Thanks - are any of the features something I want? I'm at the default which is "nothing selected." I did put in the -fov 0.39, I'll see what that does.


Most of them, actually. Glowmaps, specular and mipmaps at a minimum. Also preload mission sounds, enable 3d warp, and enable flash on warp. After that, just add features to fit your hardware.

Also, that video on the list uses the -no emissive light tag, which makes things REALLY dark. The game looks fine with the ambient factor turned down a notch, especially the glowmaps.

Any tips on joystick buttons? It auto-selected a bunch of them. The only thing I changed so far was putting the throttle on the Z-axis throttle slider on the joystick.


Just remember the game has every joystick button you could want, not every button you need. If you have a thumb button on the stick, I generally use that for afterburners. Make sure thatyour button for countermeasures is one you can hit at the same time as afterburners. One binding that will become insanely useful down the road is "Target nearest bomb/bomber."

Now you've got me wanting to play a few missions tonight.
