Where can I get detailed information on SAM systems? I'm planning to simulate a few and would like as much information as possible like interior pictures, how the radar operates, target acquisition and tracking e.t.c. I searched on google for the fan song that controls the S-75 Dvina ( SA-2 Guideline ) but only managed to find basic information.

Well if you have played study sims like Falcon 4 then you will know that it is possible to simulate military systems to a high degree. Of course the F-16 modelled in Falcon 4 is a slightly older version and most of the information was declassified and thus obtainable. I've seen some great interior pictures of the SA-6 system recently on a website and the person who took them is going to give me some information on the operation of these systems. The lucky guy is actually going to take part in a live exercise in these systems! So this kind of information, while hard to find, is not impossible to obtain

I was at FAS yesterday It has great background information but it doesn't go into enough detail. I need enough information to simulate some of these systems to the level of a study sim, like Falcon 4. Right down to the function of individual switches.

I can play for hours sometimes with no incident. Other times I crash to desktop after five minutes. Don't know whether it's something in the recent patches or my hardware or mods as the crashes seem completely random. If there are people here who play online alot and have never crashed then at least the patch itself can be eliminated as a a cause.

I turned up the view distance to 5000 (detail auto set itself to low when i did this ) then went into Ground Attack simple mission.  Ran around ok at about 16-20fps.  Was nice to climb to 1300 and still see the ground.  So went back in and set detail to high.  1 fps and hard disk was thrashing so I knew virtual memory was being used  I gave up waiting for it to finish loading the high detail textures and quit.  When I checked Task Manager's Commit Charge area, peak usage was 1.3 Gigabytes    I have a Barton XP3000+( 2500+ @ 2.16GHz ), 512MB, GF4 TI4200 system running Windows 2000 Professional. Since the relatively slow virtual memory seems to be the biggest contributor to the dismal frame rate, I'm interested in hearing what kind of frame rates are attained by people with 1.5Gig+ of ram.

I installed Cold War Crisis then immediately installed Resistance and patched it to 1.91. Today I tested it out in single player mission Ground Attack. Got in chopper and blew up the ambulance at base and got error message saying "Cannot load missions, missing addon: burningfire" I click it and I can continue playing. Are there any critical files that get updated by the cold war patches and are used when playing resistance?

I installed the explosion mod yesterday. Can you believe I never knew ofp had smoke and explosion effects lol I think when i first started playing it i unchecked it because my computer was a lowly duron. Now I have an XP3000+ so this time I left it enabled and nearly fell off my seat. Having said that the smoke obscures targets so I'd probably leave it off so as not to be at a disadvantage online

My pet peeve is that blasted radio target / target box stuff. Like a few minutes ago I was playing Battlefield 1985. I was approaching a checkpoint and there was very little cover then I heard the dreaded roar of an abrams approaching so I got down fast behind the only tree near me. Tank stops, it's about 30 metres from my position so I can't run for it. I hear the whirring sound of the commander looking around then BOOOM, a Sabot round sends me into orbit. This is why I prefer to play coop, where stealth actually counts for something.

LMAO! I did the digital vibrance thing. thx for the tip everything is more colorful now but the sky still looks like an 8 bit texture albeit brighter. I know bf1942's sky is just a static bitmap but it looks way better.

hmm interesting any chance you have a small picture of how your blue sky looks in ofp? Thanks

Looks like an 8bit texture. I've tried everything I can to make it look better on a GF4 Ti4200 but no joy. My friend said it was beautiful on a GF3 but got uglywhen he moved to a GF4.

2 m/s 3 m/s? Just curious

Anyway both OFP and Falcon 4 have different modes  so you can configure it as arcadey as you want.  They appeal to all gamers.  OFP is touted as a realistic game but so many public servers I've encountered have 3rd person view on, friendly tags e.t.c. Choice is good

yeah Falcon 4 is like that minus the soldiers You guys ever tried a Force on Force TE mission? It's just a blank TE that has objectives and ground troops but no premade flights. So you make flights and move ground troops waypoints around and try and win the war. Best fun I've had online. Too bad the multiplayer is buggy. I can't wait for LO:MAC to be released next spring!! The ultimate sim would be LOMAC's graphics/3D models/terrain, Falcon 4's excellent dynamic campaign engine/Avionics, IL-2s netcode and OFPs infantry. If I had the free time I'd try and code such a beast but alas I can only dream and wait for the Holy Grail. http://www.lo-mac.com http://f4ut.frugalsworld.com

My understanding of it is that it has to do with rank. Let's say you're in a tank as a driver and only #2 is with you as a gunner. Some other vehicle has 3,4,5 as driver, gunner and commander respectively. Everyone will follow 5 because he outranks you and 2, the lowly driver and gunner. If you had 3 in your tank as a commander then they'd all follow 3. At least that's how its worked from my observation.

the "where are you" happens if your men are following you and you get too far ahead of them. Perfectly logical though annoying. Just order them to stop and they'll soon shut up. The "bloody" icon thing has me stumped too.

LOL! I meant mentioning your shiny EXPENSIVE cougar

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Panning around with one of the four coolie's with the Cougar works great. Why would I want to use a mouse for that? HOTAS= Hands On Throttle And Stick (not mouse or keyboard)<span id='postcolor'> AHH, quit bragging!

I'll stick to my Geforce 4 Ti 4200 and 30.82 Dets thank you very much. Let the peeps with more money than sense pay for the R&D, I'll be along for the scraps later

Those Cougars sure look sexy though /me drools and stares at santa.....

These are not problems with OFP, most of the stuff you mentioned can be done with scripts. Â So go create a mission The role thing is an interesting idea but wouldn't work the way you suggest. What if you're a pilot and you are shot down but manage to eject? What if your tank is badly damaged and can't move and you want to leave it? You could make aircraft operable only by pilots e.t.c but let them be able to run around on foot with their sidearm and be able to control normal vehicles like jeeps.

You would turn, very slowly.

LOL why this obsession with animals?  I thought this was a war sim  not a clone of The Sims BIS, please disregard everything you've read here about animals.  Some of us know your time is precious and would be better spent on some more worthwile aspect of the game.
