no idea why you are getting this,,,only question i have,,is it saying you "WILL" run in safe mode,,or does it mean to say it "CAN" run in safe mode... did the game run normaly after you exited out of the window? going to assume you went into your config file to see if safemode was checked in overides.

yeah,,, this is going on every computer i have. One really nice thing about it is that on my gaming computer, i did want avg on it, but because avg does not have a "disable" function, I have not put it on. with the alacrity it will be a snap to stop alll the process avg has running when i start the game. Without a doubt, it looked a little "scary" at first. Visions of ending up with a computer that would not start..(hate those situations where you really wish you had left things alone) but as long as anyone follows your outline, goes to the BV site and takes the time to read what they have to say, its actually a pretty easy utility to learn. Anyone who is trying to squeeze the most performance out of thier system for this game, or any game for that matter, should take a good look at this. one suggestion to your outline. When exporting the services list, suggest using the "text (comma delimited) (*.csv) format. The *.txt format is almost impossible to read for someone wanting to restore. This becomes even more usefull if the "desription" colum is removed using the "add/remove columns" in the services "view" option. If you have excel installed, this becomes real easy to read, if not, its readable in notepad, but no where near as understandable as it is in excel

What os do you have? I am on xp, and there is no ini file in my obd directory, nor is there one in the cfs3wwi folder in my documents. considering there are alot of zip files in off,,,i suppose it could be getting it from one of those what is the full name of the ini file?

http://www.overflandersfields.com/Tips.htm Even if this is not your problem, these are the settings that you should have in your cfs3config. hope something there helps

will put up a game around 330 edt, and watch tac for players, if i have time will join. (but probably wont till later) should be free to play around 730 for sure ip is 75.67.5.13

ok...couple more questions,,, not up on command line paramaters,,,,if we want stuff to start with an fsautostart profile, can we just point to the exe for that application? (thinking about teamspeak and the overlay) and,,briefly, if you will...what does alacrityPC do, that fsautostart doesnt? One app i have used in past that might be helpfull here is Process finder. I had a nasty adware app that was hiding in one of the svchost apps. With process finder you just put your cursor over any of the svchosts running, and it tells you what the acuall apps that are running inside that service,,,might not have said that correctly, but you get the point

Looking at your system, i cant see why you would ever get that low fps, even in rain. Did you do the tweaks in cfs3config?

game is down cant stay too late,,,,these midnight sessions have to stop......... will watch tac, and get on teamspeak if there are other players

Hi, well..computer still starts,,thats always a good thing.... only question i have, is that after i ran services.msi, and followed the BV suggestions, when i went into the fs autostart, and was in running services, it seems like a few i had stopped in services.msi were still running, are you supposed to restart the computer after you stop the services, and then run fs autostart, or does it not make any difference. and, just ran a quick game. didnt notice a jump in fps (they were not out of line to begin with), but did notice a big reduction in the tears on the edge of the monitor when i turned my head fast in trackir. thanks for the walk thru,,,,great job

lol...well..rather than fight over the honor,,,ill conceed it to you... i only know what i know about,,,and what i dont know about is alot,,, but,,,,,,that 83 c,,,is that from the cat control temp? damn,,i get nervous when mine gets to 52-53,,and your right,,ive never seen my fan at more than 17%

I went with the 4870 only cause i couldnt keep my eyes off the 115gb/s memory transfer rate,,,,and the 3.6ghz memory clock (and the fact ati dropped the price of that card alot, down to 189 at newegg) Now honestly can't say that how important these specs are in relationship to overall card performance, and got tired of researching video cards. the 9800gtx+ runs at 70gb/s memory transfer rate, and a memory clock of 2.2ghz. I have all my ati settings at max, with exceprion of catalyst AI, and sliders at 5 4 4 4 5. e8500 /3.2GHZ, so gotta feeling the cpu is still my bottlneck till i take the plunge and overclock. Still see jagged white edges when i turn quicly with track ir. Gameplay is smooth as silk unless i am multiplayer, then i see some "filling in" on the scenery, But, i always think its a waste of money for something that might not take you into the next generation of games. Doesnt mean you have to go cutting edge and, one thing i didnt know, (and am still not too clear on) Is that games have to be sli or crossfire enabled. I dont have crossfire now, but i put everything together based on the premise i may want/need it. Sli enabled games way outnumber crossfire enabled games, if my brief research is correct. lol..but video cards by far is the biggest pain in the ass item to decide on...wayyyy too many of them out there,,,too many specs to look at. good luck

if you havent already set your cfsconfig to the recommended settings,,,got to this site http://www.com-central.net/index.php?name=...topic&t=118 its a cfs3 tweak site,,,but the settings apply to off2... suggest you do all the overides it recommends in the cfs3config hope it helps

LOL...who could miss that avatar and,,i thout it was unclear......

115.64.123.135 (MADMAX) Will leave game up for as long as computer stays running

whew,,,hardly an expert here,,, Setup for your landing a little farther than you think you need, Im guessing im at least 1 1/2 airfileds away from the close end of the airfield when i set up for approach. Then i throttle back all the way. I shoot for an approach angle of about 20 degrees. If i feel my speed is too great, then i do some lazy s turns as i approch the airfield with my nose up a bit to bleed off speed. When my airspeed is below 50, then i go into my approach. If you do these right, you will not be any closer to the airfield. I keep my nose high, as i approach, and slowly pull back on stick as the plane gets lower. the closer i get to the ground, the more i pull up to bleed the speed off...if around 15 ft off the deck i think im still goint to fast,,then i pull up more, but have to make sure you have set up so you are not going to overun the airfield so i land pretty much a little nose high. You can also cnt shft f6 as you are in your approch to kill the engine....i do that alot too I rarely stall on approach

game is down

thanks, just to make sure i have your answer correct, you have hosted and/or joined a mp game, and got no error messages....

Got full compliment of rockets, as shown but when I look out to my left,,they are gone,,,,actually,,,they show up for a split second as i turn my head,,,but then dissapear Video setting or quirk?

my "Sent items" is empty....did something happen to the database?

My fault,,,i called that the bhah banner at the top,,its really not First click on this link Then, click on this link finally, click on this link

In the download section at the top right under the bhah banner. Not sure, but i think you need approval before you can put up a mission. Pd just put a 6 part mission pac there. But if you put up anything, will be sure to try them out. need lots and lots of enemy planes.....and be sure to make all the planes flyable (ie select the planes with * ), so no matter what side we pick,,we get a cockpit

yep,,,my bad,,,was looking at the clock speed on one....still would go with gigabyte

far from a video card expert here, but i would go for the 1gb card. Everything else looks pretty much the same. And i like gigabyte mother boards...

Thanks birddog,,,knew i had seen a post about it somewhere,,,just couldnt find it. will contact parky

Skimming low,,,,30 meters or less, and i have flak going off all around me. Was it really this low?
