dial up? damn,,how many days did it take you do download the superpatch?

will try and quickly explain how superpatch and new options apply to mp pilots the same problem with fov settings that occured with the "L" patch still apply with superpatch. if a pilot changes fov settings in workshop, then they will modify the xdp files in their aircraft folder, and cause a mismatch when joining a game. It does not make a difference if everyone has the same fov setting. Its the time the files where created that causes the mismatch. The superpatch puts new folders in your obd software\wwi scenery folder. The default folder contains aircraft files that are stock to the superpatch. The offline folder contains aircraft files that you want to use for single player The online folder contains aircraft files that you want to use for mp. After installing superpatch, only folder that has any files is default. In workshop, lower left, there are new settings that contoll what files get into the online craft and offline craft folders, and how these files are loaded into the game. If you click "backup as online", you will copy whatever xdp (and possibly other) files in your current aircraft directory to the "online craft" folder. Highly recommend all mp pilots do this right away. Now, lets say you want to adjust your fov settings for single play. When done making your settings to fov, select "backup as offline", and it will copy the xdp files in your aircraft directory to the "offline craft" folder. Now you have to set it up so when you get into a mp game, the game will automatically load the files in your "online craft" into your aircraft directory. If you click the radial "Auto MP Contol On", when ever you get into a mp game (ie,,whenever cfs3mp.exe is started), it will load up your "online craft" files into the aircraft directory. Going to make an assumption on the "always/never autoback offline" I think what this does, if you exit cfs3.exe (single player executable), it will backup your current xdp files in your aircraft directory to the offline craft folder. So if you are constantly making changes to fov, you would want this setting on. Or, it could mean when you start a sp game, it takes the files from your online craft, and loads them to your aircraft directory. Kind of a "auto sp contol on" So,,if you DO NOT change the fov settings, and never plan to change or adjust them, all you have to do (for safty sake) is a "backup as online", select "auto mp contol off", and select "never backup as offline" as long as you dont fiddle with fov,,you will be ok. If you want different fov settings for you single play modes, you have to set it up to reload the online files. If you get really screwed up,,you can reload the files from your "off default" folder by hitting restore off default,,, If i am wrong about any of this,,,dont hesitate to correct me. hope this made sense,,,cause i didnt have a clue what it all did when we first got the beta.

no,,,now you gotta check out multiplayer....

CTL+SHFT+L (LABELS...) YOU GET EVERYTHING WITH THIS,,(GROUND OBJECTS...PLANES...)

i wanna know how he managed to get 5 replies with 0 views......

i think you have the gotha in your aircraft directory twice. one might be in a folder called "gotha", and the other might be in a folder called "60_sqd Gotha", but the files inside the folders are the same,,and the game picks up on that fact.

will be on teamspeak at 7 edt....will look everyso often...so if i dont answer right away,,,give me some time to notice.

am going to try and be on around 7-8 edt tonight primarily to help carrick. If he gets squared away, will put up some games.

got some things i have to do today, and not sure when i will be free, but hopeing it will be around 7edt. so if thats a good time for you,,,watch this thread,,,,and i will post here when i can get on teamspeak. meanwhile,,if you have cfs3 intsalled on your computer,,,do me a favor,,and play it a little. would be curious to know how it plays. If it plays fine,,then we can narrow the problem down to a bhah issue,,,,if it plays as bad as bhah,,then it sounds like a system issue.

imho...if you havnt already, try out rabus settings for cfs3config, and consider looking at alacricty, which shuts down services you dont need when running the game. didnt say if you had pcie or not, going to assume you have agp/pci... If i was going to upgrade the video, i would not spend much more than 80bucks on a card. Would think a top of the line card on that system would be so bottlenecked by cpu that you would be wasting money (just my opinion) bottom line,,,,start saving.....put you money into something thats going to be good,,,,not mediocre

Hi, cant say i remeber the session you mentioned (maybe you used another name back then?)....but if you cant get straightened out,,,give me a day and time, and ill try and get back on teamspeak with you.. i have ati, and was having tons of problems...outta desperation i dropped ver 9.6,,,and went all the way back to 9.2,,,and the game is playing great.. like al said,,,newest isnt always best..

Know the update is not complete. but can not find a link to update my subscription. Went to "manage paid subscriptions", and there is no link on that page. Is it somewhere else,,,or is it something that will be there eventually..(or did someone screw up...)

I am going to that page, but, there is nothing in the way of a link. Is it maybe cause i'm paid up thru sept 9th? That "basket" icon in the left does nothing

will try to get on a little earlier than 8 tongiht if i can...

will try and have something up around 8ish tuesday nite. Can be for flying, or if anyone needs assistance with mp or teamspeak. session down

anyone notice a drop in fps since they went to 1.32b? or should i just get the gun out...

From a session today with axe and dutch, (just played with dutch the other day, and he mismatched after installing 1.32e) going to suggest settings that will help eliminate mismatchs for mp pilots. Keep in mind, these are only for pilots who dont fiddle with fov settings. If you have a need to change your fov, you will need a different setup mp control OFF selected. never backup offline selected. click on restore defaults, and let it do the restore. Say yes when it promts to backup as offline,,and say yes when it says to backup to online. this should bring you to the point where all your folders have the default aircraft files, and should allow you into games without mismatchs.

will try and have a couple sessions up saterday around 830 will post ip when games are up am on teamspeak, (730 edt) will see of ppl show up as forum was down most of the day.

why would you want it to stop? i havnt played qc inna while,,only cause i could not get it to respawn,,,once they took that button off,,,does this mean its working again?

first,,thanks to stump fro and dudley for helping me test a mission... due to a slight "blonde" moment on my part, the mission had 64 dvll's spawning in front of our formation of 16....looked like confeti on my screen...... Hurrincane bill is scheduled to bear down on this area sunday morning. Worst case scenario is the obvious,,,,best case scenario is we will just get hugh coastline action. In either case,,,i probably will not be able to get on,,,im either gonna be at home hoping onna my trees doesnt crash over,,,or on a beach looking for lobsters... have fun

have a mission i want to test out, so will try and have a game up around 10ish,,,edt will post ip, and get on teamspeak when ready may get tied up with a cookout,,,,but will do my best to get this up and running...

lol...sorry stump,,,inna different time zone here,,,or the date on the computer at work is wrong,, its for tonight,,but didnt know my family had different planes for me,,,,,(cookout) will try and make it back in time to get the game up

stratos,,,im not good at mission building,,( i think this is what you want to do,,,build your own missions),,,,but if you want to get teamspeak (look at the mp tuturial in the mp sticky section of the forum) and let me know a good day/time,,ill try and hook up with you to give you the basics... naturally,,you will need a mic....
