    keeping in mind this may just be just for my system (ati 4870), i recently redid my settings from scratch, setting all to default, (cfs3config and ccc center) and making ONE adjustment at a time, playing the game, and seeing the effect.

     

    Once i got my sliders set, (again, one notch at a time,,one slider at a time), (5 3 3 5 5 ), and resolution, the ONLY setting that helped fps, and overall game play in cfs3config was unchecking dual pass render.

     

    checking index buffers, write only buffers etc etc,,,and making changes to texture info resulted in a drop in fps with no apparent improvement in what i saw on the screen.

     

    With ANY of the recommended settings,,i was struggling at 14-19 on the ground, and 30 tops in the air. Now im at 45-53 on the ground, and at 60 almost all the time in the air.

     

    all the kinda "optionsl" (shoreline render, water effects etc etc) are all enabled.

     

    point is,,,if you go in and make a slew of settings, you have no idea whats pulling you up,,and whats pulling you down. And while i know all the "recommended" settings have been around for a long time, they are the settings that have been killing my game.

    hmm,,thout i put in a reply,,but guess it didnt take..

     

    anyways,,yes,,great story..

     

    would love to fly that mission you just did. If you have not flown another campaign mission, it will be in your mission/historical folder as off_camp_mission.xml.

     

    if you make a copy and post it, will put it for the MP group to fly.

     

    that file gets overwritten everytime you do another campaign session.

    Suppose i could have just tried a shortcut to trackir in my start, but decided to go this route. Its best explained in this site.

     

    http://forums.techguy.org/windows-xp/492106-open-2-progs-w-one.html

     

    I made this text file, and saved it as trackir5.bat, and put it in the start menu. This is pretty much a gaming system, so i want trackir running when i start the computer.

     

    start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\NaturalPoint\TrackIR5\TrackIR5.exe"

     

     

    so far its started trackir5 everytime the computer starts.

     

    If you didnt want it to start with the computer, but where tired of the dbl starting, you could make a text file like this,

     

    start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\NaturalPoint\TrackIR5\TrackIR5.exe"

    start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\NaturalPoint\TrackIR5\TrackIR5.exe"

     

    and save it as a .bat file somewhere, then make a shortcut to the desktop.

     

    you will get a window saying trackir is already running obviously, but when i tried it on my computer, the camera initialsized every time.

     

    The syntax itself is pretty handy for starting multiple apps with one shortcut. In some cases, the bat file must reside in the apps folder or it doesnt work...

     

    ie. if you want offmanager and trackir to start at the same time, you have to put the bat file for the startup in cfsww1 directory, or you get a slew of font errors...

    lol...well..i just spent 2 hours screwing with it to...so im gonna put it up

     

    http://bhah.homeip.n.../Fokker_III.dds

     

    this is the exact same file, but renamed correctly for the your eiii sqd texturs folder

     

    http://bhah.homeip.n...rEIII_Sqd_t.dds

     

    this should work for n11 skin. Its named for the sqd plane

    sorry if i confused ppl with the naming issue. Im used to putting these skins into the aircraft directories so they will be available for Multiplayer, where as the majority of you probably stick them into your campaign skins folders.

    Sittingduck found this deal online: http://www.gearxs.co...oducts_id=12760

     

    Walmart has a few decent ones in the $15 price range. newegg.com has an enormous selection and some of the inexpensive ones are quite good. I've had my Turtle Beach $20 'phones for so long I'm about ready to splurge on a quality set soon.

     

     

    Heads up on these headphones. Prices is great ( i bought 3 pairs)...sound quality is EXCELLENT, but they are behind the head only (the head band is NOT adjustable), and the ear "cups" are large, and pretty much cover the entire ear. Only problem is altho the are not at all heavy, the ear cups do tend to start to "hang" on the top of your ears, and after a while, this got annoying for me. But, still a great starter pair of combo headphones/mic

    one things i got out my session with the tech is this neat command. it will show you all the nodes a ping from you to another computer passes thru, and the latency between nodes.

     

    open up a dos box, (command promt), and type tracert xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where the xx is someones ip....
