Thanks Gary, the purchase went through smoothly now.

thanks, I've sent you a pm.

crazysundog gave me 2 RUB, but this is silly apparently there's a 0,8% fee on payments, currently have 301,53 but i need 300 * 1,008 = 302,4

Does anyone have 0,5 ruble to spare? :) I got a 100SEK ~ 340RUB Ukash voucher, they come in 100, 250, 500 .. here. And I ended up with 299,56 RUB after all the rates.. btw, this is a good service to find Ukash http://customer.map24.com/ukash/ I got it in a small tobacco store, they told me they didn't have it and didn't know what it was. After I told them they should have it according to the website they found out that they did.

Arcade, but at least the models looks alright and it's probably the first time JAS 39, Rafale and EF-2000 are featured in a game :)

You have it in flight simulator, you can move the twist handle with the mouse if it's unassigned to change the throttle. The throttle axis controls the collective (rotor blade AoA).

This is what he was talking about, "In 1966 a well-known Soviet mathematician, Pyotr Ufimtsev, published a paper in which he described mathematical methods to predict RCS of two-dimensional objects. Ufimtsev's work was directly used by Lockheed's mathematician, Denys Overholser, to develop computer software known as "Echo 1", which could calculate the RCS of an aircraft constructed of flat panels. This program was used to find the optimum geometry to minimize an aircraft's RCS. The resulting structure became known as "Hopeless Diamond", which lies in the basis of F-117A's external construction."

It's the Vista driver, however I see now that you need a work around to install this for the Go series http://www.laptopvideo2go.com

Install Forceware v101.41 (beta), it solved those problems here. If you get dark aircrafts with a jagged white outline, it's another known Forceware problem that appears when you use full shadows. Unfortunately there's no fix for this yet, unless your card is old enough and you're running XP, then you can roll back to an older forceware driver that doesn't have this problem. Enjoy your new nvidia card :)

Is there anyone else with this config, Vista + Nvidia 8800?

Yeah 101.41 solved the clipping glitches which is nice, the glitches with full shadows on is still there tho.

IIRC in my tests in 1.11 the R-77 had a turn radius somewhere in between the R-73 and the AIM-120.

Thanks for your input on this issue. I'm running Vista and haven't noticed what it does for swapping, but it's probably Vista + 8800gts that causes this. Unfortunately I have worse problems than FPS drops. The game hangs (not responding) on load randomly, in a similar fashion that Arma did. Are there any error logs you can look at?

His work on Red Alert 2 in the 1800 clearly shows he was ahead of his time :)

Arma 1.05 was crashing randomly because of a memory leak (related to the 8800). Running the exe with the -maxmem=512 flag solved it. So it seems possible that this what's causing the random crashes in Lock On to, is there a maxmem flag?

Not in the thread with the news that hell froze over. eh eh

> then the electronics stopped working did he depend on steam gauges to get home?

Count on that I do ;)

Rafale?

Apparently a Nascar driver

Sorry ;) It's like stock advice, you can't get it from those who know, but an educated guess can be of great value. Thanks for your input everyone.

I posted by misstake when i was going to preview, now it should be more clear Groove :)
