I think I'm getting closer, guys. This may well be a sound issue as I suspected.

I'd just read that the old Montego card that I have doesn't work well with the newer Intel chipsets. That might explain some things :hmm:

[CCIP]

Wohoo!

I think I got it.

I renistalled ALL my motherboard-related drivers from my original mobo disc, including a PCI one that seemed rather suspect. Removed the Montego card, went back to SoundMax. Looking good so far - I think this is it.

[CCIP]

Yep - woohoo

Thanks guys, your advice helped. Especially thanks to Deep Six, because thanks to the drivers he suggested, I can now run the game at full Anti-Aliasing without any problems. Behold the sweetness:

Oh, and PS

finchOU - yep, my heart is still with Falcon 4.0. CCIP has to do with the fact that I'm not a good fighter pilot (lately this is changing), but a pretty good bomber pilot. Although I've hardly touched CCIP bombing lately, instead cruising at high altitudes with my Block 42 and being a very, very careful bastage in general. It's not like those low-level CCIP passes I used to do, but I sure don't get shot down much anymore.

With my playing style, I seriously need to get me into an A-10 (but I haven't managed to really get into LOMAC) :hmm:

Sharp!

So thats what this sim looks like at full blast.

I ache for a desktop! Not this laptop Im running SH on.

Dont want to harp on your success but then again why not, you might not have had these driver issues if you were on XP. Ill stop there.

When Im at sea, and I see another Uboat clearly defined Ill know its you.

Alright !!!! Glad in some small way I could help. Just a query which drivers did you plug for in the end???

And that pic is Sharp !!!!

Here's apic of my screen at FSAA@4S and Anistropy at forceware 8

I'm using the 84.66 "Sedona's"




Deep Six....

Has anyone else noticed that if you turn your antialiasin on from SHIII (SHIFT+PageUp) you sometimes get a fps boost? I get almost 10fps more, from 26 to 34fps!

I ended up going with Xtreme-G 84.56 - in my case the 84.66 seemed to be slower (although it had some nice features).

Ah try the real thing...started with sims and a dream as a kid...now Im livin it!!! ...but first time bombing we had no CCIP just using hard sites with mil settings

[CCIP]

Very nice.

I think I'm destined for permanent status as a kid on that, since I've ended up going down a very different path (aiming for a PhD in a couple of years here...), but I'm always in awe when I can get near these things.

Good to hear you're enjoying it, well, I guess that's natural enough. I've known a few ground crew guys, and I think they all came out profoundly loathing planes in the end, well, at least in public
