In which circumstances the Su-25/25T's EOS (laser rangefinder) can be damaged by manoeuvering?? (because i assume that sometimes the way i control the plane causes EOS damaged) Could you be a bit more specific?
By damaged, do you mean that it is unusable for the rest of the flight, or do you lose lock and have to re-acquire? As far as I can tell, there are limits to the speed with which the laser can be re-pointed. Hence, if you roll, pitch or yaw your plane faster than those limits, you will lose lock. Could you be a bit more specific? By damaged, do you mean that it is unusable for the rest of the flight, or do you lose lock and have to re-acquire? No, not unusable, in this situation i think Electro-Optical system is really damaged State: after some heavy maneuvering evading IR missiles or trying to turn back to ground target location or something likes that.
Suddenly i heard the sound in Russian and the warning 'EOS Failure' flashes on top left of the screen. Inside the Su-25 cockpit, the green light flashes uninterrupted and there's no way to re-activate EOS (Shift-O) it means EOS really failed and laser guided weapons are useless. If i am not mistaken.
If you leave the Laser on for too long, itll overheat, thus breaking, thus becoming worth and useless for laser guided weapons! I always 'tv' my targets, as soon as im in range, turn ON the laser, fire the missile and turn off the laser once the missile has impacted, not sooner not later. Also i think having the laser on can makes you MORE visible to radar, or easier to spot. If you are on the ground and have night vision goggles on, and told the a10 in the air where your target is, at night, with NV goggles on, you´d see the laser.

Andrew McP This Starforce shite is worse than Microsoft's activation. At least Microsoft has 24/7 toll free telephone support if you ever have problems activating XP, like I actually had to do yesterday. And the funny thing is it was after playing a Starforce protected game that I had to reactivate XP.
Only other thing I did was install Winamp and on reboot I was informed that my hardware had significantly changed and had to activate XP within three days. Doesn't Starforce check your hardware configuration as part of it's copy protection process? This particular session of playing Splinter Cell:CT Starforce was taking an abnormally long time checking the cdrom.
Then I finished the game, installed Winamp, rebooted and got hit with XP activation trigger. Makes one wonder who is the culprit here. Winamp install or Starforce?
I'm thinking Starforce right now because of how Starforce works. I can't see Winamp install causing XP activation to trigger. I've emailed Winamp about it anyway and will see what they say about it. Someone said the reboot may have just caused a corruption and caused the trigger but I don't know if that's it either. The guy at Microsoft had no idea why it happened.

Thanks for your answer. I have found this with the help of people at SimHQ forums as well. I was in a pissy mood, but lockon.ru isn't very clear where to get it. You essentially get three numbers: a transaction number, reference number, and serial number.
The first two of which are readily apparent. The last was not. The FAQ only makes mention that one can find it on the page displayed after they made the purchse, which I didn't print out because my printer wasn't working properly, but they usually email you the stuff. Well the email didn't contain squat. Anyways, I'm done venting. Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.flight-sim On Mon, 23 May 2005 22:17:19 -0400, 'HockeyTownUSA' wrote: I agree.
I mean how many copies do you think they'll sell? A few thousand? That's probably what drove the price up to $35 as $10 is probably for StarForce.
Also, when I activated it said I had four more activations. Let's just hope that I don't lose my registry that I backed up.
And what else is that number tied to. I hope not my hardware because I upgrade frequently and don't want to have to worry about shelling out another $35 or even worse yet not even be able to play it in the future because ED goes under and I can't get a new activation code. If I had known all this I would have ordered it on CD if it is even available on CD.
I'd rather have to insert my CD for protection than to have to worry about whether or not my registry code is backed up. Not only that, couldn't I just take my registry key backup and give it to anyone else?
Sorry, I never used to worry too much about copy protection, as I am an honest consumer and protection was usually relegatged to requiring entering a CD key at installation and keeping the CD in the drive, no big deal. But this one just hits a nerve. I, for one, refuse to buy FC because I think it is way overpriced for what it offers. The games I have been willing to buy that contain Starforce are SHIII and Splinter Cell:CT. Niether have activation limitations. But as I posted earlier I'm wondering if Starforce caused my XP activation to tigger because Starforce does do a hardware check.
As for your 5 activations issue with FC, I read at SimHQ in their Friday update about E3 that ED have a file you can download that gets rid of the 5 activation limitations now.

The best example I know of is the '5 activations and you're out' limit imposed on the early buyers of Flaming Cliffs.

Another big one is if you made a significant change to your hardware configuration, StarForce doesn't like that. Well, the point is that the 5 activation limit was not done by StarForce, it was done by ED.

OK, good to hear. I saw a guy post on SimHQ quite some time back that swore that Starforce stopped him from being able to burn ISO's with Nero.
Maybe it's just with certain versions of Nero, maybe it's BS, I don't know. I don't think it is BS, I think it may be specific to certain types of hardware or hardware combinations.
There are some posting with these issues on the SH3 forum. I feel I got lucky. Don Burnette 'When you decide something is impossible to do, try to stay out of the way of the man that's doing it.'

What I am saying is you made many changes to your rig since the problem started and at this point we really dont have an answer just a guess based on a coincidence.
Mitch Yep - which is basically what I said to begin with - bottom line is I'm happy again and playing IL2 without having to wrry about locking up.

I'd put my machine up against an Alienware or any of those hot gamer systems offered today. My OC'd 3.81 (3.20E chip) runs just fine and no crashes/blue screens.
(water-cooling works!!!!) I've seen/heard of several AlienWare box's that eventually started crashing, and or had problems. It could easily be a PS, or heat problem, games have a way of bringing that out in a computer.Also, if the mb power section (PW temps) get too high, the computer will start.geezing.

Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.flight-sim Actually I am looking for a way to paint my Sub pink. Got most of the way into Scapa Flow and didnt find a single large ship except for the billions of Destroyers who seemed a bit angry with having a German sub in their midst. The Largest ship I have sunk so far is the C3 Cargo.
After 7 patrols I have sunk about 63,000 tons. Not very notworthy I suspect but fun nevertheless.

Or maybe it's random? Or insidious and slow? All I know is that I installed SHIII and then shortly thereafter GTR several months ago.
Everything seemed OK. Until a couple of weeks ago. When I finally killed the SF drivers and then rebooted - voila - no problems.
Chat back here if and when you finally have problems with it. Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.flight-sim 'Fisher' wrote in message news:[email protected].

JAmes You going to ask for your money back from Ubisoft on the Starforce game or are you going to take it up the ass like a pussy? That doesn't even make sense. 'Up the ass like a pussy'?
You're just weird.
