Rambler 1-1

that is a BIG drop tank.

NAS Oceana?

Bah. Don't even talk to me about that game. It was not our team's best performance by far... Also, it didn't help that Miller was FREAKING AWESOME!

Just my two bits, but I usually find that a cheap, rummage-sale or consignment-store joystick is good value until you can get your hands on something serious. You don't get the features and details of a top-'o-the-line stick, but it still leads to hours of flight sim fun. I've gone through four or five $2 garage-sale joysticks since I bough Strike Fighters, and they always did the job.

check your options.ini and change these lines to this: AntiAliasing=1 UseAdvancedShaders=0 ForceDX9=TRUE the HDR mod is for DirectX 9, so it doesn't work in installs that are using DirectX 10 with the advanced shaders. I get a considerable FPS boost by forcing DX9 and using the HDR mod.

CRY SOME MORE!!!! AHAHAHAHA!!!

Looks like you gon' get Graped.

Negative, DX10+advanced shaders gives me roughly half the FPS that DX9+HDR mod does. With my anti-aliasing worked out (sort of) and some minor graphics settings dialed back, I'm back up to between 30 and 50 frames. Excellent.

Oh, they're gon' have to glue you back together... ...IN HELL!

Hold on, so that would mean that when i shut it off I was getting the frame rate jump, perhaps because of DX10? I dunno. I'm not happy with my somewhat rushed re-install, so I'm gonna do it again and do it right, with the above info I'm sure I'll get this sucker going again. Thanks, guys.

Sorry for the double post, but after the Feb. 2010 patch, I can't even get the HDR to work at all. No Text, and I'm stuck at 14FPS on Normal graphics settings. I need to get an Nvidia card...

Hey, you can't have too many Tomcats either, but it seems there's only one at the moment...

You could always go into the cockpit.ini and get rid of the radar section... or just turn the radar off... or pretend it's a weather radar...

@ USAFMTL, that's what I expected at first... @ Falcon, yes, the text was coming up before I hit Shift+F12, that's why I thought it was something aside from the HDR mod. @ Dogzero, I thought that too, but apparently not... The other strange thing is, When I use the HDR mod, Gamecam doesn't work, but if I take the enbseries file and move it, Gamecam works fine. Strange?

serious? You mean all that time i didn't have it turned on at all? Damn, I feel REALLY stupid right now, curse my lack of attention span for readme files... (*ducks to avoid volley of flak from community*)

Using SF2 with the December patch, when I first installed it, I was getting the usual 15FPS on High graphics settings (I've an awesome comp here- 2.33Mhz, 8GB DDR2 RAM, 1TB HD, but an ATI graphics card with a stopgap driver...), so I went and installed the HDR mod, even though i wasn't totally sure how the new patch worked with DirectX 10, or if I even have DX10. Anyways, the frame rates jumped to 20-22 for the graphics, which was noticeable, but not stellar, so I lowered my graphics settings, cursed at my video card a bit and soldiered on. Then, when lining up a screenshot, I accidentally hit Shift+F-12 instead of Ctrl+F12. The result was staggering: Frame rates jumped to over 50, even on high graphics settings! The display was a bit darker, but it's SO worth it! Anyways, I have no idea what Shift+F12 toggles, and after updating to the Feb. 2010 patch with no HDR, my frame rates are down at 10 to 14 (like on my old comp...), I was hoping to isolate what gave my system graphics afterburners and use that again. Anybody know what the Shift+F12 toggles on the HDR mod?

Nice ones, Shrike!

Isn't BlackFly also working on an Avro Arrow (), Avro CF-100 and McDonnell CF-101? I'd almost forgotten about these guys... and that TU-22 is one nice looking bomber...

It's only typical that the warmest, driest winter in history, and the Olympics are here. I'm not too far from Vancouver, and we haven't had ANY snow at all. That being said, it's still been a good show so far. CO CANADA!

Is that a two-seater? I can't tell because somebody's put some girls in the way...

Give the guy who thought that up a raise. A BIG raise.

Is that a 747 with a frikin' laser beam attached to it's nose?

If somebody got a good, clear, high-res picture of a UFO, it wouldn't be unidentified anymore. Duh. You'd be able to tell what it is. If they could only get a good pic of the ALIENS, however.... (*goes and puts on tin-foil hat*)

HELL YEAH! WHO DAT? WHO DAT? WOOOOOO!!!!!

i think I'll sit outa this one too...
