• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Crash and Burn?

I think you'll find running the effects slider on 5 has very little overall impact on performance, but it is the only way you're gonna' see some of the more animated damage effects. I'd also disagree with your dissertation that I'm some kind of computer "wizard" and that's why the aforementioned effects are visible at times in some of my clips. Dunno if it occurred to you that I deliberately set out to include some of the more "spectacular" damage sequences.....but I do. Who the hell wants to watch an air combat clip that doesn't feature a bit of good old fashioned carnage???

Not sure why Maledon was once able to see the aforementiond eye-candy, and all of a sudden he isn't. I don't have to be a computer wizard to surmise that it's probably something that's been inadvertantly changed on his system though. That's just plain common sense. Wish I could offer some suggestions as to what it may have been, but I'm totally stumped by it. Guess I'm not a computer wizard after all.

As Winder said, and I'm inclined to agree with him.....those clips aren't the result of any form of technical slight of hand, nor are they due to any form of computer wizardry. Anyone with a reasonably decent hardware array should be able to experience a very similar level of gameplay and overall visual quality. Having a fairly high-end graphics card certainly helps, but it isn't a necessity by any means. A friend of mine not too far from here seems to get pretty amazing results with what I'd consider to be a fairly mid-range system.....and no, his name isn't MERLIN, it's Steve.

Cheers,

All my settings are maxed out except terrain which I lowered to four after someone on this thread suggested I do so.

I did mess around with the custom settings options as well as playing QC through CFS3.EXE (didn't like re-rolling a pilot if I died or was captured).

I have uninstalled, cleared my reg and re-installed since then and still I can't seem to get it the way it was.
