Tex -USMC- 0 Posted May 23, 2003 yeah... I'd run everything as low as possible- you'd need much more ram and a better processor to run FB or Il-2 the way they should be run. Your system is kind of similar to Tovarish's, maybe he can help you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamesia 0 Posted May 23, 2003 That wasent the correct answer....... grrrr. You were supposed to say: Quote[/b] ]Wow, thats the best PC i've ever seen! I think that if you just put all of the graphics options onto maximum it will run PERFECTLY. I envy you and your PC. grrrr. Its a great game though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renagade 0 Posted May 23, 2003 buggy POS add-on pretending to be a full game at more then full game prices Took it back and got a refund Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tovarish 0 Posted May 24, 2003 as far as I can work out from browsing my computer...........GenuineIntel Pentium III processor 256MB RAM Running Windows 98 second adition Graphics card: GeForce3 Ti200 Get more RAM definitely, 256 more. That shouldn't cost you too much. Also, if you can, get XP. It's much better when it comes to memory management. If you think you know what you're doing you can try overclocking. Mine's a PIII 733 and I have it running stable at 940. I'm running FB at 1024X768, 16 bit colors, everything set to lowest detail except for objects at excellent, medium clouds, and lighting. Also, set the sound quality fairly low. It makes a HUGE difference and you won't notice the quality drop much. The only time I get a lot of stuttering is playing on the Findland/Leningrad map, and from what I gather, even people with high end systems do.

Badgerboy 0 Posted May 24, 2003 Still waiting for the sodding patch however. In the Me262 campaign, I had to keep reloading the mission until all of my wing actually got off the ground. Rather annoying. Additionally, where's the bloody nosewheel steering? Only the prototype had a fixed nosewheel! Plus when the engine flamed out,it did just that. It usually didn't explode, as any excess fuel drained out of the nacelles in flight. Only when landing did this become a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tovarish 0 Posted May 28, 2003 Still waiting for the sodding patch however. A snippet of discussion about the patch translated from a Russian forum (not my translation, feeling lazy and don't feel like going through all that cyrillic right now): Quote[/b] ]ROA_McFris Oleg, have you counterchanged characteristics of Lagg41 with 43 and La5 with La5F in patch? And have you corrected P47 toughness in diving? And one more global question - what do you think about at http://uolis.hypermart.net/stat.html collected data? Is it worth to perform tests further? Or patch will change everything? Oleg You can do tests if you want, but consider that patch will_change_everything_strongly. I won’t be concentrating on particular planes with answer. . . . IvanoBulo So I understood that patch will change “everything_ strongly†for particular planes? Or should we understand, that significant part of the code was rewritten (corrected) for all planes? Oleg Carefully read my answer one more time. I answered your question. I haven’t talked about particular planes, I said “everythingâ€. As to WHY the patch is late..... I think that explains it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tovarish 0 Posted May 28, 2003 I wonder what his wife thinks of that  Well, if it's a complete overhaul of the FM that we are getting in the first patch, that explains why it's taking so long. Kind of reminiscent to the birth of FB itself....planned as an expansion and evolved (after many delays) into a standalone. We should be thankful it's not like Lo-Mac though...I found it funny when FB came with an ad for Lo-Mac proclaiming "Coming next summer" When Il-2 had one saying the same thing   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renagade 0 Posted May 28, 2003 So what is it exactly thaat makes fogeotten batles not IL-2 with just a few more planes ? I played it over at a friends and well why would i pay for the same game twice with some tweaks and new planes and why is there hardly any servers for multiplayer ?

Icould easily dispute all of the above, but I can't be bothered. I'll Tovarish deal with it instead. Incidently... Lack of servers? Ho ho ho! Gee thanks, I just got home from work and I gotta deal with this :P Well, let's see, the AI has been amazingly improved, so has the damage model - I'd bet it's the most advanced one out there (each engine for example has around 20 different hitzones). The flight models were completely redone using more calculations to make them more accurate - and now it sounds like in the first patch they will all be redone again. The graphics can now be completely breathtaking if you have a top of the line PC...."a few more planes?" How about twice as many? (and that's just the flyables) and more are coming. We got a whole new class of aircraft (multi engined) and while the AI of the big bombers is buggy right now, they're a blast to fly online (with 8 mannable crew positions in coop). You can now micro manage your engine (fuel mixture, supercharger settings, ect)......last but definitely not least (and I know I must be forgetting sumething)...the holy grail of flight sims as far as I'm concerned....Dynamic Campaign!!! You'll never fly the same campaign twice!

Renagade 0 Posted May 29, 2003 Im still not that convinced the new flight models seems nice and  so is dynamic campaigns but just 2 bombers ain`t that great when u could  hack the old on to  play with the other bombers in the regular IL-2 and we so many crappy ground vehilces it not like u get to see  them up close for any period of time and why dont the servers show up in ASE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never see the ground vehicles up close? My man, the game is called Il-2. Perhaps you should try that aircraft. I've been flying it in the virtual war I posted a link to, and believe me, I've had the opportunity to study the detail of the german armor quite close up and personal. Either way, if it's not for you, it's not for you. You're the one missing out as far as I'm concerned  Quote[/b] ]and why dont the servers show up in ASE Because real men use Hyperlobby . *edit again* It's official, patch is planned for June, let's hope for no more delays: Quote[/b] ]We plan patch in June. Add-on with planes, etc... Later.However with the patch probably alsowill be plane... Maybe one, maybe two. I don't know. Currently we are working only over the patch. Add-on in background.

Tovarish 0 Posted May 29, 2003 http://forgottenwars.dyndns.org/ Heh, I haven't had time to fly there in a week and a half, just checked the Sierra Hotel and I'm still fairly high on the list: Efreitor 2nd Class Genadiy Grafin, 3.IAP. 2 Sorties, 10 armour kills, 1 soft kill. Shot down once (109 jumped me while attacking a convoy, damn good shot. Before I knew what was happening my engine was belching black smoke and  my elevator controls were cut. Luckily another Il-2 managed to put a few 20mm's into him while he was fixated on me and I managed to fly to friendly territory before bailing...I can't wait till we get the field mod with rear gunner) I'm very surprized that people haven't progressed much higher on the Sierra Hotel while I was gone...seems the mortality rate has skyrocketed across the board. Especially with us ground-pounders since the Germans started using 88's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To help keep some perspective on the current score...the Germans started off the war with a 100 000 point bonus (to keep some historical accuracy)...that was on may 17th when the war was re-started due to gameplay improvements. If you do the math for the current score - 132940 for them,  41050 for us, we've done slightly better since the war began. In fact, when it began things seemed to be going a bit too well for the Russians...I see now the Germans finally caught up with us on Primaries hit, but we're still way ahead on Secondaries...from what I gather now we're at a stalemate with pilots on both sides trying hard to stay alive...good...should make for a long, interesting war *edit* PS Tex, have you tried their forums yet? I've seen admins  manually add a few players who were having problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
