    WOW !

     

    Thanks a lot Zat for the quick review ! I've been playing MW since MW 1 all through each one new release, so i m getting very excited about this new MOD :)

     

    I found Crysis on D2D for only 30 bucks and I really can consider getting it to test this mod :)

     

    Keep it up, if you discover new stuff, keep us updated :)

    Zathrus,

     

    I am very curios about this game, although I do not have Crysis (only Warhwead version and i heard is not gonna work on it).

     

    Would you be able to write a lil more about the "feeling" ? how commands react, if you were able to use a joystick, how the feeling in cockpit is and other stuff part of your experience.

     

    Thank you very much in advance :)

    Assigning STATIC IP & DHCP at the same time

    in Windows7 Help

    Posted

    Very well done :)

     

    Also, to simplify further more, you can consider this:

     

    Many standard Routers like Linksys, D-Link etc. already come with a restricted of DHCP address range.

    You can check that on the main page of your Router settings looking at the DHCP info and most probably you will see something similar to "DHCP Range" field.

    Usually these routers give 50 addresses to the DHCP and they are"usually" between 100 and 150, you will see that info on the router "overview" page.

     

    Once you understand what is the range your router is already using, you just want to assign an IP address to your machine outside that range, following the Viper instructions.

     

    This way you do not mess up with your router settings (which still requires a somewhat advanced understanding) but you just set your local machine address.

     

    Enjoy :)

     

    New gift! But it's all streched-like.

    I mean, a "stretching" issue is only related to the correct resolution.

     

    Set the right resolution (1600*900) on the windows desktop and ALSO on each and every one game you play and you are set to go.

     

    On the other side, if you are unable to set that resolution, it depends on your videocard. You never stated what card you have, but being playing quite demanding games, I do assume you have a decent videocard and any decent videocard allows a resolution of 1600*900.

     

    99% there is nothing wrong with your monitor. If after setting correct resolution you still have stretching issues, "could" be the monitor, but is quite a seldom situation.

    ok, Im not sure if you solved your problem already,

     

    however your monitor is a plug n play device, so it does not require any driver.

     

    Problem you have is probably due to the fact you installed your new monitor on your computer just switching from the old monitor (different resolution) to the new one and Win 7 did not recognized the monitor on the spot.

     

    To solve the stretching issue you have to be sure to set the resolution in win 7 accordingly with the max resolution of your new monitor, so called "native resolution". I do believe your resolution has to be set on 1600*900.

     

    To do this on Win 7, right click in an empty space of your desktop, then click on the menu where it says "screen resolution" and from the appropriate scrolling selection be sure to choose 1600*900.

     

    You also have to be sure to select this resolution for all of your games, modifying your settings within each one game.

    If in a game you do not have this res, just choose the closest one.

     

    That's it, you will be able to enjoy your neew toy with no stretching ;)

     

    Have fun :)

    MERRY XMAS !!

    About the javelin

    in ARMA 2

    Posted

    hi guys,

     

    I was thinking about the javelin implementation in Arma 2 and it seemed to me quite 'simplified".

     

    Then i found a post on BIS with these info

     

    Watch this video to see what a proper Javelin in ArmA2 would look like. Imagine the IR post processing layer in there as well and you get an idea.

     

    This video is the best reference on YouTube to what the gunner sees when firing the real thing.

     

    and then i found somewhere else is a MOD to make Javilin a bit more realistic.

     

    Are you planning to use those implementation or you like to keep the javelin the way it is ?

    EVGA X58 3 sli

    Nice MB, nice design.

     

    About this:

    EVGA E758-A1 3-Way SLI (x16/x16/x8)

     

    That means sofar you are using 2 cards it will use the full PCI express 2.0 which allows full datas on 16 lanes. If you will decide to add a third card, the third one will use only an 8 lanes data transfer. Honestly I do not think is a big of an issue when u have 3 powerful cards linked together, but however it's just to let you know that limit.

     

    About overclocking, you may enjoy overclocking right away, just be careful about temperatures. Succesful overclocking is a mix between CPU capabilities, MB capabilities and very good airflow in your case. Also you may consider a third-party CPU fan/heatsink if you want to push your results.

     

    If you are planning to overclockan I7, rememebr that processor is pretty hot on basis, so you may need a better fan/heatsink other than the stock one.

     

    Have fun and overclock "responsibly" :)

    SSD question

    in Computer Discussions

    Posted

    hi,

     

    i didn t play around with SSD yet but for what i know they are Sata devices and about the power it should be the standard Sata flat power. If you didn t buy an OEM drive, most probably an adapter 4 prong to Sata comes in the box

    Power Supply Cooler Problems

    As a generic suggestion from a technician, really not mess up with a PSU not working.. You are going to win a huge headache, a lot of wasted time and possibly no results at all.

     

    A specific paragraph on the A+ hardware qualification book states that if you have a fan issue wiith a PSU, you have to replace the PSU.

     

    So forget about the "Da Vinci" solutions and embark yourself into a new PSU choice. It will range between 40 and 90 bucks and you will be happy,

    well,

     

    I know many of you will laugh aloud, but u know what.. I got this one.. hehehahhhe I was thinking "oh well, if it doesn t work.. who cares.." and instead, is working great, clear and crisp sound, Stereo, but if u have a decent audio drivers you can set from your drivers the "surround" capabilities...

     

    It is what it is, but hey, u can t beat this price !!! hehehahhe

    So, get that, and use the other 100 bucks to another cool gadget :)

    Question about vehicles in general

    in ARMA 2

    Posted

    Ok, trying to familiarize with the most important aspects, especially about multy player.

     

    Where are the locations you have to go to refuel and rearm and repair your land vehicle?

     

    Same question for the air vehicles.. iis rearming and refueling on the landing strip (unreal but faster) or do you have to taxi to a different location?

     

    Is there at the base a "service and repair" hangar ?

     

    I saw on the battlefield some fuel pumps, so I can assume u can refuel there

    What about repairs and rearm on the battlefield ?

     

    These may sound silly questions and I m sure if i dig I can find answers, but honestly i m pretty sure your answer can be faster and straiight to the point.

     

    Thx
