Downloading thanks for the news update RAM .


I've forgotten how to ramp start. I hope FF5.5 will bring first and foremost the needed stability(at least for me)

Get a blue screen as soon as mission starts; not BSOD, just a blue screen. Can hear the sounds, can rev up the engine etc but no graphics.

Win7 64b and Nvidia though, so was expecting some problems.

Works fine for me, I've just tried the single missions.


Thanks for the link by the way.

No problems here, aside from trying to remember how to do things

Yeah W7 64b and nVidia does'nt seem to be a good combo for Falcon.

Can you dual boot XP?? Or is that out of the question??

Actually, I have an XP install on another drive, just need to fix the MBR to actually boot it.

Try that this week, let you know how that works out. Everything else like loadout screen worked fine (no AA used though), just didn't get proper graphics in mission; I'll try some troubleshooting as well, might get it to work by disabling desktop composition (shut down that aero theme stuff from Vista/Win7 temporarily).

Thx.

Total package mate, just download, install and run.

EDIT: Actually...that's not quite correct, it's more like download, install, tweak, run, die horribly, read manual, read manual, run, last a bit longer and then die horribly.

It's a steep learning curve, but it's a nice sim, very nice indeed
