4c Hajduk Veljko Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 Beforehand, I apologize for what I'm about to say. Nothing to appologize about. Excelent post and I do invite Lock On pilots to continue discussing Lock On - SLI here! At this time, I have everything but SLI motherboard and PCI-E card(s)! I am planning to get them in mid february when I return from a month long bussines trip. So I am eagerly awaiting Spearsd's report on his real life experiance with BFG 6800GT cards in SLI set up! Thermaltake Kandalf LCS | Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R | Etasis ET750 (850W Max) | i7-920 OC to 4.0 GHz | Gigabyte HD5850 | OCZ Gold 6GB DDR3 2000 | 2 X 30GB OCZ Vertex SSD in RAID 0 | ASUS VW266H 25.5" | LG Blue Ray 10X burner | TIR 5 | Saitek X-52 Pro | Logitech G930 | Saitek Pro flight rudder pedals | Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Muttley Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 Goya, Thanks for the link. I had already seen it when spearsd first hinted it. In my previous post I should have mentioned that the SLI reviews covering LOMAC are hard to come by *except* the one already mentioned! :D Thanks anyway. Hadjuk, Thanks for the support. You All, Happy New Year with tons of high FPS markings! FlyHigh and Check Six! Muttley, out.
spearsd Posted December 31, 2004 Author Posted December 31, 2004 I found what's causing the problem with my track file playback. When enabling CockpitMouse in cockpit.lua and using my Logitech MX510, the initial view at track startup is slightly askew. If I try to center the view with the numpad <5> key, all automatic view switching is disabled. I've disabled Cockpit mouse and it working like a charm now. I'll be back with an update soon :wink: ALDEGA, I did a complete reinstall of LOMAC + 1.02 patch and played back the stock Mig29 Intercept demo with your requested settings while running FRAPS but have run into a slight problem... The views don't appear to switch automatically during playback as they should. Maybe its just me being down with the flu and not thinking clearly, but I could have sworn this track worked perfectly in 1.02 last time I tried it :cry: What am I missing? -spearsd
BIOLOG Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 OK, I start from the beginning... 1) HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! 2) Il-2 one of three most realistic flight sims that I know (LOMAC, Il-2 and F4, although didn't play last one much) 3) Il-2 does simulate less things then LOMAC, as described in earlier post 4) I was running LOMAC more or less allright with MX card. Yes didn't have much eye-candy, but it was playable 5) Have 6800GT now, and 1.1 beta's run quite well on that... Despite my crap CPU and second slowest memory that is widely awailable - PC133 SDRAM... If you got a good rig and LOMAC doesn't run well on it, well... Perhaps you need to optimise your system properly. Of cause theoretically, "you don't have to do that because you payed for the game ect", but this is one complicated software so... Unfortunately it won't just work. Sorry, but that's a sad fact in life. The bird of Hermes is my name eating my wings to make me tame.
spearsd Posted January 1, 2005 Author Posted January 1, 2005 LOMAC SLI data... well, some of it... Happy New Year Everyone!!! :lol: Here's some preliminary data running LOMAC SLI... 1. Yes, it appears to be CPU bottle-necked :( 2. No, SLI doesn't appear to do anything nice for performance Sorry, I haven't put more work into it, but I'm sick with the flu. When I feel better, I'll make it spiffy! Demo-MiG29-Intercept / FRAPS 2.50 Measurements -spearsd
spearsd Posted January 1, 2005 Author Posted January 1, 2005 BIOLOG, I respectfully request you go start a DIFFERENT thread for YOUR topic if you wish to discuss it on this forum. Maybe, you can post some data there to substantiate your LOMAC performance statements :wink: Sorry man, but I've already asked nicely once. -spearsd OK, I start from the beginning... 1) HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! 2) Il-2 one of three most realistic flight sims that I know (LOMAC, Il-2 and F4, although didn't play last one much) 3) Il-2 does simulate less things then LOMAC, as described in earlier post 4) I was running LOMAC more or less allright with MX card.

spearsd Posted January 1, 2005 Author Posted January 1, 2005 Muttley, All I can say is I agree with you on your points, and I for one am glad you hit the submit button :lol: Thanks for your quality post :wink: -spearsd Beforehand, I apologize for what I'm about to say.

Muttley Posted January 1, 2005 Posted January 1, 2005 Nope, thank YOU, spearsd!! Happy new year and a fast recovery! Just one thing, your link seems to be broken... :shock: FlyHigh and Check Six! Muttley, out.
spearsd Posted January 1, 2005 Author Posted January 1, 2005 Muttley, I'm trying it from my home PC and seems to be accessible from where I'm sitting. What kind of error are you getting? Can you get to http://www.spearstech.com ? -spearsd Nope, thank YOU, spearsd!! Happy new year and a fast recovery! Just one thing, your link seems to be broken... :shock:
Muttley Posted January 1, 2005 Posted January 1, 2005 spearsd, actually, I can't!! :shock: Somehow, your domain is not loading up here. I double checked my connection, tried different browsers and nothing... Don't loose your sleep though... if the link is really broken, someone else will mention it. I'm calling it a day now but I'll be back tomorrow to check it out again. Once more, thanks for your efforts in sharing your experience with LOMAC and SLI with the rest of us. Cheers! FlyHigh and Check Six! Muttley, out.

Skywall23 Posted January 1, 2005 Posted January 1, 2005 The water in PF is better than the LOMAC one. I guess you mean the SM 3.0 water that requires a GF6xxx (lomac's water works on cards that are almost three years old) and is said to be quite slow (on GF6800GT). ... it also beats in the polygon area because its engine supports more triangles...IL-2 "supports" more triangles? Lomac has a signficantly higher triangle count than IL-2. IL-2 has "texture forests" and simple towns. The aircraft detail is also much lower. ok the cockpit in LOMAC pwn the ones of IL2 but those are 2D. (along with other things) Have you checked how much "3D" that I-185 cockpit is? Saying that IL2 isnt a proper simulator is heart killing, because that NOT true. IL-2 does not simulate radar, missiles, laser guided weapons etc. You have guns/cannons, bombs, rockets, that's it. They chose to go with a high number of flyables that have a table-FM with generic landing gear physics. I loved IL-2, FB. AEP felt a bit "milked out". PF simply didn't appeal. I'm looking forward to Oleg's BoB. Lol you misunderstanded me. I said that the LOMAC cockpits pwned the IL2 ones, and LOMAC supported more triangles. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
ALDEGA Posted January 1, 2005 Posted January 1, 2005 Lol you misunderstanded me. I said that the LOMAC cockpits pwned the IL2 ones, and LOMAC supported more triangles. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Lol, weirdness :P
