SFP1Ace

I don't recall F-100's being that slow in previous installations. I mean I am just BARELY faster than Fresco C! I was chasing 1 fresco, at 15k feet, me and him on burners, fresco going at about 465 knots and me arounf 485-490 !? And I only had 2 winders on me, dropped the tanks earlier on...Is that normal? I feel as if this plane has no acceleration at all, it takes forever to gain some speed in level flight

That's a great idea zmatt! Go for it!

Thanks, I'll try this!

Aren't Arabs buying F-16E/F (block 60)?

Bump

On Windows 7, ATI Radeon 4890, Catalyst 9.6. Even if i force it off in catalyst control center, the game is still synced at 60 FPS...Anyone of you guys with ATI cards found a solution or is it just me with this problem?

you've, sir, just made my day and by the time you'd upgraded you're rig - SF:Project 4 would be out

What about F-15 then?

Thanks, that's very interesting! Unfortunately my best source of information is wikipedia which is not bad, but lacks so detailed information. Could anyone recommend me any books (prferably available on ebay or amazon ;) ) which would further my education in cold war/modern jet fighters field? And again thanks in advance

I'm really curious about it cause there's a big difference in capabilities between first F-16 C/D block 25 and,say, block 52+. Now what about f-15 or f-14? Where there any "blocks" for them? Or is F-15C from '79 exactly the same as the current ones that serve in US airforce? (in terms of avionics, capabilities, etc.) Thank you for any informative answers

It's brilliant! I've noticed that the new enviroment.ini file is twice as big as the old one! I guess the updated SF2 engine processes effects a little bit differently. Kudos to Orsin&Insky group and of course to Cellinsky for the original work

Oh boy, can't wait, can't wait, can't wait And thank you in advance!

So I guess everybody is testing Better_Widesky mod with their SF2/V/E installs, huh?

Some screenies as a proof (with ENB enabled). I didn't modify it in any way to make it work, just extracted to my Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighters2\Flight folder. If I'm right, shouldn't this great mod be in SF2 series download section as well? Any thoughts?

I on the other hand am spoiled with high FPS i get in FPS, RTS nad RPG games I play so I kinda expect the same from flight sims (not wise, yeah, i know ). But taking into account their different nature, flight sims are always behind the current available technologies....Just take a look at Black Shark...Almost new game but doesn't even utilise more 1 one cpu core. Shame, really. Hopefully things will start to change for the better :yes:

Well for me the immersion is way better if I don't feel the jerkiness associated with low FPS. I mean I can tell the difference between 20 and 40 FPS right away and it really distracts me from the game...But thats me, if YOU are happy with 20 fps then good for you mate!

I put the ini file in saved games\thirdwire\strikefighters2 europe\ (not in the flight subfolder) and it also worked! Now I can enjoy not only the doubled frame rate but this fake bloom/hdr effect as well! And here I thought that Christmas time is late December or smth :D

Yes it seems to work with older series as well! I've just tried it with Strike Fighters Gold patched to october 2008 level, and my FPS went from 19-25 to 39-50 in cockpit (instant action)! So, to summarise, if you want to get this FPS boost you have to: 1. Have Vista/7 running the game 2. Have decent, NOT integrated graphic solution Now back in the original thread (now moved to modders corner) TK stated his thoughts on why this might be happening. This plugin may just skip some rendering and/or physics parts of the engine. Anyone noticed any differences (apart from the FPS of course ;) ) yet?

Hmm, so it seems like this dll only works for: 1. Vista/7 users 2. SF2 series ...Can anyone with a dualboot confirm that?

Yeah, so now TK can stop wasting time on advanced shaders, and bring us the air refueling, better mission planning, better comms, whatever ;)

Bought!

Nice idea Wrench, but I'm not the type to give up easily. I'm definitely gonna give mk84 a try ;)

Hehe, I've never thought of it Well then, shall I use those mk89s implosion bombs then? ^_^
