My normal resolution is 1280x1024. Not really a huge problem, but curious still.

I had to choose another resolution, so I went down to 1028x960 and turned OFF "Use Windows Desktop Resolution".

Thanks Buddye! The resolution is the problem. If I try to run the game with my desktop resolution (1280X1024, so no wide screen), the controls go dead. Any other resolution is just fine. Strange. If it is to any interest to anyone, here are some specs of my machine: Windows XP Home Edition SP3 Intel...

Hi there! Just installed my BoBII again and noticed a huge problem. The game isn't responding to ANYTHING unless in a windowed mode. No joystick, no TIR, no keyboard. This is particularly annoying, since I can not exit the bloody thing in any other way but pushing the on/off button. Any ideas? Thank...

Here is JameB's real sight

That a Spitfire sight, right?

Oookay... continuing my monologue. :D Installed the 8800GT (it has a HUGE fan I haven't seen in the pics on the web sites, btw...). It was definitely the video card! Now I'm getting beyond one hundred avg fps with weather low on 12 vs 12 and on Turkey Shoot with inclement weather, weather high, 42 a...

Well, done did it this time! I went to a shop and picked up an Asus EN8800GT. Let's see what happens!

Thanks for the information ReFLeX! What kind of a cpu do you have?

After giving this some thought, do you guys think I would gain any significant improvement with, let's say, nVidia 8800GT 512MB, given my other specs? Any experience with this card otherwise?

For some reason the "smoothen" setting had vanished from the bdg.txt. Now I'm playing Take Off mission with inclement weather set on medium and getting around 45 avg fps. That's plenty for me! Just can't do it with weather set high, but I'm willing to give it another year or two. :wink: Yo...

Thanks Buddye, it's reassuring to know that inclement weather REALLY eats cpu power and that it's a handful for even stronger machines. :D I agree with you PV, twenty probably would do it. At the moment the problem is that fps moves pretty rapidly between 13 and 35 with some peaks above 70. I have t...

Just bought a new rig. Intel Core 2 Duo 4600 2,4 GHz with my old ATI 1900GT 256 MB. And it still can't take inclement weather! My avg fps is around 20. Just out of curiosity, did you blokes who run this thing with inclement weather get your rigs from NASA...? :D Well, otherwise I'm happy as can be. ...

Thanks, they're excellent! The 109 engine sound is a bit quiet though. Any way to turn up the volume?

No further artwork is needed. Number four (Santa's little helper in red) takes home the first prize!
