Somebody stickify this please!

I probably won't be able to find it after the weekend.

Escar,
Great post! I have printed and am in the process of trying several of them. So far, so good. A big THANK YOU! to all of you who have been sharing your knowledge. It's a big help to newbies like me. I would suggest on the "change label colors" tweak that you do not max out any of the numbers to 255; my experience has been it locks right up as soon as the labels would normally appear in the mission. Regardless, it's a great tweak...

STICKY!!!!

Great work Escar

Escar!
Do you have by a chance any skins of our Polish migs? If yes hook me up with a link!

Nice job Escar !!

I have pretty installed many of these tweaks and they really help.

how hard is it to make this a sticky?

"10.) Set game to 16 bit color."

This has been disproven if you have a high-end card. In fact, it will LOWER you framerates if you have a real strong card like a 9800XT.

It should read "10.) Set game to 16 bit color. (low end users)"

Let me see what I can people about getting this to be a sticky. It is good stuff.

Thanks, for making it a sticky. I just hope that no troll is going to spoil it (if any trolls attack this thread I ask the mods kindly to shoot first, ask questions later, so that this thread is knowledge only. ).

I'll be updating my initial post whenever there are some new things to put in. Right now I'm going away and will be gone untill 16th. When I'll be back I'll dig through all new posts and I'll post an update then.

TekaTaka, I noticed your new tweak, but since right now I have no time to read through the forum thoroughly, I'll put it in when I'll be back. Very interesting tweak nevertheless.

Echo, I have one Polish Mig skin. PM me with your e-mail adress and I'll send it to you. It's over 3 MB, so I'll split it into two e-mails using OE built-in option. You'll be able to combine the file from withing the OE.

ps:
I'll also read through all your remarks regarding those tweaks and will put additional info in brackets next to each corresponding tip (expl. 16 bit color thing, etc.).

Edit the config file, and replace dxrenderer.dll with Renderer = "nv4_disp.dll"; ( or whatever dll that works with your card). Now remove or rename DXRenderer.dll file - since its no longer needed- .
Try to start the game. <period>

In think that's true. If you change the DLL, you can check the error.log file in the Lock On\Temp folder. I got:

LoadPlugins: Can't load module ati2dvag.dll

(which I did copy to the Lock On Folder)
So the game just loads DXRenderer.dll.

OMG ! Now THAT is a sticky. Thank you very much !

The effects of ZweiBlau.DLL; **** Vid Card users only

This has already been covered previously, but I thought I'd give it a bit more substance, so here goes:

I was bored so I thought I'd try and squeeze a few more FPS out of LOMAC this morning. Anyway, I sifted through this thread and converged on this line in the LOMAC/Config/graphics.cfg file:

Plugin2 = "ZweiBlau.dll";

By disabling this (sticking a // in front or deleting) I managed to pull out ~12 FPS static (in-cockpit) and in general a heck of a large FPS increase (looking underneath the A-10 at the sky gave me around ~120 FPS .
The catch is that this DLL controls a lot of the environmental effects rendering - gone are the frilly clouds, the nice sun and the graded sky - you now have a single-colour sky, just like the old days. Speed comes at a price.
However, for those needing an assured 10+FPS boost, this is one to go for if you haven't already.

The idea of improving and tweaking FPS on such a simulator is just great:
- a development team works hard, long and painful to make the most realistic and beautiful flight sim ever.
- a gamers community works hard to make all that realism and graphics quality get down down and down...

Is the world not beautiful ?

p.s. I don't say that's stupid or that people should not do it or so, I also have FPS problems, but that's just the idea that is wonderful.
