1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted January 22, 2010 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 jp, fps average of 60.....if you have a new hockey 2000 computer the frames may be limited by the screen refresh rate of 60hz. mine is, i cant remember the setting but when i took it off, it went to about 140..!! so dont dispare....it may be 60 but i bet each one will be quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensenPark Posted January 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 old was was running at 35. tweaking away. had to fight it to recognize my speakers. I'm led to understand Windows 7 is idiot proof...but in my case idiot proof means an idiot like me can't work it. looked at refresh rates and both Windows 7 and Nividia set up only give 60 as a refresh option.

JensenPark Posted January 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Thanks Rog... funny, that is exactly what someone here just told me. Friar and others: how is the tearing if you are getting 140 fps? Is there a point in getting that high of FPS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted January 22, 2010 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Well it depends really on what your lowest fps is, and whether or not vert synch off improves it. If it doesn't then capping max @ 60 fps is worth it to not have the tearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted January 22, 2010 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 i have mine on, so happily limited to 60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted January 22, 2010 2. Administrators Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Most LCD monitors won't refresh at anything faster than 60Hz in any case. Which may be why you get 'tearing' if you attempt to force the frame rate higher. Personally, I'd rather not have the tearing issue, so have locked my frame rate @ 60fps, and everything's rosy. Still can't fly worth a damn but it looks nice while I'm sat in my crater. Jabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediteo Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 The shocking part comes when JP transferres his "private collection" onto the new computer. The sheer tonnage will stop a team of oxen in it's tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimosabi Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 ~S~ I don't know much about this whole transfer-thingie but why don't you just move the HDD over to the new computer and install a new, cheaper one in the old? Sorry if that came out noobish but I only use one comp at a time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfesser Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Win 7 has a program you install on your old machine that gathers settings and such. Damned if I can remember what it's called. I put both HD's in the same machine and copied from one HD to the other. Damn near effortless. Windows easy transfer maybe. Have all the programs installed first. IL2, TS, browser etc. I hadn't install Firefox on the new machine when I ran it so it didn't get any of my settings for that so I just ran the thing again. http://www.google.ca/search?q=Windows+easy+transfer&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the firewall stopping it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensenPark Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I turned off the firewall in the old 'puter. have the windows easy transfer software installed in the old one. every step works except the transfer part. I'll try it with the firewall turned off in the new computer. will let you guys know. thanks for the help. (ended up transferring the porn to my external, then over to the new one so that is safe...do not worry!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfesser Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 My daughter has a laptop and I've been trying for weeks the same thing- no joy. I suspect it's why I can't host IL2 anymore as well. Maybe you can put the 2 machines side by side and plug the old SATA cable into the new mobo? The old machine will power it but it will be a second HD in the new machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensenPark Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 no the end of the world. I copied/saved most to my external hard drive...then copied/saved it over to the new machine. Funny, the copy/save version of 4.09final moved ok...but not Ultra2. no biggie in the end, as the 2.0exe file (the 3.2g 'patch') moved over ok and I just reinstalled that onto the 4.09final that was moved over and voila.
