GK, looking through your game settings under [rts] you have 'ProcessAffinityMask = 15'. That looks like gobbledegook unless you have a processor with 16 cores....there is no way that should be set up like that as even with a quad core I'm sure the numbers don't go that high. Try putting ; in front of the it and setting the numbers to 2 - that will set the processing back to default as IL2 has difficulty using multiple cores unless you go through a lengthy process of allocating programmes to individual cores. What processor do you have?

Mike, I don't think anyone here uses the 352nd as an installation, we have gone for the AAA set that can be found in the Vault here http://www.dangerdogz.com/K9Vault/p13_sectionid/11 Put a thread or look in the Mods thread and hopefully you'll get all the info you need m8 Sid

This is the text from the Feb 08 dlls readme: 1)Increased smoothness of the river coasts and, also smoother whitecaps (foam) on the waves.

Ditto GK, I did that late last night so haven't had time to benchmark yet. Using the 185 series drivers I was averaging 89 on the BD with 2 x 8800gtx in SLI. A month ago I wasn't SLI and I was averaging 72 with those drivers on 1 gtx. TOAD, I will say that I have had fewer issues with stutters by setting AF to 'Application controlled'. I have used this for a looong time based on the vast majority of threads connected with AF on the Ubizoo forums (do a search and see e.g. http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums?a=search&reqWords=anisotropic+filtering+application+controlled&use_forum_scope=on&forum_scope=49310655 ) suggest letting the game set it. I'm sure somewhere the reason is explained but I will need to dig a little deeper. I'm also pretty sure that the readme for the dlls that were issued last year by Oleg for 4.09b says that the AF should be set to 'Application controlled'.....at work so can't get at the files to look..... Sid

Try putting Vsync on 'Use the 3d application setting', it works better for me with 8800GTX...

I'm back...anyone fancy an hour on the DF server?

Well, none of my m8s told me not to wear them.....it was only in the evening when someone from 69GIAP pointed and laughed at my legs that I decided to throw my dinner over them (cut-offs, not 69GIAP) so that I had to change them....

Not long from getting back in from my other major event of the weekend, a family gathering to say 'Hi' to my little!! bro who is back on Army leave for a week or so - he says 'Hi' to those Dogz that met him and the twins at Duxford last year and I am STILL trying to convince him to take up IL2 rather than wait for BoB to come out - WIP. Couldn't wait to get here to see what has been put up and I have laughed out loud (not as much as I did last night when discussing the intricasies of that famed sci-fi series 'Red Dwarf') at the posts up as they are so true to the nature of the weekend. There will be much more, I am sure..... Great piccies, keep 'em coming.... OT, that is a brilliant summary, I am currently lost for words but grateful for the appropriate way in which you dealt with my messing malfunction.... Vila, the reason my first wife and I didn't see eye to eye was probably due to the fact that she was 12 inches shorter than me...... Fantastic weekend. Thanks for the company, mates, looking forward to next year already and the progression of this thread.

Trying not to fiddle around with the settings now as after a day or two I have settled for split frame rendering as it appears with no choppyness - on the BD ntrak I can see the smoothness about 12 seconds in when view pans around the single La and the others in the flight come into view. This scene appears to be quite jerky with some settings, but not with these. No longer using 'nhancer' and am sticking with nvidia control panel as I have no glitches and framerates averaging up into the 80s on 'The Black Death'. I've also found that it is easy to watch and be picky with the sound turned low or off, less of a distraction. Time to leave alone.... anisotropic -8x antialaising gamma- on antalaising mode-overide game settings antialaising setting - 4x antialaising transparency- supersampling conformant texture clamp- Use OpenGL specification error reporting =off force mipmaps-off maximum pre-rendered frames-3 multi display performance mode- single display sli performance- force split frame rendering texture filtering anisotropic sample-off texture filtering - high quality texture filtering-trilinear-off threaded optimization-off triple buffering-on verticle sync- application settings set your monitor screen refresh rate as high as you can for smoother play. ie 60 hz Bold are changes done 17 Aug 09

Be rather like last year then.....

Cheers m8, same monitor size too, I'll have a mooch around the settings and see how it appears. Sid

Interesting stuff, thanks guys. I enjoy looking around the armour museums - we have a few eg. Bovington in Dorset that are full of examples from all over.

Forget trying to be technical, look at the sheet in my previous post

Forget trying to be technical, look at the sheet in my previous post

Rather than try to look at clocks and add/subtract whatever, I present the Dogz (Determine Our Game Zone) Time Zone reference sheet. As I said last night, the Sid Vicious is a mispell as it should be Sid Viscous 'cos I'm a little bit fick and need to see fings in front of me. This sheet does that with the time zones that GENERALLY the Dogz fall into, my apologies if it doesn't catch all. It covers Zones from GMT - 9 through to GMT + 5. It has Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time for each hour through the day, plus some either side. The idea is that you choose a time zone, move across horizontally to the one you want and read off the corresponding time in that zone. If, for example, DT is trying to work out a time to start a campaign DOGZ time.doc
