Hi guys,

 

I have problems with overcast and im sure many do also, with Bobocops mod, flying below overcast is no problem at all, but go above and system almost grinds to a halt. Now obviously the answer is to "NOT ADD OVERCAST TO MISSIONS" or "NOT FLY ABOVE IT", but when trying to play a campaign that someone has created and it looks to be damn good, but it contains overcast, I would like to find a way around that problem other than what I stated above.

 

Are there any settings in LOMAN that I have missed, that would help this?

 

To the beta testers, has overcast been changed to compensate for this in 1.1? or is it not a major issue amongst most people.

 

Please dont mis-understand me, im not complaining, just trying to find a way around the problem, and being this is the only problem I have with LOMAC im very impressed :wink: .

 

FYI:

 

My system is

 

2.80C Intel Pentium 4 HT

1024mb Dual Channel RAM

9800XT 256mb

Re: Overcast work around

 

Hi guys,

Hi,

 

Well it is a major issue for me with my current PC configuration, and I believe it is for alot of other people too :) .

 

Unfortunately this has not been resolved for Lock-on 1.1 - I raised the issue, but it seems that the overcast feature is hardcoded and requires a complete re-design to solve the problem.

 

Hopefully this issue will be addressed in the next project.

I also mentioned the overcast mods for v1.02 that are out there and getting the mods incorporated into v1.1 but we haven't seen this happen.

 

The mods for v1.02 do work in v1.1 so that option will still be available after v1.1 is released.

Thanks for that info Shepski, the overcast mod's by Bobocop are pretty damn good, so im pleased to hear they are going into 1.1. Does that also mean that LOMAN will still be compatible in that case?

 

Britgliderpilot - I will try it with lower AA and AF settings off or lower, I currently run it on 16x AF and 6x AA on 1280x960 works and looks like a dream without flying above overcast. I will let you know how I get on with that.

 

Alfa - Pleased to hear that im not the only suffering this problem, shame its not going to be looked at in 1.1, but as you said its a matter of coding, so I can live with that. Besides im not going to let it ruin my enjoyment of LOMAC.

 

Thanks for all your responses guys, I appreciate your input, I look forward to 1.1

 

Regards

 

Terry

Ok sorry to drag this back, but I wanted to let you know that I have finally found the perfect AA and AF settings for flying above overcast in missions which contain it, my settings are now 4X AA and 8X AF ive now got 22 - 28 fps, which is perfectly acceptable, it beats 7 fps lol, and whats more below overcast its right up into the 60's at times. :D

 

It does go even higher if I take the AA and AF settings right down, but it looks way too crappy to even dream of it.

 

Thanks for the tip Britglider :wink:

It was in my first post, but i'll expand it for you :wink: :

 

Self Build:

Win XP SP1

2.80C Intel Pentium 4 HT 512Kb L2 Cache ( Intel Extreme Motherboard )

1024mb PC3200 400Mhz Samsung Dual Channel RAM

9800XT 256mb OEM

SB Live! 5.1

400W Power Supply

Seagate 40Gb 7200RPM 8MB cache HD (Master)

Seagate 15Gb 7200RPM HD (Slave)

Logitech Wingman Extreme --- Soon to be upgraded to Saitek X52

3 x 80mm Coolermaster Fans --- (Suck,Circulate,Extract) at 2600RPM idle.

 

On that system its taken alot of fine tuning and hard work to get things running smooth and silky, I occasionaly come across a hiccup with a random fps drop for a second or two, but nothing to complain about, overcast was the last problem I had which has now been fixed thanks to Britgliders input :D

With that system, running high FSAA and Aniostropic filtering is not recommended at all with Lock On. Complaining of poor performance is really pointless in that case.

 

I have a P4 3.0 with a gig of RAM and run it at 2 and 2 if I want good performnce in a complex mission and it looks damn fine to me.

Shepski, i'd like to just say im not complaining at all, I merly asked for some advice on overcast. My system runs LOCKON fine, its smooth as silk on the highest AA and AF settings, I have no gripe at all with LOCKON. It has taken me some configuring my system to an optimum level, but other than that I do not have a problem and the flight sim runs fine :D .

 

Im sorry if you got the impression that I was complaining, but that was not my intention, Falcon 4.0 has been gathering a little dust on my shelf since I discovered LOCKON :wink: .

 

Please dont take offence, but I just wanted to make a point that I am not complaining about this purely brilliant sim :wink: .

 

Thanks
