Is it a problem?! HELP!

[CaptYosi]

Hello, I am a supporter of the saga Flanker :pilotfly:and now I flight the Lock On.

I have a problem with the simulator. I don´t know if it is a real problem :unsure:but it is very uncomfortable for me:furious:. I tell us in the following paraphrase:

1. There are situations which Lock On don´t run in continuos (like jumps or breaks). In a dogfight, other plane which went in front of my cockpit, appeared and disappeared, and the zone where we overflew was in a open area, not over a city!:angry:

Happens the same when I flew over the carrier. When I use the Track-lr in order to see it, when I pass, I feel an unpleasant sensation: as when the image stops for a moments and follows: feeling small stops even though the frames do not have time to vary or decrease drastically.:huh:

2. Making a turn flying over a village and watching the streets and buildings, they often notice small breaks in the landscape. At the beginning, I thought it was they were jerks induced stall, but these are different from when you advised of the maximum angle of attack and starts to vibrate.

3. With my previus computer (PentiumIV and a 7800GT) I didn´t pass me this. Another example: Flying over overcast sky and in the Flyby view (F3) happens the following:

· External view (F2) flying an only plane away with overcast sky: 60-70 frames.

· An approaching plane: the frames remain in 60-70.

· When the plane is about to go and begins to fly away, happends in three or four jumps with the frame over 30.

· If maintaining the view when you see the plane leaves, while making a turn in order to make another pass, it appears that the camera rotates to follow the turn, but does not smoothly: appreciate small stops and jumps!:furious:

All this happened since I use my new computer, even with the minimum configuration of my graphics card and the options within the simulator to a minimum. I use a clean installation, without any MODs. Reduce the quality and quantity of details and objects increases performance, obviously Lock-On runs with more frames but the problem remains.:no_sad:

My current computer has the following specifications:

· Computer processing unit: INTEL QUAD 6600 2.4 GHZ (WIHTOUT OVERCLOCK).

· Graphics card: BFG 8800GT 512 MB (WITHOUT OVERCLOCK).

· Computer memory: 4Gb.

· Operation system: XP sp3.

When I am flying, I don´t have another program run in background. Antivirys, antispyware, internet, …, all of them are disabled. Only Lock-On, Track-lr, Cougar and rudder are running.:joystick:

I wait your responses. At least tell me if you fly at low altitude when you experience this feeling. Maybe it is that I am a perfectionist and normal functioning well…

Thanks in advance and anyway!:helpsmilie:

PD. Apologize by my English, the groins is not my language, I am Spanish… :music_whistling:

Your right this doesn't sound right.

What version are you using?

 

You need either

 

Lockon 1.02

or

FlamingCliffs 1.12b

 

also in the lockon directory goto :

Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On\Config\graphics.cfg

(open with notepad)

and place this line at the very bottom

MaxFPS = 50;

(to cap FPS)

 

This may not help your problem but its a start.

Maybe check your graphic drivers or install new ones, could also be related to vertical sync.

But first make sure your Lockon is up to date. ;)

I fly the FlamingCliffs 1.12b

I´ve tried several versions of drivers. Also I have tried with the vertical sync. and the triple buffrering because someone said to me,

that the effect calls tearing?! but the problem but the problem was kept!

Whem I arrive at home I´ll try to it of modify the file "graphics.cfg"

Thanks a lot!
