zmatt Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 The readme does say to put them into the same location. I don't have SF2 so I got the locations form people who used the mod and had SF2. I will change the readme and reupload ASAP. Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 F12 didn't seem to do anything for me. the green letters turn red after 20 seconds, cycle two more messages then go away. also i still seem to have better perfoormance with it in the mod's flight folder than in the main. but then my mama told me this computer is the devil.

JG7_X_MAN Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) It seems the Vista and Windows 7 install works for SP2 in XP as well. Making sure I had the latest DirectX version instaled sovled my probelm. it works just like Angostino says Edited July 26, 2009 by JG7_X_MAN Quote
SFP1Ace Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Zmatt's ini cut my fps in half so i'm going back to default "bloom only + darkening" settings. Quote
zmatt Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Zmatt's ini cut my fps in half so i'm going back to default "bloom only + darkening" settings. What video card do you have? My .ini is optimized for faster cards. Quote
AGOSTINO Posted July 26, 2009 Author Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) ....... the green letters turn red after 20 seconds, cycle two more messages then go away..... It is normal!!! Edited July 26, 2009 by AGOSTINO Quote
AGOSTINO Posted July 26, 2009 Author Posted July 26, 2009 What video card do you have? My .ini is optimized for faster cards. My video card is : Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS Quote
zmatt Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Well That was directed at him. An older video card will have problems with this mod. And especially my tweaks. You should be good AGOSTINO, but I think you are already know that. Quote
SFP1Ace Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 What video card do you have? My .ini is optimized for faster cards. ATI Radeon HD4890 1GB RAM. Somehow your settings got me back to the preENB series era performance-wise and since the sole purpose of this mod (for me) is that FPS doubling under VISTA/7, i'm back to default settings. Maybe it just ATI thing Quote
+X RAY Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Got an nvidia gtx 280 1 gb,works fine! I repeat the same thing as i say into the download section,use this mod combined with Orsin's enhancd widesky mod,is the best way! Quote

Maybe it just ATI thing That’s because occlusion won’t work on ati cards. I've got 4870x2 and only using bloom and colour correction tweaks, rest don’t work and only drags fps down Quote

AGOSTINO Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 I wanted to have a suggestion: It is better to play in 16: 9 or 16: 10?? Quote
Panama Red Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) It depends on your monitor. If you have a widescreen monitor they come in two different sizes 16:9 or 16:10. Mine is 16:10 so I have a little bit more viewing area vertically than a 16:9 monitor. You need to find out what your monitor screen size is and set your resolution to that. Older/more expensive/larger monitors are 16:10, and newer/less expensive/smaller monitors are 16:9. Edited July 29, 2009 by Panama Red Quote
+Fubar512 Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 LCD monitors should be run in their native resolutions. If your monitor's native resolution is 1680 x 1050, then it's 1.6 (1680 divided by 1050 = 1.6). 16x9 and 16x10 are NOT resolutions, but aspect ratios, Most LCD PC monoitors are 16x10. 1680 x 1050, 1920 x 1200, etc, all equal 16 x 10. 16 x 9 is considered a wide screen television aspect ratio.

Thanks much for the information!!!! Quote
AGOSTINO Posted August 1, 2009 Author Posted August 1, 2009 I have read the new readme file of the "HDR_Mod", in the readme there is written: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For SF2 and derivaties: The file structure for SF2 has been changed a lot and requires you to place the files in an alternative location For Windows Vista and Windows 7: Drop the .dll into Users/xxyournamexxx/Saved Games/Thirdwire/SF2x <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--------------- And drop the .ini into Users/xxyournamexxx/Saved Games/Thirdwire/SF2x/Flight folder Where "yourname" is the name of your user account --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is wrong!!! For Windows Vista and Windows 7: Drop the d3d9.dll in the root directory of your installation. (C:\Program Files\Thirdwire\SF2x\) <<<<<<<-------- :yes: This is correct!!!! And drop the .ini into Users/xxyournamexxx/Saved Games/Thirdwire/SF2x/Flight folder Where "yourname" is the name of your user account Quote
AGOSTINO Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 According to you, is more realistic to play with "Lens flare" set to "Always On" or "On External Views"?? Quote
+Gr.Viper Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I turn it off, because my eyes are not lenses and I don't see silly optic noise from the sun. Quote
Oswald Bastable Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I just figure it is a loss of frame rates to have it on. Lens flares still show up in the Cockpit mirrors even with the option off. Quote

AGOSTINO Posted August 18, 2009 Author Posted August 18, 2009 I have downloaded the "SF2_F-4E-ARN_Pack-v1.5", in the weapon folder of this file, I found the "2BR" folder. In the 2BR folder there are only the 2BR.ini and the 2BR_data.ini!! There are no the xxx.lod file and the xxx.bmp file?? Quote
+FastCargo Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Have you actually tried to get it to work? Betcha it works... FC Quote
+Wrench Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 The lod is in one of the objects.cat. Don't worry about it, the Game Engine will find it wrench kevin stein Quote
