chimes in too. I don't have my Warthog connected yet so, I'm not sure what he's talking about. Check this this preview out about halfway through. I suspect Joe is talking about this...T.A.R.G.E.T. Axis Programming

Good day and wishing you a Happy New Year!

First, allow me to thank all oy you for this great site and keeping these older games alive. I've played many of the Jane's series including Longbow 2, Jane's Fighter Anthology, Jane's WWII fighters, etc. The one I always wanted to get but never did until recently was F-18 Superhornet. Thanks to the folks over at TSH, I was able to install it on my XP SP3 machine and fix the slow down in AA mode.

Alas, my old tower died and I have my new laptop. Thanks to this thread, I was able to successfully install F-18 in Windows 7 & resolve the slowdown in AA mode using the one click installer. Initially, the game would play starting it with DXTweaker but it seemed like the changes didn't have an affect on the game and there was the old slowdown in AA mode. What solved it for me and might help others is I run DXTweaker in Compat mode set for XP SP2. Nothing else in compat mode. Didn't see anyone else mention this but it does work.

Some questions if I may. I'll apologize up front if these have been answered elsewhere but I really stink at searching w/ keywords.

1) What do you use TSHv1 manager for? Is there a thread that explains how to use it?
2) same thing for TSHv3 manager. Should one be used in lieu of the other?
3) When using "Worldswapper", selecting "ncape" was no problem but if I select "Korea", the following message appears: "trouble finding wrapper.dll" Did I miss installing something? I'd really like to see the Korea campaign...

Your time in this matter is greatly appreciated!
Also, over the course of time I lost the Fighters Anthology CD's. I still have the spiral bound manual, install guide and keyboard reference card if anyone is interested.

As noted above, I also experience the AA slowdown but the thread located at top of forum discusses XP and Vista. What has anyone used to resolve this in Windows7? I tried Barry's work around and nothing using XP service pack2.

Matt

Korea? Only Ncape and Iraq is available.

For DirectX Tweeker, I went back just now and used the settings described in this thread:
http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2142199/F_18_with_no_banding_AA_slowdo.html#Post2142199

I really wish my new 'puter was finished so I can really help out. Im on Vista, but the AA slowdown goes away, with no crashing after a mission completion. As stated in that thread, Instant Action doesn't work.

I told you to disable some check boxes, and your CTD seemed to have been cured, but now you get AA slowdown. Go back and check one box at a time, to see if it helps. I think it's just a matter of finding the right settings...

OOOOOOPS! I meant Iraq. I was trying to post my questions before heading into work. Thank you for taking the time to answer.

In order to select playing in Iraq, I go to world swapper, select Iraq and then start the game? Or were you saying that I have to uninstall the game, go through all this again and select Iraq before starting F-18?

Forgive me if the answer should be obvious, I work in the emergency services and it's been a long day...

As before, your time in this matter is greatly appreciated!

Barry

I was editing my post when you replied.....

After you install everything, first use the world swapper to select a region before starting the simulation the first time.

Happy New Year btw

Hi Matt,

I'm trying to go through step by step what I did to make this work. You're using a Windows Basic Theme as your desktop background? Not an Aero Theme?

I had to make a sticky for myself to remember to switch out of Aero before playing.

Barry

I have got it up and running with the TSH 4.02 mod on a W7 64bit machine.

A couple of things though:

1. Resolution - I have 3 there but I was sure I remember more being there with TSH patches from years ago. I have a 27" monitor running at 1920x1080 and would be nice to have it at native res if possible?

2. Windows bar flashing along the bottom of the screen. I remember this from years ago too but not sure what happened about it.

3. I have a Warthog and the stick worked for pitch and roll but the throttle wouldn't work.

4. One last thing, I saw mentioned further up this thread about a 'one click updater', do I apply this too?

Use the TSH manager to select "Same as Desktop" under resolutions

2. Windows bar flashing along the bottom of the screen. I remember this from years ago too but not sure what happened about it.

Might be video card drivers or settings. Not everyone experiences this.

3. I have a Warthog and the stick worked for pitch and roll but the throttle wouldn't work.

Try what Joe says here:

You do not need it. It is a full TSH v3.06 installation package.

Great, thanks Rudel, the res. change got rid of the flashing, now to sort the HOTAS out
