That's how. A great SNL skit starring Chris Walken! The Jedi Master

If you can get an X800 XL or a 6800 that would be the way to go, although a 9800 Pro would certainly be light years better than your current card. The Jedi Master

Will this introduce any MP incompatabilities if all players don't have it? Or is this a server-down controlled file? The Jedi Master

I was hoping, especially with the release of the AvP movie, that they'd make an AvP3 for the PC...I guess not. The Jedi Master

The problem was BF:V wasn't made by DICE Sweden like BF42, it was DICE Canada who doesn't seem to have a clue. BF2 WILL be made by DICE Sweden, so here's hoping... The Jedi Master

Only bummer is it's the console only version. MOHAA and MOHPA were the PC versions. Not sure when the next PC version will come out, but they seem to alternate years--2002 was MOHAA (PC), 2003 was MOH Rising Sun (consoles), 2004 was MOHPA (PC), 2005 will be MOH EA (consoles), 2006...? The Jedi Master

I know some people who've picked this up and liked it, but I'm still on the fence. The Jedi Master

Well, I have SC:Chaos Theory with SF installed and it's a BIG PITA to get the game to load. Can take upwards of 15 mins sometimes with one or more reboots. I don't remember when I last tried burning a DVD or CD, so I hope it still works for me. :threaten: The Jedi Master

It never rains, but it pours... The Jedi Master

Um...did 1.0/1.01/1.02 ever have modder support? In the first place? :) Worst-case scenario you might have to wait for 1.2 and the Hokum? The Jedi Master

Your question begs the question "define better". Fact: Falcon 4 was made on a multimillion dollar budget by a large team that worked over 5 years. Fact: JT has a, um, considerably smaller budget and shorter development time. Fact: Falcon 4 in its current state has had an extra 5 YEARS of 3rd party work with both leaked source code and simpler hex editing behind it. Conclusion: To expect JT to compete with F4 in sufficient areas to call it "better" strikes me as unreasonable. JT will be what it will be, and an F4 "replacement" is not it. The Jedi Master PS Many in the industry consider the virtual death of the flight sim genre as attributable to the unrealistic demands of simmers for new products, and the "if it's not better than XYZ I won't buy it" position responsible for the lack of sales and hence abandoning the market.

You know, I watched Envy yesterday, featuring our favorite actor, Christopher Walken. I'm continually amazed that no matter the film--serious drama, comedy, thriller--the guy pulls off the roles while at the same time being himself. Crazy Chris, Deadly Chris, Funny Chris, whatever! Even when the film is forgettable, he isn't. A bum in Envy. A semi-warlord in Rundown. An assassin that doesn't do his own work in Nick of Time. A freakin' EVIL angel in Prophecy. A former specfor guy in Man on Fire. A dying psychic in Dead Zone. About the only thing he hasn't done is appear in a Star Wars, Star Trek, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, or other major film franchise. He's always in the one-offs (unless you count the direct-to-video Prophecy sequels), but he's ALWAYS good. To that guy in Suicide Kings, S! :fan_1: :pioneer: The Jedi Master

The amazing thing is I can't remember the last time I won ANYTHING. I mean, $5 on a Lotto ticket or a handful of quarters in a slot machine, but that's it. I actually won something worth a decent amount of money that I really WANT this time! The Force was strong with me for once! The Jedi Master

For those who don't know, the CD version, with Starforce but no activation limit, is now available for preorder at naturalpoint.com, makers of TrackIR. The bad news is it's $40 plus S/H which is $8 minimum. I hear to Canada it's $30, which really sucks for them. Anyway, since this is NOT an addon but rather the entire LOMAC 1.02 with 1.1 changes integrated, this is priced the same as the game was at first and I'm guessing may require a total uninstall/reinstall instead of patching? Not sure on that. Anyway, it's scheduled to be shipped out in early May, but Jason said quantities were limited, so if you're on the fence, you'd better preorder now. If you're leaning more towards "too much for an addon" or "I hate Starforce," then I guess you'd better not! :) The Jedi Master

I'm holding out until I know if Naturalpoint will be selling it on CD. If so, I'm going that way in the hopes that the SF on it will not have install limits on it like the DL version does. The Jedi Master

Put me in, too. I've been planning on getting this for awhile, but haven't had the time. Getting it free instead is always welcome! ;) The Jedi Master

I think it safe to say I'd hate to get the turbo shaft! The Jedi Master

Was the fix an altered graphics ini? I know I did that a while back to aid in reducing the CTD's from the Tornados. I seem to remember getting this problem with the Viggie in SFP1, though... The Jedi Master

There is a directory in your LOMAC directory called "docs" or similar. In there are some docs listing changes to the game with the 1.02 patch, which remapped many keys and added new functions. I'd suggest looking in there. The Jedi Master

That depends on your videocard and the game. If you have a dual-output card you have the ability, but the game has to support either 2 monitors or spanning or something. I remember Back to Baghdad supported usage of a monochrome monitor to repeat the MFD, but that was a LONG time ago! :) The Jedi Master

I'm here, not that I do much... The Jedi Master

SHQ just isn't what it used to be. By that I mean pre-9/11. That was the heyday for me, although forums like SFP1 hit their stride after the anti-Wallyworld people gave up and the mods started rolling in post SP1. Before 9/11, it was never contentious there. Locked threads were quite rare. Only Siggi. :) I think Crash giving up the site was the beginning of the real decline, as the succession of new owners and admins/mods never seemed "at home" with their roles. I guess SHQ has become the new Combatsim and CA will be the new SHQ? The Jedi Master
