Visual effects? Or FM?

I agree with Asterix, you dont need to have the very latest drives if they dont work so well with your system. Find something that works well and use that.

When writing 504 server breifings I have used the phrase "waypoint two is common to all units on either side". I imagine this could be misleading to some but to clarify: Waypoint 2 of one side is common to all the units of that side. Waypoint 2 of the other side is common to all the units of that side. On a related note, I never expect people to follow my waypoints blindly. They are points of interest and require noting from the breifing. many times people will follow all the waypoints, making it very easy for an enemy interceptor to find them. This is why they do not give a specific route, if it did, and you stuck to it, you would die. How far do you want to fly? In order to use varied environments existing in the lomac terrain sometimes you have to go further than others. The big shame is that airfields cannot be placed. Also I suggest flying at 400+ kmph ;). I agree 100km is too far, 60 km is comfortable in my opinion. Thanks guys - any feedback on the mission in rotation is greatly appreciated either here on on the 504 forum :p

Try setting your task to something different.

You might get annoyed with your wingmen taxi-ing at 10kmph on a parked start, thats why I use runway sometimes.

For what its worth, I have half the RAM you have and an older Nvidia card and dont get this as badly as you. Odd! Normal fps is in the region of 20. Of course, I avoid strafing for the reason you are outlining so maybe thats why I dont suffer much. :)

Correct. It is a nightmare. Also all Russian missiles leave smoke trails so keep your eyes peeled when you are at that range. Do some simple manuevering, HOJ shots are long range by nature and easily defeated if you assume they are on their way. Personally I dont use ECM much, usually only when bugging out, or desperate.

ROTFL :icon_jook :rolleyes:

How low does it drop (FPS?) Mine drops 'significantly' but hey, theres loads of stuff flying up from the floor.

Fair enough! Looking forward to it.

Why are you modelling that version?

There is one (config.lua), but it is generally relaxed to avoid pinging out during loading.

I guess people use third party software like irfanview and fraps to grab higher res images.

Stil working out what we can and can't do.

Its a campaign where the outcome of each mission impacts the nature of the next, and affects the campaign as a whole. So if something gets blown up in a mission, it's still toast later (already happens in lo camps) and also there will be less resources if you fail a mission etc. Instead of going from one set mission until you have succeeded, to the next.

I heard that setting higher water levels decreases fps even if there is no water is around. Therefore I imagine that it is rendered (or processed at least to some extent) all over the map.

Ive always had it repaired. Perhaps you are starting engines back up too early?

Are they set to 'on-road'?

It never went into commision AFAIK, so it wont be back. If you want to fire one, one of the training missions has them still in FC.

Ive always suspected that because there is a delay when someone puts ecm on (on your scope) between the display of contact and display of strobes, that people rapidly press 'e' and vanish becoming unlockable. Or I may just lose em to the beam and scanning the wrong altitude.

Get Hyperlobby, it will do the rest for you.

I should think that when it goes active it will be through burnthough range and thus you will get a warning Good man. :D

You know if you lock him, note the alt, and then he jams. A jamming target does not necessarily know you have launched at it, otherwise HOJ would be pretty useless. If you launch and crank immediately, however, to a human opponent it is fairly obvious you have HOJ'ed, but sometimes they think you are going defensive on someone elses shot and as you put it, 'fly right into it'. I only use it at over 7000km, when there are two/three lights left on berozya from the enemy radar, just before burnthru.

You havent seen this or this evidently :rolleyes: Noo!! Take it away!! We surrender!

Precisely, and can we disable this without disabling the other messages (i.e kills)?
