Not sure when this is coming out, but if it comes out before sunday, its recommendded we do not install it till after sundays mp session. this will give us the rest of the week to see if there are any compatibilty problems.

If i am wrong about this,,hopefully someone will correct me... Think ive read in the past,,that these messages are more annoyances,,than actuall problems.. If you go back to your cfs3config...and in overides,,,there are two settings,,,disable warnings boxes,,and disable advisory messages...if you click these,,,i think the messages will stop.. if i understand it right,,the other setting disable simulation warnings is for the things you see in the game like "near stall" and hits on your plane,,,but,,could be wrong about that...

Hmmm,,,,,well,,,dont land!.. strange thou,,,2 with the same type of problem....... wish i had a clue,,but seems you have covered all the bases.......

BHAH was tested on win7,,so dont seeing being the os...can you give us systems specs? and,,have you tried it on lower settings?

Did not know this yesterday,,which is why we spent almost 2 hours getting mismatched aircraft in mp fortisboy 1.1 modifies most,,but not all of the aircraft dm fortisboys 1.2 modifies more (if not all), of the aircraft dm so if a pilot goes to 1.2 dm,,and then reloads the 1.1 dm,,,the planes that get modified in 1.2 but DO NOT get modified in 1.1 will still be at the 1.2 dm (hope this makes sense) so,,to go back to 1.1, think a pilot has to reload the original hardcore dm,,,setting ALL the planes back to one standard,,and then apply the 1.1

The post was just for the fact that one: it has always been said that if you wanted to revert to a previouse dm, all you had to do was load the previous dm,,and you would be all set...this is not the case in dm1.2 and dm1.1 and two, wasnt sure that the 1.2 had been universally accepted as the one we where going to use.. and three,,felt it was a relavant piece of information that should be shared... but if i read winder's post about the new super patch,,,all this is mute,,,,as he indicated all previous dm's will not work with this patch...

ill go with the flow,,,whatver you guys decided on is fine with me... just to let you know,,,I did have to delete the bdp files after the 1.2 was installed,,,(first time ive had to do that)...and me and axe played,,, but when i went back to 1.1...and other ppl came on (sir rod,,,van bahr,,and dutch).. for about 2 hours..none of us could get into anothers game,,,mismatched,,and..not allways the allb's. If i had a clue what the problem was,,,i would post it.... one thing i realy think we need, is a utility,,or something,,that shows us exactly what dm we have installed...even if was as simple as a readme.txt that got put into the root of aircraft when you installed a dm...

sundays game got off to a tardy start, which considering we are trying some new things out, is in itself is not a problem. Just wanted to get everyones thoughts on finding a compromise between two equally important items,,,Getting the games up timely, and accomodating pilots who want to play. We have all shown in the past our willingness to wait for pilots who need files,,,need to reboot, etc etc, and I feel comfortable saying none of want to tell anyone we cant wait any longer, we have to start the game. And im sure pilots who run into problems feel just as bad, and would rather they do not hold up the rest of us. So, maybe we can develope a standard,,or whatever you want to call it, that determines when a scheduled game goes up. In addition to reducing delays, it will take any "personal" factor out of a decision to start without pilots... I have also added a section to the mp tuturial. It lists the currnt files that the majority of mp pilots are playing with. While probably not the best place for this info, might be a good idea to figure out a convient place where pilots wanting to join a game can verify they have the latest patch, damage model, madmats installer, and anything else needed.

yeah,,im kinda surpised myself beard.......

Hi,, Im assuming you are getting to your sliders thru cfs3config in your obd directory.. click on the "window" above the sliders.... the options you want to set are "overides" and "texture info" ,,,these are where you will find the settings unlcleal described, or any other setting recommendations you might come across in the forums'

lol..your WAY too fast for me cj........

will be on teamspeak tonight (wed) around 730 edt to help anyone with teamspeak and mp. will check THIS thread for anyone who cannot connect with teamspeak, and will try and get them up and running thru forum posts.. if you put up a post in the forum, and i dont reply right away, its probable because i am helping someone else with mp. Be patient,,will get to the forum as much as possible if you get on teamspeak, and i do not respond right away,,,dont give up,,,i wont be away for long. will not put up a game until someone gets on that needs mp help...

You forgot to pat yourself on the back too winston! You and vasco have done a terrific job setting this all up and getting it running.... we really appreciate it.

Dont think ive seen a dvii yet in the campaign...almost all alblll.... And,,not sure why this should be any different,,but ive flown several of the campaigns my myself,,,(gotta be honest,,set weapons to umlimited,,), and ive only been shot down once so far...

was looking at the pilots planet,,(pretty cool idea btw)...and noticed wf2 wasnt in NH,,,and then realised she has not posted in a really long time.....she out on tour again? at any rate,,stick her in the middle of NH,,thats close enough...

sorry,,,have not been watching this,,,if you still need a copy,,,pm me your address

what does "piltofly" mean?? gomez,,,i plan to have a help seesion for both teamspeak, and getting into mp games tonight around 730 edt...your welcome to join. if you dont have teamspeak, get it....if your having problems with setting it up,,post here,,and ill try and help you thru the forum.. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=38466

I think the 15 minute "pre game warmup".. is a great idea.. Nor do i think a pilot having a problem and holding up things should be construed as them being rude, stupid, inconsiderate, or anything else.. There isnt a single one of us that hasnt held up things at one point in time..... I think the phrase im looking for is "s**t happens"

Cant see why you should have a problems with cfs3 on vista64...too many ppl here have that os,, Seeing as how you dont have problems with BHAH, going to assume you did all the "run as administrator", and "run in xp compatibilty mode" settings for the exe's

If the dev's ever do manage to get the Ai to the point where everyone is happy with AI performance they will either be kidnapped by the military and never heard from again,,or they will end up working for NASA...

been doing lousy in campaings latly,,,so went to do some pratice,,both in qc (se5 vrs allb) and rerunning the last mission by myself.. got behind this named ace,,and shot off one lower wing ...so disengaged with him, and went off looking for another plane to shoot... While im engaged with another plane,,this moron manages to get behind me and starts shooting me,,,so i had to disengage,,turn around and finish him off.. but,,,ai should not be able to fly like this plane did with one wing missing..

Have to agree with van baur to some extent. It appears that improvments to dm's are coming out at a pretty fast clip, and if we try and keep up with them in mp we are going to be having the same problems over and over. And while i dont particularly like saying to ppl this is what you have to have in order to play, unfortunatly its out of our control....we all have to be the same. As far as " enough posts already", i agree with that too. Definatley gotta get rid of some redundant stickies. But these posts are not for pilots that already know what needs to be done. These are for pilots just entering mp, and pilots that have not played for a while and are getting back into a game. and have to find an easy place where pilots can find out at minimum, the latest patch, dm, and whatever to avoid mismatches. but ax was the only one that gave any answer to my original question...("half hour is too much") can we agree on a format that determines when we start scheduled games.... If we can,,the host wont have to feel bad about starting when pilots are not ready, and pilots left out will (or should) understand that this is the format, and when they get squared away, they can always join a game in progress. I think i made my position clear sunday, i would prefer to see everyone get into the game, but its only my position, and i admitt its unrealistic...the delays are just getting too long. Dont want to get this off on a tangent, but BigJim did have one valid point,,,we where getting hammered sunday by the ai...anyones thoughts on maybe toning down the skill level of the ai? This is just a question.......not a suggestion..
