Re: Test Drive Unlimited - No Xbox360 Controller Support

in Windows
After countless hours of tinkering, I've finally figured it out. Here's the tutorial: (If for some reason the below method doesn't work, download the Microsoft Xbox360 Controller Driver. Also, if you've installed Motioninjoy in your previous attempts, you might have to uninstall it.) 1. Download and …

How to turn one HDD into two in BIOS?

in Milliways
Here's the deal: I want to use Linux on my netbook, but I need Windows 7 for work and other stuff because of driver incompatibilities and such. I know what you're going to say: just dual boot it. Well, I could but here's the thing: when I try Linux, I usually switch between different distros until I …

Re: Web Advertisers cry foul over Ad blockers

in Milliways
How do you all propose sites get funded? Would you pay a per-visit/monthly/yearly fee to access your favourite web sites? That^ I do use adblock but I disable it for websites which I use frequently because they deserve the support. However, I often look for obscure, hard-to-find stuff on Google and …

Re: Video Gamma/Color Range Problem

in Milliways
1. I never install the driver for the display because the only thing it does is give you an adjustment utility. Positively useless since that is a feature of Windows itself. It doesn't matter because I wouldn't use it anyway. I want my picture perfectly neutral and unmodified or "adjusted" in any …

Video Gamma/Color Range Problem

in Milliways
I formatted my drive some time ago and installed Windows 7 x64 SP1, the up-to-date drivers for my hardware and all the software I always do. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary until I tried to watch a movie. There is a problem with the gamma or the color range or something. The dark areas are …

Windows 10 dwm.exe compatibility - Was It Fixed?

in Windows
I once decided to try out Windows 8 despite the huge backlash it was getting from the general public. I actually liked it. Once you get used to the new interface, all is jolly. I was getting ready to switch to that OS full-time and so I installed all the software I always use, set everything up and …

Re: Best WWI or WWII Air Combat Simulator?

in Milliways
Have you tried game "IL-2 Sturmovik" or B-17 Flying Fortress II: The Mighty 8th or Wings of Honour? I will be trying out IL-2 soon. I just tried Wings of Honour and despite what the descriptions might say on some websites, it's not a simulator. It's purely arcade. I will not be trying out Rise of …

Best WWI or WWII Air Combat Simulator?

in Milliways
Recently I've been trying out various air combat simulators. So far the one that I like the most, primarily for the flight model, is Microsoft Combat Flight Flight Simulator 2: Pacific Theater. The problem is that I find the campaign ridiculously difficult even on the easy difficulty level. …

Re: [Solved]Airfix Dogfighter - Win7 x64 Buzzing Sound Problem

in Windows
No, everything is fine and it has been fine with every single CDDA game since I learned that the CD has to be in the first drive for it to work properly. After playing the music tracks with a music player, it turned out that the buzzing sound was right there on the CD itself. The copy I had was …

Re: Video Game University

in Milliways
Good stuff. Let's face it: esports will eventually be considered equal to other sports. It's happening. And if there are schools for professional athletes, we may very well live to see the day on which a school for gamers opens. God knows I will sure be cursing myself for being born too early that …

Re: Video Game University

in Milliways
Huh... turns out there are people who see potential in the idea. Goodie, so let's try and do it. What's there so lose? Here's what (I think) would be needed: - A website or a forum. Or both. - A scripted form designed to automatically assign a student to a teacher. Alternatively, one could simply be …

Re: Is there such a thing as a robust mouse wheel?

in Milliways
This isn't exactly on topic but I believe it to be an important matter so here goes: I can tell you first-hand how it feels to be on both ends of the social scale. I used to be a very isolated person. If a person gave me a single significant reason not to like them, I didn't want to have anything to …

[Solved]Airfix Dogfighter - Win7 x64 Buzzing Sound Problem

in Windows
When I launch the game, there is initially no sound during the intro movies and then, in the main menu and during gameplay, there's a loud buzzing sound. The music and the sound effects play as they should but it's almost impossible to hear them over that noise. To try and correct the issue I've …

Re: Is there such a thing as a robust mouse wheel?

in Milliways
I'm another one of those people who have never had a problem with a mouse wheel. The mouse I use every day has to be around, like, 10 years old by now and the wheel still feels brand new. And I use it a lot. However, I think there might be a secret to increasing its endurance; I never, ever use the …

Re: Jane's WW2 Fighters (1998) Running Good!

in Windows
OMG! My childhood! I need this game, now! I distinctly remember that there were some graphics issues on Windows XP with some GFX cards. I hope that's not the case on win7. Edit: Nope. Works just fine on Windows 7 x64 SP1 using both D3D and nGlide.
