  1. Great thank you. Didn't thought it would work. From what you say about versions, it seems like there really isn't much difference between them control wise.
  2. New Mig 29 flight model is really fun Thank you ED But i have to wonder... why 3 times control scheme ? After searching around the forum and web for the info about Mig 29 variants. And functions that in any way affect the game. Mig-29 variants differ by things like engine strength, availability of certain armaments and ecm ? I will honestly admit i am lazy to set the same thing, 3 times. :doh: I really don't see a reason for this. I think just one scheme with few keybinds active only for certain variant would do the same job. (Or Misc switch to enable/disable separate control schemes for each variant.)
  3. It wont launch even if you do not carry a gunpod. the second you deselect it or select something else. it wont fire. You have one chance to fire them. Select - fire - works Select something else. And go back, it wont.
  4. Depends on situation but you can learn to expect it and adapt. but for me Dora - If you move throttle lever too much. :-) any Helicopter, except ka50 thanks to coax (harrier is relax compared to copters)
  5. You taking it too literal. :megalol: I am talking about creation of informational field. Like it or not, we all are nudged to certain direction if we are bombarded by certain information long enough. This is well established for almost a century. Don't make the mistake of giving people too much credit. They are after all, just people. :smilewink:
  6. It is really interesting, Sukhoi and RAC-MiG could benefit from this. DCS attract enthusiasts, but don't tell me it doesn't attract people from military or even political background. Presence in such a high tech simulation could translate to exposure and advertising. It is not like they don't export these airframes.
  7. hmm do you have sensor select in correct setting ? ...i was shuffling my waypoints around a map alot lately :-) Although something is seriously wrong with axis for TDC slew for sure. Got that flimsy little joystick on TWCS throttle. And when i use it for TDC slew axis. It half the time doesn't work or reacts only when i am very precise with it. Like if it doesn't like both horizontal and vertical axis being used at the same time. (although when same axises are used via 3rd party software "Universal joystick remaper" for the same purpose it works like it should :-) So something does seem to be little weird with it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  8. I just figured something up ! I use slider on my throttle for zooming like some of you mentioned. However default "zoom out limit" is way too high. So in the past i have edited line: local gCameraViewAngleLimits = {25.000000, 110.000000} in file X:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Server.lua to lower the value. Which is how it is supposed to be. We aren't supposed to change module files. Although it worked for most planes, some were not affected. Like Harrier, for instance. The only way to limit FOV for it was to edit : X:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\AV8BNA\Views.lua But that will make your client not suitable for multiplayer and you would loose your setting after each patch. .. Now the important bit. I was looking at the X:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Server.lua and i noticed it didn't have harrier module mentioned there at all in the file. Just for fun i copied entire sequence for mirage (since its razbam also) and changed the name string to harrier's ... figured it got to be same as folder names are so : ["AV8BNA"] And guess what? it worked :D

    Rain Effects

    The other day i was siting on the runway and did the same. Do try to roll around they even slide over the canopy in wind direction. :-)
  10. Yup same here. works really weirdly with axis. linked thread seems outdated compared to this: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3464605&postcount=8 "DMT axis control enabled" or lately: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3493113&postcount=10 "IR/TV Mavs axis slew is now active. " or are we talking about different things :huh:
  11. Hey man, Razbam sold you a used plane. ... as they did to all of us :smilewink: Previous owner didn't have closable pockets So all of his junk was flying around in cockpit. And scratched the window. I can offer you one from my collection of slightly less used canopies https://drive.google.com/open?id=1aiNGAPm8DJGOiFQ8y43QpTUFNGgqx2JD Use with your favorite Mod manager. :thumbup:
  12. ahhh... :-/ ...and navflir is useless as well. Ok following the David's advice i modified similar line in Hud folder as well. Modified files for those that don't wont to do it themselves. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3240054/
  13. My condolences to the family and the Eagle dynamics team.
  14. Hmm.... stutters - it might seem silly, but can you please try to disable V-sync (make sure its not on in gpu driver settings) and tell us if it helped ? Yes ignore the screen tearing. It is just the test. Long pauses are let me guess in multiplayer right? ;-) I noticed it usually happens when player with new(as not yet seen in match) type of plane joins in. Game needs to load the model texture and so on. Resulting in pause. You can minimize this by manually preloading all textures into a memory. How ? Encyclopedia ;-) look at everything and watch your mem. usage. hope it helps.
  15. I believe that also. Any effect on load would most liely be negligible.... I do believe we are looking at it from the wrong angle. Replay is most likely corrupted because its has such a low priority and when system needs to focus on gameplay it just starts dropping frames for something unimportant.....like replay data recording.
  16. I beleive he meant it as: "Since it doesn't work properly it has no use for me, can i turn it off to ease CPU load?"
  17. Oh i use asus utility for fan speed settings based on temperature. I guess it is the pretty much same thing. My profile works fairly well unless i "burn it" with synthetic benches. With likes of furmark (and non fps limited games) after a while the heat accumulates and it will just crash itself to prevent damage.
  18. Greetings I have noticed few hard crashes on 2.5 Open Beta After some investigation i found it was GPU overheating. I knew about R9 390 being bit hot :smilewink: while playing games. I solved this issue in other games by: - setting up custom fan speed profile - setting a frame limiter in Radeon settings for 60 FPS However for some reason DCS is not detected automatically by the software, neither is it respecting global radeon settings. For example in 1.5 i used morphological filtering as a form of cheap AA But in 2.5 it is also not applied. So DCS essentially became a furmark :) on my pc .....runs at max fps it can and burns and burns until system just stops due to overheating. What i tried 1)V-Sync works, but ! It is causing lot of stutter during lowflight :( 2)Creating autoexec.cfg (with proper coding) in my x:\Users\<YOUR-LOGIN>\Saved Games\DCS\Config\autoexec.cfg as instructed in graphics_readme.txt and writing this line in it. "options.graphics.maxfps = 60" And i sadly have to report it absolutely 100% doesn't work. :) 3)So i became a naughty boy and did exactly what i was told in "graphics_readme.txt: not to do... And edited game file "DCS World\Config\Graphics.lua" and the line "maxfps = 180;" to smaller value of 60 This seems to solve my problem. But the issue is still there waiting for others.

    mission 3

    Got back to this neat campaign in 2.5 beta. And i have noticed during mission 3 in the ILS landing practice. During Flight lead's speak about the ILS system, if player activates the dialog (let me know when you contact Vaziani) Lead talks but switches dialog pages so quickly that he speaks over himself. Could be due to my late activation just 20miles from Waypoint 6.
  20. My favorite would be KA-27 i would love to play the air taxi without the need of rudder pedals. Others : Sikorsky S-64, V-22 osprey. .... perhaps X-29 or X-31 but i guess they would not have much use.
  21. Had fun around dam in nevada. 2.2 visuals are amazing
  22. No problem mate. If you really want REAL boost do try editing those terrain presets. It is not hard. There is an old guide how to do it. Yes it is old (back when dcs was just black shark :) ) But after reading it you will have better idea about what you are changing. Oh and instead of editing file stated in that guide, edit one of those those terrain files. Here is that old guide. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEwiFrvyzrN3YAhVFZFAKHeo8AswQFggpMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fforums.eagle.ru%2Fattachment.php%3Fattachmentid%3D35686%26d%3D1264467632&usg=AOvVaw3jyD6zDCCwVvo-yGEfUROO
  23. Hi there Here are some very basic tweaking advices: ALL Textures = Max - this does not affect fps and you have more then enough Ram and 6 Gb Vram, is ok i would say. (if you are not experiencing hiccups, max it) Visibility range = biggest culprit when it comes to GPU performance. If you are bold enough you can edit files for each preset (make a backup ! In dcs world/config/terrain/files - low,med,high,ultra,extreme ) I would love to have separate menu for this because it encompasses so many things. But anyway if you have bad frames try Medium. You wont see the difference. All the presets are overdone anyway. Even low. Resolution = It is kinda big you know 3 monitor setup or some ultra wide, right? This is the big one. Water = water is known to be bit of a frame eater... so at least one step down. Shadows = i would go with medium. But it is not such a difference in fps. This is coupled with setting on the right. Resolution of cockpit displays = if you are using mirrors or some mfd display for skval or some such ? Experiment with different presets, but lower settings are perfectly fine for both and you should see some difference in frames. When i turn on mirror or mfd camera in 1.5 my frames are cut in half. Strangely not in 2.2 Antialiasing - You should be better of using nvidia drivers if i am not mistaken. HDR/Deffered shading = if you like the look of 1.5, switch to hdr (needs restart) but get used to it its the main thing of the engine switch no point in getting used to something that will go away i would guess. (but you should see a boost in frames Grass = Dont worry max it i doubt you will notice difference in frame rate Trees = i find it funny that you have visibility set to extreme but trees to 15Km :-D Gamma = if you need to adjust brightness this is the one. Anisotropc filtering = Why on earth do you have that turned off ?:doh: It has ZERO impact on performance ....it used to have in like year 98..... it doesn't these days, not anymore. This is what it does: Fullscreen = go for full screen, I remeber people posting this to be the issue for them. V-sync = Try disabling it ...if the tearing is tolerable, it should give you some boost.
  24. Both will be great but... Air to air and little bit of air to ground ---> Mirage Air to ground almost exclusively ---> Harrier (remember you do not have a radar) This is very, very pretty frogfoot, that can hover. Go M2000 she is way more developed i would say pretty much finished. Av8b is early access. Will be great once finished, but you would not be learning ...more of a guessing. Btw mirage just got new fancy flight model. And it is devious little bird.
