Piecemeal

Thanks for the info there guys. Happy: I did a bit of comparing between your AMD control centre and mine (with a little help from Google Translate!) and made some changes to mine. I'll try it out in a couple of minutes. The cockpit mirrors are something I may have to consider turning off. daddyairplanes: Upsizing my RAM has been something I've been considering since I got my new graphics card last year. When he installed the card, my brother said that more memory wouldn't necessarily mean higher framerates - but then again my brother never played the SF2 series. Definitely something to consider.

Registry cleaning is something I've gotten into the habit of doing weekly, along with anti-virus scanning, defragging, etc. It's amazing the amount of crap that your PC can pick up over seven days.

Hi Centurion. What era were you trying to fly a mission in? ('60s, '70s, '80s) More often than not I've often had the same problem when trying to fly in any time from the mid 70s onwards. I tried finding the problem by adding my groundobjects back into the game one at a time but the results were inconclusive. In the end I still wasn't able to pin down the problem. It must be a groundobject issue though cos when I removed all of them from the "OBJECTS/GROUNDOBJECT" folder it worked just fine. With all the objects in the folder it's a case of Russian roulette - sometimes it'll start, sometimes it'll crash To be honest I thought more people would be having this issue but surprisingly you're the only one I've heard of (apart from me) with this. Maybe it's a bad entry in the DESERT4_TYPES.ini file. I might try and go through it over the weekend when I've time.

Can't remember the last time I was at the flicks. In my opinion the quality of entertainment on the big screen over the past five or six years has gone waaaaaaaaaaay down. So many rehashes; so many script writers who couldn't write a one line limerick..... While I'm not doubting the hardship that Luttrell endured, but from watching the trailer I can't help but think that this is one more story of bravery hijacked by Hollywood for financial gain.

That R530 from the Mirage pack seemed to do the trick. Thanks Ludo

Hi Ludo. Since last Thursday I've been using Ravenclaw's hi-res French missile models from this thread: http://combatace.com/topic/81120-matra-super-530-missile-info/ (scroll down to Ravenclaw's thread entry for 30th January, 10:30am)

This has got to be one of the best aircraft mods since Ravenclaw's Buccaneer. Well done guys. Too bad I can only play it on the default terrains. Polys are a little bit too high for my desktop to cope; despite reducing the resolution of the skins by 50%. Methinks I should start looking for a new rig. EDIT: Just wondering; has anybody had trouble loading the old R530s on the inner wing pylons? I noticed that when looking at the loadout in-game, they're not loaded by default.

Stay strong

And so say all of us!!!!

Anybody got one of these on the hard drives? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigercat_missile

Cheers Eric. Got darius on my HD. Will check out in a while.

I think my interest in flying an SF2:E campaign is taking a sudden leap. That is a fantastic piece of work, Rends!

Hi all. I was contacted a while ago by another member who has this problem on Desert4: I thought I had it sorted as I made a few changes to some files and passed them on to him. If I remember correctly, there was a similar problem with another terrain before. Something to do with SHD files for the said objects. All seems OK at my end, even with the shadow effects on "Unlimited". Anybody know of a fix?

Thanks for that, Rends. I've passed that info on. For anybody looking for the replacement pit1.LOD, look no further than here: http://combatace.com/files/file/13582-pit1rar/

Hi there JDUK. The answer to your query is quite simply no. The mod folder itself is called "DESERT4"; the stock terrain folder, if it's already in your terrains folder is called "Desert". In SF2I, the stock terrain is called "IsraelME"

Desert V.4 .............. uploaded and awaiting approval

Hi guys. Things are just about wrapped up here with Desert V4. I'm almost ready to upload it to the downloads section - but not before a few "minor" cosmetic changes are made: Admittedly these errors are of my own making; I asked baffmeister to flatten the surfaces of these islands so that objects would sit more naturally on the surface. The result was the above pics. Other areas within the map such as new airfield sites and oversized mountains were perfectly levelled, but possibly the island issues happened because of the land/sea tiles. If anyone could help out with this I'd be really grateful, as I'd rather not upload the terrain as is. Oh yeah, one more question; does anybody know why every carrier based single mission has the convoy situated just off the Parani coast? Any help with these issues would be appreciated.

Great stuff baffmeister. The islands are back to looking like their old selves once more. I owe you one Wrench - correct me if I'm wrong, but with a _WATER.bmp in a navalised terrain, then there's no need for shipping routes in the MOVEMENT.ini? I have a terrain specific WATER.bmp and shipping routes in the MOVEMENT.ini Water.bmp :

Thanks for the quick reply lads. Baffo; here you go. As requested: HFD_and _TFD_Files.rar The mod is based on the stock Desert terrain I've renamed them DESERT.HFD and DESERT.TFD just for your convenience. Wrenchie boy! Long time no hear! Checking the Movement INI out now

Impressive. Most impressive.

Low & fast - a lesson learnt the hard way

Hang in there bro. We're all right behind you! :clapping:
