Never been entirely conviced the problem with mp dogfights is cfs3 code. Mission Mp just plays too good for this to be the case (imho) So as soon as i get caught up with work , would like to try out a few things to see if the game play in dogfight cant be improved. Anyone wishing to assist, let me know. Will need to have cfs3 installed. And while I dont have anything drastic to try, definatly not anything that should mess up an installation, can not guarantee that will be the case...

yes,,,just reinstall the hard dm but gotta admit,,,the 1.1 damage model is pretty impressive,,,(not saying historically accurate here,,,but impressive) was right behing an enemy aircraft, when all of a sudden his top wing came right off...didnt have time to get out of the way so collided with the wing,,,, same sort of thing happened to winston....

cant say if this is the source of your problem with video or not,,,but if you go to the sony support page for that computer,,,max memory is only 2 gig..... MODEL PCV-RS430G PROCESSOR Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 2.80C GHz† with Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology CACHE MEMORY 512KB Integrated On-Die Level 2 FRONT SIDE BUS SPEED 800MHz STANDARD RAM 512MB PC-2700 333MHz DDR (expandable to 2.0GB) HARD DRIVE 120GB††3 7200rpm Ultra ATA/100 Hard Drive DVD±RW / CD-RW DRIVE*** DVD±RW -RW (4X max. write / 2X max. rewrite / 2X max. read) +RW (4X max. write / 2.4X max. rewrite / 2.4X max. read) CD-RW (16X max. write / 10X max. rewrite / 32X copied all that off of this site http://www.docs.sony.com/release/specs/PCVRS430G_mksp.pdf

you should have 4 slots...didnt say anything about matched pairs, so i think your ok there i have a 512 stick, and 2 256 stick of pc2700 here if you want them,,just pm me your address. as far as video card,,could not find anything about that system not taking a 512 card. there is a good chance that card might have had a 4pin power connector on it, (the same one you would use for a hard drive, or cdrom)... any chance you missed that? And, if it takes a power cord, and you plugged one in, i might try it again with one of the other 4pin connectors off of someting you know is getting power,,like a cdrom...

Hopefully you will get some more input from other people so you will have more opinions to weigh. That ram is pc3200 or pc2700. Pretty old stuff in the scheme of things... Gonna stick with my original statement.....any money you sink into this is gonna be a waste. So yes,,take that memory back. Let me know how many empty memory slots you have, and i will find out exactly what memory your computer takes, and will send you some if you have room for it, just to get you up above whatever it is you have now. Actually, you wont be terribly dissapointed at how the game plays on your system, you are just going to have to tone down all your detail sliders. Unless you start looking at others screenshots,,and start seeing some of the things they are seeing, you should be pretty content with the game. Will see what i can find as far as that model and not taking the card,,,,, btw,,,exactly what card is it you are trying to stick in there?

sorry, should have clarified my first answer to you... that computer will play bhah. Ive played it on pretty much the same computer, but think i was running with a 2.9 celeron. I pretty much ran with sliders at i think 5 2 2 2 1 Point i was trying to make was that if you sink money into the system, it will obviously play better, but will never play great, and would recommend you just make the best of what you get in the game with your existing system until you are ready to get a nice gaming computer. what is the model# of the computer?

just outta curiosity,,,is it just the dr1's?....

sorry for you loss,,but imho get out for as cheap as you can... I dont think you can bring that computer up to a point where you will be happy with how bhah plays. Gotta feeling at most its pc3200 memory, probably does not have a pcie slot, and probably does not support sata... So any money you put into it is probably money out the window... oh,,,and get a new computer guy....

rb3d multiplayer,,, i was getting hammered pretty bad first couple days...so changed my login name to sitting duck,,,,seemed appropriate

Welcome aboard Paul! Always great to get new players into the forum, and even better to get new multiplayer pilots (expecially for vasco.....) Im sure you will be amazed at the amount of support we give new players, and the efforts we make to get them into teamspeak and games. Vasco is in your neck of the woods, so is in the same time slot as you. Dont hesitate to pm him with any questions you may have. Winson puts up games sunday at 5pm primarily to allow players from both your area and ours to get on at the same time. Look forward to seeing you in the air!

Uriah, i am going to assume you tried dogfight. Granted, there are some promlems with dogfighting in mp, but for all intentional purposes, they do not exist in mission multiplayer. Belive there is a sunday mission planned.

. c:\documents and settings\xxxxxxxx\application data (appdat in vista)\microsoft\cfsww1 overflanders fields.. where xxxxx can either be administrator, or your user name, depending on how your computer is set up find the mine.xca...this is your keyboard map as you have set it up in the controls section. do belive if you save it,,and loose your system, copying over the saved one will give you back your previous maps....

Im assuming we are talking about the ver2.0 patch.... anyone wanting to see it in mp should post in this thread http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=44498 if winder sees enough interest maybe we will include in the latest patch, which i think would be great.

yes, i would really like to see that damage model included too...

homeboy...wow...those settings are definatly not "norm" to say the least. But you have always been right in the past, so will try them out.... But wondering why you set antialising in the game, and not in your nvidai control panel (assuming from your settings your nvidia) and that last pic, is that a nvidia application? lol..oh,,,,says nvidia in your signature,,,,never notiece that...

First of all..welcome to doves and hawks..... Stump is full of surprises, and he ususally puts his toys up there. when you are finished playing with the short, get the 2 files in "global layer for mp only" These are stumps terrain for austria, switzerland and italy...... Flying the alps is great....ive spent hours just sightseeing.. If you need assistance figuring out what you have to do with the files...someone from d&h who has used them will be glad to help..

great,,new moving targets....... but,,,where is the carrier,,,and the racing pylons??? i know,,never satisfied..

gotta toss vasco in there too....

Actually, its a good question... Kinda thout i knew,,but it was pretty much just an assumption,,but these spell it out in english http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/e...a701033.mspx#EO http://www.infopackets.com/news/hardware/2..._difference.htm http://www.selfseo.com/story-19701.php

save that screenshot thou,,,definitly belongs in the record book

Not sure if this is going to influence your decision, but Multiplayer does NOT work on windows7..... Something to do with Windows 7 and some xml files.......

lol..WOW...now thats what i call an abnormality,,,think it even tops the "blue install meter" that someone was getting.... im just guessing,,and not all that familiar with nvidia..but with ati,,in the ati control panel you can see what temp your card is reading.. I would be interesed in knowing what your card was up too....after this "hour of milling around".... and,,i would dbl check to make sure all fans are running......as it seems to happen after a period of time, my first guess would be an heat issue,,,,but just a guess.

\ pm me your address,,,ill get them out to you,,,,doesnt take that long to get there...
