As long as the engine isn’t actively rendering waves, splashes and reflections under the ground terrain then it doesn’t matter, it’s just a big polygon which is clipped out before it hits the screen buffer. And as GA said, you can turn it down as with a lot of things. I am having a vision of the future………its coming………i can’t hold it in….. DCS: A-10 will use DX9. That’s 2 below an 11 and one below a 10. 8 more than 1 and sounds like a German “no”. The graphics will be configurable. There will be options. Some will moan about the graphics being too intense and making their computers run slow. They will be advised to TURN SOME SETTINGS DOWN. Some will complain about the graphics being too basic and not making use of their mega-sli-hex-core PC’s. They will be advised to PUSH ALL THE SLIDERS TO THE RIGHT. Some will bemoan the DirectX version and the loss of features that they don’t understand. It’s a lower number and therefore must be bad. When the next DCS module ships with DX11 many will moan that they are not prepared to upgrade their gfx card and how outrageous everything is. When the next DCS module ships with DX11 many will moan that it doesnt support DX13 or whatever version comes with windows 8. When the next next DCS module comes out with support for DX13 many will moan that they are not prepared to upgrade their gfx card and how outrageous everything is. Again.

Ты не поверишь...

Меня терзают смутные сомнения ;) Давайте вспомним "Акулу": вышла игра, все восторгаются, кидаются осваивать, но уже через пол-года в сети считанные единицы серверов для "Акулы". Основная масса вернулась в ЛОГС, а коробочки с "Акулой" отправились пылиться на полки. Реальный интерес к "Акуле" резко возрос только после выхода ЛОГС2, потому что "Акула" наконец стала новым персонажем общего поля боя. Не надо быть пророком, что бы предположить, что "А-10" ждет абсолютно аналогичная участь. :music_whistling: И еще посмею добавить IMHO, что ценность DCS как офф-лайнового симулятора немногим выше МСФС. У ботов реальные проблемы с интеллектом, воевать с ними и воображать себе реал - это мягко говоря наивно :megalol: Лично я в ЛОГС2 и "Акуле" не стал проходить ни кампании, ни даже все отдельные миссии. Так, посмотрел и махнул рукой. Для отработки каких-то навыков я сам себе создаю тренировочные миссии. И не я один. Настоящий ЛО - это он-лайн :thumbup: Я думаю, что разработчикам давно пора услышать "глас народа" и потихоньку уже набрасывать проект ЛОГС3, с выделенным сервером, с легализованными "нелетабами", восстанавливающимися статическими объектами (мостами, например), с нормально реализованной возможностью захвата аэродромов и прочих объектов, может быть даже с новой игровой единицей - человеком-наводчиком!!! А потом спокойно добавлять к нему новые разработанные машины, пусть даже без каких-то новых графических "плюшек" - черт с ними. Пусть будет вариант офф-лайн, красивый пожиратель ресурсов, и облегченный он-лайн модуль, который ляжет в общую линейку летабов для ЛОГСх, как еще один патрон в обойму :smilewink:

This is one of those subjects that noone will ever be able to read enough about, because there'll always be that one little bit of information that might save your bacon when things get messy in the mud. Theres countless documents and threads across the internet with regards to aircraft operation procedures and instruments, but very little to cover using it for its intent, a mean mother!@£$%^ hog with a mean mother!@£$%^& snout! So I'd like to use this thread as a repository for all the different resources you've read throughout your time as a groundpounder (simming or in RL!), that have helped you out on the battlefield. I know I've spent too many hours sifting the useful from the useless, and maybe someone like me will benefit from a thread like this, giving us all one good place to come and brush up on our skills. I'll list the ones that I know to start with, and update with any that you guys post! Before anyone starts ranting that any of these are outdated or what have you, remember, while the whole article may not be relevant, there will always be some useful information that remains pertinent to any aircraft, be it chucking rocks out of a paper biplane or firing a laser from the deathstar! With that out of the way, here we go! -A-10A/C Combat Tactics- Hog Basics: RAF Bentwaters Tactics Guide - 1982 - Andy Bush - A great guide which highlights many useful topics, such as formations, navigation and attack strategies. Mavericks, Rockets, and the Gun - Air To Mud Shooting In The Hog - Andy Bush - Some of these tactics will change with the new C Hog, but a lot of the skills will remain, such as ingress and spotting tactics. CCIP Bombing in the A-10A - Andy Bush - Again, written for LOMAC but there is some interesting reading that might be of some use to us! Combat Mission Planning Considerations, Part One - Initial Planning Combat Mission Planning Considerations, Part Two - Ingress, Attack, and Egress - Andy Bush - Fantastic in depth look at mission planning. Air To Ground Basics - Bombing Air To Ground Basics - Bombing, Part Two Air To Ground Basics, Part Three - Rockets and Guns - Andy Bush - Great 3 part introduction to basic ground pounding theory and practice. Flankertraining Rich 'Ironhand' Sorochak's fabled website, covering a great deal of subjects for LOMAC and general theory alike. Fixed Wing CAS Tactics - Interesting and very in depth overview of CAS operations and procedures. Close Air Support - Fas.org document outlining CAS in great depth.

CitiesXL 2011. www.citiesxl.com they're bringing this back from the dead. They made alot of promises with 2009 that they couldnt keep. Anyone who bought previous cities XL will get i beleive was a 50% discount on 2011 to make up for it.

Ok, so once again it's a DirectX 9.0 compatible card (no DX9.0c, just DX9.0) like the others who've had the problem, meaning, you cannot run anything above PixelShader version 2.0. The default NVG's are coded using PixelShader version 3.0 (the highest level supported by DX9.0c). This is the issue, before the patch it was using a lower version that your card was compatible with. I provided files in the .zip attachment to this post (linked) that will give you back PixelShader 2.0 coded NVGs to run on your hardware: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=959451&postcount=27 Give them a try at least; you can always replace them again afterward with the original files if they don't work. Chances are if this is ever fixed 'officially' it will take the same approach as I've done anyway. The files are text files not pre-compiled binaries, you can inspect them yourself and compare to your existing ones if that is a concern. I only lacked the hardware to test it myself 100% conclusively, as I don't have a card that is without 9.0c support (but I have tested it). I do expect it to restore the NVG visual completely as it should do. P.s. The files also only change the NVG shader files, any other pixelshader / vertexshader files for other in-game effects have their own files and won't be modified nor need fixing. These (NVG ones) are the ONLY shaders that got bumped up to v3.0 putting them out of reach of some users.

Well, this is the texture i've been using, sampled from a real road surface i can make those black bits vanish if peeps don't like them ;)

Turn off your ECM. More planning in evasion, less violence.

I see that you lack familiarity with the iPhone's resistance to receiving a good GPS signal and its legendary accuracy.

Then you may not be in a position to be saying it's not right.

если уж первым делом самолеты, то как раз то на втором месте должен быть онлайн, раз окружающий мир на заднем плане офф-лайн я тоже ни в ЧА ни в ЛО2 ни разу не играл, покупалось только ради онлайна да и в ЛО1 я тоже в оффлайне не особо то играл, ибо не интересно, диск валялся пока не появился нормальный интернет.

Congratulations to you!! @ all Thanks

Выход есть. Очень трудозатратный. Если интересно пиши в личку.

Да, вы уже писали об этом. В ваших рассуждениях почти все правильно, за исключением одной ма-аленькой детали. Это не серваки используют стиль "базар-вокзал", а сами вирпилы. Сервера всего лишь предоставляют для них площадку. И поступают так далеко не все вирпилы, а только их определнная часть (правда, самая заметная внешне ;)). Кроме этого есть и пилоты, которые объединяются в сквады, предпочитают "работать" группами, общаясь в ТС на "своем" канале, и тем самым заметно повышают свою эффективность, раскрывая для себя еще одну прелесть он-лайна - организованные действия. Никто этого за вирпилов не сделает, кроме них самих, это нужно ясно понимать. И предъявлять претензии тут некому. Очевидно, что вам просто не хватило терпения, чтобы реально оценить обстановку, найти контакты с "родственными" вам людьми, и вы решили запереться в офф-лайне, как улитка... чтож, это ваше право :smilewink:

В А-10С будет логическое ИЛИ, что упросит и разнообразит создание миссий. Будет также более сложная и гибкая система задачи целей и поведения для юнитов.

Falcon & Hawk, ultimate flying 'machines' (it's more amazing than funny but worth of watching definitely) Boobs of steel (I still can't believe) SuperMario back to school

Уважаемый, я рад вашему счастью, но как вы уже верно заметили, не надо говорить за всех. Если вы не вылазите в сеть и не отслеживаете, сколько вирпилов посвящают времени совместным боевым действиям (в том числе и с наземкой противника), сколько разных возможностей появляется при организованном взаиможействии тех-же штурмовиков, ястребов и Ка-50, то это не значит, что нашему любимому симулятору он-лайновая составляющая принципиально не важна.

Желтые полосы , а есть еще и черные - одно слово)) Если инет упал, надо два часа доказывать девушке оператору что поломка не у тебя а у них. После этого еще три дня будет спецбригада ехать что бы ребутнуть своё оборудование))) Провайдер этот совсем зажрался.

я уже давно говорил, надо делать упор на он-лайн, а они все думают как спаркам втрого летчика прописать

Quick comment - To use the Trimmer without the Flight Director on requires you to press the trim, manoeuvre to the pitch and attitude you want to maintain and only then release the trim. If you fail to do this (and do it very often) you will see uncommanded pitch and roll inputs as the autopilot authority is reset (ie stick position + 20%). This 20% reset is what you are seeing, and it will not show in the Ctrl-Enter indicator as it is the autopilot entering this input. The Trim is not intended to be used as a quick stab and release due to the coupling of the autopilot and the cyclic centre position reset. This is why I prefer to fly with the Flight Director on if I have any sort of manoeuvring to do. The Flight Director will allow you to use quick stab trimming if you like, as the autopilot is disconnected. Nate

The ones on the wing tip are not engines, AFAIK they are gear boxes run by the main engines, saving weight and fuel. Jet engine would only help on increasing cost and fuel consumption. Plus, the small correction needed would need very rapid rpm changes for the jet engines, resulting on compressor stalls and probably allowing the helicopter to spin several time on one direction before the pilot can corrected. Propeller, like the rotor, can give a more instantaneous thrust at low speeds like hovering.

Finally it works for Saitek, I have implemented the same with a slice deference ! At Press window, cut the released T button at 60,000 and paste it at the beginning of release window before zzxx sequence ! This way it worked for me like TTZZXX. Also use minimal timings as it is critical for the accuracy of trimming and bumping behavior PeterP thank you for your excellent idea. I have further improved the stability of flight using this trick.

Unfortunately for Saitek owners...
