In need of technical assitance to make this game enjoyable and worth the 5o bucks I spent last March. I do not believe it is my system because I have no problems running EAW or ACES high only with SDOE. Any help would be appreciated.
System: Cell 550mhz,64megRAMPC100,16 MEG CLBAnshee PCI, MSSWFF joy stick, Roger Wilco (for online play).
Prob 1. When res set to 1024 X 768 the screen
image shifts to the left after the game loads I then have to hit the Prob 2. This being my second joystick the first the MSSW and now the FFB model I cannot get the stick to react well especially when zoomed in on a bogie the plane bounces all over the darn place. This is with the sensitivity turned down to the bottom. I have no problems on the other sims I play.
Problem 3. Roger Wilco cutting in and out only on SDOE.IP: Logged |

Regarding the plane jumping all over the place... well, I'm glad I'm not the only one  Seriously though, I seem to cure the problem by ending all unnecessary bacground tasks running in Windoze. One thing about the "flutter" in my case is, that it persists with greater or lesser intensivity throughout numerous changes of hardware and system/software reinstallations. It affected also Warbirds and DoA  Aha, it's in the horizontal plane only, and gets really on my nerves, it's like somebody invisible kicking the tail of the plane, no visible movement of control surfaces accompany it. By "extinguishin" everything in the background (kind of difficult in an on line play ) I can alleviate it. As to the other probs, clean installs can make wanders... Good luck IP: Logged |

Pollock:I have the screen shift thing happen with my monitor on some software. It cures for me be decreasing the height and width of the monitor using the monitor controls. Maybe something else on your system but worth a try. I've never had any problems with my CH Fighter Stick so can't offer anything there. Good Luck! Ronin IP: Logged |

Hiya Pollock,Prob #1: If I remember correctly, there's a bug with SDOE when running a Voodoo or Banshee card in Glide mode at 1024x768. It isn't a problem in D3D. The problem seemed to be that the program was displaying 1024x768, but the monitor only changes to 800x600 mode. You can resize the image using Ctrl=, but you'll still be in 800x600 mode (but at least you can see the entire image). This has been fixed with one of the FSC beta patches (not the PlanePack beta). Prob #2: I don't have a MSFF stick, but I have heard people have had sensitivity problems with it. You might try the CTFJ utility from StickWorks ( http://home.att.net/~stickworks/ ). Also, there are some changes being made to the FF modeling in SDOE by Mighty to fix up a few problems. Prob #3: Sorry, no idea about this one... Good luck! Let us know if you're still having any problems...

is problem #3 just the head movement option within SDOE anyway, the plane judders naturally and unless you uncheck that options it simulates the judder by shaking the screen, I have it on all the time just for a lil more realism.. these old birds weren't smooth inflight, those engines pumpin away caused alot of judder through the air frame------------------

Thank you all for the prompt reply sorry I have taken so long to get back.
The 1024 X 768 problem is fixed with 1.5.1 patch, but I cannot join my squadron "the 91sT" hvy bomber group online because the beta does not link to the lobby they are in.
This renders the game only usable offline, which sucks.
For the unstable joystick I have loaded stick works, now i have to learn how to use it, if anyone has a config file I would greatly appeciate it.IP: Logged |
