Welcome HumanDrone. Exactly. You don't need to be a greater pilot to have fun with this combat sim. I'm not very good either. Cheers

Yes you're right Olham. But the fees must be expansive... I think.

In amazon.de it's out of stock. Besides the shipping fees to USA probably would be more expansive. I still don't have a BR player yet, but this series deserved a BR edition Duce. Sooner or later I bet you'll have one. That's the main reason why I haven't bought yet the Band of Brothers.

Eheheh.

I've less 20 FPS (average) running OFF, with the same graphic settings, in Win XP than I've in Win7. I've notice this since a couple of drivers versions ago. It's the reason why I play in Win7. With the newest drivers release (9.11) I decide to give it a try again. Unfortunately nothing is changed. I reduced the stuttering I was having by deactivating Force Feedback, but the FPS remain low compared with Win7. I could suspect that something is wrong with my XP installation, but with other games, I don't have this huge difference, only in OFF. The only difference is that I'm using ATI Tray Tools in Win7 and CCC in XP. But less 20 FPS it's too much... Has anybody with ATI cards is feeling the same "falling" performance?

Yesterday I remove the CCC in XP and replaced with ATI Tools. No difference. The same low performance with 43343. So that's not the reason. If in the other installed games I had the same drop performance I would say it would be a issue with my Windows XP. But they haven't. PC gaming was always like riding a wild horse. So many things to attend, so many unique problems. Well at least OFF is running well in my Win7, so this is no big deal.

I have a Audigy with gameport uncleal. The problem is that M$ stop the support of gameport in Vista. But there is a hack, which I'm using and working well in Win7 also. Only I don't have FFB. But like Pol said it's time to move on. I ordered a Thrustmaster T.16000M. But I bet that old Sidewinder will survive longer than all of that new "fancy" joysticks.

Don't worry! You don't have a trojan or virus! It's a false positive ( http://service1.symantec.com/sarc/sarc.nsf/info/html/what.false.positive.html ) Look at this thread: http://forum.combata...page__hl__avira Cheers

My card is a 4890.

My is the oldest one, Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro that connected through a gameport and not a USB. I examined, with Process Monitor, the processes running while I was playing OFF. And each time I move the joystick there is a call for a sys file that control and induce the force feedback effects in the joystick. That might induce or not some lag. But the fact is that turning off Force Feedback with this particular joystick reduced a lot of the stuttering, in my case. I'm sure that this will happen also with other games. I don't believe that this is a particular case of CFS3 or OFF. It's a pity that M$ stop giving support to gameport and to their own devices.

One thing that might be important in reducing micro stuttering in Win7 is disabling hardisk index in Win7. I didn't remembered this feature when I installed OFF in Win7 but since I disable it I notice a little improvement.

I doubt too that is possible, but it would be a nice.

Yes I wonder if there will be any performance optimization in this patch.

Don't want to sound too disappointing, but I'm afraid you, and most of us will.

I feared so... Oleg syndrome is very contagious.

When?,When?,When?...

No. Like Polovsky advised, try to set all exe inside CSF3 folder with the XP compatibility mode and the "Run as Administrator" activated.

Thanks for all your efforts Tailwind. The devs have made a a truly fantastic mod for CFS3. You'll love it. Cheers and thanks again.

Yes that's true unfortunately.

I'd only LW missions in 1916 period. But that might be a coincidence.

When you download the Expansion Set you can burn it on a CD, if it's around 400mb. Usually with Avangate you've the chance also to order a DVD backup, but it will cost you extra. I wouldn't save in a flash stick, because they aren't very reliable. I'll use a CD or a DVD.

More important, or at least as important than w in a PSU is the amp value and the number of rails, specifically in +12v. But in doubt choose always a good brand name. Brand names like the ones specified by Parky and BeQuiet and Cooler Master should be the choice. But if you want to to calculate how much power your rig need you can use this calculator: http://extreme.outer...ucalculator.jsp About the brand names for graphics, I personally choose Asus and EVGA.

Just waiting for the "Buy Now".

Great work!

Carefull because not all Nvidia 9 series are better than 8800GT or a 8800GTS or 880GTX. There is no big difference between 9800GTX and 8800GTS (later version 512MB). Nvidia 9 series don't have big improvements from the 8 series.
