    I was eye-balling that new LED stuff... looks great! But VERY costly.

     

    I still have my 36" Sony Wega that I need a crane to move around the house.

     

    I'd love to get one of those new Bose home theater systems with a new 62" LED connected to Blue Ray and Hi-Def TV... good God.. .the Jets can keep their $20K PL fees for each seat... :)

     

    OvS

     

    well..keep in mind i dont generally use the word "only" and "$1000.00" in the same sentence too often,,,,

     

    but,,the projectors i was looking at are around 999.00 now..

     

    compare that to lets say 600 bucks for a medium size lcd tv,,,or what you have to spend to get 3 monitors for a 3head setup, and imho it gets pretty close to being cost efficicnt.

     

    I just dont know how good the game would look....

    That also sounds good to me.

     

    I know this may be a different subject, but, if at all possible, when in advanced search, it would be nice if the catagory selections actually worked...

     

    I can never get the catagory option to work. If i search for Fokker dr1 in over flanders fields skins downloads, i get results from all forums,,and all posts...

    I have ati, so not sure if this is going to apply to you. Hopefully someone is sending me a Brand new nvidia (it wont fit in his case lol), so i can test this out on another card.

     

    the process involves alot of starting and stopping the game, alot so recommend you navigate to your cfsww1 directory and find your cfs3.exe, and make a shortcut to it on the desktop, then you wont have to start from the off manager every time.

     

    this is what i did on my computer.

     

    reset your cfs3config to default, then make only one change, set your resolution to whatever it is you want.

     

    if possible,,reset your nvidaia control panel to default (assuming you know what settings you prefer in the nvidia control panel)

     

    run the game, with lables off..tack off,,hud off, and look at your frame rates, write them down.

     

    got back to cfs3config, and make one change,,uncheck dual pass render,,the play the game again, and look at the framrate to check if it got better or worse.

     

    then keep up this process,,starting with your sliders first, I did mine one slider,,,on click at a time, but if your not patient, you could accelerate the process...

     

    do your plane slider, then your effects slider, then your clouds slider, just make sure you play the game after each setting change, and write down the results.

     

    when you do your scnery and terraind sliders, i would use the one click at a time. I found these are the ones that have the biggiest impact on fps. If you see a change in settings that makes your fps drop too much, go back and change it back.

     

    after sliders are done, make your overide settings on setting at a time, and again play the game, and write down the effect of fps

     

    then your texture info...

     

    when i did this on my computer, i found the ONLY recommended setting that improved my fps was the unchecking dual pass render box. All the other recommended tweaks dropped my fps, and gave me no noticable improvement in the game.

     

    after i was finished with cfs3config, i went back to my video card control panel, and set all my settings to high, and my fps still stayed at where it was.

     

    should you do this, would be interested in what results you got,,

     

    if the process only happens to apply to me, will stop bothering ppl with this ....lol

    ahh..ok...sorta missread your question...

     

    if you get to the hanger drop down, and select controls, you can map any of the existing cfs3 commands in the game, to any keyboard, or joystick button that you want.

     

    just dbl click the stock command, and it will ask you what key you want to use for that function. It keeps the stock command, and adds the key you tell it to use, so you will end up with 2 entries for that command. Note that after you hit the key, or joystick button you want, you have to use "tab" on the keyboard to get to the "ok" button if it tells you that key is alread mapped, and you have to juse "enter" on the keyboard to get it to accept the mapping, you cant click on "ok" with the mouse.

     

    and,,you have to save the profile as "mine". you cannot have multiple profiles in off,,,unless you want to rename the mine.xca (the default profile off uses), and make another profile

     

    (if that made sense)....

    If your talking about the runtime error when you start from the off manager,,and you have to exit, and then get to restart again without a problem, seems like a lot of us are getting it. Other than the hassele of having to start twice, doesnt seem to interfere with game play at all.

     

    If this is the same error you are having, i wouldnt consider reloading, doubt that its going to go away.

    There are seveal mp pilots who would also like to see campaign missions with ppl on both sides, so im sure its going to come around eventually.

     

    Big reason why it has NOT come around sooner is that the existing mp pilots understand the foremost reason a new pilot may be hesitant to join into MP is the fear of gettting hammered (human nature......) So we try to keep the sessions in a format where pilots of all skill levels can have as much fun as possible, and human vrs ai is a better theater for that.

     

    And keep in mind, hosting games is not rocket science, its actually pretty easy. If this is the venure you would like to see, you could always put up a session for others to join.

     

    We would like to see more ppl hosting just as much as we would like to see more pilots playing.
