assuming all my problems have been worked out,,and stump does not have anything planned, will host a mp game tuesday 7ish edt will be on teamspeak

have been wondering forra while why fps seems to be an issue in alot of posts. I did have the tweaks guide (but thanks), along with a couple others from the cfs3 game, and if you notice, there is a tweak for frame rate caps in both game play and mp games. In both instances, they recommend somewhere around 30 fps. And in off2 (assume it stuck with off3), it has always been recommend to run at the hightest resolution possible, just to keep the fps down, which in turn would improve game play. i realise that parts now are far better than what was available when some of these tweaks came out.... just seems that maybe maximizing fps should not be a major concern in this game,,,,,and/or if i should be trying to keep my fps down to the 30-40 level that all the tweaks recommend. lol..forgot to ask,,,there is a filter on the aa setting,,,box,,tent,,, any idea what that does,,,and what i should set it to?

f3,,,unless i missunderstood your question

actually,,,the soh off3 site is not down,,,you just need a link to the off3 forum... http://sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/forumdisplay.php?f=62 get what you need there,,,,cause god only knows how much longer they are going to keep it up

if anyone should have the time to try mp today either this afternoon, or tonight please reply to this post.

hey,,,,would be unproductive to just go in and make a slew of changes all at once,,,,,,, so,,,your best guess,,,,in which order should i apply the settings,,,,trying each one out in the game before going on to the next i realise that some of them work better combined with other settings..

just curious,,,after i installed the hotfix and started game, i got a security alert for blocking/unblocking "directx8 gameplay", or something close to that did anyone else get that too? xp64 here,,,not sure if that made a difference

thats where i am,,,(setting wise) and i get bullet holes,,, had to get a ton of hits before they showed up thou

thanks alot,,,will try them out... and uncleal,,,could be wrong,,,but swear ive seen that pic somewhere else,,,,just cant place it.........................

hi,,and thanks for the reply led_zepplin got me fixed.. just as you can make a mission a mp only, or a mission only mission, you can also make a flyable plane a mission only plane. and you are right about the air file but, thats all i had to do to get it to work in both a mission, set the plane typ to 0 (from 2) and have the plane available in a dogfight....didnt have to rename anything. but i do appreciate the replies duck

thanks for the repies im pretty sure thats where i have ended up to,,,with the exception of triple buffering, lol..and uncleal,,,yeah,,,i knew i was kinda stretching it,,,but had to at least try......(was getting alot of micro stutters)

yeah,,,and its only been up forra about 3 weeks now.... at least now we know whos been crashing into who.....

hi,,, built a quick mission with just this one plane.. Its flyable, and has a cockpit, which i thout meant it is not an ai plane.....(but could be wrong)

if you do mp, and have addons, this helps alot in getting them out of your folder in order to avoid mismatched aircraft the folder name for planes in your aircraft directory has no bearing on the game finding the plane files within the folder.. so if you add an x to the folder name for all your addons (ie se5_viper_sq becomes xse5_viper_sq), then all your addons will show up at the bottom of the aircraft folder,,, if your lazy,,,and want them to show up at the top,,,,i suppose you could prefix them with aaa......... and,,,if you make a folder called addons,,,put it in your obd folder,,,,,and keep all your addons there,,,,this is a quick bat file that will move them all to the aircraft directory quicly.... xcopy "c:\ObdSoftware\Addons\*.*" "c:\Obdsoftware\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields\Aircraft\*.*" /e copy,,paste into notepad,, save to desktop as xxxxx.bat,,,where xxx is anything your heart desires when i want to get rid of addons,,i just find the xfiles,,and delete them,,,and then clicking on the bat file moves them all right back in.. should,,,anyone know how to move and or delete folders using wildcards...(ie,,,move or delete all folders beginning with x) ....i would appreciate the syntax... would like to have a bat file for removing the addons too,,,but could not figure out how to do it..

ok,,thanks cw.. now maybe you can answer another question we have a plane that is correct in all aspects,,,as it is available in mission builder( from the drop down box of available planes),,,and flies fine in a built mission. trouble is that is not available in qc, or mp from the list of available aircraft... not up on skinning planes,,,,but im assuming that somewhere there is an option to make the plane available to just missions or just mp or both.... any ideas?

thats great news winder... at the risk of asking a question that shouldnt be asked,,, you had been moving quickly to get the forum on your own server, i take it that has been scrapped, and we can consider this our new permanant site?

yeah,,,and they put "reset cfs3" right where "config cfs3" used to be.....good thing i had my coffe first....

hi.... clutching at straws here,,, was doing online mp with someone, and they didnt have the patch,,so they went and got it,,,and at some point during game play, they had to restart the computer for a reason i forget,,,and they indicated to me when the computer restarted,,,they got a screen that siad maps where being rebuilt,,,,we presummed it was from the patch.... so,,,have you tried restarting computer? im just guessing here.....i never saw the rebuild screen on my computer,,,

am on new computer, so not sure if it just better hardware sound, but the sound effects seem to be vastly improved......i can hear wind on the wings when i stall,,and have never heard enemy engines noise so well......

we have a plane that is correct in all aspects,,,as it is available in mission builder( from the drop down box of available planes),,,and flies fine in a built mission. trouble is that is not available in qc, or mp from the list of available aircraft... not up on skinning planes,,,,but im assuming that somewhere there is an option to make the plane available to just missions or just mp or both.... anyone got any ideas?

sorry,,,,wasnt watching the posts close enough..... you want only the teamspeak 2 client....(5.4mb) and,,here is the addryess,,in case you didnt get it...217.155.102.217:8767 note colon password is camel.....pic your own name its 945 here,,and i am on teamspeak,,,will probably be on for another hour...

and let me know how that works out for you,,,all the pros and cons..

Hi, hope you join. stump has been making alot of great addons, and the maps of itlay are terrific. Can't speak for everyone else, but would be more than glad to try and arrange some date/times to get together and get a feel for how game play may go. uk_widowmaker is getting an online squad together, and was hoping we could hook up with them too,,,,working around the time difference (the brits against the germans,,,,,and as usual,,,the americans come in late..)

new system.....e8500 @ 3.16, 8gig ram,,,,ati4870 just messing around have settings at 1600 by 1200 and sliders at 5-5-5-5-4 (thats up from 5-2-2-1-1 on the old one) but would like to know what ppl think i should do in the catalyst control center,,,and bout all i know to ask right now..is that if i let the application set the antialisiang,,,what should i set it to in the config file,,,,,think its on 2 now..(or should i set it in the control center...) is there a place for fsaa settings? want the maximum amount of quality, before the tradeoff in performance degrades the game play thanks......
