Its funny I used to be over at SimHQ almost everyday, but it seemed slow lately so I thought over here it might be a bit more lively. I think it was Lima33 I used to talk to all the time, as he was very helpful. I've also seen your very active here as well, so thanks for taking the time, I appreciate it. I only wish the Flight forums were as active as they used to be. Nice part is I can still get shot down almost as much as I used to ! If I redid the key map in Word, do you think it would be helpful to anyone ? Most of the ones I see are all just in either acrobat or just Jpg's, which don't seem to print very well.

I looked up here and elsewhere and found a few, but they print up terrible. Is there one in Word or something that looks better ?

The music is great , don't get me wrong, but it is a bit loud. Are there modified files to make it less loud? I modified the Splash drumrolls . I don't want to infringe upon copyright laws here, so If these are wrong just let me know right away. Splash.wav

This looks good,and I have it installed now, just updated video card to a 1050TI 4Gb with my CORE I5 2500K 3.3G 6M with Win7 64 bit. I wonder If it would run Ok ? Right now in large formations I still notice a few stutters, but not too bad.

I just updated my video card to a 1050TI 4Gb with my CORE I5 2500K 3.3G 6M R from a 560TI video card with only 1Gb. I got IL-2 1946 and I've heard it runs better with OpenGL, but when I run it seems to be stutterless with Direct3d or DirectX and stutters quite a bit especially near the ground with OpenGL. I'm not running too high only 1680 x1050 x32. Should I just run it in Direct3D or are there some changes I can make to OpenGL to make it run better?

I just tried the demo of Rise of Flight, but getting the joystick right is a pain. Graphics are good too. I saw Canvas Knights here and it looked interesting even though I never heard of it. I have Over Flanders Field which isn't bad. I may try IL-2 1946, it looks like a bargain for what you get. Never heard of DCS world though. may try Flying Tigers Shadow over China. I also have Rowans BOB 2, but all the bombers flying really kills my FPS.

My PC is about 7 years old CPU INTEL|CORE I5 2500K 3.3G 6M, 8Gb of System memory running Win7 64 bit but just updated to a new 4Gb 1050Ti and was wondering what Combat flight sims I could run now. I have the box version of Flanders fields and First Eagles. I was hoping to try Rise of Flight and maybe some of the IL-2 series. Also If I get them on Steam do they run slower from being online? Old simmer hoping to get back into it. Updated mostly to run Assetto Corsa better, but I did flight sims ages ago including Red Baron Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

OK Thanks for the rapid response. I think I'm enjoying this more than Rise of Flight. The AI is really good. Never had so much fun getting shot down. Its also nice to know I can do a deadstick landing without instantly dying when I get close to the ground. Amazing amount of bullet holes in my plane too. Those Fokkers really fokkered up my SPAD. I'm in the process now of getting everything I need to mod it up. The balloons blow up very nicely as well

Yes running Windows 7 64 bit.

Just really started to get into this, haven't really modded it at all. Last night I was flying single missions, and after the mission was done and I was left crashing into the ground I hit escape and I got what looked like a screen, but it was all garbled and looked likea lower resolution. Anyone ever run into this at all ? Strange part was I somehow reflew the mission and it worked fine again. Running at 1050 x 1680 x 32, which is my native screen resolution.

I did read it, and If you notice I'm one of the people in the last part of the thread. I figured If I didn't load anything at all for a few days , I should be all set. But thanks for the link anyways, but I did read it and quite a few others as well, before I asked.

Thank you to someone, it now started working again Thanks Erik !

I downloaded 4 files the first day i joined and now haven't been able to download anything for 2 days, just wondered why.

Isn't the top end on a SPAD around 135 mph? In level flight of course. I think my Sopwith Tripe did 168 in a dive once, but it sounded like the whole crate was about to fall to bits.I think top speed level flight with the Tripe is around 110, but seems to cruise best around 90 .
