Re: Rise of Flight Black Screen

If you just installed the iron cross edition, you should make sure you update the game before launching it. I understand there have been some issues with dual core systems and ROF, but there is a work around- do a search of the ROF website/blog. It is normal for the game to pause with a black screen...

Re: New GPU- GTX570 ?

I found an EVGA 560ti 2 gb at my local Microcenter going for $229. Tempting.

Re: New GPU- GTX570 ?

I'm not sure what the current exchange rate is, but that might be a bit out of my price range- what is that in dollars? The card I was looking at is the 550 Ti, not the 560 Ti. It goes for around $200-230 around here. My case doesn't have all that much room- my current card barely fits. I don't know...

Re: New GPU- GTX570 ?

I'm looking into upgrading from my present card, a GTX 260 OC. I can't afford something as expensive as the 570, but I'm looking at the GTX 550 Ti versus the GTX 560. I would like to up the memory from 768 to 1Gig and I'm wondering if the 560 is really worth the extra cost. My desired price range is...

Re: Graphics Drivers Incompatible With Il2?

I ended up uninstalling the new driver and reinstalling an older one. I had to give up Nhancer in favor of nvidiainspector, but it works now. As far as the resolution goes, I'll try to remember to check that next time- perhaps the new driver had issues with the particular resolution I use for Il2 (1...

Graphics Drivers Incompatible With Il2?

I just updated my nvidea drivers for my GTX 260 to version 270.61. Since doing so Il2 will not load. Nothing else has been changed. If I click on any of the game icons ( I have several installations for UP, HSFX, etc.) I get the little blue "standby" circle and then nothing. Anybody here w...

Can boot defrag harm a computer?

I'm thinking about using the boot defrag function in my IOBIT Smart Defrag program, but I notice the recommended setting is not to run it? Is there potential for damage? My boot time is rather long (lots of startup programs) and I thought it might help with this.
What do the gurus here think?

Re: New Version of TrackIr Software

If I right-click the TIR icon on my desktop and choose "properties", then "compatibility", it gives me a bunch of options, including "run in compatibility mode" with a drop down box for choosing a mode based on a different OS, such as XP. I'm not using it currently, but...

Re: New Version of TrackIr Software

I'd go with the new Track Ir- It's still cheaper than going to an inferior OS, especially since you've already paid for this one. I have the Pro version, maybe that's the difference? Otherwise I'm fresh out of ideas. Just a final thought; have you checked "run as administrator" in the prog...

Re: New Version of TrackIr Software

My software is installed to the "86" program files directory as well. It's very important that the hardware not be plugged in when you install the software. Have you tried uninstalling the software, including any earlier versions, unplugging the TrackIr, reinstalling the new software and t...

I've got TIr3 working with Win7 64 bit with no issues- new software too. Make sure you use the 64 bit drivers.

There should be a bug fix patch real soon for small things- They are taking bug reports at the 242 Squadron site.

Re: That bloody hsfx 5.0!!

Do this. Start with a clean unmodded install of 4.10m. Install the official patch to bring this up to 4.101m. Copy all this to a safe place to use as a back up in case (after making sure it runs). Download the HSFX 5.0 and install it. There is no reason to be doing anything at all with JSGME before ...
