Screen Freeze. Consistent lockups when...
« on: February 01, 2005, 12:23:01 AM »
I have a lockup I can reproduce 100% of the time either offline, or online.

JU88's Bombing a town either in-sight or "Dive Bombing". Both bomb runs are done at or below angels 10. Salvo 2, with 50kg bombs. Hit the bomb release about .5 seconds apart while in a gentle right hand or left hand turn.

Is it just me or does this happen for you too?

Dan.

Screen Freeze. Can you repoduce this?

I can't reproduce it.  Does it happen with any other planes?  When does the lockup occur, as soon as you release the bombs or sometime after that?  Are you using custom sounds?

I suffered a complete lock-up tonight when a 234 blew up nearby. It required a reboot. I haven't seen a bomber related freeze in quite some time.

Sorry tp take so long to responde, for some reason I didn't get the notice mailed to me.

I have custom sounds, but not for the Bombs. However, the sounds for the bombs (release and Drop) are from AH1. As I restored the sounds folder from my AH1 backup. I have replaced a few sounds with newer versions since AH2 was released.

The lockup usually occurs while dropping the smaller capacity bombs on the JU88. Usually in salvos of 2 or more. Another detail, I would change salvo right after calibration, and wait until the last moment to open the bomb doors. The Lockup happens just moments after releasing the bombs. Once the screen freezes, the sound of the bombs dropping loops seamlessly and never changes in volume or pitch.

Guess at your post, where would I get *Just* the bomb release and bomb drop sounds without pooching the rest of my lovingly assembled sounds?
