Downgraded Strike Fighters

[Rambler 1-1 9]

hey guys, I'm back.

 

Anyway, my computer hasn't gotten any faster, and for a couple of months I had trouble running internet, let alone strike fighters. Now I've finally got this piece of junk running again, and I figured I would try to run SF.

 

I installed it and tried it in it's stock form. It sucked. Lag and general badness ensued. Then I got the service pack from the thirdwire website, installed and tried that. It runs great, no lag and, even though my graphics settings are on "low" for the most part, the resolution and colours are good. I've enjoyed many a dogfight with the stock planes.

 

But here lies my question. I know that when I left, all you modders were making add-ons compatable with WOI and it's more advanced physics engine. I'm looking for some simple planes (MiGs, F-14, F-8, P-40, some Japs to shoot at) that I can add to strike fighters 1.5 here that will work with the now-outdated system.

 

I can substitute sounds, loadouts, weapons, effects and all that, but I'm wondering if HUD or gauges will be missing, or if the way the plane flies will be different.

Rambler, everything at C5 is for the old flight engine except for the latest Mirage Factory releases.

The HUDs and whatnot shouldn't slow you down, but the eurofighter's 4096x4096 textures will.

 

A computer upgrade would be worth it, parts and even whole systems are getting dirt cheap, just check out tiger direct.

Yeah, I'm not even gonna bother trying to get these new HD planes to work, I just downsize the skins to 512x512. Besides, right now I plan on chasing down some MiG-15s with the Cutlass.

 

And I know that I have no right poisioning these forums with complaints from a low preformance computer, but what I have is what I have, and there is no chance at all that anything new computer-wise is in my future, even if it is only a matter of double-digit prices.

Wow. I sometimes have access to free old hardware but really there is nothing you can upgrade further on that Dell.
