Been playing around with the -m3dview, and it allows you to see the wireframe of the planes... I can only fathom how long it must take to build one of these things......i"ve been just starting my game,,,having my fun, and althogh i knew this game took work to develope,,dont think i ever realised just how much work.. heres a n17 cockpit... and here is the plane,,,(lost alot of detail when i zoomed out)

if you can..post YOUR settings from your cfs3config......(screenshots are always nice) and, what do you get for average fps (the z key tells you in the game)

This may have been common knowledge all along,,but damn ive been going nuts trying to make a facility a goal in a mission... Cant say ive tested it thourouly, but it worked in the mission i just made... Find where you want to put your facility, and right click, you should get the "Add Global Facility as goal"..left click once...and you get a smal green circle.. On the left, you have Mission Goal, and for the facility it just lists "nearby facility", and there is a goal link, click on the goal link , and select must be destroyed, and amount of damage you want. I select the hand icon, to move the green circle into the center of the map, then use the "+" on the keyboard to zoom in as much as possible, this allows me to keep the hand icon so i can keep the green circle centered. Select the New Facility icon at the top of MB, (the bullseye icon), and left click next to the green circle....this should add your facility icon onto the map....and move it so its right on top of the green circle. Use the drop down on the left to choose what facility you want in your mission. I did not select a goal for the facility. I am assuming the Green circle just tells MB that the closest facility to it is the goal, and uses the goal specs that you set for the green circle,,,so none are needed for the facility itself (if that makes sense) The facility i put up close to the green circle showed up as a goal on the tac (purple),,,,the ai that i had instructed to attack with bombs in MB attacked the facility, and the damage on the facility went down as they attacked...and the best part (something i have not been able to accomplish with a facility as a goal) is that when the damage threshold is reached,,you get goal resolved. If anyone plays around with this,,,let me know what they figure out. Dont have time right now, but would be interested in seeing what happens if you put 2 facilities near the green circle, and if it just sets the goal to the closest one.

hi,, did you typed something wrong? ,cause i aint never run across a p3 @ 3.6 But ive run bhah on several computers...slowest probably a 2.8 celeron...2 gigs of pc3200,, and a pci card, and i have never seen stutters... I would try rabus settings,,,they always seems to work best on older computers...... http://forum.combata...0.html/page__hl__, and there are some different settings that just had a thread,,,,if i find them, i will post them here

true,,,but outta the last 8 times ive been shot down in campagin,,,only one got me from behind... ie,,,whats behind you isnt always your greatest threat..

Stumbled to this post from a google search.... I've been trying to figure out why some ppl (even those with top of the line Nvidia cards) dont see the reflection in things like the N17 mirror, and some of the planes guages... http://forum.combatace.com/neiuport-mirror-t45480.html/page__view____hl____fromsearch__1 http://forum.combata...__fromsearch__1 Pol came back with the fact that ati wont show s_specular. Dont really know that much about what i am researching, but everything i have seen indicates what you see in the mirror something more along the lines of a cube map,,or a gloss map (or a reflection map...). Anything you can think of that might help would be appreciated...

http://forum.combatace.com/suggested-graphics-settings-t44430.html/page__hl__ I belive these are rabus suggested settings

ut oh,,that doesnt sound good.............. so,,,you cant just take the cockpit.mds file,,,,open it in something,,,,and see the ins and outs of whats making up the cockpit?

anybody know what application i need to look at m3d files? I did find that - m3dview command that you can add to the shorcut,,which gives you some pretty cool stuff,,but its not what im looking for.

should have a session up around 730ish edt. will watch teamspeak. If i dont reply right away,,give me a few minutes

try 1280 by 960... when you do what unclelal said,,,with the properites thing,,you should get a pic of a monitor,,and it will show the size of the screen as you adjust the slider for the settings....you can see the screen get a little bigger as you go from 1280 by 1024 to 1280 by 960. And if that still doesnt work,,,go to a another resolution that gives you a screen size in the properties windows that will fill your monitor.... And remeber,,its not what you have your desktop resolution set to that matters,,its what you have your resolution set to in cfs3config. And damn man,,stop flying into stuff!! Look at what your doing to that beautiful plane!

i've always wondered why they put up rar files to beging with.....when you decompress, the exe file is the same or smaller than the rar file...

not sure if understand your question, but belive off1 and off2 missions are compatible with off2...the missions in the download section at SimOuthouse that are for phase 3 are prefixed ph-3, and will not play on off2 here is a link for the off2 mission downloads at SimOuthouse http://www.sim-outhouse.com/?lloc=downloads&loc=downloads&FileType=cfs3-missions&page=downloads&Category=OFF none of the missions that you will find on this site are for off2

lol...hey,,,it was hard enough just getting it into a field!...most of the time it was in the middle of the woods...

havnt done a ton of testing, but it seems that if you use the scripted_target_facility as a spawn facility, you can spawn facilites that can be goals....

when i was in england, and finally figured out how boring london was, went to go see Stonehenge. It's kinda amazing how BIG it always looks in pictures of it, but when you are actually there its really quite small (compared to the pics) But, didnt realise that it was in the game too....

Anyone who builds missions, and has had trouble with facilities as goals, would appreciate them trying this out,,and letting me know how it works... As I still cant just add a facility to the mission, and set it to must be destroyed and get the mission to run,,i tried to spawn facilites,,and set the goal in the spawn settings,,,which caused a variety of problems.... have been using Mission_target_facility_7k as spawn facility.....but in looking thru the facilities folder,,found some other facilities in there that are spawn facilities. Made up a quick mission using the scripted_tarket_facility as the spawn facility. I set the goal for the facility (a railyard in this case ) by editing the spawn table and did NOT check the "spawns missions goal objects" The spawn worked fine,,,it is a goal object (ie,,purple on tack etc etc) and when attacked damage inflicted does show up on the 100% thing,,,Only thing i didnt do was fly around long enought to inflict enough damage to see if "mission goal accomplished" came up. and,,you dont have the stupid "phantom" "goal(100%)" floating around like you do when you select the "spawns mission goal objects" fyi,,,the mission target facilty 7k has always worked fine for me with formation spawns,,,just gave me some quirky problems with facilities spawns.

I had to stick an 8800gts in when my ati card went,,the only settings that worked for me where rabus. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php/topic/44430-suggested-graphics-settings/

lol..thanks, but i was referering to the texture info settings in rabus..,,not overrides... onna these days,,gotta get someone to put in laymans terms...what we are changeing when we chose "default' instead of "rendertarget" etc etc..... but just fyi...i have the 4870 and use rabu's settings and never get any microstuttering,,,,i do get some "shimmering" in the scenery as i fly

not going to try and tell you how to change axis assignments,,cause im not sure i know how myself,,but will tell you that you cannot save a profile to any other name other then "mine"....so if you really really want to have several seperate profiles for off..you have to save your settings to "mine"...locate your mine.xca file,,,copy it somewhere else, like a folder called mine1, mine2 etc... then to load a specific profile,,you copy the file from the folder overwriting the mine.xca... 2 be honest,,,sounds like way too much of a pain in the ass to me,,,,,,i would try to get used to one set of assignments....or,,,find some 3rd party software that lets you assign joystick keys to game controls..and save profiles...
