  1. I have tried to make SLI work for quite some time with LOMAC and spent countless hours scouring the inetnet for a solution to no avail. Running the game with SLi enabled results in flickering clouds and flashing MFD displays(A10). At the very least I wanted to have SLI on so I wouldnt have to keep switching it on and off every time I play a different game....very annoying. I didnt spent $ 3500.00+ on a system to have to disable hardware. It seemed to me to be a driver issue because with Sli off the game runs just fine. I finally came across this great program that allowed me to run the game WITH SLi enabled. Im using Vista x64 Nvidia driver version 174.74 beta and nHancer 2.4.0 beta 7 It should work with older versions. Workaround 1) Go to http://www.nhancer.com/ and download the latest build for your OS, I'm using the 64 bit version. This nice program allows you to get at settings you can't normally access through the Nvidia control panel. 2) Install nHancer and then start the program. 3) Go to the Options menu and click on the last item ( allow override of predefined settings), make sure its checked and enabled 4) Unser the settings box make sure the profile radio button is checked. 5)In the Profiles window scroll down to "Lock on" and select it. Below that there is a checkmark for "Profile can be activated manually" check that box. 6) Select the "SLI MODE" tab and select Alternate Frame Rendering from the dropdown box. There is a checkbox for Lock On under the COmpatibility flags. By default on my system it isnt selected but it may be of interest. It doesnt seem to do anything to the game with it checked or unchecked. 7) Click on the enhancements tab on the right side of the window, put a check in for Anti-Aliasing, underneath that select the SLI radio button and the SLI 32xQ ( You can use lower settings here but it doesnt really affect performance) and put a check next to the Super- Transparency AA. 8) Close the window you are done. Right click the nHancer icon in your system tray ( lower right side on your taskbar) and go to the Activate Profile item, select the Lock on profile. 9) Run the Game as normal. You will have to manually select the profile each time before you load the game but it beats having to switch SLI on and off. Basically we are using the SLI AA to fix the problem and make the game look way better. You wont see a big FPS improvement but you wont have any jaggies in the game and the clouds and MFD will now render correctly with SLI on. I get about 22-30 FPS in the game with all settings on High, the highest water setting and All planar shadows.

  3. GTengineer, while I agree with your overall feeling on this (I like sharing and being helpful and I don't like the notion of squads cloistering away information), you're going about this all wrong. I don't really care what you do, but people here don't appreciate that type of attitude whether you have a legitimate point or not. @Peyoteros Geez man, he was just asking for some tips! It wasn't so long ago that I was new and had NO idea what I was supposed to do. Flight sim manuals are great at explaining button-pushing but give you jack squat about the basics of ACM. A simple chapter on F-pole and A-pole would go a long way and its something I hope to see in the coming DCS modules. Without nice people on forums and websites like Ironhand's I would have been lost for a long time. I can understand your point of view too, actually. You want to play your squad's tactics close to the vest. I don't think he wants to know how you guys work, he just wants the basics. :) I've seen people banned on forums because things like this and I've also seen people get the wrong idea about communities because of things like this. They're asking perfectly normal questions, someone provokes them into getting defensive, they come on heavy handed and say some things they probably shouldn't and BOOM...banned or they pull a "screw you guys, I'm going home!" like Eric Cartman. Its unfortunate because the person who provokes them usually knows to keep their cool and they get to stick around.

  4. Here's more of that Mi-24 gun pod. Anyone have info on it? Is that one 12.7mm and two 7.62mm? And does all guns fire at once? Not many photos of it. Is it in service? By who? Widespread usage?

  8. Ka-50 Pitbuild Update 02 august 2008 - Finishing the Desk CnC Router It's just to warm to do anything inside these days, so I have finished the Proxxon CnC rebuild mechanics. I now I'm going to wait for a rainy day, and build the Stepper controller kit I got from HobbyCnC. Steppers are in house, and the Z-axis anti backlash nut design I really haven't decided on yet.. Cya..

  10. Red, I always actually fly as realistically as possible. Like I said I don't use external views, padlock, labels or anything like that. I also don't make it my goal to go up and kick arse. Whenever I take to the air my main goal is to make it back alive in one piece. I absolutely hate ejecting, I would take 5 missions with zero kills making it back safe, than 1 missions with 20 kills and having to eject. I get a kick of doing things the "right" way, not the game way :)
