I think Win XP Pro SP2 that I have installs 9 automatically. I think I remember during the later installation phase one of those information screens in Windows with DIRECTX 9 and espousing its benefits. Well, 98 should be here in a few days, so I'll be running Longbow Anthology and 18 in that on a partition.

Radlinker 0908 with ATi Catalyst 5.7 doesn't work.

I recently found my old copy of JF-18 and it worked right of the box.
WinXP, DX90c, nVidia Forceware 77.72 drivers. I play with 2xQ FSAA enabled and have no water gridlines nor AA master mod stuttering.
I wish the engine sounds are better in the game, are there some replacement sounds on the web?

Only problem now: the hud fonts are unreadable, hopefully TSH finishes their font mod soon, the beta mod doesnt work for me.

BTW going from 4x to 2xQ FSAA also fixed the "no-mouse-in-cockpit" problem for F4:AF. With 4x FSAA falcon doesnt even start.

Welcome back, Thrawn.

SoundManager, SoundPackager, and F18SoundData (as well as soundpacks of sounds) are available for JF/A-18 and JF-15 at http://tsh.war-fighters.net/?tshmain=download&download=addon . IIRC there are presently no engine sounds available, but, if you want, you can create them yourself using SoundManager, SoundPackager, and F18SoundData.

FYI, the Hud Font fix is to make them a tad bigger only, it wont fix the bluriness caused by the anti-aliasing.

I've experienced "lag" during offline play. Can anybody help me ?
The FPS is very good on my P4 2.6Ghz + 512Mb Ram + 128Mb FX5200 system. Only the response in the sim seems to delay by 1 or 2 secs. This is annoying me so much.

Thanks in advance.

What response? The response to your controller or keyboard inputs?

Hi Joe,

The responses to all 3 devices -- keyboard, joystick and mouse (I have no TrackIR, but I believe the problem would probably occur on it too).

It seems to be graphics problem. Because, the response is worst when using "F8" to view around the aircraft, also when heading down on massive targets. Sounds like insufficient RAM problem but, I don't think so. The FPS is very good everywhere in the sim, and around one year ago, I used GeForce4MX and the sim ran very fine, with slightly lower FPS than present.

thank you.

Don't know what to tell you, Bright_sky...

Perhaps a complete uninstall/reinstall as described in the TSH install guide ?

Thanks Joe, I had uninstalled/reinstalled the sim 2 times, before I posted my problem. The sim is still laggy anyway.
