Hmmm. A GF2 GTS 64mb here. Appears to be GFX card dependent to a large extent.

Could be. With an AMD XP 2100 cpu and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, I'm getting 85fps at 1600x1200x32 with 4x AA and 8x AF.

Still never got thing to work... It might be fun, but I will never know.

If you have a FF stick, there is a bug in DX9 that will cause the fps in Targetware to drop into the single digits. They're working on it.

Check your video settings. Most people who've said that it looked ugly later admitted that they were running in the default 800 x 600. Graphics may not be to a particular persons tastes, but the polygon counts are much higher than AH, the textures are much more detailed, and the terrain has a higher resolution. How exactly is it ugly? I hate the font they use, but other than that I think the planes and terrain look great.

And it does require more computer horsepower than AH, and a decent video card. Of course AH2 will be the same. Your not going to be able to play recent flight sims at a high resolution with all the goodies with a 800Mhz PII and a GF2 card. Targetware machine requirements are pretty similar to WB3 in my opinon.

While I personally think the wobblies are bad, most of it can be fixed by properly tuning your joystick. How many of you have actually setup your Saturation and Scaling? Try flying AH without setting up your sliders and joystick settings. I agree that Targetware needs a better joystick setup routine.

My setup is calibrated in both windows,AH,and by my CH CM.I have NO problems....except with this game.

I am forced to recalibrate in the game after EACH flight.

No thanks.

IF IT'S NOT SCOTTISH, IT'S CRAP!

Sox, read what I wrote again. It has nothing too do with "calibration", once you calibrate in Targetware one time, your done. If your having to do it more than once, its a bug and not one I've heard of before.

The problem is performing the sensitivity setups in the game. Particuarly the Scale and Saturation variables for Pitch and Yaw. This is the equivalent to setting up the sliders on the joystick setup in AH.

If you don't do this, it would be the same as flying in AH with the pitch and yaw settings at linear (the little sliders in a straight line like the default setup). Which would cause the exact same bouncy problems here.

I have to do it each and every time,but only for the stick.The throttle and rudder are fine...very strange.

Hell I downloaded TK last night and cant even get into the cockpit. Where is the manual for this thing and I hope it has pictures. Just getting the engine to start (which I didnt) is harder than chinese arithmatic..

It's not too bad for me... but I have no HOTAS, only a MS PP2. I ran it 1024x768, 32 bit with the biggest textures and get between 20 and 30 fps. I have an XP 2000+ coupled with an ATI 9500 Pro. What does get me is after a little while I run out of swap file space. The drive which originally had my swap file had about 500 MB free. It dropped to 32 MB the two or three times I did the tutorial "Takeoff-eh" mission. I have switched it to another drive with several GB free - that should do it. TR is quite impressive to me, accounting for the fact that it is done more by hobbyists (correct?). Will try it online later.

If you are running out of swap space, that indicates a bad memory leak in the software,..could also be coupled with some NULL pointers, as MS uses swap for NULL pointers instead of just crashing the program in XP now.
Either case, it ain't good.

I found the fix... "UNINSTALL"

Now this is a beta that's impressing me A LOT.

Yep, I wasn't sure if it was my fault for not making a big enough partition for Windows (98SE) or whether it was a memory leak. Didn't try it again yet... got some other things I need to tend to.
