Bump!! :)

Also remember Slamelov that you'll only get anything recorded if on the mission you either ejected or landed; in other words if you managed to shoot fown 5 aircraft and destroyed 3 tanks, and you just click on "Quit" when you press escape, you'll lose everything for that mission, remember either eject (not the best choice) or land and THEN you'll get all the credit for what happened on the mission. Hopes this clarifies slome of the confution. Take care

Hi guys, i posted this on another thread recently leading with the same issue: "Well i have had this problem for a long while and realized it is a driver situation, i have my haze in "basic" and still get it, it only happens when a ship is moving, try building a mission with stopped ships and you'll get all the shadows, now modify it so that only one of them is moving (not matter if it is only at 1 kt.), boom!, your shadows are gone (it wouldn't be that bad if only the shadows were gone, but you also get this dark, flat, unlit look to the ships that makes it unbereable to look at). I know is the driver because i noticed it the first time it happened, the 5x.xx series driver does not have this problem, but they are too slow for my 6800gt. By the way, i've tried this on 3 different computers with different configurations and as long as i used one of the newer drivers (or had a ship moving) they were no shadows. I want to thank you MIG-MAG for bringing this up, i've tried before but i didn't know how to post screenshots here in the forum, now that Chizh has seen it maybe they can fix this. I agree it's extremely annoying, to the point that i try not to make any ships move on missions just to avoid this problem, the only way i've seen that works is by turning off shadows completely, that works (gives you higher FPS too, but it looks bad) but i want my shadows!!!!. So ED could you help us with this, it seems that the Nvidia cards are the only ones affected. Again it only happens when a ship is moving, it happens regardless of AA and Anitrosopic (spelling) filtering setting, sometimes the no shadow thing transfers to weapons in flight and planes, it makes not want to use the ships , that's how ugly it looks, the screenshots of MIG-MAG look good in comparison to how it realy looks in a real monitor, it's horrible. Please help us ED!!, we count on you guys!!. Thanks Chizh and MIG-MAG for bringin up thsi matter " Hope this helps, i also hope that someone at either Nvidia or ED caan solcve this, it's really annoying.

I just realized that the Magnetic compass on the F-15 is totaly off, i found out, while trying to navigate back to base with a malfunctioning HUD, it's about 90 degrees off the actual heading of the aircraft; has anyone else noticed this? EDIT: forgot to mention this is on 1.1 FC

Britglider, how are you?, well i had the same problem and contacted ED about it; they tried to help me, but nothing was fixed, they tried though. The reason is your water, when the water is set higher than "Medium" AND the clouds are set to 8 or higher it will crash to the desktop. It took me awhile to figure it out, but now i donj't have the problem anymore, just medium water. Just set your water to medium and you'll never have the problem again. Hope this helps :D

Hey juan_mol it worked, you were right, another showing that this sim's attention to detail is superb!!!! :D thanks for the help guys :D

Yeah the key is "V" but when you physicaly select "one pylon" it still just drops 2 not one as it is supposed to, that's my question, in the SU-25 you CAN do it, but not on the SU-25T, the problem is sometimes you just need one to do the job, that way you could save the other ones for other targets.

When you try to do a level flight bombing run (CCRP) on the Su-25T you CAN"t select only one bomb, the minimun is 2, but the training mission specifically says that you can select only one pylon, but on the Su-25T you can't. This however works beautifully on the normal SU-25, has anyone seen this or am I doing something wrong? Thanks guys for the help; great forum by the way :D

As soon as i posted this i went and looked at the shot and clicked properties, it said it was an AGM-10 which i was almost positive it was wrong. Thanks for the heads up D, if this is what 1.2 is going to bring, then i'm already sold :) :) :D

Hi guys, there are a couple of new screenshots on the lockon.ru site and they show an F/A-18C with some GBU laser guided bomb, can anyone tell me which one is it, and also how do i get those hi-res models?, i only have the low res ones. If anyone could answer this it would be appreciated. :)

Just wondering, i have the dowloaded version, but really wanted a physical CD, so I went ahead and bought the CD as well (THEN i saw the utility, but still, the 40% hardware thing). I just tought that with the CD i can ALWAYS play FC without worrying too much about if the companies are still in business. So just out of curiosity, how many that already have the download version are going to buy FC on cd? :cool:

well, it seems that the problem is actually only with the original Mig-29S campaing, not the new one. I've tried 3 different campaings (su-25, su-27 and su-25t) and they all save properly except the one for the mig :icon_evil

Can anyone help me, everytime i pass a mission i hit the floppy (save icon) icon to save my campaing just like i did in 1.02, but when i come back to continue, my campaing starts from the first mission again. Can anyone help me, am i doing something wrong :(

Hi merlin, yeah i forgot to say that i tried 4 different set of drivers to no avail, i've isolated the problem to when i change my graphic options; i've tried changing one by one and it seems to work, but all of the sudden i can't put any clouds higer than setting 9 or CTD, i don't know whta to do man since most of my flying was done in bad weather :icon_evil

I've tried everything, even used two activations trying to reinstal and fix this problem. even redownloaded the seasons package to see if that was the problem. Well the problem is, everytime i try to play with an overcast layer i get a crash to desktop. Anyone else have this problem? I got a Geforce 6800GT with 76.44 drivers, an AMD athlon XP 2800 and 1.5 gigs of RAM. Anyone has any clue how to fix this? Thanks guys :(

me too, because that was the ONLY concern i've ever had about FC, how long am I going to be able to play this in the future. Thanks for the help :D

Thanks Dmut, that's all we wanted to hear that ED wasn't deserting us, now i can go back and fly a little bit until monday:) Thanks buddy :D

No reply yet, it's getting really annoying this silence thing from ED.:(

Hi ED, people are going crazy here about those activations (myself included since i only got 2 left for a game i bought two days ago :icon_evil), just come out and specify what is going to be the procedure, it's ridicoulous that i have to be "careful with MY installation, just because i could lose an activation. Remember ED we are the ones supporting you, not the pirates, so please just take a second and help us out here. :icon_evil

I sent this email to ED today: how are you guys, i purchased FC 1.1 yesterday after about 3 months of daily torture waiting for it, but now i have a problem, whenever i installed your season's package AND tried to play a mission with an overcast sky, the game would crash to the desktop. Also the biggest problem is that the only way to fix this is by re-installing the game. I was one of the guys that beleived in you in the forums when everybody else was complaining about SF being in the game, so i was ready to buy as soon as FC became available. I'm extremely dissapointed in the fact that you guys said that we could install the game as many times as we wanted and not worry about the number of activations (the famous 40% was the deal right?), well; since purchasing the game i've installed 2 times (both times because of the season's package), and both times i have had to use one of my installs (remember that i BOUGHT the game YESTERDAY). Now i don't know how this happened (and yes i used the automatic AND the manual, which supposedly wasn't going to cost me an activation key, but it did), but I need to know was is going to happen with this situation, I was promised something in exchange for my money, i PAID you guys but i didn't get what you said I was going to get. I'm not the only one whit this problem, otherguys at the forums have had the same situation happen to them. Also currently the game is uninstalled from my machine because of graphical glitches that came about a bad install the last time, so here i go again with another activation , that's going to be my third in TWO days. So, please ED let me know what can i do about this situation and also what's going to happen when i reach my fourth one, do i have to pay you guys again, i don't beleive that would be fair to me since i decided to support you guys by PAYING for your software. Please help me and the community and clarify this ED, we as a community would like to continue to support you guys, but under these circumstances, we just can't. Thanks beforehand for any help about this matter Cordially, your Customer

the problem was the seasons package, but it took me 2 installs and 2 activation keys to get to it :icon_evil

Whenever i try to select a mission with an overcast layer in it the game crashes to the desktop, any idea guys? Thanks:icon_frow

I just reinstalled FC 1.1 because of a problem with the overcast layers and it didn't ask me to re-activate (i didn't uninstall Lock on first though), so i don't know what's up with this situation. I beleive ED should just come out and say "this is how it's going to be" period; it'll settle a lot of minds about FC and any further projects they (ED) can come up with. Myself i'm just worried that they are going to come out with some weird policy about having to repay for antoher activation key when your 4 are up. yeah i know "they haven't said that you have to pay for another key", yes, but they haven't denied either and i bet you there is an ED guy just reading these forums 24/7 and they KNOW how worried people are, yet they don't come out and clarify anything (i can't beleive they don't know about this issue on people's minds). ED we are your friends remember, the ones that PAID YOU for the sim, so please helps us around here, ok? Thanks :icon_frow
