Twizard

rgr. I think my old computer or graghics card may have had a fan issue. Just burned. I guess I am still suffering from "gamer's PTSD". As an aside, if you look at my specs in my first post, any reason i couldn't go on World of Tanks?

My Nvidia (,which has been set as the default graphics card) has both. I'm not worried about the graphics. I wonder about whether or not the quad core or more specifically one of the core's is being over stressed by the game engine. My old Dell XPS 410 dual core ran fine with this game.

Thanks. You may laugh but I went through two graphics cards. The stock GeForce on the Dell and an upgraded one that I replaced it with and eventually transferred to this computer. I was getting glowing green vertical lines and blue screens in my sleep! Finally I upgraded further on this machine at the suggestion of the local Geek Squad and have had no problems except for the slight lag in IL-2 (small fraction of a second) that I did not get with my less powerful Dell. You ease this air combat addict's mind and conscience considerably :sohappy:

Am I frying my processor though?

I have a HP Pavilion with a AMD A6-3620 Quad core, 8 GB DDR 3, AMD Radeon HD 65300 BUT with a Nvidia GeForce GT520 (2 GB of DDR3) as an add on Dedicated graghics card. Previously, I had a DeLL XPS 410 with a Geforce 8600 graghics card, which I somehow fried not only the card but the PCI graphics port. I am a little "gun shy" now. Even with the power of the new computer. My default graghics is to the GT520 but I am actually seeing a slight lag in IL-2 Sturmovic in three instances: with radio calls and text, explosions and clouds. Am I over stressing the Quadcore somehow or am I over stressing myself here. Please give me some insight on the matter. If not now, when should I be concerned.

P.S. I have done nothing crazy like changing clock speed or anything like that.

How do I get this file deleted? My 1.2 version is the same thing but with corrections made.

OK, is somebody making LOMAC skins for these?

Something that would be unthinkable when I was even in college! People have already forgotten how things have changed internationally in the last 25 years.

Thanks Dave. When i have time I will check it out. Too bad these newest updates are not on cnet.org

I got malware or a virus from a high level bombing chart file in M4T.

I Am very frustrated. I can't find a 1946 4.10 patch site that I can trust. Mission for today sends you to mirror sites that have known virus/malware issues according to Norton. The Italian site I don't know about. Any suggestions. I have had too many close calls to justify going on a dirty site.

Using the same map, I have a pair of SBDs patrolling near a French controlled island (the Colonial Administrators have Vichy French sympathies). They spot another raider (trawler selected blue Axis, if you can ignore the Russian flag) as nestled in a lagoon with two U boats. Its actually a much more difficult mission than the first. Its hard not to get shot down!

Yep, I have a mission using the Pacific Islands Map, where a flight responds to a call from a PBY. There is a Nazi "raider" (cargo ship, or even better a trawler because they have guns) that is a disguised U-boat tender. Its caught imn the act of tending 3 U-boats. The SBDs come to the aid of the PBY and later a PB4Y (B-24) joins the party. I'm working on 1941 and 42 skins for the A-24 (USAAF version of SBD) for use in New Guinea and defense of Java "Malaysia Singapore Map".

I evetually will download these but I have had some "dirty" downloads from "missionfortoday.com".

A good video on skip bombing was created by DART:

Thanks guys, I have since purchased 1946 and I truly have to say its one of the best flight sims I have seen. It runs beautifully on my Dell. I'm up to 4.09 on the patches. The way trees and other background graphics are handled to save on frame rates is pure genius!!!
