    Yeah exactly, I think that too (I used to play SF:P1 on my old Windows XP PC before and I hadn't any kind of performance problem, it used to run perfectly on that older machine) It's the same @MigBuster is saying to me: older versions of Strike Fighters like SF:P1 have compatibility problems with more modern PC or OS than XP, and it's very little you can do if the game brokes... So he's telling me to switch to some more modern and Windows 10 compatible Strike Fighter version, like the upcoming Strike Fighters 2 Windows 10 supported edition. Thank you very very much anyway for helping me anyway Mr.gerwin

    When i say that my game used to run at extremely low fps (such as 3 to 5 fps) I mean I had the infamous "Windows 10 Low FPS" problem, that has already been discussed on COMBAT ACE website, but the fix shown in that video nor the 2008 patch did not change anything... The only way I could run SF:P1 well was to set my high-performance NVIDIA graphic card as "default running method", as I already said before..

    I've done it, and i have also updated the game to last 2008 patch, but framerate has not improved. The only way i could fix that was to change my default "running game settings" of my PC for SF:P1, from default graphic card to my high-performance NVIDIA graphic card. Now the game runs perfectly (50/60 fps), even if i play it at lowest settings (except for 1920x1080 res) THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT whenever me or another aircraft shoots down another plane, THE GAME SUDDENDLY FREEZES for 1 or 2 seconds… this also happens when a comm is given (like QG or wingmen) HELP ME PLEASE, CAUSE THIS ISSUE MAKES THE GAME UNPLAYABLE!

    I must say that i had to set everything to lowest settings (except for 1920x1080 res) and change default "running method" to my high-performance NVIDIA graphic card though, cause it would heavily lag (between 3 to 5 fps) if i played it with default graphic card.

    It is unmodded, i've just updated it to last 2008 patch and downloaded some aircrafts.. that's it. I run it at good framerate, it freezes sometimes when a comm is given (such as QG that spots enemy boogies or wingmen who say something) or when me or someone else shoots down a plane and an explosion or destruction of a plane happens (like if the game starts loading destroyed plane model and so freezes for 1 or 2 seconds)

    Ah ok, so that's why my SF:P1 does not run perfectly on a modern OS like Windows 10 i imagine, right? And so SF2 won't have any performance problem on more modern machines like mine?
  7. JamesWilson
    Thank you very very much Mr. MigBuster for answering me in such rapid and detailed way So what you saying is that SFP1 is dead and i should switch to SF2 right?
  8. JamesWilson
    You mean to buy another Strike Fighters title with saying "a version supported on your OS", like Strike Fighters 2, Vietnam, Europe or similar?

    Hi guys, i have a very big issue regarding one of my favourite games of all time: Strike Fighters: Project 1. I play this beautiful old game on my PC and i run it pretty well at lowest settings and 1920x1080p (i had ALSO to change "default graphic card option" to my high-performances NVIDIA graphic card, due to the fact that the game heavily lags if i run it with the default graphic card option, even if it's all set on lowest settings). After i figured out this little issue, the game runs pretty smoothly and at an high framerate so, what's the problem? The problem is that whenever i hit or shoot down a plane or i look at an explosion, the game freezes for a couple of seconds... So i don't know what to do and why this happens… Is that because Strike Fighters: Project 1 is too old for a modern medium-high end PC? (I used to play it also on my previous low end Windows XP PC, and i never had any kind of problem) Should i play the game at lower resolutions even if all settings are already at lowest? Why had i to choose my high-performances NVIDIA graphic card to play the game without lag even if it's an old and well optimized game? Please help me, i know SF:P1 is a very old game and i should go for SF2, but the first one is one of my favourite games of all time and THIS PROBLEM MAKES THE GAME UNPLAYABLE!!! THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH, cause this is a HUGE PROBLEM, i really have no idea of what to do and i'm very confused about what's happening...

    Hi, guys, i just wanted to ask you a simple question… when i set the "selected weapon" button to LCtrl, it does not work… If i hold LCtrl, i cannot even control the plane, it does not move, but if i press LCtrl together with another button (if i bind "selected weapon" button with LCtrl together with another button), i can shoot my selected weapon, but if want to set a control only on LCtrl, without mixing it with another button, it does not work... Why? Can you help me that i really can't explain this and i' m confused too?? Thank you very much guys
  13. JamesWilson
    OK, thank you very much, and sorry for being annoying
  14. JamesWilson
    So what should i do? What can i do to fix this enormous issue?? I' m really desperate…. Should i reinstall the game? And from where should i install the latest patch?
  15. JamesWilson
    So how should i do? Should i reinstall SFP1 and re-download the last patch from TW web site?

    I HAVE NO IDEA ON HOW TO FIX THIS "AFTER 2008 PATCH" LAG AND FREEZE ISSUE Hi guys, after understanding i had to update my version of SFP1 (i had the very first version), i went on Combat Ace to download the patch… I found a pack that included all patches, but it required the last SFP1 service pack installed. So i went on Third Wire web site and i downloaded the last service pack (v. 05.15.06), then i installed it on my SFP1 file. After that, i went back to Combat Ace, to install the patch pack on my SFP1 file, it finally worked. After doing so, i started playing SFP1, i instantly saw that the settings had reset, i could finally choose the year to play with, and other normal changes. I decided to start a mission, just to see what else changed, and an INCREDIBLE AND MASSIVE LAG STARTED, I COULDN' T EVEN PLAY, IT KEPT FREEZING, STUTTERING, LAGGING, LIKE 5 FPSs. Before i installed these files (service pack and patch), the game was veeeeeeery smooth, at high detail (the game is very old and i have a poweful pc too), i had no problems… but i decided to update it because the version i had was too old (lots of feautures missing). I had also played Wings Over Europe in the past, and i knew that the oldest versions of the game (previous to 2008 patch) used to run very bad on modern computers, but in my case, in SFP1 is the contrary!!! Only after installing these packs all these problems started… i also tried to play it on lowest settings, but the difference is almost absent. Please help me, i got no idea on what to do, why this happened, and if needed, how to restore to the version before i applied these patches. This is a very very big issue for me, it turned one of my favourite games into a TOTALLY UNPLAYABLE game! I want to thank you all guys, for constantly helping me and people like me, who love the Strike Fighter series, but has no clue on how to mod and change this awesome game

    I am using only SFP1 planes, and some planes have a working radar (like the Hornet), and some not (like the Eagle)... I don't know why, maybe i unzipped wrong some files, or put them in a wrong file section….. i got no idea. I don't think i have the updated version of the game, i just downloaded it.. btw, i' m not sure, but i don't think that this problem is linked to the version i am using, and i don't think that's a problem of the specific plane packs i downloaded, cause they're all from TMF and they all work well… THE PROBLEM IS: when i play with an Hornet (for example), i can toggle on or off the radar panel on the top right, and change the radar mode too, like all others vanilla planes; but when i play a plane like the Eagle or the Tomcat too, the radar panel does not appear, i press the button to activate it or change radar mode and nothing happens... This is a very big issue, for example without radar i cannot see enemies detected, watch for incoming "SAMs" or even using a radar guided missle like the "Sparrow", if you have any idea or solution please let me know, i' m desperate…

    THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH!!!!!! I' m so happy you gave me such a complete and detailed answer! As i said at the beginning of the topic: the Combat Ace community is the BEST
  19. JamesWilson
    Oh no… that's sad but thank you for telling me
  20. JamesWilson
    Thank you very very much! And how do i play the missions i create? And the other members also said that you could not edit missions in SFP1 and Wo* series... So how do these editors exist? So do they work?

    I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH RADARS IN SOME DOWNLOADED AIRCRAFTS Hi, since i got SFP1, i downloaded some planes from this web site, like the F-15A Eagle and the F/A-18 Hornet. The only problem is that some planes have a working radar, like vanilla planes, and some others doesn't even have it, and i don't know why. All planes i downloaded are from "The Mirage Factory", and when i downloaded them for SFP1 on my old computer (the FX version of the game), they all had a working radar panel, but not now. I don't think the problem is the plane packs that i downloaded, they' re all from TMF, and they all work well. Please help me, cause i got no idea on how to fix this issue… Thank you very much for helping, it means alot
  22. JamesWilson
    Ok, thank you very much. So sadly if i still want to play SFP1 and not the second one, i won't have any edited mission… so is my dream of landing on a carrier in SFP1 disappeared? And my second and LAST QUESTION is: how do i change plane models of the enemies? What can i do if i want to dogfight against Su-35s or Mig-29s instead of Mig-15s and Mig-21s??? THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH FOR ANSWERING ME, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT
  23. JamesWilson
    And where is the pen? On the editor or in the vanilla game? And how do i change enemy planes? Do i have to download them from "addons Aircraft" section?
  24. JamesWilson
    Ok, Thank you very much my friend :)
  25. JamesWilson
