Sorry, I haven't got all the files moved over to the new system yet. You should still be able to DL it from the old site here: http://dev.biohazcentral.com

OK, so I'm a little late. Like 6 months late... =) But my review of NaturalPoint's great little TrackIR unit is finally here. So, what did I think of this much-discussed and often-misunderstood piece of hardware? Read the full review here.

Posted in the files area

We had 4 or 5 of us earlier in the evening, but I got pulled away... We'll do it again with a little more warning this time.

I just got my Retail LOMAC version today and have been messing with it for the past hour. All I can say is I must be extremely lucky, because on my middle of the road system I am getting silky smooth framerates. This is on an Xp1800+ (overclocked to a 2100), a Radeon 9600 Pro and 512Mb of RAM. I have to say, I've had more fun with this sim in the past hour than I've had with any sim in years. The Hog is an absolute blast, as is the Su-25. I flew a couple of missions as well, and had no stutters at all. This is with the default graphics setting, I haven't even tweaked it yet. Maybe it's because I flew the betas, but the damn thing seems pretty problem-free to me framerate-wise. Maybe I have read so much complaining in the forums I expected worse... :P

I have a TeamSpeak server online, just ping fshost.dtdns.net for the IP address. I haven't had a chance to test from outside, but it should be working. Feel free to join the server and try it out, then let me know if you have any issues. You can grab TeamSpeak at the following link if you don't have it already: http://www.teamspeak.org/

I finally got LOMAC here at the Biohaz Batcave and am installing it as I type. My punishment for having beta builds to do previews with, I get the retail version after everyone else... ;)

I have purchased a lot of stuf from a company called JN Computer Service out of New York: http://www.jncs.com They are a touch higher than you can find at some other places, but they have absolutely flawless service, test all their MB combos before they send them out, and have a really good return policy. I HIGHLY recommend them from personal experience. The last 4 MB's I've bought have been through them.

You're talking to someone that's been waiting for SF Patch 2 and LOMAC... Don't lecture me about patience...

I will be online tonight hosting some multiplayer action tonight at 5pm Pacific Standard Time (8pm Eastern) and am calling on all you FS2K pilots to join me! You can find out how to join the server in this thread. I will get some voice comms setup as well and will post in this thread on how to join that server later this afternoon. Check back in this thread for more details soon. See you tonight!

Thanks, I was actually trying to get on Ubi's forums most off the day to get this, to no avail. I was unable to attend the chat this morning unfortunately...

You only get a perf boost if the OS and swap are on seperate physical drives. Seperate partitions on the same drive is not going to gain you anything, but is always a little neater to find stuff on. :)

NTFS, no question. It's a better performing disk system with all the advantages NT security brings. As far as the games, everything will install the same, since it's an OS subsystem, the games/apps don't know the difference.

Rgr that. This one's been pretty stable as far as I've heard.

It's supported now, that's what this post was about... :)

I just jumped on and they seem fine, but I wasn't on there yesterday...

Wags posted on the status of the upcoming patch tonight, here's the quote.

"Learning to Fly" by Pink Floyd...

I have no doubts they will get the bugs fixed, they have more than proven to me they are sincere about fixing things. I don't have the final yet, but I've been following the problem threads pretty closely. What i've found is if you sift through all the posts, they pretty much boil down to a couple of bugs. Not bad in my book. Especially since I suffered throught the nightmare that was Falcon4 the first 8 months... ;)

Don't hold your breath Lex, ED has already stated they are not giving away things for free anymore. Patches will be free, addons will be $$. I personally don't have a problem with that, it seems to be the way of things anymore.

Sounds cool, can't wait to read it.

Good news for all you Enhanced Manual buyers, the first run ships tomorrow and should arrive Friday of this week!

I'm currently updating my review to the latest drivers and I WILL have it posted by this weekend. You have my word on that. :D

This thread will be a repository for must-know info/tweaks/files for LOMAC gleaned from around the web. I am currently creating a web page for this info that will be an all-inclusive LOMAC FAQ, and will create .PDF files with the content and post it for download as well. But it's only as good as we ALL make it, so please post any new info on tweaks/fixes/etc. as it comes in to this thread, and I'll add it to the FAQ.

I was just browsing through the threads checking on old posts and ran across this, so sorry it took so long to get on this. You can get the addon CD here: http://home.arcor.de/swiper/addon/addon_eng.htm It's well worth the price of the CD, as there is a lot of stuff you can't even find anymore on the web, all in one nice package.
