SFP1Ace

I don't really now what other advice I can give you mate :(. Maybe just do a clean install of windows? Lots of wor but the result is doubtful....Another, temporary solution migt be to lower details (say Horizon to High or Normal, Mirrors Off) so you can have 60 FPS all the time). In future this odd behaviour might be resolved by either patch or driver update.... EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm using DVI to HDMI cable.

So from your posts I gather that this problem appears (stuttering below 60 FPS) no mater what VSync setting you're using....Very odd indeed. 1. Are playing stock or heavily modded SF2? If its the latter then try removing all mods. 2. Another thing to check is to display in-game FPS counter (pres alt+d twice). FLIGHT FPS will be your Geforce's generated framerate while GAME FPS will be game's engine/physics framerate. Now mate please check what's the GAME FPS when this stuttering occurs (when your FLIGHT FPS in the 40-50 range). 3. Try them 258 drivers if you haven't already. 4. Now this is a long shot but turn off any antivurs/firewall/bittorrent software running in the background. EDIT: 5. Set your CPU and GPU to stock clocks. EDIT2: I made a mistake, should've written GRAPHIC instead of FLIGHT FPS, baka baka me :P

I run with VSync forced off. But at what patch level are you playing mate? I've heard that EXP2 (December-2010 B level) worked wonders FPS-wise for some ppl.

Sony Bravia 32EX500 @ 1920x1080 plus Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit. Good Luck! P.S. Make sure to set VSYNC to Force Off in NV control panel if you haven't done so already. Another thing is to increase/decrease "Maximum pre-rendered frames" option there and see if that makes any difference.

Perhaps you should try an older set of ForceWare drivers? Which 1 are you using atm?

Yep, unless you use triplebuffering. Which, AFAIK, SF doesn't use.

Yep, still 460 GTX allright ;). The first offcial drivers for my card, 258.96, seems to work the best. I've also used later drivers - 263.06 and 265.90 quadro (using modded *.inf file) but these literally HALVED my FPS! So I'm back with the good 'ol 258.96.

Flying in F-15A (I believe it's cockpit is the most taxing on performance of all TW fighters) I'm getting 40-50 FPS and it's silky smooth (everything set to Unlimited, plus detail mesh set to 8 from original 4)! JIttering starts at and below 30 FPS for me... EDIT: And I'm using Track IR5 so smoothness is essential here

Nice rig! Now OC that Core i7 to 4 GHz!!!

Before switching to WIn 7 make sure that your laptop's graphic chip DOES support DX 10 in HARDWARE, otherwise you might not see much of an improvement!

Slightly off topic, but if you want the Javelin Faw9 to use stock Firestreak missile as well, then a part from doing what guys have posted above, you'll also have to add SpecificStationCode=FIRESTREAK at appropriate weapon stations in its data.ini. Or, like malibu43 said, wait for the patch .

Wrench, what about just deleting modded firestreak and red top folders? Wouldn't this make game default to stock ones?

While browsing aircrafts' data.ini files I've noticed that MiG-17PF and all variants of MiG-21 have AircraftCapability=DAY_ONLY. Shouldn't at least some be DAY_AND_NIGHT? Wasn't MiG-17PF a night interceptor as well?

Yeah I think so too. My guess is that this entry set to true overrides userlist.ini in some way.

From Meteor's data.ini: [MissionData] NationName=RAF AircraftRole=FIGHTER AircraftCapability=DAY_ONLY ServiceStartYear=1949 ServiceEndYear=1957 Availability=VERY_COMMON Exported=TRUE ExportStartYear=1950 ExportEndYear=1971 ExportAvailability=COMMON ExportedToEnemy=TRUE <----------------------------------- Cultprit???? PrimaryRoles=SWEEP,CAP,INTERCEPT,ESCORT SecondaryRoles=STRIKE,CAS,SEAD,ARMED_RECON,ANTI_SHIP,RECON NormalMissionRadius=240 MaxMissionRadius=710 Ceiling=13411.0 MinBaseSize=MEDIUM What do you think?

Thanks all! I guess it's time to harass TK then ^_^

You mean in around 2 weeks?

Thanks for the answers guys! Just to confirm: I shouldn't bother to edit the data.inis then? Edit: Guess I've just answered the question, lol.

[May you live] A Hundred Years! (as we say it in Poland)

Dziękuję! Thanks everybody!

Tack så mycket, vän!

F-100A selection is faulty. You can select F-100A for 1956 campaign, but you'll end up with F-100C.

I have fond memories of this game. Commanding from a bridge with a virtual crew, quite realistacally recreated in 3d, was a concept never explored before in space sims I believe. I also remember having great difficulties with one of the earlier missions where you had to take on 2 romulan capital ships...
