Hmmm... well I start out with the same settings as a normal cold / warm pit- So I'm pretty sure the initial master mode would be the nav? If I click that sel up / down switch I'm used to it just switching weapon types and switching to associated master modes (from my warm pit / airborne starts).

And the master arm switch isn't something I think I'd miss because I typically hit it around the same time as the PAC / TGP / Laser arm switches (early on).

Ringing any bells?

No, I would say check again. It's either a switch setting or an IFCC setting, but I cannot put myfinger on it ... i use the DMS switch to switch weapons.

Thanks GG... I'll have to mess around with it a bit more when I get home.

On another note- I got my Evga GTX 680 and I'm quite content with it though I haven't tried to OC it yet. I wasn't doing too bad with my twin 460s but still found I needed to pull my settings back a bit to get a truly smooth operation. The 680 is nice and quiet also whereas my 460s were getting a little on the grindy sie.

I'm still finding that whenever I'm doing Roadkill when I look back at Sochi or the general direction of the airport my frame rates drop down about 1/3rd (from 60-80 down to 20... without fail no matter what time it is during the mission.)

Anyone else have this problem? Solutions? Crew?

Get a bigger computer

It's the smoke I think and the fires...



I'm in the final stages of laying down the logic in Ants, wondering if I'm pushing the performance envelope with all the 'code' in this new one.

That's what I thought- but no matter what point in the mission I look over at Sochi, it drops to 20. Whether it's within minute 2 or minute 200...

I expected I'd see something different with the 680... but nothing.


And upgrading the computer eh? Yeah.

No

Set your MSAA to 4X and turn off your mirrors to see if that makes a diff...

So you have the slow rates well before any fires and smoke? The first C-130 shows up at 5 minutes, and you have slow rates at 2 minutes.


This is what I'm set to with my GTX 580 -

Pretty cool video- one of the best I've seen that demonstrates the playability of the game and good communication within the flight. Very nice!


Thanks for the tips too WC- I'll try it out when I get home. I'm home late tomorrow night!

Ha ha, did you see the one by the same user I linked to in the Eno's Firehouse thread (DON'T trust your wingman)? The mission they're flying is WC's Riders ot Storm^^

(Strong language warning though for those with kids around)

Thanks XRay_Specs! I took another look at that video by Ralfi and Linebacker and had a good chuckle. Ralfi is a pretty funny editor. I really like the taxi pic he put up - Shoot The Taxi!




The scenes through the clouds reminds me of an old comic where these pilots are staring out the cockpit and one of them asks the other, "Hey, what's that mountain goat doing up in these clouds?"

That was freaking awesome. Liked the radios too, it was like they could both talk without stepping. PS I like TrackIRs. 2 months till July 22.. Ish
