AMRAAM_Missiles Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Hi All. I don't know Wings Over Europe can play at Lenovo S10? In the WOE manual,the minimum system is:Pentum III 650mhz,RAM 256,VGA 32MB.HDD 1,3GB.My Lenovo S10 system is: Intel ATOM 1.6GHZ,RAM 1GB,HDD C:120GB(free:100GB),VGA 64MB,Windows XP Sp2.I installed WOE in C:/Wings Over Europe but I couldn't run WOE.exe. When I double-click on it,the screen shut down (like another game when we start it) but 3 secs later the screen back to desktop and the game automatic stop like we you task manager to End task it. .I don't know why i can't run it.Anybody know?

ONETINSOLDIER Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Hi, make sure your directx is updated, as well as the latest patch for the game, we will start there, see how it goes, Quote
+ST0RM Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Did you patch WoE with the Oct 08 update? Try updating your DirectX drivers to the current 9.0c. From the README: This Update also raises the mimimum system requirement for the game to the following: OS: Windows 2000/XP Processor: 1.0 GHz Memory: 1.0 GB RAM Hard Drive: 1.5 GB free space Video Card: 128 MB DirectX 9.0c Good luck.

+sony tuckson Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) Sorry to see, don't know exacty what computer type it is , but it uses an Atom CPU These are made for low power consumption, and are really not up to it for simming. I suppose you use a Nettop or a netbook computer, hence, no real video card onboard, taking some more cpu performances away (not that there was much to take anyway) Flightsims really require a video card, something absent from this computer, the integrated chipset isn't of any help here. As far as I know, it's a no go, sorry Edited July 11, 2009 by sony tuckson Quote
+FastCargo Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 I'd agree with Sony...your computer simply isn't strong enough to run the sim. FC Quote
AMRAAM_Missiles Posted July 11, 2009 Author Posted July 11, 2009 Maybe.But i can play Jane's F-15 or Jane's USAF! =)). About DirectX,I should check it.Thanks.About the patch,I have already patched it.i'm from Vietnam so I can't find Strike Fghter 2:Europe even It is released. God ****! Quote
+EricJ Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Can't find SF2:E? http://www.thirdwire.com Click on "Store" Quote

+sony tuckson Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Jane's F-15 and USAF are way older, and didn't require a real video card (although having one was better) and indeed, welcome abord!! Quote
AMRAAM_Missiles Posted July 12, 2009 Author Posted July 12, 2009 Thank You very much! .I have already played WOE in A IBM ThinkPad Laptop since 2008.Now,I have my own Lenovo S10.This Netbook seem not good for Simming.I have played Lock On Flaming Cliffs too.But 2 years ago,I didn't know that WOE have add-on Aircraft until now.But this Lenovo won't allow me to play it.I think it needs replacing.I'm planning to buy the Asus F81S:Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4GHZ,RAM 4Gb,ATI Radeon HD 4570 (512MB),HDD:250GB,864USD. Do You think it is a good laptop for simming? Quote
+331Killerbee Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 The Asus should get You up and running these Sims well from the Specs You've posted. Quote
AMRAAM_Missiles Posted July 12, 2009 Author Posted July 12, 2009 Copy that! I will buy it!The ATI Radeon HD 4570 support DX10 right? Quote
+331Killerbee Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 It sure will. My ATI 2600HD does.....So I would think the 4500 Series should. Quote
AMRAAM_Missiles Posted July 12, 2009 Author Posted July 12, 2009 When I played WOE in IBM ThinkPad,FPS always is 100. This laptop should be like it! .Ah,one question: Is Wings Over Europe or Strike Fighter 2:europe have AIM-120 AMRAAM Missile model? Quote
+331Killerbee Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Not in the "Stock" Game. But We have Plenty in "Free" Third-Party Add-ons that are of Quality here to download to fill all Your AMRAAM Needs........ Quote
+sony tuckson Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Indeed, as I reported in my first reply in this thread ;) Quote
AMRAAM_Missiles Posted July 13, 2009 Author Posted July 13, 2009 Yeah.Lenovo IdeaPad S10 netbook.I'm going to throw it to the recycle bin and buy a new laptop! :D to 331Killerbee:thank you,I have found it! The "Stock" game only have AIM-9L/P,AIM-7F for F-15A loadout.WO* series doesn't like Lock On series. Modder can add new plane with new Flight Model to game.This is impossible at Lock On series.Modder have to make a new plane based from another flyable-aircraft.Ex:Su-33 in Lock On is the only flyable aircraft can land on carrier.Modder want to fly F/A-18.He have to bring the F/A-18 model (made with 3DSMax 2007) and change name to Su-33.That is only way!But in WO* series,Modder can easily add new plane without any trouble.I think it a good point for WO* series. But I think a stock cokpit in WO* series is bad and only have few skins. Quote
zmatt Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) The issue here is that Atom powered netbooks either have the intel 945 chipset with the GMA 950 graphics, which are nowhere close to what you need. Or the newer Intel GMA500 (don't ask why the number is lower). The GMA500 is faster than the the 950, but it is based on a video card made for smart phones and media players. because of this, it's better at playing video than rendering 3d. Either way you slice it, if you can get the games to work it will be on the lowest settings. Netbooks are meant to be low cost and highly portable laptops than anyone can buy. Gaming is a secondary or tertiary consideration. Edited July 14, 2009 by zmatt Quote
AMRAAM_Missiles Posted July 14, 2009 Author Posted July 14, 2009 Thanks! However, I'm going to buy a new laptop as soon as I can so This netbook shoud be thrown to recycle bin! ! Today I install WOE to anouther desktop and install success! But Basic WOE doesn't have AIM-7? I remember that WOE have AIM-7F but my version doesn't. It only have AIM-9 P/L/M Quote
+DWCAce Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 WOE should have the AIM-7... Make sure you're trying to load it on the correct weapons station. :) Quote
+sony tuckson Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 depends on the plane you select if it is not BVR combat capable, no AIM-7.... Quote

Gaming is a secondary or tertiary consideration. Is the GMA 950 less capable than the 900/915? My last laptop had either the 900 or 915 and it ran WOE/WOV on medium with GreenHell 2 or Forest and Farms installed. Current laptop has the GMAx3100 (965 chipset) and I can run SF2 series with environmental mods and everything set to a combo of med/high settings. Integrated graphics cards suck, but don't underestimate them! Quote
+sony tuckson Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 probably, but I think your CPU was way more powerfull than any Atom CPU....to offset a bit the lack of graphical power Quote
AMRAAM_Missiles Posted July 15, 2009 Author Posted July 15, 2009 No,no.When I log on the F-15A hangar,I chose "loadout".On the left,there was a list of F-15A Weapons right?I remember that F-15A can carry Bomb and A/A Missiles but now I have a weapons list with 3 lines: AIM-9P Sidewinder/AIM-9L Sidewinder/AIM-9M Sidewinder.I think it doesn't have Weapons Pack.
