Found this - pretty much sums up my day...

Attendees thread is here

Crash was wondering who was confirmed for Legends this year, so I thought a compact and bijou threadette on the subject might be in order. I'll kick things off;
Jabo - arriving Friday, departing after Sundays activities
Knight - Ditto ('cos he's getting a lift from me

Looks like you had a good day out there m8, and some nice piccies too! Just googling for your 'what is it?' pic

Nice Cuda - Similar to my recent build - I've run XP32, XP64 and Vista 32 bit on this rig so far, and been happy with all, but niggly problems have eventually seen me wind up with Vista (no DX10 in XP32, no Windows Live or DX10 in XP64 - Windows Live and DX10 in Vista) - Don't tell Jim but I occasionally play other games which prefer those things. Sad thing is Vista benchmarks slowest of the three

Don't be shy to ask first. Some of us have had many hours of grief before we finally got it right.
In some cases, many, many hours of grief

The mods swap out the core dll's from the 5 dll pack.
I used the latest ones to get those options '02272008_core_dll' IIRC.
Yep, tried those, no change to the cards listed - oh well...
-
Same here, I've tried all the DLLs and they make no difference to the available cards. I'm in the fortunate position of being able to run in 'Maximum' settings mode, but it would be interesting to know why I'm not seeing the options you have Roger.

Just as well you didn't log in as anything else m8

Not sure about the second problem m8, but I reckon you can solve the first one by using autohotkey, a free utility for creating macros which can then be assigned to a button on your controller. Website is here.
I used it when I was trying cachya, and found it pretty straight-forward.

WTG TOAD! Good work m8.

One Q: Your windows desktop resolution is 1280x1024, and your in game resolution is 1280x960. Why is that?
Set in game resolution to 1280x1024, and retry...
Durrr...Not sure m8, will have a looky
Hmm, that's an interesting point FT, as I am currently running a higher monitor resolution than usual - I wonder if switching between modes is causing this - Oh well, I'll go kick the tires and light the fires and see what happens. Will report back later

Are you sure this is nothing to do with any anti-virus/firewall settings - I'd be inclined to try turning off the firewall(s) and see if that helps.
Good point from Gec there - see if Roger would mind providing a bit of remote assistance.

Every time I alt tab out something goes wonky(TS mic hiss or Freetrack lockup) or the game crashes.
If I use the windows key it almost always works fine.
Hmm, not tried that, but always used alt-tab before without a problem
In your case I might try a system restore to a date before the problems surfaced but since my last suggestion caused you more problems I'll just

I will ask them tomorrow about the warranty re Vista. I think it was Jabo who told me that when I suggested converting to XP. I think he also said some of the new stuff in that version of computer would not work with XP. But then I could be wrong about who said it. My memory sometimes plays tricks on me those days.
Nothing wrong with your memory Jim, it was me. I also pointed out that when in the past we had taken machines which were pre-loaded with Vista, and tried to re-build them as XP machines, we had big problems getting drivers for the internal components (this was a particular problem with laptops, but also to a lesser extent with desktops too)
Not sure I am crazy about using Ghost or Snapshot to take an image. I made a couple of recovery DVD discs when I took possession of this computer. Wouldn't they do the same thing?
Yes and no

There are a number of sort of free codecs out there which will enable you to play back DVDs - I'd need to have a look though.
~S~ Jabo
You're running XP right?
Scrap that - download VLC media player (google for VLC and you should find it) - plays pretty much anything...
-
are you using the same USB port for the X52 as before?

Talking of classics and DT, did I ever tell everyone about the time when I pulled off this wondershot on DT...Well it went something like this.......I was in a 190 and I saw this plane try to duck down and go under my nose.
...........you remember it?
-
No better I'm afraid Rog. I have found something interesting though - The problem only seems to surface when I alt-tab back to the desktop. This indicates a pretty obvious solution, but I like to be able to hop out and back into the game again while I'm waiting for everyone else to finish.

Set affinity for Trackview etc to other cpu core
Sorry for being dense - how do I do this?
Doesn't help I'm afraid - now FreeTrack doesn't work and I'm still at 10fps
I don't understand this at all - it's been working fine for a couple of weeks without any problems - now (without changing any programs, installing anything new - it's FUBAR - not happy.
Worth a re-install of windows or not?
Is there a Linux version of IL2? - Only partly joking
-
I used to have issues with choppiness (some process taking up CPU at the worst time) but I now go into task manager and set IL2FB.exe to "high" or "realtime" priority after the game starts.
I set TS to "above normal".
This has always made things better for me, however, a few Dogs tried that and their situation got worse.
I'm afraid this has made things significantly worse as now FreeTrack doesn't work in the game at all and even when I put IL2 back to it's original setting, the issue with FreeTrack remains.
I'm beginning to wonder if it might not be better just to go back to XP and stop fannying around...
~S~ Jabo
Oh this is just bizarre. Without shutting the game down, I've just launched the QMB again, and I'm back to my more usual 60+ frames per sec...and FreeTrack's working fine. Changed aircraft - still fine. Changed aircraft again, back to 10 fps. WTF!!!
LOL alt-tab out and back into game - now 60fps. Alt-tab a second time - back to 10

Also what AA/AF settings do you have for your vid card?
16xQ and 16x respectively (the highest the card supports)
hot?
in Hardware Hell

What he said - While it's one thing for a GPU to get to that temperature, there's no way the CPU should be that hot.
Couple of questions;
Are you using the stock cooler?
Have you removed the tape from the underside of the heatsink and then cleaned both the top of the processor and the heatsink using a suitable cleaner (I use a specialist one, but anything alcohol based should be OK)?
Have you applied a thin layer of thermal compound (the thinner the better)?
Have you checked fans, seating of heatsinks etc?
There are a number of Hardware monitoring programs out there. I use CPUID Hardware Monitor which is free and will report core, GPU and HDD temps plus fan speeds and a number of other things I don't understand
