Jeeves JAG	posted 04-20- 07:38 PM I'll add mine too The Doppler is great!! I really like being able to change the sky color in the mission edito now though-- just choose your color and voila! Now I have to play with the colors a bit, and the JPEG degrades it even more...but: Night Sunrise/Sunset (you pick!) ------------------ Brought to you by the campaign for a better Dauntless!

Jeeves JAG	posted 04-20- 07:56 PM Man...I just had the best offline experience of my SDOE career I set up a night mission with Mossies intercepting Ju-88's with 190 escorts....and as I am hitting the 88's in the beautiful night sky, 190's are zooming past me in perfect Doppler!! It was amazing!! BTW-- I set my sky to all blue instead of the layers and it looks much cooler We need those runway lights and stars now, Rend ------------------ Brought to you by the campaign for a better Dauntless!

ArgonV Pilot	posted 04-20- 08:34 PM Actually, wouldnt it be possible for Bryan to add in a "night sky" setting which includes a starry background as part of the enviorment?? IP: Logged
Pang Pilot	posted 04-20- 08:49 PM Try buzzing the tower while in tower view! Pretty fun! IP: Logged
Psi Pilot	posted 04-20- 09:22 PM Bryan, Thanks for all your hard work and it's great to finally have this for SDOE. I have tested it to a limited degree, where are we posting bugs? Thanks again. P IP: Logged
Snickers Pilot	posted 04-20- 10:11 PM Had to try this... was flying along in my PBY when my 2 plane P38 escort went by (one of the few planes with enough range to escort the PBY - well for part of the route anyway)... Weee Haawwww Patch IT!!!! (Yup, thats the idea ) Snick =V67= IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 04-21- 01:46 AM I didn't see the sky changer thing, going to do that now. COOL!!! IP: Logged
graymon Pilot	posted 04-21- 02:48 AM awsome,now just to fix the "radio"etc.also just a few graphical glitches ,eg sight now messed up with multiple sights and a face to aim through.a major move in the right direction. IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 04-21- 02:57 AM Jeeves, in your Sdemons.ini file what are your settings for FogNearClip=5 FarClip=10 FogDistance=2000.0 Those are mine and my fog doesn't look nearly as cool as yours. Thanks. Btw, here is a GREAT setting for a barely moonlit night. Skycolor, click sky color, then more colors at the bottom and set it like this... Red 0 Green 0 Blue 12 and for the fog black works fine. Then for Infinite light .025 Ambiant light .050 Makes for really fun night flying! Now if those pesky trees and shrubs would automatically go dark we'd be set. [This message has been edited by Pete Hawk (edited 04-21-2001).] IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 04-21- 04:04 AM Oh boy do we NEED LIGHTS now! This is so much fun, Bryan I can't thank you enough. But just think how much lights would add to this gorgeous night flying? Maybe you could come up with some gizmo that would allow us to check a box and if the ambient and infinite light gets below a certain value, your plane will have navigation lights come on. And to make things easy, just have a preset thing that finds the wing tips, mid fuselage (or close to it), and top of the vertical stab and puts the appropriate colored lights in their places. Left - Red Right - Green Vstab - White Fuselage Anti-collision lights - flashing red Of course with the option to have them all flash if you wanted. And then of course if we get these lights, then we could add search lights, dynamic lighting for when guns are fired, or a plane is on fire the plane gets dynamically lit. Oh I'm dreaming now, but hopefully you can keep working your magic Bryan IP: Logged
Nat JAG	posted 04-21- 05:02 AM I just sat for over half an hour watching a 4v5 mission (La-5vSpitIX), I sat there in FlyBy mode and just couldn't take my eyes off it, it's quitly simply awsome to have doppler sound with flyby in dogfights, I wish we could make good demo movies of that.. it was amazing. Guys, how are you getting the Patch Mission Ed to work??? everytime I save a mission with it it crashes (and the mission is corrupted)!! I want sky color aswell damit! IP: Logged
Harman_5 Pilot	posted 04-21- 05:28 AM Nat, videos in Avi format are possible, but without sound. ------------------ Visit FS:SDOE Online IP: Logged
bjorn Pilot	posted 04-21- 08:31 AM Goodness!!! You've outdone yourselves with this patch. Are we talking about the same old game? I noticed a new .ini setting: SunBlinding=1 :-) It looks truly marvellous, this one. _ /Bjorn. IP: Logged
Bryan Russell Pilot	posted 04-21- 08:59 AM The Doppler is why this patch took so long! Too many hours wasted in that damn flyby view! If you want a treat, copy the Meatwater engine sounds for the P51 to the lanc, turn the volume up and do a few flybys. That is sensational! ------------------ Wings with Wires Go here for info about the Unofficial Patch IP: Logged

Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 04-21- 12:41 PM Thanks Jeeves! Bryan, you really are outdoing yourself! You are going to be a legend in your own time around here IP: Logged
Nat JAG	posted 04-21- 01:38 PM oh come on, someone tell me why my Patch Mision Editor isn't working! IP: Logged
Rendsburger Pilot	posted 04-21- 02:16 PM Nat, if you only want to change the sky color open an excisting mission with notpad .Example: msnEnvironment ( msnDate "8/15/1945" msnCloud "strPartlyCloudy" msnWindVelocity 0 msnWindDirection 315 msnClearColor 142 213 255 msnFogColor 142 213 255 ) and add the colors you want to use by typing! But i have no idea why your ME didn�t work. Rendsburger IP: Logged
Pye Pilot	posted 04-21- 02:37 PM Jeeves is your fog distance 50000.000 or 5000.000? IP: Logged
Psi Pilot	posted 04-21- 03:33 PM Nat, I have the same problem with the ME and call me stupid but how do ya open a mission with the note pad Also Nat, Bore is trying to make a movie of SDOE, get ahold of him... P DOH!!! I figured it out For those that don't know how to open a mission in Word. Open word go to "file/open" then go to the directory that the mission's in and type the name of the mission in the "file name" box and click open. Ok thats all well and good but it still doesn't work for me and when I try "Save as" I get the "this program BS and this is the error; MISSIONEDITOR caused an invalid page fault in module MISSIONEDITOR.EXE at 015f:00422597.

Jeeves JAG	posted 04-21- 09:40 PM No idea-- but whenever I had the patch editor up, I would not be able to save either....it got to the point that the only way I could save a mission was if I started a fresh one through the unpatched ME... ------------------ Brought to you by the campaign for a better Dauntless! Jeeves =FC= IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 04-22- 01:41 AM I started a new mission in the new ME and it worked fine. But certain planes crash the program. And like the JU-88, when I save a mission with that in it, it won't show up in the game. But it's still really cool, the progress that has been made lately. IP: Logged
Jeeves JAG	posted 04-22- 09:23 AM Pye-- 50000 ------------------ Brought to you by the campaign for a better Dauntless! Jeeves =FC= IP: Logged
Loco Pilot	posted 04-22- 12:04 PM Fly-By, Doppler and sky colors is Amazing! I'm having Lots of fun playing this game now. I'm ansious to play It online. Thanks for all the good work done on the patch until now. It's another era for all of us. Loco IP: Logged
Psi Pilot	posted 04-22- 12:37 PM What are the system minimum requirements to use the patch. Obviously a P2400 is not enough! P IP: Logged
Sv JAG	posted 04-22- 02:08 PM Psi, The system requirements for the patch should be the same as the original SDOE. If there are issues, it is either a bug we need to fix, or an aircraft/mission issue. I think there are some known frame rate issues with the patch in certain situations that we are looking into. In theory, the frame rates should be better with the new patch. There are mismatch / CTD issues for on-line right now that are being fixed... as well as the doppler sounds effecting other system sounds like boggie calls and chat-beeps, etc. IP: Logged
Jeeves JAG	posted 04-22- 03:05 PM Psi... I am running a PII 400 MHz as well...with a Voodoo Banshee even ------------------ Brought to you by the campaign for a better Dauntless! Jeeves =FC= IP: Logged
Psi Pilot	posted 04-22- 03:16 PM Thanks Sv, Jeeves, Have you tried your 400 online yet Jeeves, I think you might be disappointed. I can not join at "Real Time" I can only join at 1/2 speed. I would be interested to see if others have had this problem with a less than state of the art system. I can't tell how long I've waited for the Doppler and I'm that I can't get this to work on my system. Maybe others could tell me if their having this problem. P IP: Logged
Jeeves JAG	posted 04-22- 05:52 PM Psi... Just tried to host my own game...and it appears you are right....the message even says: "Your machine is too slow to host at real time! Switching to half-time...continue?" Doesn't bode well for those of us too poor to buy a new computer.... ------------------ Brought to you by the campaign for a better Dauntless! Jeeves =FC= IP: Logged
Psi Pilot	posted 04-22- 08:39 PM Thats exactly what I get Jeeves. I talked to FAST a moment ago and he said the if I upgrade my memory it will more than likely solve this problem. I would like to hear from others on this matter before I go out and buy stuff. But on a high note memory is at about .50 cents a meg P IP: Logged
Snickers Pilot	posted 04-22- 08:45 PM I remember when it was $100.00 a meg!!! Wish the price of gas would do the same IP: Logged
Jeeves JAG	posted 04-22- 09:24 PM Dude-- I already have 320 RAM-- how much more do I need? ------------------ Brought to you by the campaign for a better Dauntless! Jeeves =FC= IP: Logged
Psi Pilot	posted 04-23- 10:25 AM Well that more than answers my question Jeeves. I'm running the original setup @ 64 megs and to this point I've never really seen a message that says my system is to slow. Maybe it's just a bug that causes too much of a drain on the resources (trying to think positive) Thx... p IP: Logged
Jeeves JAG	posted 04-23- 03:45 PM Yeah... I am sure that it could be a bug Can't imagine my machine not able to handle it-- it has done miracles to date...about the only problems I have run into is B-17II...but we all know the real reason for that.
