The A2A Simulations Community

Perhaps I view things differently than being just a consumer-especially these days and knowing personally some of the guys who have stuck it out. In my opinion there is no such thing as a bad flight sim. They are so rare, so difficult to make with perhaps the most under appreciative (present forums ...

I've thought all along that many folks expectations for this sim where far too high. I also think we are really lucky it is even being released because it looked like it was heading for vapor ware. I'm really excited that it is out, but I hope that the support will be there to expand. As we all know...

Thinking about it, I suspect what they were perfectly failing to say is that the sim features the european partisans such as 303 sqn, an important marketing point for continental buyers. They would benefit from the services of a native english speaker versed in the subject, rather than some UBI or ...

Not sure why you are saving first as a .bmp? Not exactly sure what the problem is here but I'll add the usual process with PS. To modify, change or add any new texture in .dds just use the nvidia plugin, which I see you have. Rember, use dxt1 format for skins without an alpha channel and dxt5 for th...

PV, I got the specularity working but to do so required adjusting the formula that does the linear interpolation (the lerp portion of the Pixel Shader) for pixel color output. To do so is not ideal because with the lerp function it uses a value that linearly interpolates between the x parameter and ...

Opps, not AI but Adaptive Anti-Aliasing. Recall that you will need to set AF to use application settings and then set it to something high like 16x in BOB. AA can be handled in Catalyst Control Panel.

Turn off AI in Catalyst control panel.

As a side note, I finally got around to watching Downfall last night, even my wife, who typically dislikes war period movies ,enjoyed it. She grew up in West Berlin, so I think that might have had something to do with it. Never the less, really good acting.

I see that multiskin is partially installed with the package. That said it appears that you have a residual .fx file left in your cockpm16 file. It is called bf110.fx . This .fx file calls several .ms files, not just for the main texture but for emblems as well. If you have no Multiskin folder (it i...

As posted in beta thread... I have Win7 64 and an ATI HD4890 card. I've only chosen to run bob.exe as admin and the videos play fine with no effort on my part. So, it does not appear to be an ATI issue unless it is driver related. I've not updated catalyst to new, so perhaps in there is an issue.

Pilot says "Bye, love ewes".

The console version was not light which was why I personally thought it was a good step forward (have we not been down this road before?) , ofcourse some consider the FM from IL2 light and in that case I can't offer much beyond saying that the FM is similar to IL2s. Actually you have access to more ...

90 percent the same game, a console port to PC. PC version is an attempt by developer to go it alone in that market.

PV, I've come to learn over the years that many folks just want to play or fly. It's a handful of us, the tinkerers, that look at something and say "hey I can make that better". I've been flying WOP for sometime now and it's just that, a game you can hop into and just fly, fight what have ...

I think terrain shots are just demonstrating concepts and capabilities. The most interesting thing in my view is the switch from OGL to Direct X. Makes me wonder if the engine is not also console friendly.
