Thanks fellows, The D-scythe water mod does cause flickering, although it is reduced after setting the graphics settings as recommended. However, the only way to get rid of all flickering is by removing the mod. Now I've just got to tweak it out again to get playable FPS, since I play at 1600*1200 :icon_syda:icon_syda:icon_syda Chris

Hi all, I've just purchased LO:FC and patched it up to 1.12a and I'm having a blast flying the A-10. However I've got a problem with my water. My specs: Dell Inspiron XPS Gen 2 2.13 Ghz Pentium M nVidia 6800 Ultra 256MB 78.51 drivers 1GB 533Mhz RAM Windows XP I run FC with these settings: Textures: High Scenes: High Water: Medium Fog: Basic Effects: Low Lights: All Shadows: Active Planar Civilians: off Heat Blur: off Visibility Range: High (with a few tweaks) I have the latest FPS tweak for 1.12a (available on lockonfiles.com), plus a water mod called "Enhanced FPS Water Mod" by D-Scythe, plus a few other tweaks for the sun, moon, runways, clouds, etc... (All from lockonfiles.com). My problem is that my water flickers terribly. Almost looks like repetitive noise, it gets worse the farther out it goes. I tried water to very high on the default A-10 Oil Tanker mission, and the flickering was worse, and the reflections from the mountains were jumping around and looked absolutely terrible. Does anyone have any ideas how I could solve this? Thanks, Chris

Hi all, I just recently purchased Lock On: Gold (Up till now I've just been a civ and WWII junkie) and am starting to get into Lock On v 1.02 (wouldn't you know that I'd get one of the faulty discs :p) Anyway, I'm focusing on the A-10 at the moment so I'd like to get some nice hi-res skins for it. I've downloaded 8 skins from lockonfiles.com (all 24 bit .bmps) and have tried to install them. I have 18 files named a-10-okras-l*.bmp and a-10-okras-r*.bmp (replace the * with "nothing" through "8") in the Bazar/TempTextures folder. 18 because I copied one in twice. These are ordered in the same order as the default files but I'm having problems when I try and select them in the Loadout screen before a mission. Some of them are correct and in the correct slots, but others are corrupted or just not there. Can anyone walk me through installing these skins manually properly for Lock On v1.02. Also, a few of the skins that I've liked were .dds files and I put these in the Bazar/TempTextures folder as well and they didn't show up. They were also named along the lines of a-10-okras-r*.bmp.dds Thanks a lot, Chris [edit]Well, after a lot of testing I've figured the skins thing out. (Mostly!) It looks like Okras0 installs to the second slot and partially corrupts the first slot. Okras3 installs to the 5th slot and corrupts the sixth slot, and r5 goes into 8th and 9th slots, with the only difference being the addition of a shark/boar mouth in the 9th slot. Everything else is in numerical order from Okras0 onward.
