I got a Tbred 2100 that is going in the ASUS A7V8X board when I get home. Gonna drop the 2.4 in the Abit NF-7S when I get home. That 2.1 need to be unlocked? to get it to think it is a 2.6 like your screenshot? See ya Thursday nite :D Cheers Beer

Do you have MSFS? It may have found the Microsoft Flight Sim (same .exe name different directory). Rename the Microsoft exe then apply the patch it should find the Strategy First version only then. Then rename the MSFS back to it origional name. If ya dont have MSFS don't know what to tell ya. Cheers Beer

Radeon 9800 Pro on the above machine. Cheers Beer

OK got the wife a new card Asylum GF FX 5600 and dropped it in for a quick test. CPU OC to 2115 from 2000 (AMD 2.4) About 1000 points increase from the GF4 in the 2003 3D mark (Direct X 9.x test). The 2001 3D mark was slightly less then the GF4 4600ti. Well short of Fates 2003 Mark, the diff I believe the Clock Speed of the graphics Processor. The card tested is also 256 megs of memory, this did not seem to help much. The Card is 8x AGP where the GF4 4600Ti is not. Cheers Beer

PC Pilot...I don't have a day job! LOL I am the nite relief for the Captain when I do work. The words are memorized, my previous ship was an ROV support vessel, we spent alot of time at the dock waiting for work or waiting on parts for the ROV, I used to sing that song live around the Beer cooler at the dock. Great fun! I think my next one will be Kid Rocks "Cowboy" Cheers Beer

Live showing next Wednesday Nite 4 June, at that Bar on Bourbon Street (Rumrunners I think?), New Orleans, Got the Rig Manager and his Boss to entertain (this could make or break my shot at any new construction Captains/Mate Jobs) :D I will see if I can get someone to DV it fer me 8). Another live showing likely at the Dayton Airshow in July. :D Cheers Beer

Fates was toying with FRAPS, while I was toying with SVHS outputs to a DV camera... Here you have a multiplayer dogfight Mig vs F4 video is 5 megs... This is FRAPS with the game at 800x resolution. Put into MS moviemaker and output as a wmv http://www.retrorelics.net/jim/FilesDL/Movie_0004.wmv Cheers Beer

Welcome Preventer :) Lets see if we can stir up some overclocking interest here! Cheers Beer

Fates I am coming fer ya! Better save up fer a new card or learn to speed up the old one ATI 9800 inbound, and Preventer is gonna out do your 2001 score with a GF3 and a 2100 AMD on my board :) Cheers Beer

Fates passed me a 3ds sparrow launcher I have not looked at it yet but will sometime this week when I get home, I think its the box launcher found on carriers. Cheers Beer

Its at 7200, the Soviet DD was over 10,00 and worked, I am getting better at the lowering the count but I think many expierenced modelers will think that the 7200 is still too two high, I am also not doing .lod of various poly counts as I probably should be for what shows up at various distances. Also no damage .lods. I guess those will be next as I gain more expierence. Cheers Beer

Latest rendering of the improved PHM. Cheers Beer

Very Cool! Cheers Beer

The ODB and other squads (GFA, 87FIS) from Janes USAF are planning on meeting at the Dayton Ohio Show (Mid July). Being the 100th anniversery of flight, it promises to be a good one! Will post pics and an article (likely in conjunction with Fates) hopefully with streaming media (wife was pissed when I picked up the camera last month :)) Here is a link http://simdayton.homestead.com/links.html Cheers Beer

Half Life was a great break from Quake 2 (another excellent game). I am looking forward to this title, online multiplayer/lan play was a blast. Nuthin like blasting the player next ya to bits (especially if they are your friends kids!) Cheers Beer

Yep, it will be my next project, just want to get the PHM better, to tie all the the things I have learned thus far together. I am on the ship for the next two weeks, hopefully between working on my site, the PHM and the honey do list I will start up the LST in June. Cheers Beer

CH Products Fighterstick USB CH Products Prothrottle USB CH Pro Pedals USB http://www.chproducts.com/retail/usb_home.html Little bit mo money, but I am happy with the setup and its utilities for programming. Cheers Beer

Thanks Ranger for the new missions, and of course Hawker7 for making the PHM more interesting :D Yes Capun I have noticed the same thing. I guess I need to find out how to make the damage.LODs Any Ideas? I can likely animate it for the damage, but I dont know what frames the damage LOD uses (and TK has said that the damage LOD does not us animation so I am somewhat stumped). I noticed the color of the water in some of the screenshots, if you take the terrain to medium settings it will darken the water, and the hydrofoil should be visibile at its correct height in the water. Cheers Beer

Ok the new files are uploaded :D http://www.fishbeachproductions.com/SFP1/b...s_3d_models.htm is where you can find it. Whatever you do, don't click Beers Videos and then Beer singing Kid Rock...the site is a test site, it will be moved in a few weeks. Many thanks to all that have helped me struggle with Max, Map, and just tinker with making objects. Hawker7 thanks for rushing the job to meet the timeline :D . Oh just so you know what those U shape things are on the Superstructure skin they are fire hose stations with hoses draped over the saddles. Cheers Beer

Max file is enroute, hopefully the new DL will be out tonite with shooting/tracking guns. Thanks for the help! Cheers Beer

Hey is that made by Plymouth????? LOL Sorry Lake could not resist... Good thread to spread your Save the Avro Propaganda! Whatcha waiting on! Cheers Beer

Great Photos! Love the Spitfire and other historic Birds! Well worth a look for a Prop Buff. Cheers Beer

Sorry for what? Where is your 2001 3D Mark? The 2003 3D Marks test ability to use Direct X 9.x The 2001 3D Marks test ability to use Direct X 8.x (which most games are). Your Card supports Direct X 9.0. Mine does not (I would expect a lower score on the 2003 Test, in addition the 9700 is 8x AGP where the my GF4 is 4x). Beer

Here are some benchmarks before and after jacking up the FSB. I used 2001 3Dmark and 2003 3d Mark. Board is an ASUS A7V8X with a AMD XP 2.4 (2.0) processor Graphics is 4x AGP Abit GF 4 4600ti Siluro OS is Windows XP Pro Memory is 512 Megs 3200 DDR 2001 is optimized reflect DirectX 8.x performance Base Number Overclocked from 2.0 to 2.174 by uping FSB to 145 and voltage to 1.75V 2003 is optimized to reflect DirectX 9.x performance It should be noted that it is a totally different "Benchmark" than its 2001 counterpart. Base Number Overclocked from 2.0 to 2.174 by uping FSB to 145 and voltage to 1.75V Note The ABIT GF4 4600ti does not officially support the DirectX 9.x features. Cheers Beer

Nicely Done! Looking forward to that A-7! Your work is professional quailty; I always look forward to reading and seeing progression of your projects ! Same for Deuces! One question though Is the animation as the site loads a secret hyptoism device that programs Trolls not to post? Cheers Beer
