Hi Gramps, Thought I would repost my comments in the thread about the release of the F-15 since it seemed to get lost in a lot of OT stuff that came after it. I was wondering if you and your team are aware of this problem.
[QOUTE]Finally got home last nite and downloaded the model and installed it without problems. Took the bird out for a spin and knocked down 5 MiGs! An ace on the first eagle flight. The roll rate needed some getting used to, but still managed to down last kill with cannon. My wingman got one before he took a 32mm in the tailpipe. Very fun, even had the RWR start singing a couple times.
One significant problem I noticed...Right after I started the mission, I noticed the framerate would go up and down a LOT. I happen to switch to an outside view to admire my handling of this attractive beastie and I noticed textures flashing on and off. Id roll the view around the aircraft up and down or side to side and the view would show the odd texture flashing white then back to its normal appearnace. Tried to get a screen but it was flashing too quickly, didnt catch one. Everytime it started flashing, the framerates would go down, ie; plummet. Not seen this anomoly on another bird, thought you should know.
My system is an AMD 1800+ on a gigabyte MoBo with an Nvidia chipset and 512mb PC-2700 RAM. I have a Radeon 8500 with 64mb DDR and a SB-Live X-gamer. I use WinMe os, DX9a, cat 3.10. Thought Id mention this in case you needed the info.
Hope this bird gets made LoMan compatable. Would be a nice thing to have for the community. Loman will assuredly become a good compatability standard for modders and skinners, and a MAJOR helpful utility for gamers espesially considering the plethora of addons out there and the time consuming difficulty of adding them in one at a time and then making them all work together. Most certainly once its usefulness becomes more apparent methinks [/QOUTE]
I just took the whole post. I flew again last nite after I got home and the first mission I flew was with the Eagle and it did it again, flashing textures and dropping the framerates. Funny thing is, after awhile in mission, it would quit. Not sure if its my comp and/or video card or the model. Just wanted you to know as a sort of heads up. Very nice model, lots of fun to fly.
Here's ascreenie I was able to get lastnite. The flashing is rather fast so it wasnt easy, my timing sucks. If I pan the view, the flashing texture follows the view, it doesnt just stay in one place.
Anyone else report this problem?
