If possible I would like to join to the mighty forces of lolwaffe. I don't have a mic. My take-off looks like I'm drunk and I propably am the first one to be shot down or I accidentally bail off. I don't own the joystick yet, propably getting it this week, nor I have flew before with joystick. All my flying experience is based on maybe four unhappy ending flights with IL-2 and with keyboard and game pad. If I have to name one strenght I have, it is perfect landings. I'm a phenomenal landing machine, I'm a natural talent. My landings are precise as prussian nazi. (this is all based on one landing)

I have a Il-2 Sturmovik 1946. I have downloaded HFSX mod and ultrapack which I have not yet installed. What else mods do I need?

Hmm, obviously you havent seen most of the landings we do/ take offs...
the main cause of death in the lolwaffe is usualy Crash on takeoff/landing.

07-28-10, 05:24 PM
Huraaay, it's official my 8800GT bit the dust it seems :shifty:

No drivers - it runs fine (except I can't run anything)
with drivers - Graphical glitches in games and windows, system lock up now even my splash screen (windows load up screen) has a nice formation of blue dotted pixels in a pattern and that's in DOS.

so it seems I'll be not flying for quite a while.

so probally gonna prep my PC up for a complete formatation and reinstallation and have a upgrade perform on it with a newer video card, more ram, probally a better CPU and when needed a bigger PSU. and perhaps some extra fans to keep it cooler.

@Hunter
Video cards don't necessarily die because of heat. I had a Nvidia that died after about two years with pretty much the same symptoms as yours and I don't think it died from heat in my PC.

Considering he said it ran 60° C idle, I'd say that's that it is the most likely cause.

Arclight
07-29-10, 06:58 AM
They run fairly toasty, my GTS gets up to 58 in idle too, but is completely inaudible then (even after cranking up the cooling a little). They never run over 80C under load though.

Any possibilities? :hmmm:
Tons of games that do that, and they got other tricks: a lot of cards only measure temperature on the core, not the memory. As a result, memory can easily overheat, leading to crashes or failure.

Had 2 or 3 crashes from SCII, a lot more from console ports like Mass Effect.

That said, it looked like the memory on Hunter's card failed, so it may well have been SCII that pushed it over the edge. :hmmm:

I guess running the Blizzard Download manager downloading the english client which was growing in GB's to cause my system to hog a bit and then run SCII wasn't something healthy on a system like mine.

Arclight
07-30-10, 10:41 PM
It was about time for an upgrade anyway, I guess. I'm trying to hold out for something my current card just won't run in an acceptable form... apart from ArmaII, but I still think that should run better than it does. Not gonna upgrade just for that. :hmmm:

HunterICX
07-31-10, 03:19 AM
Well, I was planning to do this later on this year or early next year depending the requirements of Storm of War.

but apparently my card decided to give in earlier then I would wanted but heck these things happen.

I could opted to just replace the card but that wouldn't get me further, as still I would have to spend more cash later on for an upgrade that I planned, so thought better have it done now so I could get on for the next couple of years.

HunterICX

Arclight
07-31-10, 03:30 AM
I think this is a good time to upgrade; the graphics craze seems to have waned a bit, with engine's focusing more on scalability... maybe I should say "focusing more on running on consoles"...

At any rate, interesting offers from both Nvidia and ATI, quad-cores and 4GB RAM are affordable, current-gen will be around a few years longer so graphics for most games will not advance in leaps and bounds. Feels like the right time to me, maybe postpone a bit more and see if prices go down a bit. :hmmm:

Raptor1
07-31-10, 12:42 PM
An ATI card? That's progress, at least...

So, what do we do until Hunter gets his computer sorted?

Oberon
07-31-10, 01:23 PM
To expand upon the above evil overtures. Hunter has asked me to host the continuing missions of the BOB campaign which I hope to do from Monday. Of course, if the GWX TS goes down we will need a backup, I know Arc usually has the ball on this one but it'd be handy to have these kinda things nailed down before it happens and I don't know where to go. :yep:

Arclight
08-02-10, 12:15 PM
For what it's worth, I'll make sure to have TS server up and running as often as possible. It prompts to start with Windows, so if this thing is running, so is the server. Barring a failure on my ISP's part, it should be available.

Oberon
08-02-10, 12:44 PM
I...err...I won't be hosting tonight guys, we've just had to have our dog of eleven years put down, only a week after having our eldest cat of twenty-one years (we'd had her eighteen of them) put to sleep too.

So...not really in the frame of mind to host. If anyone else, Arclight perhaps, wants to host, the missions are all as a part of the map.

Schroeder
08-02-10, 12:48 PM
That's nasty. You really seem to have a streak of bad luck recently.:-?

Arclight
08-02-10, 12:49 PM
I find myself in a similar frame of mind to be honest, with my mom going in and out of hospital for the past months. Not quite sure I'll still be awake around flight-time, for that matter; already feel too tired for playing a game. :(

Wow...that's unexpected. Obviously you were flying so low it mistook you for a ship or submarine. :doh:

It's Battle of Britain day after all.

I certainly hope to fly at the very least one BoB themed mission tonight.

In which I will no doubt stall horribly into the nearest object... :hmmm:

Jims TS server is up so I think it'd be better if we use that. :yeah:

I think they were doing some filming as both the Spit (presumably Carolyn Grace's Spit from Bentwaters) and a twin engined Beechcraft-alike plane were in formation the first two times they flew directly overhead, some hundred-two hundred feet up. Nice and low, beautiful sound. Then the Spit broke off and did some flying around, presumably as the Beechcraft-alike went in to land. :rock:

Worth it just for the last 10mins ....lovely stuff

I won't be there tonight. I've got to prepare myself for my final test tomorrow.:-?

Oberon
09-20-10, 12:42 PM
My internet connection is being rather unreliable today, so it's probably best we skip until Wednesday.

Furthermore, as tests of later missions in the current campaign have shown, things get increasingly laggy as the BoB progresses. Therefore, should we move to another campaign? I have one in mind, but I'm not sure how well it'll work out, so have a think about and if the one I have doesn't pan out then we'll see what we can do.

Arclight
09-22-10, 03:13 PM
Wednesday already? Everything post-Minecraft is a blur.

Flight yay or nay?

Oberon
09-22-10, 03:16 PM
I'll be along to the server in a mo, see who's about, if we get more than three then I'll try and rummage something up. It will probably involve B-17s and possibly Doras.

So that's Raptor and Task Force definitely then.

Schroeder
09-22-10, 03:24 PM
Where are you? It's just Arc and me here.

Raptor1
09-23-10, 11:38 AM
Sorry, my internet is even wonkier than Oberon's (Curse you again, router! Good thing I'm getting rid of this thing in the next few weeks).

I can probably be there today, if my internet holds. Need something to do until 01:00 when Civ V comes out, anyway.

09-28-10, 02:04 PM
Must take quite a lot of blocks to build that many Churchill tanks...

09-29-10, 03:27 PM
Maybe we should start to think about whether it makes sense to keep the Lolwaffles alive. It's been months since we flew a decent mission and we seldom have more than three people on TS.... :hmm2:

Task Force
09-29-10, 05:20 PM
Ok, I say we just restart the entire thing, get a new campaign, and new days.

1st, we get a decent campaign. This one started good, but turnt bad.

2nd we need to get new flight dates. I would say monday and wensday, or monday, and thrusday. 2 days a week so we dont over do it.

also, we need to get some organization. Might do best since were not doing this campaign anymore we start a new thread when we get the new campaign.

Oberon
09-29-10, 07:03 PM
In regards to campaigns I ask that people look out for good ones.
I guess I should also look at DCG and what it can do and how I can work with it. :hmmm:

Raptor1
09-30-10, 12:04 PM
DCG could work, if we pick the right campaign.

I should hopefully not be absent without informing you people anymore.

Crécy
09-30-10, 02:16 PM
I shall definitely join to newly reformed lolwaffes! DCG, is that some sort of grand campaign?

Raptor1
09-30-10, 02:24 PM
DCG stands for Dynamic Campaign Generator.

And it's good that Hunter isn't here to run screaming out of the door at it's mention...

Oberon
09-30-10, 03:17 PM
Shall we fly tonight or tomorrow?

Running the Campaign Eckmuhl campaign scenario, its 534 turns probably equal either A. Gruesome death or B. A waste of time that achieves nothing.
