i have ati, and right now am using cc center for all my contols. is there any advantaget at all,,to using cfs3config to set aa? , or is all just basically the same settings, just done in different place

am sure someone will disagree with me,,, but performance improvements of a 10k rmp over a 7500 drive are so minimal its not worth the money. not an expert on raid 0, but think you would better going that route with 2 nice wd caviar drives....and probably get better performance over 1 10k drive.. and,,,memory is so cheap,,,,dont stop at 6 gig.....for dollars spent, and improvment gained,,,right now its the best place to make performance mprovements (im assuming you have a raid compatable mb to put that nice i7)

game is up. will leave up all nite. hopefully computer will not crash or hang. join in and play as you wish 75.67.5.1

if i may expand on your question, If I have amble ram (8 gig in this case), would it be advantagous to MINIMIZE my swap file? I have 350gb raid 0, and only thing i have on here is off3, so with that much free space, originally had made my swap file bigger. Dont know that much about virtual memory, not sure if the os uses it even if ram is available.

As soon as i can afford to pay another pilot to fly really slow and then turn RIGHT into me.....

dogfighting in the alps

gary,,, lol,,,i thout i had an answer for you,,,but went to play the game,,,and you are right,,,the brackets are gone......

beerthirty.. open up windows explorer...(not internet explorer ) start>programfiles>accesories>windows explorer got to tools > folder options click on the view tab at minimum,,,,deselct "hide extensions for known file types" ( otherwise files like cfs3.exe show up as cfs3) also suggets show hidden files and folders. otherwise eventually you will be searching for a file that is right there,,but you cant see it. up to you if you want to show protected system files, but i always do,,,

well,,,i may be crazy,,,but im not stupid,,,vista was out of the question... and,,just to be sureyou know.,,,teamspeak does not give you the overlay,,,,its the teamspeak overlay program that does.....

werewolf,,, actually there are a few online missions. I dont think any of them are as submersive as the campaign missions, but then, its hard to get together a group that has the time to do 50 min. waypoints. but keep your eye out on the online forum in the mulitplayer section. you didnt say where you are from (considering time difference), but if you give us a date and time that you might want to try some missions, and/or some fun mp dogfight, good chance someone will accomodate you,,,(as long as its not 3 in the morning) lot of the new missions stump has built use the italian maps (alps are great....)...so join dah.

barring any unforseen problems, I will put up a game friday the 13th around 8pm edt. game is down

game is down, but it was a really great team dogfight 3 on 3 messaround,,,pm me if you need teamspeak settings

in case you didnt catch my typo i ran the overlay WITHOUT teamspeak running,,,and the overlay still works not that teamspeak isnt a good thing to have,,,, heaven forbid you should ever consider multiplayer,,,its great to be able to talk with whoever your flying with. another good way of getting fps is fraps,,(video capture software,,,,if your not recording video,,,it does not seem to be much of a resource hog,,,and the fps counter in that is much bigger than the teamspeak overlay one. and,,,i know ill get alot of static for even mentioning xp64, but thats the route i took. memory is way to cheap (respectivly) to be stuck at 3 gigs.

if you use the link,,you can get back to the off3 forum http://sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/forumdisplay.php?f=62

ok,,,didnt go so far as to take teapspeak off my compter to test,,,but ran the overlay with teamspeak running,,,and it worked. so, have a feeling it may just very well work without teamspeak installed,,,worth a shot anyways and,,,as far as your original post,,,that board supports 8gigs i belive,,,,with ram being so cheap,,,id take a quick hop over to the newegg site,,and see how much more memory is going to run you..

if you have teamspeak,,,the the teamspeak overlay,,,it allows you to display fps in VERY BIG numbers http://www.teamspeakoverlay.com/ not compatable with vista... and you know,,the overlay just may run even if teamspeak is not running........

stump put up an shortcut for the mission builder in the mp section of the forum,,,,cant say for sure if its gonna help you out. by programs,,,i assume you mean start > programs > obd.... this exe is a strange animal.....i stumled across the mb foder in my obd and clicked on the mb.exe and i got all sorts of error messages,,,when i found the shortcut off of programfiles > obd> missionbuilder, i looked at the properties,,,and there where no paramaters attached,,,,so dont know why you cant just click on the exe......im sure stump could tell us..

hey,,its a video card,,,no way you can beat that topic to death... glad you asked first,,,cause i was going to get to screen resolution eventually... im at 1600 by 1200,,,,and not sure when i should start considering going up or down,,,,so ill let you do the legwork,,,and post what u find here.. and also,,,,did read interlocers post with config settings,,but skimmed over the settings only cause they for the most part are pretty standard,,,,,but was rereading all the posts the other day,,,and noticed a couple settings he has are different from what ive seen in the majority of the posts i have vertex buffer pool..default index buffer pool managed full screen swap effect discard... http://www.combatfs.com/index.php?&loc...page=cfs3_tweak this is where i got that from know all these settings are not etched in stone,,,just thout i should throw it out and,,,although i am letting cc control my aa and af,,,,,where do you set af in off3?

Ok,,,i've been listening to you all go on about how many ai you shot down, sticking out your chests,,,trying to grow moustaches... But lets face it,,your still playing against a computer. Now there is an opportunity to find out for sure if you have the right stuff.... Stumpjumper has a poll in the MP section for a dogfight contest.... Come on,,,break away from that cold dark corner you've been playing in,,and find out what its like playing with REAL people. Aside from being alot of fun,,,this is an opportunity for someone to get bragging rights to "BHAH Top Gun" So,,,unless your afraid of finding out how bad you really are,,,or getting ripped to shreds by some 10 year old kid...navigate over to the MP section of the forum, hope to see you in the air...

damn,,sorry about that,,,
