...as many other things! I liked the bit where he wrote, that humans think they are more intelligent than dolphins, because the humans are always busy working on lots of things, while the dolphins just swim around and amuse themselves. And then he adds: The dolphins saw it the other way round - for the same reasons. Great!

You can set the AA in the "Workshop's" in "Graphics Config": "Change display options". But I don't think this is even used by modern graphic cards. Both my new and my previous card did not care about hose settings; I always recommend to make these settings in the graphic cards setup menue/manager. One last thing we could look at is your screen resolution and the resulting "Field of View". Perhaps it is set up wrong, and causes some tearing by that. If you like, send me the resolution of your monitor, and I can send you how to set FoV up.

Tony, I bet you are a bit worried about such surgery at the heart, but a friend of mine had it too, and he was fit again very soon, and felt much better than before. Nowadays it is a routine operation. Get back ASAP - I bet the devs will stretch the 2 weeks for you and Tranquillo. .

I used to have a great visual OFF with my old ATI HD4870 (1 GB), which should be much like Mike's. I did not use the ingame AA settings, but 8x AA and 4x Anisotropic Filtering - and it worked great. Make sure that "Wait for vertical refresh" is "Always on" or at least "On". That should fight the tearing.

Welcome back, Britisheh! That was a long leave - fly some rounds 'round the field to familiarise yourself again with your crate.

You did indeed! So WOFF can only topple OFF - the triumph remains within the family again! The long way you guys have come in the seven years - it is simply amazing!

No reason to be ashamed about that, Muesli - I only concealed that.

As far as I understand, - the "Terrain Detail" slider controls the resolution of the terrain "tiles" (bitmaps) - "Scenery Detail" controls, how many scenery objects (trees, houses, hedges etc.) appear, and in which quality The devs may put that right, if I was wrong here.

PS: the values in "Texture Info" should not be touched. But please see my "Graphics Setup Help" in the Stickies. See here: http://combatace.com/topic/60374-graphics-setup-an-easy-pictorial-guide/page__view__findpost__p__452080

Well, CPU and Memory should do fine IMHO. I don't know the card, but it should also do the job well. Your "GraphicsConfig" settings are partly too high though - please try these just for a test, and report: Overall slider: 5 Aircraft: 5 Terrain Detail: 3 Scenery Detail: 2 Effects Quality: 4 Clouds: 5 If this works well, except in or near Clouds, you should lower them. For my ATI card, lowering Clouds slider never helped anything much; 5 was always best. Terrain on 3 still looks great; and Scenery detail seems to "eat" quite some performance, when higher than 3. You should try these settings and come back here with the results. FOR SETTING UP THE VIDEO CARD I don't know the NVidia control panels/managers, so someone else should help you here. But if you know how to open it (in my case a right-click on the desktop, then I can select it), you should look for "3D Settings" or "Settings for 3D Applications". There select Anti-Aliasing (AA) no higher but 8. You could also try 4. (The AA smoothens the jagged edges of 3D models) If there is Anisotropic Filtering, put it no higher but 4. If there is "Mipmap Detail", put it on the medium setting. If there's "Wait for vertical refresh", put it to "Always on" (important against jaggies AFAIK) If there is "Anti-Aliasing Mode", put it to "Adaptive AA" I hope, a NVIDIA crack will show up here to help you better.

Damn, this made a thick knot in my throat. Well done - how the Marine Corps behaved, and what this single Marine did - hats off to this man!

Light Armoured Vehicles

Wow, that sounds like paradise, elephant! If you need help restoring another chapel - I can draw and paint!

...and it still is; and it hopefully will be for much longer. The devs felt like they had to make that business-orientated decision, to keep contact and support etc. But you have missed all the bad luck, and you can still be here too, like most of us are.

I heard that OPEL will move the production of one of their models to northwest England - I think it was Elsmere Port. 4000 jobs will move from Germany to England. That's what the Lords of Industries - or maybe the financial markets - always do: go where people work for less. That's okay, as sooner or later, we should be balanced; but it may take a while, until our car companies, shipyards, electronics producers etc. etc. will find the same level of income everywhere. Only then we can say, we got there.

Mike Dora, what are your system specs? Try "Ground object density" on "Medium" or "Low" in "Workshops"; and in "GraphicsConfig" keep "Terrain Detail" on 3 or 2, and "Scenery Detail" on 2 or 1. Important are also some settings in the graphic card manager; perhaps we can help you, when we know what card you use.

After a little research in WIKI, I have found that already in the Kaiserreich even famous men from the so called intelligentsia had anti-semitic prejudices. (Unfortunately these WIKI sites are not available in English - I tried a translation of excerpts). http://de.wikipedia....emitismusstreit In 1880/81 the so called "Antisemiten-Petition" requested from the Reichskanzler Otto von Bismark, the withdrawal of essential Equality Laws for Jews. On 18 February 1981 the Synagoge of Neustettin was set on fire, and anti-Jewish turmoil occured. Other representatives of the leading intellectual life in Germany released a pro-Jewish declaration, the "Notablen-Erklärung" (Theodor Mommsen, Johann Gustav Droysen, Rudolf von Gneist and Rudolf Virchow). In the declaration they protested against the "revival of an old mania". Bismark, who had at times instrumentalised the anti-semitic movements to weaken the Liberals, ignored the "Anti-semitic Petition". The Vice President of the Prussian Ministry of State, Count Otto zu Stolberg-Wernigerode, declared in the Reichstag, that the governement "did not think of changing anything in the Equality Laws for Jews". Rudolf Virchow named this answer "correct, but cold up to the heart". The Anti-semitic Petition had been signed by 250.000 peoples.

Yes, of course - hey - do you think there is another deck chair somewhere round here? :beach: Waiter - we'll have two Pan-Galactic Thunder Garglers! Cold, please! .

That seems to be - sadly - true. You found anti-semitism in most other nations too. Only recently I started reading Graham Greene's "Stambul Train / Orient-Express", which appeared (I think) 1932. And the tone with which he describes the Jew in the train, made me really wonder. The sad story is, that the Jews earlier on during centuries, were excluded out from the guilds of craftsmen (at least in Germany) and many other well respected jobs (afaik). The jobs which remained possible for them (most outstanding negative "job": moneylender and shylock - a job that was needed in desperate situations, but at the same time often caused very bad feelings against the moneylender) put them in a negative light. Also, they partly seemed to "ghettoise" themselves somehow, through their religious and other attitudes, marrying only among Jewish people, instead of ever merging with the populations, where they were living. All other people who moved during the Migration Period, have merged with the people, where they arrived. Not so the Jews. Seems they always were in this dilemma since hundreds of years. But I'm aware that I may have a naive view on all this - I haven't read any good books on these points. .

Very sympathic, the man. Order is for the common brains. The genious can overview the chaos.

Impressive indeed, angles! But we must not forget, that WOFF is rather a flight sim. I guess that there is only so-and-so-much an average computer could calculate, steer and show on the screen. The amount of things going on in OFF/WOFF must be immense during a big dogfight. The fight alone is a lot to calculate and present; but then there are still all the other flights in your area "driven" by the computer at the same time. All that on a single theater/landscape! You can fly in OFF from Great Britain down to Italy in one go! So it seems to me, the game and sim developers have to make decisions, where they want to use the power of the average system. They could of course do far more - but most of our systems would then not be able to reproduce it in an acceptable manner, and it would rain complaints. The bottleneck, the limits are at the user's end.

Sorryyyyy????!!! I have not read "Mein Kampf" myself, but the Nazis mostly had. The author Adolf Hitler wrote this before he became "Reichskanzler", and he declared the Jews as the common enemy in his book.

Yes, true. And I guess, by now that is understood by the most. Sad, that another World War had to happen, before they all did.

Good analysis, Hasse Wind. But I'm glad it didn't happen. I'm an individualist, and I love to see individual countries, all with their own life style. I'm glad the French are behaving French, and the British are crazy - arhm, also unique. No, seriously - the variety in Europe makes Europe interesting. If everyone would behave more or less like the Germans, we might have a very orderly world - but how boring, how humourless would it be? Then I would have to move and become an Englishman. If they would have me, that is.
