Yellonet Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 If you regard this as a "game" then I can see why you think it's a bit dear. :music_whistling: Well, yes, as I play it for no other reason than pure entertainment it's in this regard no different than any other game to me. But yes, simulation is perhaps a more correct term. Anyway, the word game is no derogatory term, after all, Chess and Go are games. i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prophet Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Am I the only one that has these DL problems? 1) The FTP Servers request a login which doesn't work. 2) The HTTP 1 Server link takes me straight to the DCS main page 3) Only HTTP 3 Server is working veeeery slowly. I concur. HTTP3 was the only one working when I started, and the speeds were pretty good about 300KB/s for the 3. No I got the 500MB one but the other 2 are going at 40KB/s. But I guess thats what happens when everyone starts finding out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druid_ Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 What are you saying you mean with only 507mb of dedi memory it barely meets the minimum. Guess I'm out. i can't afford another video card.:cry: i never know which memory to look at for a graphics card: dedicated, shared, or display? i got the figure from dxdiag I can't quote for ED but I am almost certain they mean DEDICATED memory. And from my brief research your card has 512Mb. i7-7700K : 16Gb DDR4 2800 Mhz : Asus Mobo : 2TB HDD : Intel 520 SSD 240gb : RTX 2080ti: Win10 64pro : Dx10 : TrackiR4 : TM Warthog : ASUS ROG SWIFT PG348Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilBivol-1 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Once you have the software installed, I would suggest first navigating to the /Doc folder and opening the Quickstart manual. This will be the quickest way to learn some of the basics and give you enough info to start shooting stuff. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy. Everything takes much longer.

Prophet Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 The torrent is going pretty good, 250KB/s. If more people jumped on it, it would go faster. Make that 450KB/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellonet Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 $60 is very reasonable given the relatively smaller user base and complexity of the sim (long development time). If you were a military quartermaster you'd be paying a *lot* more per seat for essentially the same thing. Now, time for ED to let us know what comes next in the DCS series (just kidding). Also please remember this is a beta release. Bugs *are expected* so report them calmly and precisely so they can get fixed. Yeah I knew I'd get shot down for this... Yes, $60 is reasonable, but I still think it's a bit on the high side. Sure, for people who know what they get it's a reasonable price, but for the mass of casuals? A yes, paying to help with bug swatting... a bit like buying t-shirts with brand names on them, paying to do the company's job.

sweinhart3 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 sigh of relief thanks sweinhart. 1 question though that 512 was for minimal requirements and that is to be run at max? huh? Even if you had less than 512MB dedicated video ram the game would still run. In the event of not having enough video ram, the system will have to use main system memory to make up for it but would still run.

Druid_ Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 odd it shows it in dxdiag as 507mb Do some research. It does look however like a lot of ppl with 512mb cards show 507mb in dxdiag.

Yellonet Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Do some research. It does look however like a lot of ppl with 512mb cards show 507mb in dxdiag. Why, I don't know. They might have laptops, with those it's common to have graphics cards that share the regular RAM with the CPU, and if it has 512 MB reserved it might be using 5 MB in this case for displaying the image. i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
