In several posts on various forums, I saw where many people said that FC will not work with Vista. So I could not resist the temptation any longer and decided to load Vista. I loaded Vista RC1, build 5600. The installation itself went fairly smoothly. I had to find an older driver for my integrated sound card and Netgear wireless adaptor. Not much of a problem though. I then decided to load Lockon and FC. Lockon installed and ran the very first time with no problems. I then loaded FC and it installed the first time also. However, when I decided to run FC, the starforce dialog box would come up and say some files needed to be copied to computer. After I hit "ok", the dialog box disappeared and nothing happened. I finally went to starforces website (www.star-force.com) and downloaded a new driver that was supposedly compatible with Vista. Once again, I ran FC and the same thing happened. Getting desperate I checked the properties for FC and checked the box to run it as XP compatible. Still, same thing when I ran FC and nothing happened. Lastly, I selected to run the program as administrator. After that, everything worked fine. The bottom line is that FC works fine on my PC with Vista installed. As a disclaimer, I installed Vista RC1 32 bit. I don't know how the 64 bit does. Also, I installed everything so I could dual boot. I used Partition Magic to create a partition for Vista. I will now try the Cougar and see how it works.....

I know exactly what you mean. Its very simple to fix this and it doesnt affect FPS at all. You need to change values in graphics.cfg Change lines fogparam2=1.1 and ObjectFogMultiplier=0.6 to 0 and 0.2. You can experiment with this. The bigger the value the more object will fade in and you get disgusting transparency. I use values 0.4 and 0.2. That way you get nice solid structures, trees, etc. Like it was prior to FC. Regarding cliping values, this generaly means at what distance something will appear and at what detail. I use Modman. Dont change near, middle, far clipping values but other instead. I use 80 for structures, 200.000 for trees, LOD full. And above anything else you really should have scenes on high. This is the vital thing.

F-15 is definiteley next, but I don't have a lot of time on my hands right now - so this might take a while. By the way: You should still drop the tank, SuperKungFu! ;)
