Ditto!

I use high res exclusively. With a large hi res monitor they are a very noticeable improvement inside and out.

I thought that was hilarious. I watched a bunch more of those. Thanks for that, had never heard of those guys before being a Yank.

I had this happen as well while flying for the Germans. It was during take off and there was a locomotive and several cars on the landing strip. They where not connected to each other, just sort of lined up like a used train lot. They were there when I landed after the mission also. They were not there on any of the following missions I flew with that pilot. I was not to worried about it after it went away so I did not bother to remember what Jasta or what the date and or mission type was. I just thought I would let you know you were not alone.

My guess... May be an unintended artifact from moving the train stations and tracks about. Just a guess.

Cheers,

I ran OFF on Vista X64 and now I run it on Win7 X64. I found a great performance increase on Win 7. about 1/3 improvement in speed, smoothness and general stability.

HTH

I always go Hi-res. The planes just look too good not to. IMHO.

Interesting bunch here; these are some of my Interests at present.

1. Musician: Vocalist / Harmonica player at present but have been playing music since my Punk Rock days in the 80's.

2. Off highway driving: Lots of open country to explore in the great American Southwest. I enjoy finding old mines and such from the gold rush days.

3. Classic car restoration: Currently have a 1955 Buck special 95% complete.

4. History Buff: Mostly military, but I am also fascinated by the Sagas and read what I can find; Nordic, Icelandic, Greenland, etc.

5. Also build custom computers; mostly for myself and sometimes for friends and family members.

6. And of course; computer gaming.

Thanks for sharing and letting me share.

Target fixation kills me above all things. I have TrackIR too and have no excuse for not looking about. I get on that tail and it's like a giant chum bucket, let the feeding frenzy begin.

Being given the source code now for RB3D would be a bit like suddenly finding yourself with the patent rights and build drawings for a coal oil lantern. There just won't be much market for anything you can do with it.

 

Cheers!

That made me laugh. You said it all with that.

I used Alacrity when I was running Vista 64. It helped quite a bit. I would say about 15FPS better. I now run the Windows 7 RC and no longer use it; I have found that OFF runs much better on it and have not needed the boost.

I like wolves and I like Nordic mythology. There ya go.

I believe that I have heard it said that if you land or even if your wheels touch the ground the mission timer will end. I have never checked that for myself though. I have had some close calls where I have bounced the carriage a few times but never bothered to check the time.

Cheers!

You have me down just right. The middle of nowhere in the vast desert southwest.

Cheers!

It's a bit dark in the cave and I have no flash, but there you go.

That was brilliant! Thanks.

Well, how's it feel being a 'Lab Rat'? . . Not you but your fancy new computer sure is. If you're maxed out, you're boldly going where no man has gone before. Everything looks fine NOW . . check in a few days. As none know what is around the next corner. The Developers have stated: 'Don't exceed 4 on Terrain' Do they have a reason for printing it in the FAQ or not ? We'll See

Yup, well aware of that. But what the hell. Ive always had terrain on 4 and clouds on 3 before. In phase 2 and 3 on the vista system. I don't think anything will blow up. If it starts to sag Ill change it. I tried it on my old system but it protested right off the bat. Actually same system, new OS.

Cheers.

Good Evening Fenris,

 

Yuppers, a 64-bit OS makes a world of difference. I've been running XP 64 Pro since I built my OFF computer and it is lightning fast.

 

Cheers!

I was using vista 64 when I switched to windows 7 64. Just to make myself clear.

And good evening to you as well.

Just a quick word to those who may be wondering/worrying. I am seeing an immense improvement with both. Running Off max settings, almost no jaggies at all. Sim is running smooth as glass. I am absolutely pleased and astonished. I must say my performance has at the very least doubled.

These are my specs.

Maximus Formula

Q9300 @ 2.60 GHz

8 gigs of OCZ reaper

2 HD3870 X fire mode. Direct X 11 running @ 1920 x 1080

2 x WD raptors Raid 0

Cheers!

Sorry forgot to add I was using vista when I switched over.

I have heard the developers say that they have not tested with 3head2go but I believe I saw an early post where someone manged to get it working with three monitors.

But I am with the rest of them, look at TrackIR. for one thing it will save you a bundle on all those tubes.

I for one use a 46" monitor and TrackIR. My cockpit is almost full scale with that size screen.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that free track is only 2 DOF and TIR supports 6 DOF. OFF supports 5 DOF basically everything but Roll.

Thanks for the welcome! This is a great community with allot to offer. I think I might even give some of these FE mods a go.

Cheers!

Thanks for the info, I really like that game room you have there. That's a real mans room, I don't see the beer tap in any of those shots though.

Does Track IR work in that sim?

That looks very intriguing. The smoke and flames; did you model that with stretched out cotton? It looks really cool. Impressive work, thanks for sharing that.

I have never seen those WWI miniatures before, kind of reminds me of my old days of D&D and the hours of painting tiny little figures into the wee hours of the morning till I went blind .

Ain't gonna Lie . .Phase 3 BHaH installs no problem on Vista 32 & 64

 

Phase 2 was written with XP in mind, due the fact when the work was started on Phase 1. Vista wasn't even on the drawing boards at Micro$oft

 

Quite a few have gotten it to run on Vista 32.

 

Very few have gotten it to run on Vista 64

I had phase 2 running on Vista 64 with little trouble. Just a bit of tinkering.

Phase 3 no problems at all.

One niggle that I haven't decided how to solve is raising my monitor. My table is kinda high and I had to swivel my chair far too far down for it to be comfortable in order to align my eyes with TrackIR.

I use a 47" monitor so the TIR receiver is a good 15" over my head and slightly to my left, and I have no issues. I just point it towards my self using the swivel on the base.

HTH
