I kinda dig the dorky stright forward no bullshit look of the CH fighterstick. Any comments about it here? SB

How about the CH Fighterstick? SB

Looks like I'm going to need a new stick soon as my MS FF2 seems to be dieng on me. so I need your kind advice about a new one. I don't want it to be to expensive, top of the line cutting edge stick. I'd rather have a solid not-to-complicated stick to serve me as well as my old trusty FF2. see my specs below thanx SB

bump anyone :music_whistling: SB

FPS tweak is there an FPS twaeks for FC2 like the ones we had for FC? the auther of them was Thomas D. Weiss, and they worked perfectly. as far as I know they are not compatible with FC2.

looking for the same thing Mower, cause my F-15 camapaign is fubared for some reason (can't get pass the second escort mission - always crashes at some point) so basically I don't have many options to fly the Eagle. do you know a way in which I can trick the system to think that I passed the second mission and get on with my campaign? SB

thanx viper reason I ask this is I want to gain a few FPS in A-10 missions with maverick MFD on but I don't like structures disappearing so close to me. I'm looking for the right "compromise" so to speak, between FPS and looks - the same old story I guess...

thanx. do you know what does the numbers stand for? i.e - does the 10 means that 10km/nm is the max range for buildings to be visable or what? SB

how can I change the distance in which buildings start to disappear/reappear in FC2? there must be a value for that in graphics.cfg file, but which one? thanx in advance SB

no, other missions in other campaigns ore OK. it's just this specific mission in this specific campaign and it drives me crazy...

bump bump???

Hi all I have a problem with an FC2 campaign mission - "spring blood" for the F-15. I have never managed to finish the second mission. I always crash, CTD , freez or what not - right about the the end of it. it usually starts with weird "texture flashing" of the cockpit i.e the texture disappear and reapper randomly and than after a few times the game freezes or just CTD. I tried this mission many many times but I never got to finish it- so basically I can't get ahead with this campaign. any ideas? SB

if there's a problem with full shadows on LOMAC and BS with all DX10 cards shouldn't ED do something about it? I mean - almost all the cards people use here (especially when they need newer cards to run BS amd LOMAC properly) are DX10 compatible, which means that many ,mamy people here can't run "full shadows". am I right or am I right? SB

Hi gents does anyone knows if the HD4870 GFX 1GB card have issues with "full shadows" option like the latesr nVidia cards have? I"m about to get this card and wanted to knows how it handles LOMAC/FC Thanx SB

bump... so I guess no one has found a solution for this prob? how about copying the msvcrt.dll file from Windows System32 folder and placing it instead of the original LO msvcrt.dll file? any one tried it? SB

OH, did I mention that the problems only began AFTER I changed my GFX card from a Radeon X1800XL to GF8800GT? SB

and where exectly in WINDOWS dir should the newer be? SB

HI gents. I've been having some serious problems with Black screen in FC lately. as I understood it - it'd got to do with the msvcrt.dll file in lockon. I've been trying a few solutions after a forum search but with no success: 1.addind a .txt file (or any other blank file for that matter) and renaiming it: lockon.exe.local 2. creating an empty folder in lockon dir and naming it lockon.exe.local this resulted in an error messege for missing entry point which is OK clicking OK gets you into the game but than it locksup in loadup screen with a runtime error messege - WTF? 3. copying the lockon.exe file, pasting it in lockon dir and renaiming it as Lockon.exe.local - no error messege this time - but no fix either.... 4.creating an empty folder in lockon dir and naming it lockon.exe.local, copying the msvcrt.dll file and pasting it into this folder - error messege with runtime error in loadup screen. any other fixes out there I'm not aware of? SB

care to elaborate on that? SB

Could anyone please tell me why the hell do people need procaff for? I havw a dual core CPU. Lock On runs OK on my system. no probs or crashes. what benefit will I get from running LO on a single core? (I know - the game is not optimized for Dual cores) but what performence gian would it give me? and why? I really'd like to know SB

is it possible to change your scan zone while you're locked on a target? SB

on an F-15 (and on the russian A/C too I think) I sometimes get a flashing TD box and a few seconds after that I lose lock. is there a way to avoid this? the Eagles are very quick to lose lock making it almost impossible to use F-poles and such ivasive moves. SB

Yeah I know - Vis range is a big fat concrete shoes in LOMAC. problem is I can't see myself flying without mirrors (even though I don't really use them in battle) and the hit blur is soooo pretty... more than that - in other missions I usally get fair enough frame rate, usaelly around 30+/- when in action. flying around is about 50+/-. it's just that mission, or taht city....darn! SB

Yeah still low 20' over thet friggin' city even 18-19 at times. when I'm out of it it's 40-45 all the way even 50's over sea... SB

is it normal for my FPS to drop down to the low 20' on the A-10 "Oil Terminal" mission? I usually get 33-45+ FPS on other A-10 missions with considerable amount of action going around. all my setting are maxed (only water on medium and Vis range on medium) see specs below... SB
