hitman Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Purchased an new laptop instead of a new desktop today. I needed something more for school than gaming, but since I still game heres spec of my new machine. 1.6ghz Turion64 x2 Nvidia Go 7300 128mb 1 gig 667mhz ddr2 (more to come) Vista Premiere 1400x900 resolution with all the bells and whistles. Hopefully this will be a hell of a lot better than my last machine of XP2200+. Now all I need now is a joystick if I can find one for less than 100.

hitman Posted March 9, 2007 Author Posted March 9, 2007 I will too as soon as I get me a joystick...I just dont know how good the 7300 Geforce will be on playing FC.
VMFA-Blaze Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 I will too as soon as I get me a joystick...I just dont know how good the 7300 Geforce will be on playing FC. The Gforce 6800 utra was fine... And I also had the 6600 gto ... And just recently the 7900.. All of these were uber cards, although they did have the shimmering bug... But all in all very playable .. I really think that your main concern here is your CPU.. As you know Lock On is very CPU dependent... You can easily replace a video card, but not the CPU... ~S~ Blaze intel Cor i7-6700K ASUS ROG MAX VIII Extreme G.Skill TridentZ Series 32 GB Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SATA II ASUS GTX 1080/DIRECTX 12 Windows 10 PRO Thrustmaster Warthog Oculus Rift VR

hitman Posted March 10, 2007 Author Posted March 10, 2007 Pissin me off right now, the video shows a white outline on all aircraft in 1.00 as of right now. Not even recognizing my mp3 player either, so Im gonna bitch sometime tomorrow at someone. Did I mention that the scren looks stretched??? Is there a configuration where it doesnt look like laffy taffy??
SuperKungFu Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 well of course it looks stretch right now, but once you change the ratio to 1.6 it will look fine. And have you tried updating your driver to get rid of the white lines? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Pilotasso Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 I could get a 2.13GHz C2D with 7600go over here for 1500Euro, was your budget a limitation? .
hitman Posted March 10, 2007 Author Posted March 10, 2007 1300 total, and that was to include new mouse and keyboard.
Program2 Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 i play lomac on my laptop Im pretty happy with it What model DELL laptop is that Superkungfu? I'm in the market for a laptop myself. Nice laptop by the way Hitman congrats!
hitman Posted March 10, 2007 Author Posted March 10, 2007 to get rid of the while line change graphics.cfg and set near_clip = 9.e-002; Now the cockpit disappears every time i fire the gun..and it still looks stretched...
SuperKungFu Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 What model DELL laptop is that Superkungfu? I'm in the market for a laptop myself. its the e1705. I went for the 17 in since it would give me better performance, i didn't really care about size or weight. So it might be different from your taste. I got mine at a pretty good deal, most of it at the highest setting at around $1600. I got a coupon from notebookreview.com so i was pretty happy with it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Kuky Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Now the cockpit disappears every time i fire the gun..and it still looks stretched... The cockpit disapoears? geees, you have some serious glitches then that are definitely not related to this then. For me, changing this value from 4 to 2 gets rid of the white line on the ground, but I'd still get bit of missing air intake of the 3d model of the F-15 looking from cockpit, and setting this value to 0.9 got rid of that too. Maybe these values differ from machine to machine. Try some value between 1 and 2. By the way if you're using a widescreen and your image looks streched you need to change image ratio or aspect in graphics.cfg file to 1.6, but also (I think) these lines in view.lua file and get max angle to 160. -- Camera view angle limits {view angle min, view angle max}. CameraViewAngleLimits = {} CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_27] = {20.0, 160.0} etc...

hitman Posted March 10, 2007 Author Posted March 10, 2007 I cant find any of them...what specific folder are them all in? I didnt see them in view.lua.
Kuky Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 view.lua file is in ...\config\view folder I've changed these lines for each to have same value of 160: -- Camera view angle limits {view angle min, view angle max}.

hitman Posted March 10, 2007 Author Posted March 10, 2007 Good to go..Ill give this a shot here in a sec. Edit::Perhaps 1.02 is different than 1.12 in this area. I dont see any of those settings in the view.lua at all. Thats why I asked for the correct path.
Kuky Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 hm... possible. I run v1.12a. maybe just try and ADD these lines???

hitman Posted March 10, 2007 Author Posted March 10, 2007 I tried...windows vista wont let me save em as is unless i save em to desktop and then move them into the folder they need to be in. Top that off it wont print my screenshots. Wow Im more and more impressed with the airport security on this by the minute.
SuperKungFu Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 since your running vista, did you upgrade your graphics driver? Like get the v100.65 ? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
hitman Posted March 10, 2007 Author Posted March 10, 2007 Says for xp...dont know if its compatible or not. I will admit that there is a lack of controls for my 7300 in my display screen. Only options are there for 3d settings and display, and even then they only ask me 2 questions.
Pilotasso Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 do a XP install, VISTA= bad news, Im not going to have it on my new PC either, .
hitman Posted March 10, 2007 Author Posted March 10, 2007 I bought one of those with my laptop. Ill just have to scrounge around and get xp somewhere else...till then im stuck with it. Thats the one thing that damn near kept me away from buyin this thing...they dont give you an option on what you want installed on it nor do they make it easy to swap over once you do, if you do.
