    Warthog Returns!

    in DCS Series

    Posted

    Oh, I am jealous!! I really wanted to learn this sim. I was fairly good with the A-10A in Lockon FC2 and made a 20 mission campaign called 'When Hawgs Fly' and other missions. But the only squads I was friends with who flew this was the Warhawks and I think they start their engines manually. I spent hours trying to get my old brain to memorize all of the switches to start the engines and only got half way, and then summer came along...

    But winter is coming, so maybe I'll try again if CloD doesnt' get in the way..

    Possible Help On Running Il2 Ultrapack On Win 7

    in Hardware Hell

    Posted

    Hmm, I have not heard of anybody having to do all of that. I would do a fresh install like you tried. Are you saying the setup.exe was "fireing up when you clicked on it", or did you get it to install and it was il2fb.exe that was "fireing up"?

    I have heard that the memory should be set at 512 I think to run and just fly the game. I have mine set to 1200 Ram usage to mission build. And I fly fine with that as well. I have 6gigs of Ram.

    I had one major problem with the game shutting down when I tried to start it. The Selector program was complaining about not having access to the game folder or something. It turned out to be my Antivirus blocking it. I had to add the game folder and il2fb.exe to the whilelist/approved programs in my AV. That fixed it. I run BitDefender as my AV and everyone with that AV had the same problem. I think there was at least one other AV that also had this issue.

    PS:

    You might try buying IL2 1946 from Steam to install fresh? Just $9 I think...

    I tried to show SH5 to my uncle up at the lake this week and had problems. But I did finally get it connected and was able to who it to him. But I was staying next door, at my aunt's cottage, and she does not have wifi. So, I found myself leaning out the window, or walking around they yard, just to try and get on his wifi for 2 seconds to connect so I could play. That sucks.

    At least Steam has an Offline mode that is supposed to let you play when not connected. It worked at first, but then it started asking if I really wanted to start in Offline Mode, and when I clicked Yes, it said it couldn't connect to the server and ended. WTF!!

    Can Someone Test My Coral Sea Mission?

    in Missions and mission building

    Posted

    In my new Coral Sea mission, I have Red and blue Carriers. For some reason, about 20-30 minutes into the mission the Red AC are available to fly on the Blue Carriers and vice versa. I have tested this several times with the same results... Once all of the AC switched, another time some switched.

    Can someone just run this and check the available aircraft on the carriers at the beginning, and then let it run for a while and check again later? I'm starting to think it's just something with my pc maybe. I posted this problem on the UP site with no replies from anyone, so I don't know..

    Download here.

    My Planned New Build..

    in Hardware Hell

    Posted

    Thanks, I'll give that a try...

    I had to reduce my settings in RoF last week due to bad FPS. It may have just been lag or something.

    I am suprised that card still rates up there being over 2 years old. I tried to OC it a few times and it locked up after just a little OCing. So, I just gave that up, and it was getting fairly hot as well..

    Mouse Not Working After Il2 Update

    in Help!!

    Posted

    Have him check this:

    - go to the iL-2 directory

    - open conf.ini

    - look for the [rts] section

    - check if "mouseUse=2"

    It should be set to 2 by default. I know that setting it to 1 allows it to move off the main game monitor to another monitor. I'm not sure what other values may do..

    Stuck On "90% Loading Humans"

    Is that 4gb Address space only for 64bit windows? Wish they would document this stuff... :rolleyes:

    I had this note from UP 2.0 in my Mod Setup guide:

    - "Mission Loading Failed: MESH 3do/Humans/Paratroopers/Russia/mono.sim not created"

    Use S3TC compression

    (If that does not work, try this in your OpenGL section: TexFlags.TexCompressARBExt=1)
