Dagger

looks good...

I had the same thing happen....had to reinstall the plane...something in thte ini file.

try this..nice fresh install,run game (once in mission esc. and close out game) now apply patch.now in game settings set your graphics to 800x600x16 with mirrors and shadows off..set your speakers to stereo speakers and sound to 16 bit. now give it a try....if this doesn't work post here exactly what it does when you CTD...and which video drivers are you using? there were some that caused all kinda trouble.

haven't had that one....is it just in this sim? was wondering it it could be a sticky hat?

Ok so I made it 1 month,cut down the patches to the next step.I still get this wild urge every now and then...but I have become quit the hard candy expert,gotta a question about hard candy..I can answer them. :D So Far So Good...

np...you're doing a damn fine fine job! :mrgreen:

cool...glad to hear that...I just upgrade my sound card and speakers(Thanks to my wife)...will look for ya at HL..I was lucky enough to have played several times and only crash came from onw stupidity..was D/Ling a patch,had it min. and forgot about it..went to HL and started to fly..d/l finished system went crazy.

it won't take my img. darn...MJ want me to send it to ya?

OK I tried to view the images..Strike Fighters of course :D and this is all I got..

DX9 has a bug that I've read causesd all kinda head aches for everyone IF the host has it and the others aren't using it yet...I'm not sure if this is true but it would answer some questions...

I think the pilots could be made better with darker green flight suits..or even camo ones...if you look at the suits in the cockpits they almost look white...

special artical sections, on the main page.

I finally got Part 2 of the radar tutorial finished and with MJs help and patience it's up.This one is mostly about the key commands... hope this helps.

It might be...not sure been a member for awhile. I know that while it was operated by ILan it was free...not sure about now.The paid part is a one time thing though.and If they support the game it is a great service as it's very lag free.

Looking over the list of people that seem to be having trouble I see lots of people that have really rocking systems with all the latest gear...And I see alot of people with older systems that seem to be running fine.Could some of the troubles be with the new hardware,and I hate to say it but I have to..,people turning everything up to max. just pushes system alittle to far?I'm running SF on a patched up system and If I run it with everything turned it it crashes like a big dawg..but turn them down and it runs fine.Plus I'm still running Win 98se..and guarding my disc like it was gold,maybe newer OS cause some of the trouble.I'm grabbing at straws here...trying to help.

Jay hasn't done anything to support any new games yet..he's just got it back and trying to get everything stright is taking alot of his time.I'm continuing to e-mail him and ask..will let everyone know as soon as I can nail him down to a Yes

OK for those of you who didn't use Kali before head over to www.kali.net and get a free membership while they last and read up on the news. for those of you who have used it in the past remember before the sell out to ILan it was owned by Jay Cotton..well He's back Jay bought it back from Bankrupty court and he's getting it back up to speed,alot of games still supported,and I'm continuing to talk to Jay.Will let yall know mopre as I get it.

yes it's easy..just set it up as if you were setting your ripple count in bombs.

yes the DC patch is out..You have to have 1.03 installed to play against most players now.keep in mind that gamespy is nolonger an option as this is direct play only and it has no support for any hosting service.The bext place to find a game is to A) Join WPL spend time in the chat rooms,almost always people looking for games there,or B) join WPL if you only play DC join a squadron and hook up with your fellow skippers and most have a standing night and a Flotilla they fight against.Oh yeah..as always you need a completely clean install as this patch hates mods. graphics and sound not bad but data mods,although not allowed in WPL play,will not let the patch install properly. hey Dirt you are a great mission builder maybe you'll make a few here also.

That might be hard coded..if so we can't touch that one.

make it so that we can hook up without Gamespy or Hyper Lobby.Ior else make it so we can have a passworded game,with a misison editor.Lamespy is about as bad as it gets for lag,and HL is ok but it limits the number of games available.Look at the mission editor for the Janes games..great examples.Please give us a hand. I mean look at Silent Hunter 2,as a community we just installed a completely new MP engine in it and Destroyer Command,so anything is possible.We're not asking for such drastic actions as that but a mission editor and more options for MP would be nice.

if you don't see a version number yes you are the owner of a wal-mart version.Where did you get it? and when? seems a few of these are still being sold.

I use an AMD system..only thing I'll ever own.Intell you pay alot for their advertising.Sorry just had to say that. Oh yeah forgot where I was for a sec. they work fine on my system.

Pons,ok lets get ya going... first lets clear the slate..empty your missions folder completely.Now go to the missions you downloaded and save them using a text editor I use Wordpad..save it using this and name it daymission,or nightmission,don't add anything to it..just the mission name.now cut and paste it to your missions folder.now start SF and select single mission...open the custom mission side and you should see it there.

OK I hope this helps but make sure you have the bomb types,I sometimes carry different types,or missiles you want to employ selected before you even worry about ripple counts and delays...once you do this then set up your delievery. theres 3 steps to employing ordance..1 select proper ordance,2 select ripple count,3 select delevery delay. and if you have a AR missile selected then besure to have your target selected.
