nikumba- Thanks for the advice. BTW, I like your webpage. Do you really like comanche4? Its just awful. I noticed you also listed Need for Speed2, thats just too easy of a driving game, you can keep the car floored all the time no matter how tight the turns are. The best driving game Ive done so far is a road rally one on Xbox, they did an oustanding job of simulating the realistic physics of driving a car. On operation flashpoint you get to drive alot of jeeps and trucks which is alot of fun, you use the mouse instead of arrow buttons so it really feels like your steering. I think Ive killed more enemy soldiers running them over with the truck than shooting them.

PC games give warnings about people going into seizures due to “flashing lights” in games. When I first started playing FPSs, the graphics and enemy tactics were so real that I felt I was really going to get my head blown off by being so startled. Anyone hear of anyone having severe physical reactions to pc games?

Thanks for the offer to help on my comp problems guys, its a real stumper, but heres the story: I had originally an Athlon 1700xp 256ram and used onboard video to play video games. I started having alot of problems with games malfuntioning, shutting down and getting warning messages until finally it just died. I took it in and found that I had fried the graphics part of my processor. So now I have a new Athlon 1800xp, and a new motherboard (broke the orignial trying to play Mr Fixit man) 512 ram and a Geforce4 64mb mx440 graphics card. I also had my harddrive formated and win98 installed a couple of times. So now my comp seems to be running ok except for an occational illegal fuction message after playing a game and the slow motion problem when running C&C generals. Others games like RTCWolfenstien seem to run ok. Theres a definate delay when I turn fast in Max Paine, so I have to use 800×600 for fast shooting on that (Im not a wimp who relys on the slo-mo feature of that game. So what could it be? Could I still have a virul problem after haveing my HD formated? Could my ram be screwed up? I havent installed an antivirus since I dont have internet, and I couldnt update it anyways. Frankvw told me about this russian antivirus AVP, anyone use that?

Ive seen that Il-2 Forgotton Battles, the expantion for Il-2 has just been released in the US. Has anyone got it yet?

Garry- Thanks for the tips on shooting for OpFP. Thats my second favorite game after Ghost Recon. The AI on both these games is top notch, I really feel the enemy soldiers know how to use cover and flanking tactics quite well. On Ghost Recon most the levels are where soldiers are stationed at posts and waiting and wont attack unless they see you or you start shooting. A major exception to that is level 3 where theres about 50 troops escorting tanks, once you shoot at them, thats it, theyre all after you and wont stop till they get you. OpFP is realistic in the way that the enemy is moving through an area so the fighting is very dynamic in that you dont know what theyll do as they move into an area. BTW, why dont you just buy a new graphics card? A 64mb should only run between $70 and $90, are you that poor?

I live about 60 miles south of Mexico City, and Ive used the Mexico City subway system all the time when I lived there. It runs on truck tires so the ride is very smooth, fast and quiet. I think the system is about 25 years old and is the second largest in the world I think behind Moscows. I cant figure why anyone would drive in Mexico city as you can just whiz across the entire city in no time (its a very large city). You dont want to ride the subway between 7am and 9am as it makes a mosh pit look like a bonding encounter.

Can anyone tell me where the best place to get more aircraft for FS2002 and CFS2 ? Im definately not happy with the selection you get with FS2002.

Garry- Op Flashpoint is very good at realistic stratagy in that the enemy all move through the area in realsitic attack fashion. The only problem I have is that its extremely hard to hit anything with your rifle at close range or long range.

It should be noted that the French Airforce is now by far one of the largest and most modern in Europe, and Germanys is small and barely serviceable. I dont think the french have quickly forgotten how bad it is to be occupied.

” Compare Das Boot with the Hollywood version U-578 or Stalingrad with Enemy at the Gates. “

Geforce- Das Boot and Stalingrad were both Wolfgang Peterson movies. He does a good job at realistic settings, but his storylines are amatuerish and sort of just take up time. However if you see the directors cut of Das Boot (3 hours long I think) that makes more sense and follows the book more completely. The first half hour of Stalingrad was very realistic, but after that he seemed to run out of ideas for a story, and the group of 3 or 4 soldiers portrayed in the film just sort of wander around aimlessly in a deserted Stalingrad.

“The french cinema is intelligent , sometimes boring but too far away from Hollywood’s standards to have a worldwide huge carrier”

This is what Ive heard about french films, more in depth messages to them.

I just got that myself Ben, sofar it looks good, but I cant run it at 1024×768 because everything goes in slow motion, Im going to hate life if I have to play that game at 800×600 on my 17″ monitor. I thought having a 1.5ghz 512ram and 64mb geforce4 graphics card would handle anything. I hate to think my rig is outdated for new games. BTW, what was that helo sim you told me you liked a long while back?
