Dropped in to say Hi to any who may remember Me, as we are getting older and our health gets doggy I thought it would be nice to show my face.
So hope all are doing well. Cheers

RE: 801st/Falconers ATO & events
Hi Badger .
Thanks for your kind words, and yes I miss being around.
No full recovery, but I’m trying to establish better lifestyle choices and habits to extend the years or hopefully decades I have left.
Unfortunately some thing like Covid or even a bad flue will be my downfall so I need to be vigilante about personal space, eating well, exercise and keeping the brain active, Just as we all do.Talk again soon.

For any who needs it… 801st Site Despite rumors we’re not all dead yet , just slightly incapacitated.

RE: BMS 4.34 crash on launching the game [Solved]
I have tried many ways I find on the web, none of them worked. Hope someone can help me, Thanks.
10/5 edit:
There is no “dx9display.dsp” in the folder of “Falcon BMS 4.34\User\Config”, thanks for the information.This is very strange. As if it removed or renamed Falcon writes a fresh copy with “basic” details.
Have you gone through your setup pages and set things to your liking ??
AND did Falcon remember those choices ???

RE: BMS 4.34 crash on launching the game [Solved]
Again , no PC or OS or environmental details. Its like pulling teeth.

RE: 801st/Falconers ATO & events
Been stuck in hospital for a few weeks , so the glad tidings of my early demise were premature. Just.
Better luck next time BMS
(just in-case anyone was worried) I know Sobie was, Yes I owe Him money.

RE: Fresh install from original CD and BMS 4.34 Hangs at Falcon BMS splash screen
Fresh install from original CD and BMS 4.34 Hangs at Falcon BMS splash screen. I can hear the music for the menu screen from the original game and that’s as far as I get
What has "Fresh install from original CD " to do with the problem? This “original install” has no influence on the quality of the BMS installation which is totally separate. If you try to install BMS over the top of Falcon 4.0 then there will be problems.
AND “I can hear the music for the menu screen from the original game and that’s” The original should not be running.
You need to look at the Install instructions for BMS again.

Honestly is this all the help you got Scorpio ?
Its been 18 days , whats happening ???

RE: What's up with those rumors
At low level, flying towards the sun, with the sun elevated at say around 60 to 70°… your shadow is under the nose. You cant see your shadow. You still have a sense of speed.
My Shadow is always under my nose, and there is no speed in the house, let alone under my nose.
Or is it a rumor.

RE: What's up with those rumors
I’ve been away ,
Is it true there is a rumor about a rumor ??
Is this even remotely possible ??
Are we speculating that it might be probable to know something more in a 2-4 week time frame. ??
Do I suspend my unbelief, time will tell.

RE: Air Mobile working well in 4.34
Cantoo has been managing Campaigns for many years so you will get some good info from Him.
Good to see you posting friend.

RE: Battle For Sinai 2.3.3 Force On Force Event
Who said it isn’t?
I could’ve added that as a disclaimer cause ITO developers definitely deserve a lot of credit, but everything I said is true.Not so.
As explained above by Archer and others BFS is a Campaign that is played out in the Israeli Theater Map
This fact takes no credit away from either group. But without ITO there would be no BFS.

RE: Kamov Ka-52K
Hi, I suppose, what I say is clean enough…
Anyway,
OK , So how much of Falcon is “Scripted”
Are you talking Gear deployments, air foil rotations & deflections. Weapon release ? AI flight manoeuvres ?
What part of Falcon is Scripted ?

RE: FPS - any advice?
Many thanks for all your responses.
The resolution is 1920x1080 75hz. I have Vsync off in addition to mulitisampling.
I have used the TEs within Korea and the campaign has been Balkans. Is it likely the FPS draw is specific to Balkans?
One other thing is that my monitor uses Freesync. Should this be switched off?
I had to save on the RAM but could change this…Will look at the O/C but am on a stock cooler.
All responses appreciated.
If its summer there then there is a good chance its thermal throttling, so get a CoolerMaster EVO 212 cooler, good and good value.
Jump into your BIOS and apply the Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) for your RAM. if you can even push the clock a tad more , all the better.
I’m out of here. :bolt:

RE: FPS - any advice?
Well, I think we are talking apples and oranges here then. If I measure FPS for the sake of measuring FPS then I will choose a very lite TE and try to measure at places where “special factors” will have less effect.
Yes you are, “special factors” is what your looking for while you may be involved in changes to implementations or other change to how Falcon works. Additions & alterations to the Application. A very specific, stable & reproducible results TE is what you need. But that is not Lodestar’s situation.
Example of what I mean specifically in the context of this thread:
If we want to help a guy to measure FPS, then we won’t send him to measure FPS in a TE in a busy airbase with 20 ACs waiting for takeoff, right? In order to get a clean measurement, you should create a clean test.- I TOTALLY disagree with:
This is exactly one of the circumstances that will be applicable. As none of us fly falcon in a dead TE. That’s your job.
And that brings me to another point. I took the trouble to produce results in what was a graphical TE so I could eventually show Lodestar comparable results of pushing His RAM faster. He will grab a few more FPS out of what is a very powerful Rig. And here you are trying to rap my knuckle.I’ll tell you what, in my daily job and also in BMS development, I’m involved a lot with tracking performance, improving, etc. 1 thing I’m sure of, you want to get a clean measure, you make it as clean as possible, then if you wish to find bottlenecks, you proceed until you find it.
“I’ll tell you what” Good one I-Hawk ! That hat is getting chewed. Do you think your the only one who has had to problem solve in a technical or engineering environment.
So, for me, when I speak of TE for measuring FPS, I mean something clean, I’ll even say “as clean as possible”. And in my books clean TEs should have EXACTLY (or VERY VERY close) FPS, immediate or average. I’ll even say that as I’m working on something currently that involves a LOT with system, HW and performance (I assume you understand what I mean), I havea couple of benchmark TEs where even slight moves from the “known FPS” at different states/areas/views of the TE, may put me on my feet and check what I did wrong or why this change or the other made such a huge effect. Good that I have not only BMS but also a much more dedicated App where I have even cleaner and VERY stable measurements of how much a change affects performance.
Bottom line - I TOTALLY disagree with:
I don’t have a problem with the validity of the methodology you use for the purposes you are using them for.
I DO UNDERSTAND. I’m not an IDIOT.If you run same TE, exit, exit sim, reenter sim and run same TE, you should get EXACTLY same performance. At least that’s what I see here.
Around we go.
One of the characteristics that Falcon and its derivatives is that almost every time you go up in the same TE or Campaign mission it plays out differently. Replay-ability.
:tjacked:
And that’s all I have to say about that.

RE: FPS - any advice?
I think remark about BMS restart is important.
For example in my Nordic TE (4x Gripen vs 4x F15 Agressor with custom winter textures) I have about 90 FPS (stable, just few acceptable drops when flying through explosions) on my intel HD3000 (i7-2670QM @2.2 GHz) - for first or even second time I fly this TE. If I run it more times it goes quite stable 25fps with some peaks to 75fps.
After restart I have 90 again.Wow that a big variation 90fps to 25fps & peaks @ 75fps. Some thing is seriously wrong.
-
RE: FPS - any advice?
No idea what that means
It means exactly as I stated. And I thought I was reasonably clear. It has nothing to do with the validity of the internal FPS counter !
As a TE progresses the FPS varies, I tend to put a heaver weight on the higher numbers and guesstimate a higher “average” FPS if I only view the counter.
When I actually record them over a number of runs using “Fraps” for example and then Average the results of all runs in a set then I get a reliable Sample.Every run of a TE is rarely identical. And does vary substantially. No matter how well one eliminates user input.
I though you would know this.
