Acedy Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 HiTilesAF work with OF/RV after some registry tweaking. Do a search at Frugal's, there is a thread somewhere that explains how to make them work. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] *** SERVMAN SERVER MANAGEMENT MOD V2 FOR DCS:BS V1.0.1 *** *** VERSION FOR FC2 ***
RedTiger Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I have F 4.0 AF with HiTiles. You are saying the HiTiles wouldn´t work for OF 4.7? I am downloading 4.5 and 4.7 now to try it, but was disapointed that I cannot use HiTiles with it? Why not? Is there two versions of HiTiles? And what about stability? Wasn´t AF made to make F4.0 stable? I thought OF 4.5/4.7 was made based on the old F4.0 engine? How stable is OF compared to AF? Be honest! :) If it´s just as stable, I want to try it out and buy another version of HiTiles for OF. Oh, one more thing, in AF we have 16:10 1920X1200 res 2D pits, what about widescreen users in OF? Do you need to buy Ayes pits for OF, or do you guys just use your 3D clickable pit all the time? What I don´t like with AF is the constant switching between 2D MDF work and 3D all the time... I think your main obstacle with using AF Hitiles is the fact that you have to install OF over regular Falcon 4.0. If you want some hitiles for regular Falcon, look back a few pages. I provided a link with some older free hitiles made by the same guy who made the payware ones.
Kaptein_Damli Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) He, I didn't know about these widescreen pits? How do you setup these? Just through the menu? You can buy them from www.cockpits.nl Here´s a link to one of them. http://www.cockpits.net/website/prodgalF16CGWIDE.html You select default or Ayes cockpit in the menu. Setup screen if I remember. Pretty cheap and works nice with my 24" 1920X1200 screen! I actually tried Open Falcon 4.7 today and to be honest, I will stay with AF. It´s more stable online, has much easier set up. For example, I had no luck whatsover to get my Saitek quandrant throttle (3 sliders) to work with OF 4.7. The game found the throttle, but the only throttle working was my Microsoft Sidewinder 2 FF stick! In Allied Force I have no problems using my throttle! Also, the clickable 3D pit does not show switches moving. You only hear it´s "clicking". It´s not that big deal switching between 2D/3D anyway. When you are about to do some MFD work you stablize your jet anyway and switch to 3D if things get to complicated! :) Anyway, I am glad I tried it. I liked the airbases though, also better runwaytextures and skins. Explosions etc are a lot better, skies was fantastic. BUT, I am not flying the viper to watch the skies, homever it adds immersion, but nothing beats immersion more then a CTD after a nearly succesful mission...AF is the most stable version after all, and that matters for me. Just glad people can make their own choice. :) Edited January 3, 2009 by Kaptein_Damli Spelling errors...I guess? My moviemaking channel at YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/RobertDamli

Kaptein_Damli Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Just to make sure...did you install OF over Allied Force? OF is original Falcon 4.0-capable only! I installed it over a clean version of Falcon 4.0 and I did not patch it before installing OF 4.5. (I followed a guide). My moviemaking channel at YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/RobertDamli
Teapot Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 I'm @ work at the moment, but regarding your js & throtle etc - they are in the advanced settings for Controllers where you can set individual axis and sliders. Sorry can't be more specific! "A true 'sandbox flight sim' requires hi-fidelity flyable non-combat utility/support aircraft." Wishlist Terrains - Bigger maps Wishlist Modules - A variety of utility aircraft to better reflect the support role. E.g. Flying the Hornet ... big yawn ... flying a Caribou on a beer run to Singapore? Count me in. Extracting a Recon Patrol from a hastily prepared landing strip at a random 6 figure grid reference? Now yer talking!
rabidscoobie Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Hey I know this is an old thread but its kinda hard to find a forum with Falcon 4. Could anyone tell me why my OF would crash almost everytime I exit a mission. This is what I got: Vista 64 ultimate Nvidia 8800gt Installed Falcon 4.0 NOT AF installed Open Falcon 4.5 thats all I have done,I tried to update to 4.7 but the installer comes back and says I have a version mismatch.:helpsmilie:
mvsgas Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Try: http://www.f4support.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=14 You have to log in for this one, but it tells you step by step how to installed 4.7 http://www.f4support.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5475 To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
rabidscoobie Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Thx for the links.I did find a site that was called that and looked just like it but it had no posts....guess it may have been an old site that I found,but those are gonna be alot of help.Thank You.
Ramstein Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Hey I know this is an old thread but its kinda hard to find a forum with Falcon 4. ... what??? http://www.frugalsworld.com/ and F4 forums have been around for at least 12 years..
