Well pcpilot, at least it is not boring here! :(

Hi,

You know, it is all a matter of perspective. From where I'm sitting, YOU are oversees.... :P

But still, English is taught here at the schools....

sebastian pons

BP_MOSCOW, I think the problem is that he IS using a translator.

I think I understood what he was trying to say, but I'd need another posting to be sure.

Yes, KFG_Keller, I was aware of that tweak but it didn't do anything

for me. I still thing there are many superflous things in the sim (that is for a slow computer, because with a "decent" one I'm sure that everything can enhance the inmersion) that can be turned off so people with lower end machines can enjoy it too.

Thank you for your help

sebastian pons

Thank you Dagger, found it.

MadJeff, I will visit from now on

And now That I know how to use radar, what do I do? I started a campain and the plane I get (I tried US, Navy etc...) doesn't have radar. It could be because of my FR, but I barely see the enemy, and when I do is too late because I've missed another one that is already on my 6.

Any advice?

sebastian pons

Hi Dagger I'm interested but, where did you post it? Somehow I have the feeling I should know :?

sebastian pons

I had the same problem.

They should reside in the "missions" folder that you created, but to be read by the game,they have to have the extension" .msn". Modify acordingly and they should show.

Good luck

Hi KFG_Keller, I think it is because of the patch. Everything else works OK.

I'll wait and see if any of the missions developers have anything to say or advice.

In the meanwhile, I see from one of your posts that you have a low end system. How is the game playing in your machine?

I run WIN98se PII (AMD K6 3DNOW) 500MHz 128RAM

GeForce2 MX 100/200 32MB IE5.5 Trident Sound Card

And with everything at minimum, no mirrors, shadows etc.. it is a

little bit jumpy. Not a slide-show but not smooth either. I think there are many things modeled in the sim that aren't really necessary to play. One is the pilot's heads moving, and I think it is ALL pilots.

It is not a gripe, but I think if it could be eliminated it would sped the

simulation greatly. After all, do we care what the pilot's heads do?

I know that EAW runs very well in my computer, and I have graphics

at max..... Just a thought.

sebastian pons

Thank you KFG_Keller

, you know, I find those sims very similar. I'm still having

problems with SA (they are so fast!) and energy management, but in all I'm having a good time.

And now for the folder. It works but as soon as I click accept it hanks on me. Could it be that the missions I load can't work anymore because of

the patch? It did make many modifications.

Well, thank you again

sebastian pons

Thank you KFG_Keller. Stupid of me! MSN did the trick.

sebastian pons

Go up, you post!

sebastian pons

No dice.

As you suggested I wiped the mission folder clean. I cut the mission I wanted (in this case the day one) and pasted it on wordpad and saved it giving it the name of daymission.

Wordpad gave it the extension DOC. I tried both with and without the DOC extension, but I still can't see the mission.

To be on the safe side I repeated the steps using Notepad with the same results. I know I did something wrong, but what?

Maybe if you could describe again step by step (like for a moron) I'll

spot where I went wrong?

Thank you

sebastian pons

Post patch :)

Hi, I d/l a couple of missions, a day and a night one but when I go to single player they are not there.

I have a folder named missions, and the 2 files have the TXT extension. I tried to rename one of them "day.mis" to see if it would work, but without luck. What I've done wrong?

Thank you in advance

sebastian pons

How much? :casstet:

sebastian pons

Hello Target, couldn't fly because of CDT several times. I'm sure is windows related rather than modifications made, but I've decided to wait for the patch (1 day!)

Thank you for your help

sebastian pons

Thank you Target for your help. I don't take offense easily, and less when I'm asking for help. I always assume that the other part (the helper) knows more than I do, otherwise I'd be the one telling you what to do and how....

Anyway, I printed your instructions and I'll try it tomorrow. It's late night here and unfortunately I have to work in the morning :(

I'll post results as soon as I have flown a couple of times.

Thank you again

sebastian pons

Yes Target, I'd be grateful if you could help me, but you'll have to

explain it step by step...

Thank you in advance

sebastian pons

Anybody?

sebastian pons

And now I'm lost.

Are you talking about ingame resolutions or desktop resolution.

Because as I understand it, the less the ingame resolution the less jumpy the display will be, or I'm missing something here?

sebastian pons

Thank you Ranger332, I wasn't aware of the conexion.

Any advice on my first question?

sebastian pons

Ranger332, the problem is the loading time from clicking "fly" to actually starting playing, I'm talking about the bar that measures the percentage of game loaded.

I already reduced to 800/600, off mirrors and shadows, etc...

Thank you for your post

sebastian pons

Hello Ranger332, here are my specs:

Win98se AMD K6 (PII) MX 3D NOW 500MHz

128 RAM GeForce 2 MX 100/200 32MB

Trident sound card IE5.5 DirectX 8.1

I know it's on the border, but when playing it doesn't jump too much. Of course there is not telling what will happen postpatch with the rockets

contails and such...

sebastian pons

Hi, I use a Logitech WingMan Digital 3D.

What lines would you think are relevant?

I'll have to sign off now, will check again tomorrow (my time :D )

sebastian pons

Thank you.

Now what am I suposed to do with the file? Shall I copy and paste

to the C:Program FilesStrategy FirstStrike FightersControls

folder to overwrite a similar one there?

sebastian pons

Thank you BirdDogg, I guess I'll have to wait then...
