reboots are usually caused by bad drivers. That's why I stick to only the official ones from nvidia. Beta drivers can be good but mostly bad for you.

In the initial story there were talking about thick overcast, so maybe that's where the improvement is

Anyone know what's with the weird driver versions? On the nvidia site is shows 71.89(april 4, 05) but the 76.44 I got on 3dguru is march 30,2005

There is a lot of voodoo involved in these driver updates. Sometimes when I check the readme for the driver you only see updates or changes for newer highend graphics cards and nothing for the older ones. So continously installing these updates could result in no changes at all.

So.. after you build the unit how do you get the video from the PC to the projector? By directly connecting the LCD to the video card?

There were announced a month ago but only avail for purchase maybe a day or two. Too bad AMD is going the intel way when it comes to pricing. Now that they are on top their prices are going higher. I heard the amd DC is almost 2x as expensive as an Intel DC (although the AMD dc seems to bench better)

whipped up something in photoshop and blew up some poor m2s :)

Is there a doc or info somewhere adding skins to the game from scratch (I'm talking how to do it manually, not using loman)

Of course ECM isn't a magic weapon against SAMs in the game but if you're carrying anti-radar weapons they'll get you close enough to fire them off without getting creamed :)

You know of this thing called ECM right? And if you're in the mountains you can use terrain for cover

The thing about the moscow or any above that is you need to fly in packs to defeat it and have antiship missiles that out range it. Only the su33 and su25TM have that capability. Another mystery is why we didn't get the Su25TM which has more naval options than the weak su25T which is only useful against a rezky or below. Other than the weapons they carry there isn't a lot of difference between the 25T and 25TM is there? At least the FM should be the same. Also adding a variety of support aircaft that aren't figters or bombers would be nice. The russians have a standoff jammer type AC like the s3b don't they?

Hey this is an interesting mission. As soon as I took off I gained altitude as much as I could, about 6k compared to the 2k there were at. Just before I got LA, I overrode it and fired, I fired a second r27 which scored the hit. My wingman shot down the other plane and then I got hit by an aim7 from the second f4e. edit: I can survive now but my wingman does all the killing! lol. I feel bad having the AI bail me out :) http://www.verbalass.com/mig_vs_f4.trk http://www.verbalass.com/mig_vs_f4_2.trk

if you have 512 megs you'll experience considerable stuttering compared to 1 gig of ram. After I upgraded to a gig the missions load in under a minute and I get almost no stuttering in external views

It was a serious question not a flamebait. I mean it would be cool if you could link the UAV video to your mfd in one of the planes but that's unrealistic. You could fly it yourself but to what end? It looks cool and all but I'm curious how such a tool would be used in the game.

looks nice but how useful would it be in the sim?

because every additional plane is a potential lomac addon :)

before lomac I had no need for hotas, even in sims with far more buttons and clicking and complex launch procedures like falcon4 and janes f-18, I dunno maybe it's just the way american planes are designed :) I can't play lockon without hotas but it's safe to say that whatever system you use, using it effectively makes you the better pilot.

I believe the 25T is an upgrade for the 25, not an entirely new plane from scratch. So in that sense it's amazing what they did with the frame and engines they had to work with

It's heavy and slow because you're landing with full fuel, you can pratice with low fuel and then increase the challenge by adding more fuel. My observations are that is slows down really fast when you're heavy which makes the touch down at the right speed and time more difficult but doable. If you want a real challenge, do it with full fuel at night on the carrier :)

if you're going far >100KM it's best to add fuel tanks. < 100KM I usually don't but you should always keep track of the guage. at 1000 or less you probably need to start heading home depending on how far you are from base.

I've seen it once before, after I took off I looked back and there it was, the original bug (I don't have tekatekas fix installed)

it won't show when you are on the runway

if you turn all your settings to high you get no popups, but fly over a city and you'll regret doing that

but the fulcrum is not the flanker

not all damaged gears collapse. Some can look quite normal and taxi around with until you take a closer look. also landing with a weapons load is a little tricker than an empty one. It is a nice AFM indeed :)
