  2. Creative Soundcards And Windows 7

    in Hardware Hell

    Posted

    Sid I'm using a Creative sound card, maybe the same as Fruity, Creative Found Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatali1y, came with a nice headset too. I'm running Windows 7, did have some problem at first, updated the drivers that Creative had on their site and put everything to Game Mode with default settings.

    Sounds are fine but I doubt I know if they weren't.

    Cheers Pook

    Cheers Crash.

    Jabo, there is no reason other than I have the cards here and am wondering if Creative have moved on with their Win7 support. After an hour looking on the net I'm not going to mess with the Audigy as it is clear that Creative haven't moved on. As to a new card that is Win7 compatible from the outset I would consider it if I knew the output would be significantly better than the Asus onboard I'm using now as I play movies and music on the pooter aswell as flying etc.

    Gents, has anyone got a Creative soundcard installed and running successfully on a Win7 system? I seem to remember FT saying he had done so.

    I have some Soundblaster and Audigy 4 soundcards that I know didn't work a couple of years ago and, looking at the Creative driver's site, don't see anything new that convinces me to put one back in. I'm aware of some modded drivers that claim to work but I'm not interested.

    There are a couple of new Soundblaster Recon3D cards http://www.scan.co.uk/products/creative-sound-blaster-recon3d-fatal1ty-professional-soundcard that are tempting me that are made as Win7 compatible, hence the question.

    My main interests are coop missions especially those involving ground attack (something which I'm surprisingly good at).

    Something you WERE surprisingly good at.....try them with the Dogz...more friendly columns destroyed than enemy!!

    Welcome Miguel, have fun!

    Now got a coat of flat clear to make the decals look painted on. Looking good.

    Canopy is lovely and clear, photos don't do it justice because of the reflected light but the cockpit shows nicely

    Progressing nicely....

    Masked and base coat painted, I put the 'Blu Tack' on to create the camo swirls.

    Took the blutack off and

    Pleased with the effect so I've 'glossed' it and put the decals on

    Used Tamiya acrylic spray cans. Easy to use and very smooth finish.

    Touching up to do and then a coat of flat clear before weathering.

    Hmmm, thanks Friar. Their findings are 15 - 20 years behind everyone else regarding aeroplanes and spectators - the evidence has been out there and available. Earlier on the day of the crash I was very surprised when an F18 came from the right and flew along the crowd line right over the spectators grandstand - fantastic spectacle but, as we know, highly inappropriate in the UK and Europe.

    Having said that, the experience of the event is like nothing else because of the way it is set up. I will be going again in a few years - hope it hasn't changed too much by then.
