Well I wiggled the cables to my primary and touch screen and it didn't help. So, I unplugged them and swapped them to see if it was the monitor. But they both looked ok. But on the small touch screen I didn't think you could see it that much if it was still doing it. So, I swapped them back and they both look fine now. It might have been the cables, or the board felt like it moved when I wiggled the cables. But I was getting those jiggly waves like you see when you watch a pc monitor on a tv screen. Where you can see it paint the screen. It wasn't as bad as that, but I could definitly see it. That's gone too. Maybe it was a loose cable/card. Maybe the card is going bad? While it's working I need to look for a new card. I planned on getting one someday, but better have something in mind in case this thing craps out. Any graphics card suggestions? I haven't looked at the new ones for 6-8 months, so I'm not up to date...

Sounds like a good test. But since I just restored my system from 2 weeks ago with Ghost, if it was a software problem it should be fixed I would think. I'll give that a try tomorrow. I'm done with computers for today...

No. There was an ATI - Software Uninstall Utility in my Add/Remove Programs, so I just ran that in normal boot mode. It locked up for about 10 minutes half way through, so I just ended it. There driver was removed, but then I had to uninstalled the control panel myself. Rebooted and installed the new 6.6 Catalyst.

Yes, but it didn't help. That's what is making me think it might be a hardware problem...

In the game or just in Windows. I noticed this morning that my desktop wallpaper of a Su25t looked funny. I could see lines going across the blue sky as it faded into the distance. Like my colors were set to low. So, I checked the Display Settings and the colors are on 32bit High. So, I downloaded the new 6.6 Catalyst drivers and that didn't help. So, I restored from a backup 2 weeks ago that was fine, and that didn't fix it either. I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software problem. I have no other graphics problems. Could it be the monitor? Could my ATI Radeon 9500pro/9700 have gone bad and just started only display Low Colors? I have a 8" touch screen also, and it's colors look just fine. Better than my primary display!! Any help to point me to some answers would be appriciated! The card displays everything ok, just less colors. I hope I don't need a new card.

TouchBuddy Toolkit 1.0.0 has been released for download. Get your copy here.

I have been working on an update to the TouchBuddy Toolkit and we are now in Beta Testing this weekend. Hopefully it will be out next week. New features include: ActiveX Plugin Editor Module Editor Profile Manager Custom shell out too your Graphics Editor Color & Font Picker dialogs Custom Options Editor Custom Window Editor Additional Tab Editor fields and more...Here are some sample screenshots: If you are interested in Beta Testing this weekend, please PM me for the download link. I will be out of town this weekend, so if I am not available, maybe you can contact Zorlac, RuggButt, or Dodger. (hope you don't mind guys ;))

Dodger, so do you have a F4AF profile? Or are you saying that the keystroks for Lockon are mostly the same, and your using a Lockon profile?

Dodger may be working on the site. Yesterday we were talking about improvments.

And this thread.

I also uploaded a 'patch' for TekaTeka's Lockon FC Training Videos that make it work in TB. The problem was that the videos popped up in MS MediaPlayer causing Lockon to miminize. I fixed it to play the videos in an embedded player in the wepbages so they don't cause the game to minimize. So, now you can use TekaTeka's awesome Training webpages/videos with TouchBuddy WHILE you are playing the game! Check it out HERE.

Nice post Zorlac, lot's of good info here: You can download a copy of the Toolkit Beta HERE. I should have a new version out in a few days that has a nice editor for Modules and Plugins, and also a functional Profile Manager tab. :D

When I just press V, the Ripple Interval goes up by 5 each time. ie. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25.... 00. But if I press Shift-V to go backwards, it goes 00, 16, 99, 93, 88, 83, 78, 73..... 08, 19, 99, 93, 88, 83..... 08.... This is just screwed up! It should go up and down the same, by 5's.

:sorcerer::yay::yay::yay::sorcerer:

And there is also a Track in the game (at least in my tracks folder), that has a Spit or P51 using it's wing to 'tip' the V-1's wing and throw it out of control.

:pilotfly::thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Downloading now! Thanks TekaTeka, Awesome Stuff. I was just talking about being able to watch the Tutorials on my www.Touch-Buddy.com TouchScreen while actually flying in the game! This will be great!

C'mon. That was a softball. He had to swing...

I had that when I set my Desktop to Web. To get rid of it I just turned the Web Desktop off. Rightclick on the desktop and select Properties. Select the Desktop tab. Click the Customize Desktop button at the bottom left. Click on the Web tab. Make sure nothing is checked. Edit: Ooops! I was 1 minute too late...

Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge. Say No More! A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat! SAY NO MORE! (Monty Python)

That is Awesome News! I had not heard that...

AFAIK, the V1 (that was aka the 'Buzz Bomb' right), could not hit a specific target like that V1 movie shows. It certainly couldn't hit one ship in the ocean. I thought it was just launched at London and if it hit somewhere in the city it was successful. But not a specific target. Am I wrong here???

My fav too! I wish the game were that good! Awesome!!!

I must be missing something..... Does Lockon have a 'Clickable Cockpit'???? Mine doesn't. Or is the new Ka-50 version going to have one??????

I'm sure you've probably tried this, but if you haven't: Turn off Cockpit reflections and mirrors. Turn off heat blur. Turn water way down or to medium and see how it looks.

I agree totally. In Lockon, when I destroy a tank, it smokes for about 2 minutes then it goes completely out. And the smoke is only about 100 feet high. That's just not even close to realistic. I wish I could count on the things that I destroy to improve situational awareness. The way it is now, every run I make on my targets I have to make note of my compass direction, then reverse it to go back again. I like doing this, but when coming around again it would be nice to see smoke columns rising higher and higher in the sky. Also, wish I could play with the water that PF has. I get good frame rates with it maxed out in PF. Even on Medium it looks fantastic. They made some awesome improvements in their 4.04 release, adding whitecaps in mid-seas, improved the waves crashing on beaches, and cloud reflections are great.
