Positive changes IMHO. For the first time flying ATAG I fought over France against 4 British fighters. It seems it reduced the pressure of red flying/fighting (and most of the times dying) over England. It gives a dynamic pace to the server as well. I have read something about Defiants stating that LW 109's had terrible losses till they figured out the rules of engagement against them (never engage their 6).

By the way gents, with the settings I posted in the previous pages, I can now fly three missions on the server (approx 10kils) for two hours before needing to voluntarily restart CoD because of the memory leak bug
(before, I had to restart after every flown mission)

=> I mean the settings except the resolution...


Except for the lack of grass which makes take off and landing very sad looking, I have not felt any decrease in graphics quality while dogfighting (I do not spend too much time looking at the ground details though so I am not an expert).
What is more important, I have no longer fps drops when dogfithting low above towns with many aiplanes around (before I had drops down to 18fps).
And just to show the fps and graphics quality with MeshShowLod=1:
(above the city, low, with many planes (behind me...)

OMG are they really putting this Spit Mk+++ with teraboost case forward again ? !!!

Isn't that s*** mkIIa enough ?!!

I am starting to believe that Spit is a powerful drug. What we need here is a couple of DEA agents not Mods !

Grathos- what program is open on the left side of your screen?
It looks very interesting

[jimbop]

nvidia Inspector. Good for custom profiles with more options than the standard nvidia Control Panel.

Jimbop- i actually meant the other side of the screen. It looks like a configurable control interface.

Jimbob, the left side! {you know, the one where the thumb is on the right }

It is Touchbuddy, awesome freeware tool http://www.touch-buddy.com/ sometimes their server is down, you may have to wait and re-try.
Originaly made to use on a second touchscreen you may connect to your PC, I chose the easy way (window besides my CoD).
I use it mainly in order to control the complex bomb setting modes when flying bombers although the BAIL OUT key has seen the most usage to date...



but you can do very complex setups:

Yeah, the other right… Wouldn’t you love me on your squad! One beer too many (or few) I think. Glad you replied though, looks like an interesting tool. Will look it up when I get back.

335th_GRAthos, I noticed one of your chats on ATAG yesterday and unless I misread (again) you mentioned modifying a config file edit that enabled you to see better at distance. Unfortunately I CTD’d at that stage. Was this the MeshShowLod edit or something else?
