I wonder if there are anyone up here who uses Dell Alienware M11x to run TW games. If yes, what is the graphics settings and what sort of FPS are you getting? This Laptop is using C2D SU7300 which I believe is merely a lower mid-range mobile CPU. But it has a not too bad GeForce GT 335M graphics card. Can anyone give me some input? Thanks!

Good God Almighty! It's too much to refuse watching. CrimSon Tide in my mind...a good scenario with some twists I am sure will definitely be a very good mission. Is that Sub and the SLBM ready for download now?

Do you really need to patch the FE 1 installation with all the updates you've got from the download section ? Can't you just install FE 1 then patch it up with the Nov Update and that's all?

Is it not working in SF1?

I will certainly try. But I am jut now thinking migrating one of the aircrafts from say WoE MiG-17 to FE1. I just love the theatre. Is that also possible?

Personally, I find the cloudscape in FE1 Nov 2008 version being the most beautiful. They are puffy, densely populated, some are bigger some are smaller and they all are populated at different altitude. Is it possible to migrate just the cloudscape from FE1 Nov 2008 to WOE/WOV/SF? If yes, how? Can anyone kindly help, I really love them all!

Over these years, TW games has developed tremendously to include not only fierce air battles but also battles on the ground. I still remember all those highly detailed ground battles in Falcon 4. Now I am just wondering if we will have submarine firing SLBM so that we can build some really exciting larger scale missions.

Fantastic! Thought it is about the sky not the ground so never looked into the Terrain Mod section . I am running series 1, many thanks!!

I have spent some time on this forum reading some of the threads dated back to 2008. Somebody mentioned a weather mod which offers some very nicely rendered clouds, they look very stereo and 3D. But I have found nothing close to that in the Download Section. Can somebody point me to the right website where such good mod can be found? Also what do I need to install the forest terrain for the Vietnam theater? Thanks!!

My desktop is a DIY small system. CPU=Q6600 (non-overclocked), RAM=XMS 1066MHz 2GB X 2 5-5-5-10, HD=Western Digital MyBook 1TB external via eSATA, Gfx=ATi Raedon 4870 1GB DDR3@stock speed. Played 2 session from Single Mission F-8 Crusader(stock aircraft) Vs MiG-17 and MiG-21, most enjoyable. Graphics settings are all on High with reflection and mirror on. The trouble was very choppy. I know by omitting mirror I save quite plenty of frames per second. But I do need the mirror and cockpit reflection to know my orientation during a dogfiht. I can install my TrackIR4 device but I wonder if that helps compemsating for the loss of mirror and cockpit reflection. Can anyone help me with this, I wanna to sort out what exactly is the bottleneck, the graphics card or the CPU? If I replace the Q6600 with E8500 would that be better, I heard that the E8500 is doing 3.4GHz raw speed. I do not want to overclock the Q6600 to reduce the CPU core temp so that I can maintain it below 45 degree...

Wen I hit F6, it goes to the external view that's quite okay. But as I keep pressing F6 on an don again it cycles to the next aircrafts but it takes a long way to go for some aircrafts which is quite some distance away. Now it's good to have some idea as to which group of aircrafts is not within the battlezone...but is it possible to have all the views snap'd?

I was watching Dick Schaffert documentary on the F-8 on the History Channel of cable. It is a really good documentary, I mean the graphical simulation is surreal! And the maneuver is so magnificent. I am looking for the F-8 addon and the MiG-17's. Want to put together a scenario just exactly the same as that experienced by Schaffert. There are a number of them up there in the download section. Which are the best have the most accurate avionics? Many thanks in advance.

Hi, can you tell me where I might find patches for Gunship! and all the mods, I just pirchaed the game a few days agao and it is now sitting ready on my hard disk.

Actually, I want to ask amongst a number of WWI titles, how would you folks list them all in descending order of preference? And likewise for WWII's?

Fair enough, I understand now. But what is in my mind is that say I've got Rise of Flight - The First Great War, why would I want to have OFF? Or vice-versa, say I've got OFF, why would I want to have Rise of Flight?

A couple of days ago, I finally got my copy of GUNSHIP! delivered, I am so happy:clapping: You might find me being a bit late, indeed, missed it when it came out 10 years ago. One of the main attractions is its graphics engine, I know it is not first class, but it still stands time, specially the sky and the trees. But what I like mostly is its in-game UI, the pre-flight plan and the debrief screens. But I've found a small problem there is that the sim lacks some view commands. I can only use F9 to view a fly-by, what are the keys for external views and are they pan-able? I heard that there are a few patches which can bring the sim to the most up-to-date release. And are there any mods which enrich this once great chopper sim? Also where I might find a forum which has more information and discussions about GUNSHIP!

Hi folks, Okey, I've finished a little bit of research. OFF has 2 phases right, phase 1 & 2 respectively. Now where I might find them for free? I wish to get hold of them prior to purchasing CFS3. And please do help me on this one: the following shows the box cover of CFS3. Apparently it is being sold by Valusoft and not Microsoft herself, is it good for OFF? Also I am trying to find Firepower for CFS3, but it is not available on neither eBay nor Amazon...?

I do not have an organized understanding of Energy Tactics and how to apply them! Al I know about it is to go vertical as much as possible to the highest ceiling as I can then maintain it like an eagle flying high to hunt for target below it. But in the heat of the battle, I always find it difficult to get it off my back and regain altitude before re-engaging it. The stick I use is a very primitive - the Saitek Cyborg X. And it is brand new. I'll try to tune it...

You're right bud, but the Spitfire has a sleek look and it is lighter. It is easier to maneuver than the Hurricane. But indeed, Hurricane outnumbered the Spitfire by kill ratios.

...just forgotten to mention...it was the time I tried to break left on the horizontal plane, the plane stalled and entered a spin not long after the stall happened... Perhaps I should put my IR Tracker back in place, because I cant really depend on the hat switch for tracking the AI.

I don't have plans for sticking to a particular plane but now I believe I have to. What about the Spitfire. When I was reading the Battle of Britain when I was 12, I read about all the glory of this legendary fighters, sounds like the F/A-18 of today. You said it right, I was so unlucky to enter a spin right after the plane started to stall almost every time. I hate when it does that. The AI always does that, splashes right in front of you and the the moment I realize that, it is already on my six. I believe we are on the same plane where the AI is trying to perform a flat scissor as it loses the advantage over me. I know what I've done wrongly. I break left, banking by 45 degrees, pull back on my stick (give me a hard on:grin:), speed bleeds, naturally by so much that after I have completed a 180 degrees thinking that the AI should be right in front of me, my speed is always less than 280KM which translate into 140Knots. I know this is bad. Should I do a Split-S, but I don't have that speed to climb to perform a 180 degrees turn in a vertical plane? If I roll by 180 degrees and perform the same 180 degree turn in the vertical down direction, do I pull back on the throttle so that he turn can be completed faster with a smaller radius? By beating the AI by a faster time, I suppose I can get advantage of a kill??

Hey gumpy! Thanks for the pointers!! It turns me on when I hit the WWI projects forum. Wasn't aware of IL-2's engine can be used for WWI scenarios. Should be a blast I say! Would you folks fill me in on WWI fighters? I mean general information regarding the aerodynamics sides of thins and aircraft specifications. I know every well about F-16, F-15, F-22, EF-2000, JAS-39, Spitfire, Tornado, Typhoon....etc. I mean the ceiling, cruise speed, AoA, range....all those you know...

If I already have IL-2 Sturmovik 1946, why would I want to have CFS2?

Even so, the sky looks natural. Yes, this one is good, bought it for $14.95, I still think it worths the money.
