I like your sigs! Burnt Toast. :lol: !!! The 1.1 CD will have SF on it as well, just not the same kind... This one only checks for the CD in the drive while playing. No activation, internet or anything like that required... Hey, at least you guys have the XR's!!! Too bad you probably have to memoriz...

Well, after an evening and night of agony and pulling my hair out and banging my forehead against the monitor, I'm glad to say it's not the HDD itself. I can back my data up! :) Windows got really corrupted though and after researching this, I'm not the only one who's had a problem like this. For me...

Even I know not to buy HDD from Wally World! :lol: None the less, this drive was only 2 mo old and I had recently installed and xfered all my stuff to it. Hadn't gotten around to back any of it up yet and I couldn't have asked for a more inopportune time for this to happen... God has a sick sense of...

I hate computers!!!

So, I turn on my computer this morning and..... NADA! Zip, zap, nothing.... Long story short: My harddrive is history along with all backups, 2 years of data, settings and around 60Gb worth of installed software. Don't expect to see #1 airborne anytime soon again. Mid week I go back to work again fo...

Two words: Good luck! If you want to make sure it works until you get the firewall and port forwarding sorted, just set a DMZ for your local IP (router assigned IP for the host computer) and it will open ALL ports for that address. Just use this temporarily to see if it works, you probably don't wan...

Well now... How about you try dusting off that reference handbook that's in the LOMAC box! :wink: There's even a "Walkthrough" (Host and Client) in that tiny thing reffered to as a manual. You ought to check it out! The setup process hasn't changed much, if at all from 1.0 to 1.1. Once you guys are ...

Problem not yet fixed, but small improvements made... Our latest findings include: MaxPacketsize of anything lower or higher than 500 seems to either do nothing or make the game run worse. For a while it seemed smoother running at 384, but that was only temporarily. Also, in our missions we don't ha...

I use CAPS for PTT (then program CAPS onto one of the buttons on the throttle with Foxy) and I have one of my hat switches on the stick as smoke. I know the real Tbird 16's have the dogfight switch rewired, but that would limit your Cougar the way Foxy treats that switch as a "modifier" for all othe...

In the \config\network\ folder, there's a file called config.lua. This is the file that needs to be edited to reduce the stutter (not eliminate, but greatly improve things). Before you edit make a backup of the original! We ran tests using a "pingPeriod" of 1 ,2 and 3 (it won't take anything else an...

No! There will be a patch sooner or later, but recently we just made some progress in editing the .lua files. Stuttering is not gone by any means, but greatly reduced. We're not going back to 1.02...

We'll post our findings once we're done testing for tonight. Still working on it! :roll:

Well guys, we're wroking at trying to solve stuttering issues in 1.1 right now and once that's done we'll pick up the tryouts. No saying how long this might take though? It's quite aggrevating... We've put in many hours so far trying to figure this out and it might be a 1.1 issue or combination with...
