Hello again,
I *was* using "generic software" which I changed to generic hardware and now the sound is crystal clear and very very pretty.
I also realized that the cutscenes are not what I thougth they were. The little animations within a box and a small dialogue is the cutscene correct ? Not an FMV or a full screen animation or somesuch?
ATM I am using launcher 5.5a, I will do a search for 5.5b. 5.5a is the one that came with the uber windows pack of 3.6.9_open, all the exe's and the launcher.
I've also decided that I really need a good joystick.
Do the missions get any longer ? I am attacking the SD Ravana (which is f#!@ing hard!) and up to this point the missions have been pathetically easy and short. (under 10 minutes, barely a hit on me). I kinda had this image of FS2 being like the old TIE Fighter, the first space sim I ever played and I *loved it*. Deep involved missions, challenging (at least if you turned off all the helpers, like invulnerability), longer game. It kicked booty.
Anyway, off to shower and then kill that shivan warbeast! ( I will check this also)
PS: Which of the 3 bombers do you think I should use ? I've been using the bonagers and I've lost hardcore the last 4 times. I was thinking the medusa because it looks neater than the ursa ;Þ
