All ready for 9GMT, I got about an hour:) Haven’t got Silent Heroes with me at the moment though so might have to be ordinary DC or BF:(
Depends, skins could relate to sims, there are several sites that provide IL2 skins. A skin is just a nerdy word for a full model texture 😮
What do we suggest running on it?
BF, IL2, any more???
I have a similar intermitent problem with disconnecting 😡 😡 😡
The connection can sometimes go all day absolutely fine, but when it feels like it…. it will d**k me around disconnecting every 5 minutes and then taking 20 minutes to re-intialise 😡 😡
I’m with Freeserve (Wannadoo) and guess what they blamed me updating Windows, seriously they wanted me to use windows out of the box! They’re insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway I think that it is due to noise on the line, pick the phone up and distortion galore, I arranged for a Wannadoo broadband engineer to look at it took the day off and everything. He turned up, after turning up on the wrong day :rolleyes: and then told me that the line wasn’t his domain and that I had to call BT, so another days holiday wasted.
Anyway the line still disconnects and I have to get my ar*e in gear to ring them up to sort it out. Anyway thats what your problem sounds like to me. Try changing filters around, if you have a phone plugged in to the filter remove it and try again. Can you hear any distortion on the line? Anyway its worth calling BT (or the equivalent) to come out and check your line.
This of course assuming you were talking about Broadband 🙂
Mixtec,
Ok, software downloaded, including silent heros, nice find by the way, looks pretty good 😎
Tonights out for me but tomorrow looks good so far. I’ll try and give the software a go before hand.
Ah but space is cheap, bandwidth is not!
I imagine Key has their websites hosted by a hosting company rather than having a large connection.
Anyway lets get some interest and try and persuade them.
Welcome aboard THE JOKER!
There must be more than two of us! 😀
Its not just patches that are essential for the smooth of software but your drivers also. Make sure that all drivers for graphics and sound cards are bang upto date. Does your computer crash frequently? If so then perhaps there’s an issue with some of your hardware such as the RAM.
Get everything upto date then test the sim at the basic detail level. If thats stable increase resolution to the desired level with all other options off or minimum. Then one by one crank them up untill you reach a satisfactory detail level thats stable.
Do you know how much a games server costs? Not sure what Key would get out of it, however I for one would be willing to pay a couple of quid a month to have access. I’ve been toying with the idea of renting a small one anyway. Perhaps if we got enough interest in it here we could suggest it to the webby. Anyone interested post here, and we’ll send a list of people to the Mr Webmaster. 😀
Ignore that last post I meant point of existense. DC type mod for vietnam, looks amazing but think its still in the early-ish stages.
Mixtec, have you got the eve of destruction mod, I’ve looked for it everywhere but can’t find a release.
Looks like Pacific fighters is a half way house for the Sturmovik team, before they really start working on BoB. So far it looks amazing and I for one will be purchasing it on release.
BoB is penned in for a 2005 release and was announced some time ago, Pacific Fighters was then announced after.
IL2 Sturmovik for me, when I first played it I was quite literally stunned 😮
I have to admit I haven’t given LOMAC the chance it deserves and will do so at some point.
Ohter sims that stick in my mind are, comanche vs hokum, the dynamic campaign was great, Harrier for the same reason. And of course FS2004, because its nothing short of beautiful in places.
How about Merlin, you had to land the helo on the back of the boat at various difficulty levels, then it gave a score at the end. Great fun at the time. I’ll try and dig it out, can’t remember if it was PC or Amiga, think it was PC, it was on 1 3.5″ disk 😮 Those were the days!!!!
