yep....he's in love....

hopefully nothing is wrong with vasco,,,as he was awol this sunday...with no post....

Yes,..madmatts is pretty old,,and you can ignore the promt for the dm update. In addition to the 2 planes madmatss puts in (gotha and zepplin), once you get teamspeak installed, click on the "overflanders fields" room just once, and on the right you will see links for 3 aircraft...struttera1, strutterb1, and n17bis. you will also need these, as they clear up problems that the stock planes had in multiplayer. if you need any help getting started,,put up a post in the MP section of the forum,,,and either i or someone else will be glad to get you squared away.

if no one else has offered...pm me your address,,and ill get on over to you

Cant say i agree. Did some missions with ppl on both sides not too long ago for the purpose of seeing how the planes fly in this manner, and did not get the stuff you get in mp dogfights. Im not sayin the game played perfect ever time, but it was enjoyable.

big thumbs up to all three

I belive running in xp sp2 mode is just as important, if not more, than the administrator settings.... and you have to do it for both offmanager.exe and cfs3.exe. If you have not done this, i would highly suggest you give it a go. there is one more quirk about w7 and bhah, but im pretty sure its only has multiplayer implications. It involves renaming a dll file that for whatever reason, screws things up http://www.overflandersfields.com/FAQ.htm#A5M question q5m,,,almost at the bottom.

well..he had 2 problems there... the "not connectect" is caused when, in tso options, display tab, you have the "show what channel i am in" checked off. In addition to showing the room your in,,it also throws that "not connected" in there too... the other problem he had was that tso didnt show anyones names when they talked...he's 64 bit vista, so going to assume running tso in xp compatiblity mode fixed it.

Now..dont do that.....what makes this forum work is eveyones input... but it is a BHAH forum,,,and sometimes the "other" game topics get out of hand.

appcrash is a vista utility..so going to assume your are running vista. are you running with both offmanager.exe and cfs3.exe set to run as administrator, and run in xp compitibility mode? I know all the mp pilots have to run this way, not positive its required for campaign. http://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/appcrash-messages-overview-and-example-scenarios

If any of the upcoming sessions involve ground targets and bombers, any chance of getting recon photos with headings prior to mission?

did you run it in xp compatibility mode?

Our illustrious flight commanger has asked us to bomb in the Be2c from an altitude of 3000ft to minimize casualties from ground fire. As there is no bombsite, and visiblity on that plane is terrible, did some practicing in it to see if some method of semi high bombing could be made accurate. At first was hoping I could find a ground object directly to the right or left of the target, and then find a spot on the wing, or body of the plane, and when they lined up, drop, but the wings just cover up too much area. So i fooled around with dive angles, altitudes, and spots on the aircraft that could be lined up with either the target, or predetirmend ground objects that are to the right or left of the target. This method seems to work pretty good, considering the altitude. as i approach the target, i find something to the right of the target that i know will be visible as i dive on the target, and just off the right side of the planes nose area (the target itself will be blocked by the nose) In order to tell when the target is almost right underneath me, i have to do high bank s turns. The be2c handles pretty nice, and is actually pretty easy to do this and still mainatin altitude. When i think im almost on top of the target, i level off, and fly for just a few seconds, as it seems im usually not as far along as i thout i was when in the banked turns. I start to put the plane in a steep dive, and as the top of the pilots head infront of me intersects the target, I slowly start to pull out of the dive. If when starting the dive, i notice the target is not almost right under me, it means i didnt fly far enough, and my bombs are going to drop short. I also tried dropping my bombs while in the steep dive, but it seems you cant do this. as soon as the predetermned point to the right of the target intersects with the first wire/strut, i release. I use rivers to pratice. one they are narrow, and if you can put a bomb in a river from 4000 ft your doing pretty good, and two,,,you can approcah them so the river runs right to left, and you have a perfect reference point to line up the wire/strut thing. And important,,i fly zoomed out,,,(no pun intended)....im sure if you are zoomed in this will change things

I belive numerous attempts have been made in the past by pilots wishing to donate to the cause (remeber the mug and tee shirt episode?)....and all have been turned down by the devs. dont think im too far off the mark when i say there are alot of pilots who really want to contribute to what you are doing, both to show their appreciation, and to help. This is something we want to do...all you have to do is tell us how....

have always suggested newegg.com for parts. prices seem to be lowest, and returns within the warranty period are always no questions asked. price vrs performance, i think ati wins hands down...but just my opionion if you do go ati, and get a crossfire board, be sure to get a x48 southbridge. Its the only chipsett that runs both cards at 16x. Some of the other chipsets run the first card at 8x and the second card at 4x. Big waste of 2 video cards as far as im concerned. GET A FRIGGIN FLOPPY FOR THE COMPUTER!! cant belive ppl spend a grand for a system, and wont spend 30 bucks for a floppy drive. then when they have to load the sata/raid drivers they have to jump thru hoops,,and pray the usb is enabled in dos.

I just looked at mine, and it shows the same thing... was only one on teamspeak at the time, but dont thing that should make a difference.... btw,,,cool arrow...

lol...wow..i must have done a really bad job of explaining this... the last thing i was recommeneding was just throwing someone else settings that happen to work for them into another system... and, if you game is running fine to beging with, unless your onna the ones that have to keep trying to squeeze more,,(like me)..if it aint broke,,dont fix it... all im suggesting here is to start from scratch (ie..default cfsconfig), and adjust your settings as slowly as your patience allows..but playing the game after each adjustment, and writing down the effect of the adjustments. I have never had anything close to 60fps on the airfield,, and was amazed that it was all the "recommeneded" tweaks (vertex buffers...write only buffers etc etc), that where dragging my fps down with no improvement in game play. But thats just my system. what works for me might not work for you, and what works for you might not work for me. But the only way to tell what is best for any individual system is one setting at a time,,play the game, then move on to the next setting. You may find one of the recommended settings works best for you after all, but in my case, NONE of the recommened tweaks came even close.

i belive the tr_smoke entries in your effects.xml are the black smoke trails, and the air_fire_gastank entries are you flaming engines. You cant edit the dds effects files they call, and to be honest,,i think you would go nuts trying to figure out, first,,,which entry is the one you want to edit,,and second, what changes to make to get the desired results. if it bothers you that much,,,stop shooting down planes.....

sorry von paulus, i didnt notice that the link for the mission i used didnt take. Its just a take off from one of the bases in dover england. lotta trees there, and a nice large town if you want to see the effects of alot of houses low. something near albert would do just as well

maybe he "tossed" the bomb?
