I worked on a separated gauge-view also but i stucked so thanks for this one. Looks ways better than my little try. Keep going, it's a beautiful tool for us!!!

HTML/CSS is a really good combination ;) Back to the site :smilewink:: We host the site at a vserver at the moment with 25GB space and 2000GB traffic. If that isnt enough over the time I think that we change to a full root-server to have better hands on improvements and more speed (no sharing of memory/cpu and so on) and of course more traffic. But for the first startup I think 2000GB traffic are a good start....I hope so ;) At the moment I implement the picture-gallery, the soundplayer and reworkin' some codes to run faster. New tunings like Zend Optimizer, a memory system and some more little speedups for PHP are also at work. If all works and there are no additional problems the site goes online before end of month...as I said...no long waitings ;) Get prepared...chill out...and stay tuned ;) But one thing I have to say at last. The site and all on it nothing have to do with the vJaBoG32. I know, my name here sounds like I'm always a member of the squad but thats not correct. I'm only a honorary member of them, no active pilot. Ok, I only want to avoid missunderstandings ;) Greetz from good ol' germany Viper ;)

Thx aaron886....reworkin' the design used lots of zigarettes and cans of coffee....and many nights of work ;) Mostly work behind the scenes at the moment, workin on the site-system itself. Thats the reason why nothings special from me is at the downloads by now. But be sure, there will be downloads and documents from me too, specially the Dedicated-Server-How-To (which is only in german at the moment). This doc gets translated as next to make it public for the english-speaking community also. Beside my docs there will be stuff like 3D-works, models for 3ds max, How-To's for propellerheads reason, own music and so on. As u can see...the website gets all kind of artists stuff ;) Movies, pictures, sounds, documents.....hehe... But i think, most exceptional works are from Amraam. He's really one of the best movie-producer i ever know. Damn...he make movies out of a simple game and create blockbusters ;) I'm proud to have him as a partner at the site. Ok boys (and maybe girls)....get prepared ;) No long waitings...just a few days to go...........hehe [Edit:] @rogue_blade: It's only HTML/CSS. No need for flashing. Flash makes sites to big hehe...don't want that user with slower connections have to wait for hours only to see the site...lol

Amraam..u forget to hide the administration ;) I can't wait too, I'm workin' at all the little things to make it better....full release isn't far away boys.... ;) Greetz from good ol' germany Viper

I saw, that the F-111 is listed within the meinit.xml with all entrys but w/o the entry for the shape. Is that only based on not enough time to model it out? Plz ED, gimme a answer 'cause I'm a little confused 'bout this F-111-entry ;)

I'm pleased to hear, that the Mirror works fine. Tooks long, lonely, annoying nights with lots of coffee and cigarettes to get the FTP as fast as possible. Hope that all desires will be satisfied ;) I wish u all a happy leechin' :icon_supe

I wish all pilots and squadrons a peacfully and merry christmas and a happy new year. Lot of thanks to ED to make our lifes richer with their work. Likewise i thank all that people who serve the community with their knowledge, their work and i hope the community grows more and more. With the best wishes for the new year, sincerely your JaBoG32_Viper

Thats also my opinion. There's no reason to make such a big hunt for only a few cheaters. Better to focus u'r energy to that pilots who are serve the community instead of wasting time for such a normal thing. Have u ever heard, that there's a community without any cheaters? Even if they are playin flightsims, ego-shooters, racing-sims or whatever....if there's a way to cheat than there are also cheaters. We have to life withit till there's a way to prevent that or we have to stop playin. And sorry guys....blaming pilots (even if they are cheating or not) an a way like this doesnt help the community at all. Some newbies see, that there's a cheating-tool (and by the hell...nearly every site around here has it at the download-section, or?) and they gonna go to use it. Thats freaky normal. Yes, Rumble isn't a newbie, he's one of the best teammate i ever had but i can understand his reason to cheat a little. Sometimes it's really frustrating only to fly with all that restrictions, follow all the rules and leave the fun behind this. This breakouts were his way to keep the fun on this game for him. I spend so much time workin on our dedi...see lot's of pilots around on the dedi, some of them with cheated loadouts too....and there are some mates of other great squads that cheat... I never thought of taking screenies of them or publish it...my way is to speak with them...most of them never used cheated loadouts again on our server. There are only 2 guys that i had to kick out of the server all that time the server now runs. So please...focus u'r energy to more important things, serve the community with new skins, new documents, new tactics or whatever. Ugh....im finished P.S.: This is only my opinion...not that of all JaBoG's. Please dont forget that!

Uhm... i think, fixed loadouts will make it hard for cheater. Classify the mission, set realistic loadouts before and than a cheater wont get the chance to select his cheated loadout anymore. If u dont do this, u have to life with this problem as every other community. The best way to let cheaters stay away from servers is to make it as hard as possible to cheat. And classifying a mission is the first way for that. IMHO

Tried with a fresh install? Maybe that one of the mods geting u in this trouble? Try a fresh install, look if everything works, than install mod after mod with an eye to the settings after every installed mod. I think that not all of the mods are really tested under 1.11.

I hope that the Downloads from our JaBoG32-Server are fast enough for all. Thanks from me to ED too for this excellent Patch. Now i can play with high Skin-Settings on my little Laptop and it works really good. Good work boys, i hope that the 1.2 will even as good as this one. Better frames, good updates and now really hard work for us bombers to get the sams down, but thats not a bad thing ;) I'm proud to serve such a good company with the mirror and I'm proud too that I'm a part of this great community... Keep workin ED....amazing work from amazing people :cool: Even if a missile fail...let's have some ale :icon_jook

Hi BearF, if u want u can link http://www.virtual-jabog32.de Biggest german lomac-squad ;) Greetz from good old germany JaBoG32_Viper

Uhm..i dont get any ICQ-Messages

Ok, ok ;) I have to say, that i've setup the server before 1.1 and i dont try these settings yet. I try out your settings. Maybe I surveyed thos setting cause it it's new with 1.1. Thanks for the information.

If I have the choice to have unlimited replacements for 30 euros more, I buy this. But it doesnt make sense to buy a game with copyprotection if theres no support for manifestations of wear (i hope thats the right term for it)

frames below 25 maybe buggy...i dont know why but i see somtimes, that, if frames on server below 25, theres a warp/lag-problem.

Setting up a good server isnt as hard as it sounds. First u have to take a look at the servers hardware and connection. The server should have at least a midrange-graphiccard, not an onboard. For big missions or multiplayer-sessions with more that 20 player it's recommended to use a 100MBit-server. I dont know the prices for that in non-german countries, but with a couple of pilots who pay for it should be realizable. Important thing is a good remote-desktop-tool. We use VNC and it works very good. With this little and free tool u have the possibility to admin the server like u r sitting in front of it. Second u have to be sure, that the server is safe enough (firewall + virusscanner) and only the ports u need are open. Than u have to buy a legal copy of FC for the server (prefer the download version cause so u dont have the cd in the drive) and install it like on ur local pc. Install Hyperlobby, same as local. Go into lomac, set down all graphic-setting to low (only environment should be on mid, so u can see trees and houses) A good reason is to start lomac in window-mode. U have to go into config->graphics.cfg and change some lines: DisplayMode { resolution = {640, 480}; bpp = 16; fullscreen = 0; aspect = 1.333333373; Interface { resolution = {640, 480}; bpp = 16; fullscreen = 0; aspect = 1.333333373; } Simulation { resolution = {640, 480}; bpp = 16; fullscreen = 0; aspect = 1.333333373; } If u want bigger resolutions u can do, but these settings works very good with little losses. U can kick player, chat, look how good are the frames and so on. These settings keeps the frames good and u can work multitasking. Btw. turn off reflections and mirrors and set sounds to lowest, u dont need it on the server. Every setting that goes to min get the frames higher and dont have the worked by cpu or connection. With these settings on our server (http://www.virtual-jabog32.de ) we had some sessions with over 40 pilots.

Uhm..talking 'bout copys is a two-sided sword. I use my FC-CD every day, put it out of the drive, put it into the drive, over and over again. I think, in that way the CD will get scratched more and more over the month and someday it wouldn't work anymore. Thats the reason, why i prefer a use of a copy of the original. If the copy get scratched or it wont work, i have the original for making a new copy. I can understand, why the companies use copy-protection and thats ok, but what happends, if my original cd gets broken? Can i get a new one for free if i send in my broken? Dont missunderstand me, I never try to crack the SF but i wanna know, what happens if my cd doesnt work anymore in cause of scratches or something like that. The ones, who crack the protection cause he dont wanna buy the cd, should be kicked out of the community. Only buying the game gives the company enough money to work on the games over the next years.

If u wanna render a movie with full-ultra-settings than buy some new hardware ;) Fastest CPU, 2GB DDR3-RAM, SATAII-RAID0 with 4 very fast HDDs, newest graphics with SLI, than turn all settings to high and try it with Fraps ;) But u will see, even with a such high-end-systems...the frames will go down over big ground-battles with a lot of explosions. I try it with a very good system of a friend and it seems that the machine, which can handle lomac with highest settings, isnt on the market yet....;) Maybe we can play with 100 frames on highest settings within the next 2 years ;) Till that use internal renderer, full settings and till the time u wait, drink a lot of coffee, make your girlfriend happy and if it's a very long movie, make some kids. U have time enough to teach them all and send them to the college ;) I spend so much time to render small clips (below 1 minute) that i cant say, how many hours it was. Rendering with 1fps, 60sec.-clips, let me think, 60secx25frames=1500 seconds rendertime for just 1 minute. Good vids have about 10-15minutes, that are 375minutes rendertime. My god...i render faster with high settings, much reflections/refractions and global illumination on my 3D-Max. What the hell is the bottleneck of the lomac-renderer???

I heard rumors that after 1.2 the lock-on-series will be end and a new sim will be developed. Are there any informations 'bout which kind this will be and which planes will be flyable? Maybe the community can help with new models ;) Btw. I'm very impatiently to play high-level-flightsims and i hope, every new games from ED will be better than the last one ;)

Till Patricks Site goes up again (i hope so) i wanna open a big aviation-movie-archive on my server. I need ur help to grow it as fast as possible. If anyone of u have good videos, please send me a pn or write me a >mail< The pilot, who sends me the most videos will get a free webspace with 500mb, php, mysql from me, so hurry up ;)

Hehe, did he think, the server runs on 56k? Lol Yes, the upload is the problem, but with the help of u and my boys i can handle it. I think, it will be great to have the vids again on one point. And btw. i dont get any donates for my server. Pay it from my own private budget to serve the community.

Uhm...i get my new server next week, around 50GB free space and over 2000GB traffic, and i search for good vids for it (new lomac-site) Maybe i can host much of them if someone helps me to upload it ( i have only 56k at the mom) So the vids wont get lost.

Btw. i play it online with middle settings, offline with full effects and high textures and i have ~15-20 fps than. Maybe the CPU is the point that it works (AMD 64Bit 3200) Yeah it works good and I'm a freak. If theres something, that seems not to work, I try everything to get it workin and most of the times i can make it. Alpha-channel..hmm..sounds that this could the point. I look at the textures and see if i can correct it. Thanks Viper

Btw. i have a problem like that too, but not with ground-objects, just with the KI-f18. All the other planes look ok, but the f18 is transparent (look like the ground-objects in the screenie) I dont think, that this based on my grpahiccard (GF 4 MX 440 Go on a laptop) cause all the other models are quiet correct.
