Thanks guys. But, if you were to use a fourth mode, what would you use it for?]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:59:03 PST http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2905270.html#Post2905270 http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2904445.html#Post2904445 kramer

Yes, the "affinity trick" is automatic as of 1.01.

The Vista "issue" is no longer an issue. The original warnings may have had merit back when the game was in development, and in the very early days of its release, but with the service packs and patching that has occurred since then, there is no longer a disadvantage to playing on Vista compared to any other OS. In fact some benchmarking efforts on the official forums have shown that Vista may actually be the best system to play on (superior to both XP and W7). That is why all the in-game warnings about Vista compatibility have been removed with the latest patch.

The fact that you're running into slow downs with very busy maps most likely is a result of your hardware. Even very low end machines can run BS smoothly on very simple missions, but will suffer greatly as unit count goes up. So, with that in mind, post your PC's specs, your detail settings, the name of the mission in which you encounter problems, and the average FPS that you get in the mission. It should be easy enough to tell if your slowdowns are a simple consequence of hardware that's not quite up to the task, or if there's something else that's degrading performance. But, once again, as long as your Vista installation is current, it is very doubtful that this had anything to do with your OS.]]> Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:38:40 PST http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2902414.html#Post2902414 http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2901747.html#Post2901747 Dart

There is currently a contest going on for making campaigns. It ends on Dec 10th so I hope we see several new campaigns enter the cyber world soon after the 10th.]]> Sun, 15 Nov 2009 08:24:39 PST http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2901266.html#Post2901266 http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2900651.html#Post2900651 uksnake

Thanks Dart but I don't have teamspeak - i keep meaning to sort that out and I will eventually, but at the moment i'm sure i'd just be a frustration to fly with as i'm still at the stage of taking about 5 minutes to get into a good hover!

One thing I was wondering with the Datalink thing - when you set a target using the Skhval (or however you spell it) can you select that target again and have the skhval instantly look at it again?

Another question, is it actually possibly to change your waypoint co-ordinates in flight?

Thanks for your help - excellent forum!]]> Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:36:16 PST http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2900475.html#Post2900475 http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2900046.html#Post2900046 Cajun

Thanks Tbag. While I can set up my x45 myself, what I am most interested in is what key commands you all assign to the joystick functions.]]> Fri, 13 Nov 2009 05:45:46 PST http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2900046.html#Post2900046 http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2899938.html#Post2899938 Reticuli

I tried turning off hardware sound acceleration in dxdiag. I have an Emu 1212m installed. Blackshark now gives me an average of about 19fps with 20fps set as my limit (it will go up to 22fps this way). I can get a lot higher peak framerates if I don't set a limit, but I also can get unplayable ones. This way it doesn't look great, but it works. I have scenes and textures on medium and haze still on in the options.lua. My 3850 has temporal AA, 4X AA, low adaptive, 2X AF, cat ai on standard, and v-sync. I didn't find turning haze off to improve things and made the terrain look to same-ish...not to mention my custom labels being useless for finding targets that way. I dig the green IFF beacons and the gray, faint enemy dots in the haze behind the helmet sight. The dots give way to the actual target visually when I'm close and the haze is less. Hardware acceleration for the soundcard helps a lot, though the brief sound loading freezes haven't gone away when a sound plays for the first time. I think this made the big difference. Pretty much everything except Battle can be flown now sufficiently. And even that one can be very carefully run if I wait for the ground to ground rockets to stop firing...just barely, but possible. The effects and smoke seem to be the worst culprits, now. I have not yet installed the patch, so I don't know if those can be tweaked down further. I just flew three missions very successfully with the GlovePIE trim system running. Yes the rotor sound plays even when it's paused, but I think I can live with that for the time being. I will say, the first time I turned accel off with no fps limit in the graphics.ini, I was totally amazed at how much fun it is to fly at 40-60fps. Very different, euphoric sensation...and easier. That was with nothing going on, though. Normally, I'm very very careful and not the least bit euphoric. Joyriding that turns to boredom is not an issue ;-)]]> Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:05:16 PST http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2899938.html#Post2899938 http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2899034.html#Post2899034 kramer
