does it ? have to go check that ... (hate that uninstall cleanup, reinstall procedures, not to mention that with 3.10 i know that LOMAC rocks, will have to check again with 3.7 -3.6 etc)

I even have some glitches that didnt had with the GF3, like pieces of the runway that are near the monitor bottom border flickering/flashing.

The thing is that i got this card to be able to fly LOMAC (was unplayable with the GF3) LOMAC now is realy transformed , the combination of 9600XT with LOMAC is realy outstanding , but dont like one bit the idea that i might end up with less perfomance and image quality than the GF3 in the rest of the games ....

Have you guys checked your AA ? is it present in the game ? (you may not be able to spot its absence because you run the game in very high resolutions) Can you maybe try for me a test run of SF with AA enabled from the cat control panel , and SF on 1024x768@32 ? would apreciate that.

nope, 1024x768@32 is the res i run all my games. even if AA work in higher resolutions i prefer 1024x768 to help my rig framerate perfomance. Have you tried 1024x768x32 yourself ? do you have AA there ? An also i have strange flashes on the runway , flickers from time to time showing the ground tiles underneath or something. I had none of those issues with my old GF3. With both cards i had all graphics settings to their highest values.

Win XP pro SP1

Fresh windows installation pc, clean SF install, patch1 then patch 2 and STILL no FSAA with RADEON 9600XT and slower framerate in cockpit than my previous GeForce3. Cats 3.10

There must be something done about the relationship of this sim with Radeons ... i am not going back to GF3 or Cats 3.7 only because of SF ...

cats are 3.10

AA works perfectlly on LOMAC though :( ....

Guys tell me more about those ATI issues, you have more info to share ? what other games are suffering ?

Thanks

I get no anti alias on SF with my new 9600 XT. Any ideas?

I had a GF3 and worked perfectly with SF, except the shadows issue and this woulnt be an issue with all planes anyways , just with some of them.

I got a radeon 9600 XT (those 9500 pro and above radeons really rock) which allows me to play the lomac now (i couldnt with the GF3) but i havent seen the slightest improvement in SF , doh? No to mention that the situation with shadows enabled is worst than with the GF3 AND SF is also not using the Anti Alias no matter what setting i will give it from the Catalyst control panel (doh?)

And yeah where that radlinker link ?

oh so thats what FFG is . Thank you capun

is PHM maybe released ?

got released maybe ?

i have seen that similar layer of clouds (not blueish as here as it was i guess from the stock clouds of SFP1) in other screenshots too and i cant figure out how to get that in my SFP1

Squid,

If you have the weapons editor you can change the Mk20 to retarded and up the the exlosives mass.

 

although it drops just like iron (no dragchute)

 

In real life the Mk20 family doesn't use a chute to slow it down, the fins give it some spin and a lineur charge splits it in half. I put a link in another Thread to the museum at NAWS China Lake,check it out for some good ordnance shots.

Thanks Firehawkordy :)

Very nice! May be my machine but the cloud tops seem a bit blue, but I still am diggin it!  ;)  Second image I get some tearing, but only to the left rear of the a/c, none anywhere else. For your records :video is a GeForceFX 5900:

I cant get to this level of detail with clouds when flying above the layer, either with or without this tweak I just never see that flufy layer of clouds , either in overcast or inclement

Striker the info goes into the environment ini that is included with the download...sorry for taking so long to get back to you.

  Squid,you can find the A-7 here at Biohaz in the download section.

The A-7 yes, but not the USAF skin ( i guess i am just demonstrating impatience about the D/E release :P )

I programmed the engine so far. Proud I am of the landscape, slightly better than IL2 in some respects (if I do, oh so humbly say so myself ;-) ) - i dont rate SFP1's lanscape engine, but their aircraft rendering is really rather exceptional.

 

I bought that game - it is fun.

i FULLY support your project ! B) . Indeed plane render is nice in SFP1 apart from the shadows casting which is realy bugy and a fps killer. Land i dont mind too with an exception for the sea. What i like though about SFP1 is that i can have everything enabled and set to high and still play smoothly with my average to low side pc. (Athlon XP1700+, 1Gb PC133 RAM, GF3 64MB)

I would advise as a simmer to pay attention to the lessons of LOMAC (and FS2002-04 where framerate and playability has been improved from 02 to 04 (!) ... ) which is unplayable in its almost full glorious graphics potential for an average pc

I am also looking for the Ritchie / DeBellevue Oyster F-4D skin if there is one somewhere

Thanks

yeah where do we get that A-7 USAF skin (till the release of D/E) ?

with that tweak at least theres some visual evidence that the bomb did explode and where, although it drops just like iron (no dragchute) and has a damage magnitude similar to mk81 i think

Who needs Virtual reality when ya got drugs man... ;)

I recall i told you once that your site's layout is cluttered , kind of confusing , but the forums have a different design that doesnt have that flaw , maybe you got used to clutter ? :D

surely happens with the addon planes (maybe with the stock ones cant remmember , will check)

The screenshots remind me in a way the looks of SFP1 ? (enviroment-graphics engine? i dont know)

Is it normal that my planes noses swing up and down SO MUCH while waiting for break release / take-off on the runway in the beginning of a flight ? This is SO unrealistic and annoying, is there a fix maybe around for that or something?

Thanks ! :D i figured that out right after my posting :P but was lazy to delete it B)
