Sounds like temperature issues or bad drivers? Try monitoring your graphics card temperature to see if it's too hot.

Reminds me of last summer when I thought about buying Flaming Cliffs CD version. Accidentally bought the download version and felt crap, but still ok. In the end I bought the CD version anyway (still in nice untouched plastic!;)). Not as bad as buying the wrong language though =/

Buy a cheap FC2/DCS:BS keyboard with RCTRL? That's what I would do I guess..

I installed FC2 with a previous installation of FC1.12 with a lot of mods. Never even noticed that FC2 made checks for previous Lock On/FC installations :dunno:. I like the convenient separate directory structure. I've had no issues at all so far.:thumbup:

I'm in the same predicament. I enjoy the great linux support and also the possibility of programming with CUDA. But seeing the price/performance ratio for the different cards I really don't know what to do. Think I'll hang on for a while and then go for nVidia in the end anyway. I like the possibilites for 3D vision, CUDA, OpenCL and linux!

Still, shouldn't it be able to see a difference between FC2 and Black Shark? Not that it's hard to manually change profile though...

For everyone's information I'm now finished with my download and am enjoying this incredibly great product so far! Seeding at 11Mbit so everyone can get it as fast as possible =D Love the torrent-option ED, or whomever is responsible for that! ;) I believe (I'm guessing) that you are just moving your viewpoint a little bit forward with the new almost-6dof headtracking. You should remap your TrackIR Z-axis to zoom instead of forward head movement if you like it the old way.

I've got two entire weeks of holiday all ready for this thing. If only it would be here by monday... =)

Anyone has any experience of running Arma2 off a SSD-drive?

I'd love to join in! Not sure whether I am able yet though as I belive my mother in law is coming to visit. I'll be there if I've got time though! Nice initiative!

It's a totally different game playing multiplayer with many people on the server (50+). I can easily run arma2 with all the bells and whistles while playing offline single player missions, but as soon as I get online I'd rather have everything set to low without any fancy effects, to keep the high frame rate. Regardless, I belive that diveplane was referring to Play.com's performance when it comes to shipping? Also, everyone interested in Operation Arrowhead that doesn't have Arma2 should know that Arrowhead will be stand-alone. You will not need the original Arma2 to play it.

I was thinking that this post should give you details enough. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=853809&postcount=57 Otherwise I believe that the 1:600k scaled ones would be at A0 size, 841 × 1189 mm (1m^2).

For prices in that range I'll definitely buy one! I'll even convince my non-simming friends to buy ;)

Looks a lot like the way we folded our maps in the Swedish army as well. Except the cutting in the middle; it would seem, at least to me, that that is just a recipe for making your map dissolve from the center and out in heavy rain. Obviously that type of fold cannot be meant for field usage and carriage in a leg pocket.

They should put one on each continent. One in europe, one in asia, one in north america (USA; obviously) and if there is one more maybe sell it to the highest bidder collector? That could make money... I have no idea how many there are or whatnot. Just thinking out loud. edit: Just read there are only three. Nevermind =)

Lol=)

About panning the view around, try pressing Left Alt + C to switch between the three mouse modes. Mouse control of switches, yellow cross mouse marker. Mouse control of switches + mouse view, yellow cross marker. Mouse control of view, no marker or control of switches. (yes I didn't read through the whole thread about what the problem is really about, but I saw this question asked without me finding a reply so I thought I'd step in)

I wrote it specifically to make it work on my Windows 7 64bit, so yes it works there =) The reason behind setting affinity to the second core is that a lot of windows' processes are run on the first core, thus giving lock on more space to run on by running it on the other, less used core. Not entirely sure that this really makes a huge difference, but I see no reason that it could hurt.

Note that this was a single print only. I guess the price drops rather quickly as volume increases. It was really cheap compared to some real printing firms I called first, they asked for something in the range of 7000-9000 SEK (980 - 1300 USD) for a single print. Then I guess a lot of factors like paper quality, lamination variants, number of colours all come together to make the final price. Then I was thinking that A0 might even be too small for a source this size. If you print at 300dpi (which you should I guess) you get something like 40x53 inches (1 x 1.35 m) which is actually a bit larger than a regular A0. When I come to think of it, I'm not even sure what size would be the most convienient one. Of course you want to be able to make out all the details, but too big and I'm probably never gonna bring it out on my desktop to plan missions =)

Cool! What would the cost be of printing it on something like that? I just made some calls to printing services in Göteborg and it seems it would end up somewhere around 900-1000 SEK to get it printed in A0-format (841 × 1189 mm) and laminated.

Play.com took 5 weeks to get me my copy of Arma2, but it didn't really matter since they were so much cheaper than anything else! =) And mikemonster: remember that just as any good simulation game, Arma2 really stresses the CPU. Getting a better one of those is far better than just getting a new graphics card.

Congratulations!

I guess the only one that you're really interested in modifying is the one for in-game (Simulation), but I really don't think it makes a functional difference if it is set to 1.6 in menus anyway. I should also mention that the script is rather ugly because it doesn't hide its output as it scrolls through the file, but hey - it works =)

I actually wrote this script today when I saw this thread. Really liked the idea and have used a simpler batch-file previously and just changed the ratio manually. This file actually replaces the ratio in the correct places and removes the TrackIR files just like it should. It also starts Lock On with affinity set to core #2. :smartass: I totally didn't know this much DOS-programming one hour ago but this does the trick nicely. Microsoft's developer center is really good with great examples! :thumbup: Hope you enjoy it! Just paste this into a text document and save it as a .bat-file in your Lock On directory (otherwise you have to adjust the paths in the script). I will just make sure everyone understands that I take no responsibility for how well or not this works for you. :D This, I guess, works in all flavours of windows using an NT core (i.e. XP and later) @echo off rem regsvr32 /s msxml.dll regsvr32 /s MOM.dll rem ------ FREDRIK BOULUND 20100317 rem ------ THIS CODE MODIFIES THE LOCK ON GRAPHICS CONFIG FILE rem ------ SO THAT IT CHANGES THE ASPECT RATIO FROM THE STANDARD rem ------ SET 1.333333373 TO ANY CUSTOM ASPECT RATIO: JUST CHANGE rem ------ THE NUMBER 1.6 WITH ANY RATIO YOU DESIRE, MAKE SURE NOT rem ------ TO REMOVE THE ";"! rem ------ THE SCRIPT CREATES A TEMPORARY FILE "temp.TMP" TO CREATE rem ------ A MODIFIED COPY OF "graphics.cfg" BEFORE COMMITTING ALL rem ------ CHANGES BY REPLACING THE ORIGINAL WITH THE COPY. rem ------ THE DELIMITER IS SET TO THE LETTER ö JUST BECAUSE I rem ------ NEEDED SOMETHING THAT NEVER APPEARS IN THE FILE TO rem ------ MAKE SURE THE VARIABLE %%L CONTAINS ENTIRE LINES. for /F "delims=ö" %%L in (.\Config\graphics.cfg) DO ( if "%%L"==" aspect = 1.333333373;" ( echo aspect = 1.6;>> temp.TMP ) ELSE IF "%%L"==" aspect = 1.333333373;" ( echo aspect = 1.6;>> temp.TMP ) ELSE ( echo %%L>>temp.TMP ) ) rem ----- OVERWRITES THE OLD "graphics.cfg" WITH THE NEW MODIFIED ONE. copy /Y temp.TMP .\Config\graphics.cfg rem ----- DELETES TEMPORARY FILES AND TrackIR FILES. del /F/Q temp.TMP .\Config\TrackIR .\Input\TrackIR.ini rem ----- DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS NEEDED? start DeleteObsoleteFiles.bat rem ----- STARTS LOCK ON WITH AFFINITY SET TO THE SECOND CORE. start /AFFINITY 2 LockOn.exe
