Bad weather is rolling in. Perfect time for a flight with the Marine's A-6.

i still have the cd with all the Aces games from Sierra. not too sure if they will work on my pc tho.

ever since i had the chance to get my own boots in the military, i have always been impressed with the comfort and ability of Magnum boots. they offer every type you can think of, and most are super lightweight, and are comfortable like sneekers. my last pair was a pair or 8" side zipper Vipers without the steel toe. they are very comfortable and have lasted me now doing security and public safety jobs for 4 years and dont even look worn. ive never had any luck with Bates since those were the ones i got issued alot in the Air Force. im not entirely sure where i bought the last set of Magnums from but they came out to $64 instead of like $119 that Galls wanted for them. im pretty confident it was http://www.bargainoutfitters.com tho.

-1 for the Falcon Install. +5 for installing a Jane's game. :)

heres my honorable mention. i had to get rid of it sadly tho due to the cost of gas, and i needed something with more interior space. but man i loved this truck to death. 2002 Dodge Dakota Reg Cab 4x4. Metallic Graphite paint. looked really good when it was clean.

ok well of all the sims this only happens in WoV. the game runs great, and looks amazing with green hell 2. but with every single version of the game ive tried, unmodded, lightly modded, GH2, doesnt matter. the minute i get into enemy space and they start launching off like 30 sams at me, my computer just bogs down to no end. i drop to 2 or 3 fps, and i cant even play the mission any further. aslong as no sams fire off at anytime in a mission, the game runs nice and smooth between 25 and 60 fps no matter how crowded the sky gets. any ideas on why it bogs down like this when sams launch?

well i chopped the number of sams down to half of what it was, and its not as bad now. i also dropped the sound down to 8 bit. im guessing it may be all the radio chatter once all the flights start calling in sam launches every split second. but i still cant narrow it down. but atleast now its playable

Whos a badass? That's right, I am! got 9 MiG kills this mission over Vietnam, and i didnt even loose my wingie.

yeah its more then likely the amount of sams getting fired off. i tend to see about 15-25 telephone poles shooting up at my formation when i get into a target area. and the radio traffic goes nuts. i just upgraded my video card to a ati x1650pro 512mb, and added another gig of ram to bring me up to 2. other then that im running a celedron 2.93ghz processor, winxp sp3. ill try the ini edit first, and see if it helps. if not ill try to reduce some of the radio traffic or maybe lower the sound quality a bit.

2007 Suzuki SX4 AWD not the most expensive or best looking car, but it is unstopppable in winter weather, and handles the twisty mountain roads like a dream, plus i get 30mpg or more once the money is saved up, it will get turned into a rallycross car. and yes, thats an AMC Eagle SX/4 in the background, the thing is a beast

i do fine with 1280x1024 German MiG's On Patrol

having seen the plan in person at the museum, it is a very odd, but capable looking craft

ive always been fond of female drivers... like this one D'OH!

that plane is more twitchy then super maneuverable.

ok so i went from an old ati 9800 pro 128mb card, to a new saphire x1650pro 512mb card, and it runs the game amazingly. havent had any problems yet with the so called shadow bugs... but there is one thing that keeps happening, in WOE, WOV and WOI. i keep getting a CTD error saying something about the groundobject.dll file. now i installed a fresh copy of both WOE and WOV on a seperate drive, and patched them, and thats it, and ran those games, and i still get the same error. is there something wrong with the game not liking this video card? the only other thing that ive installed recently was another gig of ram wtih a heatsink because 1 gig was getting slow when i run my photoshop and after effects programs. anyone have any ideas? basic system specs: Intel Celeron 2.93ghz 2 gig Ram ATI Sahire X1650pro 512mb video card onboard sound running windows xp sp2

i think i figured out what was causing the error, tho i dont know why. i had recently bought another gig of ram, and after browsing the Thirdwire forums, someone else had a similar problem after upgrading ram. so i pulled the stick and swapped its spot with the original stick. gave them the good ol' chinese firedrill, and ever since then, i havent had any ctd issues.

v04.23.06 for the unpatched unmodded version i just ditched the omega drivers for the video card, and am going to try the catalyst drivers to see if it makes a difference

yeah ive tried that ctd fix, didnt seem to do anything. ive got three installs of WoE, one plain stock, not even patched, one moded with the weapons and widesky, and my main install that is modded to no end.... all three do the CTD. i did three installs to see if i could narrow down what the cause might be, and so far nothing. according to the Directx tools, im running 9.0C (4.09.0000.0904)

ever since the upgrade, every time i play it happens. it can take as quick as a few seconds while sitting on the runway, or sometimes i can almost finish a mission and then it will hit. would it be something in the bunyaps weapons pack or maybe the widesky mod? if it is ive never had a problem with them before when i was running less ram and a worse video card. here is the error i get when the CTD hits

well ive got a x1650pro 512meg on order from newegg, i pray that it will be a better card then this aging 9800pro im using, that and another gig of ram may help a bit. oh and because of this site, i had to order a 500gig hard drive. my 120 gig drive is just about maxed out thanks to all the great mods of this game.

i love me some mud moving with the A-10.... but occasionally i will fly whatever else looks tempting at the time. even tho i was stationed at a base with 4 squads of F-16's im not really all that fond of them.

hell of a job on the video.... now all we need it someone to redo some of the video briefings from say US Navy Fighters... but using the TW sims for the video. could be good stuff.

man i wish WoV didnt run like such a pig on my machine

imagine how i feel playing this game with a ati 9800pro 128mb card, overclocked with an arctic cooling system on it. the rest of the pc is up to snuff, but since ive never had luck with nvidia, they always crap out on me in a few months, i decided to give an old ati card a try. it plays every game i can toss at it well, except these TW sims, they bog down on occasion. WoE and WoI are fine, but i cant even play Wov, the flak just kills my system to to like 2fps. i get normally around 30 in the other two sims.
