Came across this while searching for a program that draws better arrows than MS-Paint. Should be very useful for mission-builders and V.-squadrons to illustrate tactics and mission-goals. Its free-ware: http://www.theoverlaymaker.com/

Just the night hunt mission with some military themed background music from tears of the sun, and the peacemaker. Enjoy! Love this type of missions where you're the only capable to get the escapees.

hi has anyone export. Lua by PVI, UV26, EKRAN for BS2. for the second screen. thanks

They will delete the thread if you post the results. :( But the file location is DCS A-10C\Bazar\Terrain\A-10C\Maps\ TAD_Collection.zip

Just had a look at how the program is started. The default command-line arguments are: java -mx512m -cp .:overlay.jar overlay.OverlayFrame Now Java has a safety mechanism that limits how much memory a program can use (very important for servers or programs downloaded from the Net - and Java is designed to be very safe in this regard). The -mx512m command line options tells the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that this program is allowed to use a maximum of 512 MB of RAM. If any more more memory than that is request the program will try and 'garbage-collect' to recycle unused RAM, but if that recycling of memory fails the program will fail. From the 104th Phoenix moving map I see that the memory required for the (huge) unpacked map with antialiasing is around 1024MB in memory (plus some more for the rest of the program). So I tried running the program with the following command line and loading the TC-1 map: java -mx1512m -cp .:overlay.jar overlay.OverlayFrame which allows the program to have up to 1.5 GB. The map did not get displayed, but I also didn't see an out-of-memory exception either. Some other things I should mention about the program (as a mostly-Java dev I couldn't help noticing). The developer has embedded directory paths of "\" which means the program can't find some resources on my Mac. He should have used File.separator instead (which works on Windows, Linux, Mac, Solaris etc by sorting out what character it should be). Also a simple 'manifest' file would have allowed you to double-click to run the program instead of having to specify overlay.OverlayFrame for the program entry point (Java programs can have an arbitrary number of entry points). It is surprising this wasn't done as it is very easy to do. I hope anyone else developing Java programs learns these tidbits on how to improve your applications.

Я знаю поэтому и пишу.Никогда не строил из себя святого.Уже исписаны не один десяток постов мною здесь насчет лодов и видимости,радаров+другие форума.Но MG всегда сбивался,ВСЕГДА.:)Летал и на 104 и на 4С но там не та атмосфера для меня .Ракета туда -ракета сюда.Да и к палубе больше тяготею,на VNAO больше тянет.Я и говорю сервера должны быть разные на любой вкус. П.С.Никого не хотел задеть.Уважаю любую точку зрения и интерес.

You're very welcome Mule. The idea behind sharing this was to inspire and show people that electronics need not be such a mysterious place. This is fairly basic stuff in the scheme of things and I'm glad people not only appreciate it but that they are also are inspired and even add to the great info in this thread. Looking forward to what you come up with.

Разница между IDE и AHCI ощутимая, у меня, по крайней мере даже на HDD. Тем более для SSD! В режиме IDE у многих SSD не работает TRIM. А это существенное снижение производительности и ресурса.

125dollars is nothing, one night in bar or so... Best tanks sim ever :) -haukka81

Hi, I am new to this forum. My wish list for DCS's next project would be F-4 Phantom or F-14 Tomcat.

Nice, thanks for the reply Peter :thumbup: Sorry about missing the already excisting thread ....

Make it server-side. Allow the server to accept mods at join-time with a file-matching process. There's no need for ED to micro-manage. There will be purists who don't want to play modded. (Probably a majority.) There will be others who can find endless use for a mod-able simulator. Like me.

That was a fun game! :D Even more undeniable proof: http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=F-15&word2=F-18 Ooops. http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=F-15E&word2=F-18C Ouch.

Hey listen! I have important news regarding the next DCS module. When looking through the comments on this video I found none other than THE Matt Wagner posting the following comment "Very nice. Will it model TFR/GM/RB radar modes, Pace Tack pod, and weapon systems?" I find this to be definitive proof that the next module is the F-111. American, check Fighter, ehh, close enough fixed wing, almost? See, it all makes sense now. There were so many signs, I can't believe I never noticed before.

There should be no "=", so the line should read BTN T7 /P boataft /R boatcen

It was in A-10C since day one.

Мне думается что отсюда ноги растут. Попробуй Win 7 64.

Where does it say that? From what I know they harrassed the SAM/AAA sites earlier that day prior to the air strike against the reactor. Which incidentally Iran had already made an attempt to take out and both Israel and Iran were working together to take that reactor out. You might have the missile battery mixed up with another raid Israel did years before where they captured and stole a Russian made search radar which involved some speical forces capturing a radar and then some large helicopters flew in and picked it up flying it back to Israel.

XKCD 980 - Money Chart http://xkcd.com/980/huge/#x=-6400&y=-8960&z=1 All those people who thought that $20 for an *upgrade* of Black Shark is too much. This chart will help put it all in perspective. I especially hope that those of you spending (on average) $1320 on your smartphone annual bill without blinking but have the gall to complain about the $20 for the upgrade (or worse, complain and then try pirate it) will read the chart and have a think.

I suppose everyone is different, I personally started from scratch and learned using those tutorials, this is why I have an affinity towards those tutorials, Within a week I was comfortable and confident with the aircraft. For the diehard enthusiast or people that have a background in aviation may find the tutorials rudimentary but for those that are not need to start somewhere. The tutorials may seem a waste of effort if they are only used as a stepping stone but it is a necessary stepping stone... A strong tutorial and minimizing the effort for research and learning may help the DCS community grow, as I have seen countless people give up before they can even begin to enjoy it... Im just lucky enough to enjoy the learning curve... :pilotfly: BTW The tutorials in A-10 are excellent for the noob ! As not everyone has the resources / documents to study up on....

There's also high quality versions of the original BS1 training videos to be found here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=723940F5AE9B07BB
