You are a very brave man Eagle. I am very happy for you. Continued blessings.

I have found open track to work very well. I am using a head tracking system from a guy called Grassmonkey Simulations. https://grassmonkeysimulations.com/

He 3D prints them, and they work extremely well, an they are wireless, which I really like. I never did like Trackir 5 with the 3 pronged hat clip. I know they are held in high regard, not bashing them at all, I just prefer this wireless solution (at less than half the cost). I am using a profile for IL-2 BOS, and it works just fine.

He has 100% reviews on Ebay. https://www.ebay.ca/usr/grassmonkeysimulations?_trksid=p2047675.m3561.l2559

I  hope I am not breaking any rules mentioning this guy.

Is anyone using opentrack for head tracking in game ? If so do you have suggestions on profile settings ?

Ok, I tried a couple of things.

1- installed and ran once Windows Media Player

2-set both woff and cfs3 apps compatibility settings to "run this program as an administrator" as per Polovski

3- Turned of Dynamic Lights

4- installed 1.04 patch (issue happened with 1.03 patch)

Finished a mission, and was able to exit without any issues.

Thanks guys. 

The CTD was before I installed patch 1.04.

Polovski, I sent off the required files.

I will run Windows Media Player once, thanks BB.      EDIT( Turns out WMP was not installed )

Cntrl + Q usually ends my mission (brings up to hit enter), but this time it just Crashed to desktop.

Disappointing as I had to nurse my damaged bird to a safe landing.

I see this has been an issue in previous versions. There is mention of configuring Windows Media Player. I have no idea what that entails.

I tried setting it up in options. I tried to change the default mouse view.

Not home right now, will just try in game later.

Thanks for replies..

How is this accomplished ? In settings I only see mouse as view control. I click on it to change, but the game does not sense my Trackir 5.

I've done some searching and have found no solution.

I know World Cup 2010 is the big thing but was following the NHL draft for the next batch of potential stars. Edmonton got Hall while the Bruins got Seguin at #2. What's intersting in this draft was a lot of players were drafted lower than what they were ranked by the Ceental Scouting Bureau.

Well enjoy that 2nd overall pick from the Leafs. Although I do like Kessel, Seguin would have looked good in blue and white.

Yep, it's Britain's Got Talent from last Saturday.

 

From the sublime to the ridiculous - see what else was on the show too (at about 7.15pm when kids including my 9 year old daughter were watching):

That's just brutal TV. She's a Hag to boot.

Man she must be one tough Beoch!

I'm another Geezer looking some WOV online action.

Sadly I don't seeing things changing any time soon. As men, we look at asking for help, or expressing emotional pain as a weakness. I'm not saying its right. Sadly the story quite often ends up like this one.

Men of today seem to be paying for all the unanswered abuse in the past. Now men are automatically guilty, and have to fight like hell prove themselves innoccent.

Very sad, and scary at the same time. I love my kids so much, that I can understand how the pain of separation from them would be overwhelming. The fact that you found your friend in this state makes the event a traumatic one for you also. Hopefully "ranting" as you put it, helps you in someway at least.

I have known more than a few separated/divorced guys who have gone the suicide route, its too sad. The women always seem to come out ahead, even if they don't deserve to.

Did you install latest edition hyperlobby for WOV?It works for SFP1 also.As for WOE,is just waiting somebody else playing on LAN or internet connects.Kinda hit and miss.

Yes I do have Hyperlobby, but it seems to be a IL2 lovefest only. I will check more often.

Where to find online servers for WOE/WOV ? the in game browser brings up nothing. I tried Xfire with the same results. Does anybody play online?

Thanks for all the replies guy's. I will play around with the settings. Yes turning off Fraps is an idea Good to hear that it is a common issue,disapointing that the latest patch would be a FPS hog.

I picked up WOE and WOV today, happier than a pig in you know what, until I patched it up and did trial runs with both games. The required specs for WOE are

System Requirements

OS: Windows 2000/XP

Processor: 600 MHz or faster

Memory: 256 MB RAM

Hard Drive: 1.1 GB free space

Video Card: 64 MB DirectX 9

My specs are

AMD Athlon 64x2 3800+,

CPU speed 2.00Ghz rated at 5.70Ghz,

2 GB Ram, Geforce 9600 GSO 768MB,

Windows XP Home.

I expected 60+ FPS on high detail. But to get 60+ I have to use low detail...bummer. Med detail I get around 40, is this normal for this game? Are there any tweaks to improve FPS ?

Thanks,

WT
