Strange screenshots thread

Post by nats »

Thought I would start off a strange and amazing screen shot thread!

I got these weird planes on the airfield, they were all just parked like that! :

AMD Phenom II X6 2.8mhz cpu + Coolermaster fan
12Gb DDR3 RAM
ATI Radeon HD4850 512mb graphics
MS Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 joystick

BOB settings on high, 1280 res, 16xAnisotropic - very smooth gameplay

The second image is something with your vid card or
drivers. You may have "particle density" set too high
in More GFX; no one should be using more than medium
(this is our most fiercely "futureproofed" variable, and it
will be a long time before a system can run comfortably
with it set to "full"; it can really tax your vidcard). with
a 4000 series ATI card, consider setting it low.

Its only actually happened once so far and for only a few seconds - when Dover Docks were bombed. But yeah I will turn it down from 'full' - its the first time Ive had those things set on maximum actually I usually set everything on high. Thanks for pointing that out. Didnt have any problems with high settings.

Yeh as PV states about the second one, I used to get that too although was resolved once I turned that down. And thats strange upon the first one, I do see some novice ai trying to land like that sometimes however they normally right themselves at the end.
In the RAF they say an landing's ok, when the pilot gets out and can still walk away.
But in the FAA the prospect is grim, when the landings piss-poor and the pilot can't swim.
Cracking show, I'm Alive, But I've still got to render my A25!
