TOPIC: I'm a beginner. Can any one teach me avoid missile:music_whistling::megalol:

it's a big ass sky, it's amuzing how two pilots can manage to colide in it. (they probably watched TopGun one too many times)

-Both companie's drivers are multi-threaded. -No idea, but I dont see performance difference either way. -BS SMP aware? NO..

I see, didnt know vent was payware of sorts. I dont see why there should be a recurring payment when you are hosting your own app for more than 8 clients. Or am I wrong? if you host your own app, is it free for more? Either way, TS is just fine, although the delays are a bit nanoying sometimes.

Just asking, because... From what I hear Ventrillo offers a higher quality of voice output, for less bandwidth used. Supposedly, less audio delay as well? Im not an expert with either app, but I keep hearing how Ventrillo is supposedly better, and I see everyone associated with lockon using TS. Is Ventrillo better, and is everyone just used to TS? Anyway, what do you guys think.. :pilotfly:

blackshark has starforce, so get over it and play :)

yup, USB. If there is any way to use ethernet, you'd be better off. (its also more reliable, and there's less latency). but if the only thing available is USB, it'll do. (make sure to turn off the USB power saving feature in device manager)

Hey Gunja, Hows everything going man? I see you got some kind of net access, check your PM's

:thumbup::megalol:

awesome man, great job :D the poor host is going to suffer (EDIT: cool, 2GB free hosting, sweet)

This pic is of one of those quick maneuver drills. I dont have the details, but I remember a lot of info was available on this a while back.

-DX9 games WILL run on VISTA (via DX9L) -Correct, not for now. (nothing is set in stone yet) -Aren't you contradicting your earlier point? -Not necessarily. Many games are coded with different render paths (like DX9, DX8 and DX7, etc) Some will be made to run ONLY on vista though. Cheers.

"Steve, are you with me?" ROFL...

2gigs remove the stutter from lockon. The other thing that you will notice is that when you quit the game, its instantaneous. you dont have to wait. it definitelly does help, its up to you. More ram never hurts, specially looking at your system specs you have a strong CPU and GPU, so now give it more ram, you wont regreet it ;) XP Pro and other games will really benefit from this, as well as apps like photoshop and video editing.

I'll make it even better, use this guys: http://warfare.ru/video/2006/1143-5_3.wmv (right click and save target as) :D

Thanks, didnt see that in the release.. a tad expensive it seems, I thought they'd be under $100, August? bah..

its only a 4Ghz speed? I dont see whats the big deal.. Wait for conroe and AMD's answer to it if you want a decent jump/.

when are these supposed to launch, and what price? they should go along my blue disco light X52 quite well :D

beause its not the same thing. The game has to be specificlaly coded for it to take advantage of dual cores. its just the way it works :) That said, there are rumours of a new AMD tech, that will maybe use several cores to emulate a super core.

SLI does not have to be coded into the game. SLI works appart from the game, it basically divides the workload by splitting the screen between the cards available (2 or 4) Some games do recognize both GPU's though, while some don't know the difference. The reason LockON does not see any benefit from it, is that its heavily CPU limited. So your GPU has a ton of resources left, but your game is being chocked by your CPU. The faster CPU, the better gameplay you'll experience. Thats the reason you can turn AA and AF all the way up and suffer almost 0% impact in frame rate with a powerful enough GPU. PS: if you have SLI and play lock on, use SLIAA, its the best you can get out of SLI in this particular game.

it plays fine for me like that :D

If I remember correctly (back in 1.1) you could not see the hoses as a client, only the server could. (thus making hud only approaches the only choise) I didnt try much after that.

I always wanted air refueling, it just sounds great for missions. ED always states (or forumers) that its too difficult due to the network being unpredictable. couldn't they just make it so that the clients saw the hoses, and they simply would send a signal to the server about a succesful hookup? PS: I also don't like auto pilot for refueling, I like doing it myself.

LockON is CPU bottlenecked if you already have a decent GPU, a new one will not benefit you that much. (As for other GPU limited games, it would really benefit you, just not LockOn) Remember, all the above is based on you having a decent GPU already, X600 isn't extremely powerful, so a new card should give somewhat of an improvement, at least the capaility to run more effects on and AA or AF... That is.. If your CPU is fast enough to feed the new GPU, it's all a vicious circle ;)

And on the carrier none the less ;)
