OK here are some screens of my revised pit, I am quite pleased with the progress.

You read my mind!

No screens yet, it is still just a max file at the mo, not as advanced as bobrocks. Don't worry the Typhoon is going well, my new pit skins are looking nice.

Oh well, at least I can rob the ini file when I have done mine

Yup, I definitely have a Harrier on the go, 3d model is actually built, no skins yet, I plan on doing the GR5 and GR whatsit, you know the newer ones! GR7? GR9? I don't remember now, I've also got a C-17 and a C-130K (stretched RAF herc) on the go, I wan't to do some WW2 stuff as well (thinking a late MK spit)

The Islander is on hold now that I am back into the Typhoon (in a big big way) I have revised my plans for the typhoon (the cockpit), more like 4 weeks I'm affraid, but if I manage to achieve the desired results you will all be worshiping me

If you wait 2 weeks after I manage to finish my EF 2000 Typhoon, then I am in the process of modeling one

I have seen similar too, I didn't realise the TGA decal had to have (I think) at least 3 pixels width of alpha around the entire border and I was getting a similar effect. Not sure what exactly is causing your problem though.

It is fast, but I would have to say I am a real amateur when it comes to the ini work, I decided to look for help in this area, but with the recent release of WOI and probable patches for the other series I guess we will have to wait until the WOI buzz has settled.

OK update time again, pics of the pit with some textures going on and improved mirrors and canopy frame. I couldn't resist having a play around

I would bet even if one suddenly found themselves in the real thing it would still be difficult to beat a MIG-21 :yes: p.s. FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!

So you are saying you can choose either, but there is no function in the setup to do so, do I need to choose the function in an ini somwhere?

Is the TW series an Opengl or d3d?

I'm using a 3rd party tweaker called Nhancer, it gives the option for multithreading and it does improve things.

Textures are on unlimited and all else on high, so far I havent pinned down any single setting to affect it, anti aliasing has gone through the full range and no effect.

Well my machine is a 2Mb ram and a P4 3.5 ghz (not sure if its dual core but it shows up as 2 processors in device manager) I have had a FPS issue, but the shadows don't seem to cause the problem, in fact I'm not sure what is, the FPS is worse when I have my wingmen in sight

Thanks Fastcargo, the shadow thing worked a treat

Nope, I'm getting this problem and the aircraft has no .shd file or an ini entry for one.

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!! external animation links work, I just tried my old Hawk model and the canopy opens in cockpit view

Why I Oughta!! :yes:

Unlikely to climb out of the pit to unjam guns or reload in a jet, these must be parts of the FE code

Yes I noticed the FM being different (not just for add on aircraft) I actually managed a proper spin in the F-16 and also recovered with anti-spin inputs ME LIKEY!! I would like to get the change figured out as my Typhoon is behaving a little odd, the leading edge slats stay deployed almost all the time and the roll rate had decreased, and it just doesn't fly as fast any more. Oh and my FPS issue is much improved, silly me, should have thought to download the latest Nvidia driver, still not as good as it was in WOE but its definitely playable, killing 3 migs close in with the F-16, 2 Python kills and 1 guns.

I am Based at Manston in Kent, the company RVL group is based in coventry, You may or may not know that Coastguard aviation is contracted to civillian companys, Bristows used to do rotary now it's CHC helicopters, and Air Atlantique were the fixed wing, I joined Air atlantique in 95, and last year there was a management buy out to form the now RVL group.

Well, in WOE/V/SF, framerates would vary from model to model but I'd say i got an average of 20 FPS in cockpit and 30-40 in external views, that is with graphics maxed out and highest resolution, WOI maxed out etc.. gives me about 5 FPS in cockpit and anything between 8-30 in external views, if I view the aircraft from directly above then it gets a healthy 40-50 FPS, I tried playing with settings, shadows made no real difference and number of objects didn't seem to make alot either, and most strange of all, i lowered resolution and got worse performance, but with settings around medium to normal and maintaining max resolution there seemed to be an improvement. new things in the graphics option seem a little odd, if you choose an option of anything less than unlimited in the object textures the aircraft texture is awfull ( I didn't want to see what it might be like at medium or low after that ), I am trying to use a prog calle Nhancer to see if it can give back some performance, it has worked a treat on some other games before. Don't get me wrong, I think the game is worth getting, I'm happy to let my hardware evolve with the third wire titles, they are simply the most addictive titles I have ever used, and in my case I have seen my machine compare badly with others of similar spec before. Oh and No the bathroom is miles from being finished. p.s. ignore the texture thing I talked about, it's actually fine, I forgot I was using a 3rd party aircraft when I looked at it, the stock stuff is still sweeeeet!

Well the first thing I have noticed is the huge FPS loss on my machine, and I didn't think my comp was that much of a slouch,Win XP, 250GB SATA HD, P4 3.5 Ghz, 2Mb DDR RAM, Nvidia 7950GT. Still The game itself is not a dissapointment.
