He left a few months ago due to some personal problems. Don't know when or if he is coming back.

Can't help you with that, old iPad 1 here.

It figures, even at 1.0.0.7, there were problems with x32. At the moment I see no reasons against x64 but when I made the jump to W7, there were still some compatibility problems (software generally), and I didn't want a bigger risk so I installed x32. So I understand the decision not to keep the support for x32. It doesn't strike me actually, because I own also x64, but I'll install it with the pc upgrade (:v: hope it's soon). Anyway at least I can have a taste of the cockpit shadows now.

Yes.

..ok that's it, I'll change my sig back!

Ok, I added also my specs, so you can all make fun of me :P

First smoking, now this. Is it just me, or our basic freedoms are being trambled upon???!!!

If you're on 32 you can try this: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1214590#post1214590 On your own risk though.

Yep, got it, I use only HDR and cockpit shadows, and it's going ok so far. I'll let you know if I get crashes. I also have the 3G switch enabled.

Ahh, it's not "options" but "proprieties" and "read-only" should be on (I have a german system, and I was lost in translation :D)

Didn't try it myself, have you changed "textures" to a higher number 2 or 3 and it doesn't work?

Good luck with that. Anyway found a way to get the cockpit-shadows and HDR to x32: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=74725

Apparently Win x32 (x86) systems won't get so much love from ED from now on and if you have one, you have noticed that by 1.0.0.8 HDR, cockpit shadows and high settings are not selectable. I was going to change to win 7 x64 when I'll update my system, but until then: ******** If you still want HDR and cockpit shadows: 1. back up options.lua from C:\Users\*name*\Saved Games\DCS Warthog\Config 2. open options.lua Change the following: ["HDR"] = 0, to ["HDR"] = 2, (2 is right for me) ["cockpitShadows"] = false, to ["cockpitShadows"] = true, and shadows have to be on, so 2 for eg.: ["shadows"] = 2, 3. save file, and afterwards: right-click on the options.lua file / proprieties / read-only: on because DCS is trying to modify it, afterwards. PS: on your own risk, since ED didn't add it with the release.

I was going to open a thread there, but if the new features are not sported for X32 systems, there is no point to it..

Do you mean High Textures, or also that cockpit shadows and HDR won't work for X32 bit?

8800 GT, AMD +6400 X2, 4G, Win7 Hmm, doesn't sound good.

Hmm, 2 problems: Cockpit shadows options is grayed out for me HDR: I can only choose "Off" Is it something known? (asking before I will try to do the reinstall)

is mode = "USE_PRECOMPILED_EFFECTS_ONLY" advisable as in 1.1.0.7?

Sonalysts recently released also a UUV sim on the same DW engine. I don't find it that interesting, but I give you the link to judge yourself: https://actuv.darpa.mil/ It's free and they use players input for their research.

There's Dangerous Waters.. you could play if you don't mind the graphics. Other light-graphic-consuming-options would be: Civ IV or Hearts of Iron II

Men are like a good red wine, and with 40 you are just about to reach the peak, so enjoy it! Happy Birthday!

Pff.. It was my signature that tipped the balance..:D

Track IR here, signed. Don't really know the stories about hacking, but if Freetrack is legally allowed to exist, it should get the support from ED.

Oh yes!

Correct! You're next!
