In a Phantom, when you see a commie at your Six. Point the stick down, hit the burners and run. You will never ever loose a Mig in a turn. Extend, ran a circuit, get altitude and only when possible do we re-engage.

Cool Experiments Gunrunner. You might be on something here. As it turns out my fix wasn't that great either. The game ran fine up until i had a SEAD Mission on a high overcast weather and started to have blinking terrain and detaching objects inside the cockpit. If the VRAM hypothesis could be explained due to the sheer number of objects being rendered compared to doing fighter sweeps and intercepts as rendering ground textures, hundreds of ground objects, water, and overcast clouds and planes can stress the VRAM( i think).

Not sure that it'll make any effect as you're overriding the game settings by giving the card full control. But wont hurt if you try it. Also i forgot that i used a program that cleans out GPU drivers before installing a new one or rolling back to an old driver. its a personal thing but i believe having a clean install kinda removes a lot of conflict with the junk accumulated from old drivers and stuff. PS. program runs in safe mode. Guru3D.com-DDU.zip

That's unfortunate. Anyway, whatever works. Guess i'm lucky i can get away with just some modifications.

My inkling is that you have to let the GPU Do everything instead of allowing the "application" to handle them. and V-sync should be off i think. Anyway here's mine. Hope it works. Driver Version 355.98 notebook Win10 64bit international Anisotropic Filtering = 8X Antialiasing FXAA = On Antialiasing Mode = Override any App Setting Antialiasing Setting = 8X Antialiasing Transparency = 2x supersample CUDA - GPUs = All Maximum pre-rendered frames = 1 Multi-display/mixed GPU Acceleration = Compatible performance mode Power Management mode = Prefer consistent performance Shader Cache = On Texture filtering-Anisotropic sample optimi = On Texture filtering-Neggative LOD Bias=Allow Texture filtering-Quality = High Performance Texture filtering-Trilinear optimization = on Threaded optimization = On Vertical Sync = Off Virtual Reality pre-rendered frames =1

just started having this issue after overclocking my laptops gpu and running a stress test with sf2 that gave me a blue screen. after rebooting updates installed on its own. and even detuning. im having this tearing and floating object thing. EDIT: Rolling back drivers isnt an option for me as the new drivers works well with my other programs and had a thought. I opened the Nvidia Control panel and changed some of the setting for SF2. Manually setting the values to something i thought was appropriate for my GPU and allowing application controlled settings on some of them removed the problems and gave me a much better render of the 3d objects than just leaving them on the default global settings set by Nvidia.

Driver updates. That's all i did to correct it.

7eleven's wiki link states that an alternative title is Black Eagle and Google search informed me that Black Eagle is a North American release. So there's an English Dub/Sub release of this film somewhere. And your right Blaze, it does remind me of ACAH. Im grateful to ACAH though. it caused me to drop the AceCombat title and found myself loving the SF series. Oh well now we know what TOP GUN 2 would look like.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8rK7EKS8n4 I just happened on this vid on youtube. A lot of GGI but the urban chaos looks nice nonetheless. The clips seems like its from a movie or something.

Kinda slow on the forums lately... Just a quick clip. On the way back from a successful intercept. Between me, wingie and no 3. we got made short work of 12 backfires and a badger. We were on the return flight. when a lone Fulcrum bounced our tail. I saw tracers, panicked pulled tight across and above it and thankfully didnt get hit. Rolled over and saw that the Mig was hot on no 3. Dropped down behind him and pulled the trigger. 2nd part of vid was just some practice against 2 Mig21.

Looking Good!

Leave the wingies behind (they'll just die anyway. Fly as high as you can and as fast as you can. once you heard them SAM calls, dive! Stay low and fast. Be ready to fail some missions and hope your not on escort duty. Unfortunately, after countless of experiments these are the only way to stay alive in a SAM infested Map. Note: on occasion, a stray SAM, AAA, or enemy aircraft can get you even if your kissing treetops.

Excellent call Eric. :)

Ah yes Politics.

That's one nice looking bird Kinda looks like an F-16XL. I though IAI only makes mirage replicas

For most windows 10 related issue the usual fix is to download the latest drivers off manufacturers site. If your lucky they might have released a new win10 compatible driver. Uninstall the affected drivers. Reboot and install new drivers. If that doesnt work. Uninstall and reinstall using compatibility mode

Do they accept installments? Like 50 years?

That's pretty quick Eric. :) Anyway just continuing the Delta series. Here i took the Typhoon against the RafaleC-F4. Went Up High and looped back down Hoping to find the Rafale Bled Out of energy or at least on the defensive. The rafale carried itself well and we entered a long dragged out battle where i tried to find the optimum profile where the Typhoon has a definitive advantage. Well, as it turns out having the same engine and design layout made both planes identical at almost every aspect. We had a stalemate at Supersonic, Subsonic, 300+s and at 200+s. The Fight took 10 Mins from merge to finish and ended with my trying my best to get out fly the AI and a blind high deflection shot. First half of the Video was against the Chinese J10A. I figured they have a high chance of going against each other if China got hot. Went up and looped down on the J10. the J10 turned into me and went vertical himself but i was able to place the piper infront of his path and knocked the engine out. Despite seemingly loosing engine power the J10 was still gliding, and so i slid behind the fighter and mercifully gunned him down to save him the possibility of being tortured to death by the communist government for loosing such a valuable plane. Part 2 of the vid, i took up the Jas39C Gripen vs the EF-2000 Typhoon. On my previous DACT the Gripen was destroyed an i wanted to see how the typhoon will handle under AI Hands. Again the AI spawned behind me so i took the Gripen up to see if it can handle the same maneuver i was doing with the typhoon. Nope. The single engine configuration didnt gave the Gripen enough oomph to sustain the climb and i started loosing speed real fast. puled back and nose over and met the Typhoon on my descent. and we entered a a right hand chase. Trying to gather energy and maintaining an angle that will allow me to continue threatening the Typhoon was a difficult task due to the gripen's lack of thrust. However i did find out that at sustain speeds of over 300+ KIAS is able to take a smaller raduis that matches the turn rate of the Typhoon which the AI happily flies on full burner alternating between 300+ KIAS to Mach speed depending on out position. While balancing the Gripens angle and energy I managed to curl inside the Typhoon with timed throttle bursts and hard pulls. unlike the Typhoon the Gripen's tank is minuscule so i had to manage the throttle. After several attempts i managed to land a couple of hits which took out the typhoons wing. However despite loosing more than half of its right wing and damaging its engine, the Typhoon managed to glide away super cruising past the top speed of the Gripen. In th end i had to call bingo and slowly followed the Typhoon as it glides for hundreds of miles before it finally ran out of fuel and crash. At which point i myself had to land on the desert floor due to lack of fuel available for the return flight. It seems that the Delta and Canard configuration is really a great choice for Modern Fighters. And the Typhoon and the Rafale is among the best of them. Ofcourse, i still think the Gripen is still the sexiest among them. SAAB knows how to make poster models.

If you got Vietnan im assuming that your either interested in history or you like carrier, carrier planes such as Phantoms and such. If its the former i'll probably go with either europe or israel and if its the latter reason, go with NA first cause of the new Naval stuff added.

Thanks Guys! I like the jonnyguru site and thanks for explaining the ratings on the PSUs. I think i have most of the knowledge i need for selecting the components that will go into my build. Im not building an uber set-up. I wont be doing SLI or multi monitor setup. Just a dedicated computer for a small library of Flight sim, old racing games and NBA2ks. As the first two genres are all that i care about and 2K is to entertain my friends with. I really appreciate your input. I have more confident that the stuff im getting is gonna be robust and reliable with the right amount of performance needed and will be relevant for a long time. Much obliged! Thanks!

Yup. 3.9 on boost. And that just justify the need not to overclock. I have nothing against AMD, it just that for my speccific requirements i think the 4690 is the perfect fit. I was chatting with the store manager earlier and he promised to get me whatever i'll be needing for my build including Either Asus H97 Pro Gamer (which to me doesnt look as good as the other one but doesnt really matter as it's gonna be hidden anyway.) or a gigabyte or MSI model which will be 100 USD cheaper than the Z97 Board/ Sufficient savings that will be great for getting better PSU and Fans, or if he can give me the 30% discount on the GTX 970 a much better GPU. As cool as water cooling would be. I just don't wanna deal with it. Good positive Air pressure and periodical cleaning will probably suffice. It's gonna be placed in an AC room for most of its life anyway. (Actually if i can find a way to get the radiator outside the room without messing to much with concrete, water cooling will be a good future upgrade.) On the subject of PSU. What's your take on a semi modular PSU from coolermaster?

Went ahead and took the Typhoon against other relevant Daltas. here's the first half: 1. EF-2000 vs Mirage-2000D Fight started with the mirage spawning at the Typhoon's 7 o'clock. leveled the Typhoon and went vertical. after about two Yoyo's and blackouts i was able to get behind the Mirage and stayed there with no difficulty. After 38 30mm rounds of bad aiming i was able to predict its damn flight path and gunned it down. 2. EF-2000 vs JA-37D This Fight was surprisingly a lot more challenge. Spawned on my 7 we ended in a mach speed-high G left hander, The JA-37D handled the Typhoon pretty well at this regime so i took the typhoon up and dove on the Viggen to change it up a bit. We went Vertical for a couple of passes and i failed to managed the Typhoon's energy and we ended up if a slow right hand turn as i build the typhoon's Energy up. But the Viggen did a reversal and tried to drag the fight out back in a left hander. I leveled out and took the fight back to the vertical which finally placed me within striking distance of the Viggen. After another series of bad gunnery i finally able to nad a couple of hits on its tailpipes. 3. EF-2000 Vs Jas-39C Learning from the two previous fights and expecting a more demanding opponent i punched the AB right after the bat and went vertical as i wait for the Gripen to spawn. Dove down on the Gripen to start a vertical circle which bled the gripen's energy and allowed me a 6 o'clock position. Got a good firing solution and let out a burst that set the grpen's engine on fire. Idle the throttle and engaged the brakes. To allow slower VC, lined up the Vigen to the Piper. too high. Dropped the nose and let out a burst to end the fight for good.

Thanks to all that replied. I guess the GTX 960 is now my main target, The GTX 970 does looks great but its twice the price of the GTX 960 here. I will probably go for a good 2x 8GB RAM / 1x 16GB RAM but which one is better a single ram stick or 2 for safety??? easy upgrade? @Lucshep - As much as possible i would like to avoid over clocking if necessary as (correct me if i'm wrong) i believe that the 4 core 3.5ghz performance it offers is relevant for gaming for another 2 to 3 years. After all, this is my first time building a Computer by myself (and yes. I really want to go through the experience and will be very careful./ I had experience fixing and replacing hardware on several computers at work but never a full blown build). - Thanks for the tip on the Mother board. Again, not over clocking (but would like room for improvement but not necessary). I have a silly preference for one shop in the Phils as i had a great history working with them for the past five years. They all the warranty and support plus they always give me about 20% discount for bulk buying. That being said they have a limited line up with their explanation being that "these are the only ones we think matters, other stuff are just in between crap". While i don't buy this explanation. the stuff they offer are usually good. That being said, they don't have H97 boards although i just communicated with the owner and he plans to bulk up their line up in the future with H97 boards which will be almost half the price of the Zboards. But at the moment my choice with them is limited to Asus Gryphon Z97 Armor Edition cause i like its subdued look and Asus z97-pro(wifi-AC) cause it has built in dual band WiFi. One thing that hat also makes me want to consider the Zboard is that they're built for overclocking which probably mean they can handle more stress, which probably means that they are more durable... right? And the added standby upgrade-ability wont hurt either Now that we have pretty much decided on the Processor, GPU and motherboard i can i can now look into the casings. yey! I think the Thermaltake Versa H24 CA-1C1 Mid tower match the unassuming simplicity that i like with my stuff. Yup, like simple black things. I'm not a fan of Multi color, flashing LEDs and stuff. The question with it is that i don't know much about it asides from how it looks. I have no idea what fan setup i can use with it. Thanks guys. Will appreciate more input.

I guess this might be better in the hardware forums but I want to have the opinions of SF Guys specifically. I wanted to build a new pc that can run the game at least on the high settings and hopefully still run them on high settings with all the HD mod available here at CA. Aside from SF2 i'm also planning to run Some 2k Stuff for when my friends come over and other SIM titles. I've been running the game off my laptop for a long time now which to be honest is very convenient but not that great. And since I got diagnosed with a spine problem i can no longer do karate, Boxing and other strenuous lifting and movements i can no longer use my equipment's thus i may have to sell my bag mounts and other stuff. The good thing about this is i now have extra space available for a PC Set up and some probable startup cash for building a new PC that can handle gaming. I want to avoid over clocking as much as possible as I'm from the tropics so we have high ambient temp all year round and i want to keep the power draw as low as possible as the Electric bill here is really high. Parts i'm looking at Processor: Intel Core i5-4690 which sells at USD 235 (Php10500), for some reason i couldn't find an i5-4690K Video Card: I'm having trouble with this one. My first choice was an Asus Strix-GTX760OC 2gbd5 which cost about 260USDbut then is saw a STRIX-GTX960 2GB at USD 250 which is inexplicably cheaper. Or would it be wise to go for an AMD R9-280X which is also around the same price point but has 3GB DDR5? Will the Vram difference make a difference for SF2 or will the 760 or 960 both with 2GB of VRAM be enough? Motherboard: I'm looking at get a Z97 or Z87 board from Asus as i had a really good history with ASUS but they range from 150 to 250 USD i could probably get the same ones from MSI for half that but is the quality of MSI boards on par with Asus? RAM, storage, PSU, fans and Chasis will be decide once i figured out these 3. So do you guys think i can get away with max settings on an 1080P, 32" display with these stuff?
