Hi all. I like flying with mirrors enabled. They are not really very useful, due to the low resolution images that show, but I love the effect that they create on the cockpit. They give a more realisic looking to the cockpit. Sadly, le fps cost is high, even in low res. reflections. Some time ago, there was a mod that tweaked the reflection and elimitated it, leaving only the frame of the mirror and a blue background (too blue imho). That mod only worked with LOMAC 1.0, because the tweaked file was visualizer.dll (and two .tga textures), and this .dll file seems that has been changed with every patch. My question is: Could be very difficult to "duplicate" the same mod for 1.11? Is impossible? Teka-Teka, god of mods, can you take a look to this? Thanks!

Same here. My frame rate is smooth and even I can turn on the mirrors! I´ve tested missions that always were unplayable, and now run great! I thought that was no future for me for playing LOMAC at "everythinghigh" until NASA could sell me their computers, but now I see I was wrong!! Thanks ED!!!

Excuse for my ignorance, but....what does this program???? What exactly shows on my 2nd pc? I have a laptop on my desk, near my desktop PC. What can this program do for me? Tnx

Sorry men. There are no magical drivers. All those modded drivers ONLY tweak parts of the initial settings that can be easily changed using Rivatuner. Do you notice a fps boost? Well, maybe that driver is decreasing the LOD of the game to -2. Do you notice better IQ? Maybe that driver is adding an sharpness filter that exists on OpenGL settings, that just increase the aniso filtering to nearly 6x and decreases performance. Install these drivers and run Rivatuner. You will see what I mean. I´m not telling that the drivers are bad. Are just the same drivers but with tweaked settings. If work for you, great, but are not magical. Of course, a 77.77 driver can be better than a 71.25 driver in some games, but DNA 77.77 are not better than 77.77 WHQL.

Tnx for answering. 1. Of course I meant TIR3 Pro + VE :-). Its not a light source problem. Happens randomly at any hour of the day, with and without lights. I have not any light source natural or not directly in front or near the TIR unit. And whats more important: Only happens with LOMAC. Anyway I sent an email to Naturalpoint. Maybe they can help me if is a hardware or drivers problem. 2. I have scenes high, all at max. except Visibility (medium) and water (medium). I have mirrors off but reflections on. But I have tested different settings and no difference. I think that the problem is that I force "high" scenes whatever be the host settings and this is causing a memory hog. That´s why I asked to beta testers, that use this scenes "tweak" if they had similar problems until they installed 1.11. Thanks!

I have two problems that keeps me away from playing online. I would like to know if has been adressed or if anybody in the beta team has noticed too. 1. Random unreliable TrackIR 2 VE behaviour. Sometimes turns crazy and does not allow centering. The view is all the way to the left. Is random but is very annoying. 2. Takes ages to load the missions on MP and seems to be a memory hog that affects to next missions loads or re-spawns. I mean that ussually I get CTDs after the second mission or after looking the map, or switching views. I have scenes on "high" and tweaked the files so the server settings dont remove my beloved trees. I remember on the lists of fixes that was some kind of problem with different client-host scene settings. Maybe the memory hog and high loading time is caused by this? I have 1Gb DDR400 , Geforce 6800GT, AMD64 2Ghz...etc and, although LOMAC is very demanding, I´ve tested different settings and does not seems to be a problem caused by my configuration. Just wanted to know if on the "stability problems solved things" list some of you, beta and devs team, noticed these symptoms. Thank you very much!

Same here. The crackle is horrible. Maybe is the effect of the loop of the wave/ogg files? Maybe the engine does not handle it correctly...

BUMP Any update? Tnx

Somebody could scan the DVD cover, please, for us, poor downloaders? I love that cover and I prefer it more that a custom made one! Thank you.

I have the same problem. I have an Audigy 2 and I´ve tested all drivers and all Lomac versions, and always the same. On FC I have clicks and pops when giving orders to i.e.the Wingman, besides the problems you mention on external view. The phrases and some sounds always start with a click. I tried the sound acceleration trick, and its useless....

Sure! Please, continue!!!! Besides, a question: Is there any tweak in FC 1.1 to avoid seeing the water under the ground? Is this problem decreasing fps? I remember there was a discussion about this but I dont know if , as Lomac renders water on all map, this caused a hughe fps drop. Tnx!!

It Worked for me! Tnx!

YOU ARE DA MAN!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! I´ve been flying on your squads server (Taipan and Shepsky downed me while I was testing :-P) that always had no trees, and now THEY ARE THERE!!! Great tip. Should be sticky!! Tnx again.

Are you sure? I tried that some time ago (1.01) , and I remember the did not worked. Have you tested this on your dedicated server?, I mean if somebody on your squad has observed that this works. Anyway I m going to test it and I´ll post here if it works. Tnx!

Tnx for answering! If the problem are some objects, why only focus the solution on the trees? I can live w/o some buildings, but I need the forests and tree lines. I dont think trees and forests can cause problems. The people with lower specifications could see a green surface in the place where I see a forest. Thats all. Im not telling that the server uses a higher setting in order the rest of players be able to see more trees. Im telling that the graphic configuration of the server should not force or affect to the rest of people. Is a matter of fact that, in my case, this problem keeps me away from playing more on HL. With the increase of GPU/CPU power, a lot of people will think the same as I did. Please, as beta tester, can you transmit this to ED? Thanks!

Hi all. There´s a thing in FC (as did LOMAC) that pisses me off: The server forces you to use his "Scene" settings. I have a good PC and I always play with all my settings (except water and view distance, both in "medium") at "high" (including mirrors). I want to see forests, civilian traffic, etc. This sim is a graphical beauty and I want to enjoy it, but online, the servers use low graphical settings (the most evident is "Scene", that is always low or medium. The rest I´m not sure.) I know that is a fps problem for the server, but it should not be that way. In fact is the only sim in the history that does it. The argumentation about "the people who has best graphical settings have an advantage over the rest of players" is really stupid. Forgotten Battles let you play in "Perfect" mode and do not forces to the other players to play with i.e. water=1. This is absurd!!!! The solution cshould be very simple. Why the server cant force you to DO NOT use the mirrors? So the same should be done for the (at least) "Scene" setting. I dont bother about the server forces me to do not be able to look at my six (F4 key), but let my graphic settings alone!!! Please, ED developers. Take it into consideration on the June patch. Tnx

MAybe the latest Lomac 1.1 patch causes worst popups. I bought FC and installed the patches inmediately, so I dont know if theres differences. What I dont like to see, besides the popup of the objects, transparent buildings and trees near my plane. The transparency should be far of my plane. Is the a way to solve this too? Maybe Loman settings? Any idea for both problems? Tnx
