im running the game at 400*300 with an nvidia 8500gt smoothly over the sea

[bongodriver]

but plz help to turn ALL buildings off so i can fly as well over land at 80 fps

why can't you just turn everything to minimum in the GUI, I'm not sure anybody has even tried to find a way to turn buildings off........probably because nobody else is trying to do something as strange as you are.

There is no harm telling people how he got the game running on a low spec computer, is there?

but he isn't, he's asking how to turn buildings 'off'.

I also have 8500gt graphics. Cannot get game to run please advise

[raaaid]

what i did:

change my desktop resolution to 400*300

run the game

change the game resolution to 400*300 full screen and exit

put desktop resolution back normal

now the game will always start at 400*300

i think even a good laptop can run this game

now we only have to figure out how to turn buildings completely off and well be able to fight online at 70 fps shooting down thousand quit rigs

if you rather try this conf.ini:

Hi, Raaaaid. This is the first I've seen you post over here.
How could you post 34 times here without me noticing.
I need new glasses.

[AndyJWest]

If Raaaaid is playing at 400 * 300, he'll probably need new glasses too.

They said it couldn't be done. Raaaaid proved them wrong (though maybe it shouldn't be done ).

I suggested that he try 560 * 420 resolution - twice the pixels, twice the fun! I've not seen anything since, so either he's still airborne, or he's blown up his GPU...

Why run at 400x300? do you play with a magnifying glass? I have an 8800GT and run it all full with no slowdown at all over water.

Raaaid is using an 8500 GT - a much lower spec.
