Thanx for the link. Way faster DL! Thanx to all for making this beautiful A-10A model! A work of art! :)

I tried it but uninstalled it due to it looked blurry to me. Nice mod btw, just wish it appeared sharper as I liked the HDR lighting!

Low fps while using MFD with Mavericks etc need tips
Kaptein_Damli replied to Kaptein_Damli's topic in Bugs and Problems
Extracts from the graphics.cfg: } Camera { current = "Medium"; Low { near_clip = 0.2; middle_clip = 5; far_clip = 140000; structures = {30, 2000}; trees = {1000, 3000}; dynamic = {300, 20000}; objects = {3000, 80000}; mirage = {3000, 20000}; surface = {10000, 50000}; lights = {50, 10000}; lodMult = 1; lodAdd = 100; } Medium { near_clip = 0.2; middle_clip = 5; far_clip = 80000; structures = {40, 5000}; trees = {1000, 10000}; dynamic = {300, 8000}; objects = {10000, 15000}; mirage = {1000, 15000}; surface = {5000, 20000}; lights = {100, 20000}; lodMult = 1.5; lodAdd = 0; } High { near_clip = 0.2; middle_clip = 5; far_clip = 60000; structures = {60, 6000}; trees = {1000, 9000}; dynamic = {300, 20000}; objects = {5000, 80000}; mirage = {3000, 20000}; surface = {20000, 80000}; lights = {200, 80000}; lodMult = 1.5; lodAdd = 0; } } ShadowLevel = 1; LightsLevel = 0; MirrorsLevel = 0; TextureLevel = 2; WaterQuality = 0; FogQuality = 1; SceneFile = "medium"; TextureCollections -
I am using a X52. Same issue as first poster. Problems is worse with the A-10A, rest of the planes there are some pitching downwards, but far less and easily to trim out.

Thanx Mustang. I will try that when I am back home. BTW: Your avatar almost freaked me out! Lol!

I get the mod to work in external view, homever I get this anomalous inside the pit. See attached image. I thought first this was due to the 6DOF tweak, but I tried with old files and still no joy. Any fix to this? Do others get the mod to work with the 6 DOF?

To bad I have two Sidewinders here on the shelf...hmm...they work, but after calibration i see the cross wobbles around in the center, not staying steady. I think it may work if I add some deadzone maybe. I did try plugging it in yesterday to see how it was with FC 2.0 but I got the problem it was to sensitive. Like if I moved the stick only a couple of cm to the right, I was already doing triple barrel rolls! This also happens in FC 1.12 but not in IL-2 1946! Strange thing, I tried both of the stick and both had the same problem. I did use the before in v.1.12 and never had a problem with them like this before. After I got X52 I put them on the shelf, but decided to try again yesterday, but when this happened I unplugged them because of the loose center thing. Actually I did not try them with Blakc Shark. Hmmm...I try them again and see how they behave there. Maybe I am lucky! :)

I think I need to make my own mission and keep the number of units and planes limited. This mission is good with fps testing though. If you get good fps in this mission when sam´s launch all over you, you know your system is up to the task! :) One strange thing I noticed about this mission was when my wingman went in hot with guns, he pulled the trigger for a loooong time! All the tracers bouncing around made it even worse on my fps. I guess he hold the trigger for like ten seconds! Triggerhappy wingman for sure!
-
I must also add that I changed forcefeedback from "true" to "false" and the down pitching still occurred. Also worth mentioning, this problem is far less with the SU-27. I do need to trim in the flanker too, but I have some problems holding altitude with the Hog even with trim. I also wished we could set trim to a lower value each time I hit the trim button. It´s like I want half the amount of trim to keep the plane on the "zero" line holding altitude without using autohold. I will do some testing in the other planes to see if also effect the F-15.

I have tweaked and tweaked and are satisfied with the fps when flying around with my wingman, did some dogfights, everything runs smooth. Then I launched the "fire range" A-10 mission where you are tasked to assist a town been taken over. (Poti). When I arrive, I get several SAM launches and the almost a slideshow. I think that mission really destroyed my fps! I think all the SU-25s and ground units is really to much. Anyone else with better machines get stutters here? What fps do you get when all hell breaks loose? I know my comp is old and not up to date, so I will avoid missions like this in the future. Homever I wait for some fps friendly mods to help run this mission later. I think all the SU-25s FM is strangling my cpu! lol. My comp: AMD 64 2.7 Dual Core, 3GB RAM, ATI HD 4670 1GB DDR3. XPSP3. (I know, Windows 7 gives better performance, but I wondn´t reinstall everything again...)

Hi all! I have the Saitek X52 HOTAS and it works fine for FC 2.0, Falcon 4.0 AF, IL-2 1946 etc, but I miss my old Sidewinder Pro2 FF stick. (Had to, not working good anymore with centering problems). I bought the BS manual and have started slowly to get into the shark, although I feel it would be more natural and better to fly the bird with a FF stick. I know some of you use Saiteks and use the trim and recenter thing, but in the real bird, the stick actually stays there after you trim. I really want it to be as realistic as possible and need your advice on what stick to get. I have taken a look on this one: http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=355333. I also watched a few reviews on YouTube and it seems solid. Any other suggestion or do you think I will get used to the recenter thing with the Saitek? I really enjoyed some flying in the bird with be old ff stick before it became to loos in the center area. The Saitek stick is much more precise, so I need a ff stick that is very precise and not to pricey. Anyone?

I noticed this to, after take off with A-10 I have to add a lot of trim to keep the plane stable. I also noticed I had to trim a lot to keep the plane steady. I have checked my settings in the X52 calibration screen and the cross is steady. I have force feedback sat to "false". I thought this was due to flaps I had to trim after take off, but I tried taking off without flaps too and the plane wants to drop down unless I apply positive trim. Think this is a major bug and hope ED will fix this with a patch? It worked flawless in 1.12. I can fly and have fun of course as I am able to trim, but it shouldn´t really be necessary to trim that much. It feels like you fling the P-47 in IL-2! lol :) I truly believe this can be fixed with a hot fix or something as so many people have the exact same problem. I haven´t flown any multiplayer yet so don´t know how it works there.

I agree with you on the confusing of the numbers. You just need to experiment and see the results for your self. I tried setting the trees to something like 60 000 and I could see tree down below from an altitude of 30 000 feet! Not very realistic, and it also made FC 2.0 into a slideshow as I saw tree everywhere! Now I see them pop up, but a little farther away than before. Try using 10 000 as max or something and see what it does.

What is wrong with skins in FC2?
Kaptein_Damli replied to volk-19's topic in Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 1 & 2
If the bandit used boresight mode you will not get a lock tone. Just my guess. It like that in Falcon, not sure how it is in FC. -
Changing chat-window size in MP
Kaptein_Damli replied to A.S's topic in Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 1 & 2
Anyone know if it´s possible to hide the text from AWACS, radio etc? Like I want to only hear it, not seeing it, making it more immersive. I have subtitles off in options but that does not turn off text in game. -
Graphic issue - low visibility setting
Kaptein_Damli replied to BBL's topic in Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 1 & 2
You sure of this? It looks odd when you only see a flat metal part outside the aircraft! Lol! I have been flying Falcon 4.0 AF too much as I am not very familiar with the F-15. It´s great if it supposed to be like that. I was just curious. Thanx for the post, now I can go to sleep without having nightmares about view.lua! :megalol: -
What about this? See attached image. Weird...I did had some problems installing FC 2.0 as it said I did not had Lock On v.1.1 and a user told me to remove a reg entry because the setup program would not detect my Lock On install. I am not sure if that has to do with this anomaly on F-15 as everything else works good in any other aircraft. Anyone else noticed this? http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=37506&d=1269983583

Hi, try messing around with the tree setting in /Config/graphics.cfg file: Low { near_clip = 0.2; middle_clip = 5; far_clip = 140000; structures = {30, 2000}; trees = {1000, 3000}; dynamic = {300, 20000}; objects = {3000, 80000}; mirage = {3000, 20000}; surface = {10000, 50000}; lights = {50, 10000}; lodMult = 1; lodAdd = 100; You also want to take a look at Frazers tweak guide for KA-50 which applies well to FC 2.0. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=49434 Just remember to backup your files before tweaking. (I forgot and have no clue what the standard settings are...lol..edit: It´s stated in the guide!)

Graphic issue - low visibility setting
Kaptein_Damli replied to BBL's topic in Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 1 & 2
Yeah, I saw that too. Look like a low poly model. I have tweaked my graphic.cfg A LOT so that may have to do with that as I have lowered the farclip values. I also noticed another bug/graphical error. Look at the attached image. Strange looking wing on the F-15 from inside the cockpit. External is no problem. Anyone else noticed this? -
Low fps while using MFD with Mavericks etc need tips
Kaptein_Damli replied to Kaptein_Damli's topic in Bugs and Problems
Vista is a no, no for me as I have it on my laptop and it´s slow as hell....it´s powerhungry. I believe Windows 7 to be the best choice, but then I have to reformat in order to install that OS. I don´t want that now as it takes days to get up on feet again and XP SP3 is working fine with my system now with some tweaking. My next comp will come with Windows 7 preinstalled, but I don´t have money for a new system right now. I built the system I have now a year ago with a limited budget (built it myself) and it have served me well for a year now without any major faults. I think there must be a way to lower the res of the MFD. It was also like this in FC 1.12, I think it´s because it uses a lot of CPU cycles to display the image, so any mod there I much appreciated! :) Anyone? A option lower than 256 would be nice? ED? -
Low fps while using MFD with Mavericks etc need tips
Kaptein_Damli replied to Kaptein_Damli's topic in Bugs and Problems
That´s a crap computer? What it´s mine then:lol:: AMD 64X2 Athlon Dual Core 2.7GHZ, 3GB RAM ATI Radeon 4670 1GB DDR3. I have medium on scenes, but high on textures and tweaked options.lua and graphics.cfg and have an average of 40. When I slew my mavs around I get down to 14-15 if I slew it to far away. I homever found that altering some settings in graphics.cfg (see above) helped a lot and you don´t really need to slew to far out anyway. Any other tips are welcome. -
Low fps while using MFD with Mavericks etc need tips
Kaptein_Damli replied to Kaptein_Damli's topic in Bugs and Problems
I messed around with the graphics.cfg file found under /Config and tried altering settings to this: MFD { L01 = 2000; L12 = 8000; } Together with Frazers guide it helped a little. I also have cockpit setting to 256 in the options menu. I also think lowering farclip to 50 000 also helps. Medium { near_clip = 0.2; middle_clip = 5; far_clip = 50000; structures = {40, 4000}; trees = {1000, 50000}; dynamic = {300, 5000}; objects = {5000, 20000}; mirage = {1000, 5000}; surface = {5000, 20000}; lights = {100, 30000}; lodMult = 1.5; lodAdd = 0; You can try my settings, structures, trees, object are also tweaked and I noticed a huge fps improvement with this settings. Remember to back up your files, I know I didn´t so I can´t remember the original settings, lol. -
I believe training mission was taken off because of size prior to the online release. Boxed version will contain those videos. I think you can download these videos somewhere other than YouTube, just forgot where at the moment. Although I disagree with you on your first impressions. I only agree on the installation info. I had in fact to remove a registry entry to be able to install in the first place. A clever forummember sorted that out! I think the ground looks better than v.1.12, with floating rivers, higher res up high. I also liked the nearly 6DOF and the better FM. I do homever hope for better 3D models like the Sim Mods A-10 and others in the future.

Hi all! Enjoying my FC 2.0 and followed Frazer tweakguide (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=49434) for the DCS:BS and it applies well to FC 2.0. Hom ever I haven´t found how to tweak the MFD maverick display? If I slew the maverick around over big cities, I get some stutters and I am sure there is a place where I can tweak the settings for the MFD? Like making it less sharper etc? Anyone got an idea? I have cockpit at 256 in options page btw. Now I most sleep! Just strange how fast times flies when you look at option.lua files etc and try flying some, then back to graphics.cfg etc! :smilewink:
