Just looking through this thread makes me itch for a bike but I’m behaving myself. (Oh yes I am). Some lovely ones here too. Always liked bikes but growing up my Gran would always make us promise not to have one. An unfair thing to ask really and it didn’t stop us getting into them. When I was about twelve the ol man had just been knocked off his brand new CBX500 on his way to work. Typical story, car driver pulled out in front of him from a side road and he had nowhere to go but over. He was ok (ish) but his bike was written off. He was gutted. He replaced it with what was to my kiddy eyes (wanting to be Ron Haslam or something) a boring looking road bike like this one I learnt to ride on it. Pretty quickly I learnt to love it. At the time the ol girl had a little 80cc moped for nipping to the shops and around town and everywhere we went we all went on the bikes. We didn’t use a car at all for a few years so we rode come rain or shine, even in the snow, we rode or had to walk. We’d go to race meetings as spectators and the minute we were on private land the ol man would let me take off with his bike. I was always meant to be getting my own for tracking but we’d look at one, try it out but there’d always be something that stood in the way. When I was about Sixteen my best mate was bought one of these We rode it everywhere. It was gutless but we had some great laughs with it. I still have a scar on my knee from a night with that bike. We were coming home late through country lanes in winter. It was bloody cold and we were in the middle of nowhere. I was riding with my mate whose bike it was riding pillion. I turned right into a lane and the next thing I knew we were sliding along on our side. I heard my mate ask if I was alright and I told him I was as we were still sliding, it was as if we had all night for a chat . I picked up his bike and checked it over, it was fine really, luckily so we were we. Until I felt my knee. I put my finger in the hole in my trousers and also into my knee a little bit. There was a hole in my knee I could put the tip of my finger in. It didn’t hurt a lot, scabbed up, war wound, job done. When we looked to see why we’d come off we found a massive sheet of black ice that we’d just hit, it was right on the junction. We couldn’t have seen it but should’ve thought about the temps outside. Taught me what black ice is, you don’t get any chances. The ol man swapped his bike in for one of these Still boring. I wanted him to get a VF750FII but he was having none of it. The 305 was quicker than the old one and I loved it too after a bit. After a year or two he sold it and bought another car and the biking in my life was gone for a while. I’d have a go of different mates bikes but still didn’t buy my own. Years later a mate asked me if I fancied going halves on a bike for a laugh. He could get a project bike cheap, we’d fix it up and flog it on after a bit of fun so we did that. It was one of these I can’t tell you the the amount of hilarity that thing brought us, it was ridiculous. We’d take it out all over and get into all kinds of trouble, I don’t know how we never did any damage but we got away with it somehow and sold it on after a while. A couple of years ago one of my mates brought his bike up and we went out for a bit. It’s one of these We’re all a lot older and supposedly wiser now so I thought we’d have a nice and sedate little run out. We did, the first time. He came up again and we went out for a longer run. He was behaving until we got on the carriageway and he opened it up properly. My toes poked through my boots trying to hold on to the pegs, I thought we were about to fly. I had to have a go . It goes like <profanity> off a stick. He’s toying with getting something else and for a while I was gonna buy his bike, it’s gorgeous. Thinking about it sensibly though I really shouldn’t so that plan went way onto the back burner. I’m sort of ok not having one, unless I stumble on threads like these. Then I start getting ideas about it for a while. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll sort another one out for myself. Nice reminiscing though. Ride safe all.

Я не пойму в чём прелесть нового выбора роли? Раньше было во весь экран всё видно кто в зрителях - слева область, вверху синие, внизу красные. Можно было в одном окне видеть кто на каком слоте. Я видел, что у синих на таком то слоте игрок, я проматывал красный список слотов и выбирал нужный, чтоб против него полетать. Теперь нужно сначала непременно выбрать коалицию в окне, которое по сути дублирует то же самое, что было видно при выборе сервера. Потом в мизерном окне проматывать слоты, чтоб понять кто на каком. Потом идти в другую коалицию и выбрать нужный слот. Окошечко это тормозит постоянно. Фильтры тронешь всё зависнет, а то и игра вылетит. Считаю раньше было информативнее и удобнее. По чьим желаниям решили так переделать? Какая польза от этих переделок? В чём улучшение?

А я думаю, в чем проблема тогда вопросов нет. Треки не смотрел, потому что нет возможности, а теперь и смысла. Я честно тебе скажу, ты перепутал сим, тут немного все по-другому.

Hi all, I'm quite a rookie with VR. I just start last month after years of using track ir. i have to say it's quite amazing experience. i recently upgrade my system for better performance but i still run in some problems. here is my system info etc. Motherboard: Asus Strix 790-F Wifi II CPU: I9 14900K GPU: Asus 4090 TUF OC RAM: Corsair Dominator 7200Mhz (2x24GB) DDR5 SSD: Samsung 990 PRO 4TB Heatsink. VR HMD: Meta Quest 3 with Meta Linkcable I already did lots of research for the settings from people with a similar system, but it seems that i still run in some performance issues. I noticed that i maintain 90 fps (most situations) with DLAA and DLSS Quality mode but when i am merging with a enemy the jet has awful ghosting textures like its almost a 2x or triple jet. when i turn DLSS off the ghosting seems to be a lot less but it's impossible to maintain that fps. i already turned the HZ to 72 but with DLSS turn off it is keep struggling to maintain fps. in the beginning of tweaking i read on forums that people crank the bitrate to 960, i did try that out but then i have continuously audio stuttering. now as i said I'm very new to VR so i don't know what to expect in nowadays vr gaming. so i was hoping you guys have some tips in tweaking my current settings which i share. Greetings

Hey everyone... Not sure if this was asked or requested previously, but wouldn't it be amazing if we could include the requirements for EOR procedures? Thanks

The Hamina-class missile boat is a class of fast attack craft of the Finnish Navy. They are classified as "missile fast attack craft" or ohjusvene, literally "missile boat" in Finnish.[2] The Hamina FACs are based at Upinniemi, and form the 7th Surface Warfare Squadron, part of the Finnish Coastal Fleet, together with the minelayers MLC Hämeenmaa, Porkkala and Pyhäranta.

Hi @Robin885, I'm not sure the video you posted is proof of a bug, as the maneuvers that can be seen are reproduceable on our aircraft (although it does take some adjusting to not having the stick moving at the same rate as your physical stick). For example, you can see the pilot overshooting the position he's aiming for by about 5-10º each time and then correcting, which is to be expected especially taking into account there is no dampening device in roll in this aircraft, and is a similar behaviour as what can be achieved in our simulator. Just to show this is not something we invented: we tested a pressurised F1 system and we could never get the stick in roll to go fully from left to right in less than 1 and a half seconds (more in pitch), this matches what can be seen in some videos (such as the following one). In the simulator the max velocity of the stick in roll is limited to 1 second from side to side, as we assumed that a pilot would probably be stronger, have more leverage due to the harness and have more adrenaline than we did when performing the tests. That being said, we will consult our SMEs on the matter and might consider a small adjustment based on playability reasons.

Hi together I would like to show two useful programs that I found on the web. RESWAD https://www.rewasd.com/ it is a payware with 7 Day`s trail. When you have more like one Keyboard, you can set some X Controller Keys for one Keyboard, so Keyboard one Key A is A and Keyboard two A is Controller Botton X so you can use two keyboards in the game without any interference good when you use a Keyboard like a Makro-Tastatur (must be a physical keyboard), Stream Deck will not work. the other program is XOutput (for free) https://github.com/csutorasa/XOutput/releases/tag/3.32 i use it for my Razer Stream Controller with vJoy i have some proplems somtime it will not work so i look for a alternative. with my Stream Controller i push F13 - F24 Keys to simulate twelve XOutput Buttons and Arrow keys, work good. sorry for my bad english I hope you understand it.

Should be this guy here: Alternatively, you can also start the DCS executable with the command --no-launcher.

There is a checkbox somewhere on the launcher that is ticked by default. Unticking it launches DCS in the old-fashioned way. Similarly, there is a checkbox in the DCS main options somewhere that allows you to re-enable the launcher. I don’t use the launcher so I can’t tell you exactly where that checkbox is. But I’m sure you’ll find it if you look around a bit: I found it just fine

7./JG 26 now live! Links in first post.

I have a up-date planned New gun doors animation and weapons.

Sorry Ali but I can’t let this one go. You’re not getting away with posting that without getting an honourable mention. Classic shot 70s for ya . And that plate looks bleedin lethal

New updates.. Simhaptic 2.0.81 and DCrealistic 1.0.41 working good so far.

I stopped playing the F4 because like most people said at this time Jester is just not fun to fly with. Many times I entered scenarios where I know where the enemy planes are but Jester simply can’t see / lock / find them. And then bam we are dead. I hope he gets a lot of improvement in the future. Love the plane and everything about it except Jackster at the moment.

Any plans please to add some British army assets such as the Jackal and Mastiff vehicles? Oh and also possibly a Rubb Hangar which were used by uk forces in Kandahar etc.

109G is the most important. So we can have actual somewhat realistic scenarios for 43 to 45.

Yes, I confirm everything is fine now, OXR Toolkit is working again. Let's not forget that the credit goes to @mbucchia which found the problem in the Meta code and reported it, pointing out where they made a mistake! Of course, we also caused some mess on the Meta Forum (as did the simracing fans), but the important thing is that he showed us the way !

I didn’t feel like entering the conversation, but here’s my take. I had the eagle and had it refunded. I’m still on the fence whether it was the right call, and I might end up buying it again sooner than later. I actually miss it sometimes. It was fun to fly and very capable in combat. I’m lazy so I missed the datalink the hornet and viper have, obviously a skill issue, but it made me less effective in crowded environments. Still, many regrets. I need a couple of drinks and I’ll buy it again

Считаю новые функции, а в частности новый выбор слотов провалом. В тех серверах особенно в Сирии можно было играть с 32 гб, а теперь нужно 64 гб. Потому что выбор слотом неведомым образом (Иглы скатились до школьного программирования - где то про это читал на англоязычном форуме о движке) тормозит. Учитывая фактор движка они явно накосячили. Старый выбор роли был намного лучше, с движком связан возможно, что мог просто получить список ролей без прямого обновления информации из сервера, а получается теперь сиди и жди, сервера без динамических слотов просто скатились по посещениям, это видно. Eagle Dynamics, прошу не вносить новые функции и вернуть старый выбор слотов. Либо обновите сделай похожим на старый. (Либо просто я высказал свое и следующий умник скажет - Это так надо. Так было задумано. Так проще. Вы делаете что-то неправильно. Это вы!) - устал уже... играю полгода, последнее конечно обновление... Серьезно Иглы не понимают? Вот фанаты и игроки не хотели дублирующих функций. Зачем дублировать? Кто-то там зарплату получил пади? Оптимизация движка, особенно сервер игры... Видимо я глупый, а они видимо умные.

Hi, sorry if it wasn't clear: Yes, the 990Pro is Gen4, and it is definitely not faster than the T705 If I've said something to the contrary I'm not aware of it - please point me in that direction. The table is showing how much of each PCIe version's bandwidth is actually used by the drives, as a percentage. It has been stated that one problem with new Gen5 drives is that they aren't using the full bandwidth of the slot, so they're not all that much faster than Gen4 drives. This is completely wrong, and my table was intended to show this with factual data (some people here on this forum seem to only know what they read in reviews, without understanding or testing the actual hardware first hand, as I typically do). Of course, you do have to consider that not all Gen5 drives are the same, any more so than all Gen4 or Gen3 drives. For every PCIe revision, there are drives that perform closer to the max bandwidth of the slot, and those that perform at a lesser speed. Nothing at all new about that, and it absolutely doesn't mean that all Gen5 drives don't 'live up' to the speed of the slot. This was more accurate when Gen5 drives first came out, a fact which so-called "reviewers" just couldn't wait to complain about - but those days are behind us. The table shows how much of the available bandwidth each drive uses - and should illustrate then that the T705 uses just as much of it's (Gen5) bandwidth at 92.06% as most any other drive of their respective, available bandwidths (more, actually) - one exception being a 990 Pro, which uses 94.58% of it's available bandwidth (on a PCIe 4.0 slot). The 990 Pro uses slightly more of it's max available (PCIe 4) bandwidth - but that's still only about half the T705's available PCIe 5 bandwidth. The T705 is still almost twice as fast as the 990 Pro in terms of read speeds. The 990Pro is limited by the Gen4 bus bandwidth to a max of around half the T705. I hope that clarifies things.

Uploading 7./JG26 skins. I´ll pause on the dora in order to work on some other projects. It wont be long but then ill be back at working on a 4k cockpit. Wait out.

Yes he has good knowledge of FFB so looking forward to his findings.

"So, in tandem to the other thread, I cant say enough how dissapointed I am to have shelled out more money for the supposed "cutting edge" tech and latest improvements in DCS terrain rendering....to get what is simply put yet another example of blurry textures laid over terrain mesh with -really, definition points measured in the hundreds of metres rather than the centimetres that I was getting in FSX 15 years ago......mountain ranges with dead straight ridgelines hundreds of metres apart....mountain sides comprising flat planes with low res testures pasted over. Repetitive low res textures with detailed areas plonked over the top with no blending. Its really, really dissappointing after the same crap in Kola and SA. Check out these screen shots. Honestly, there are areas of the Caucusus and NTTR that look better than this. Is this really 15 years progress in scenery development in DCS?" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I would have to agree with this guy. Doesn't look like they put a whole lot of work into this map. I flew it last night for the first time......I may as well go back to pretending that the deserts around Las Vegas are Afghanistan. They sure look as good if not better than this new map. Seems like every time I let my guard down and fork over cash to help the cause....I get what I pay for. Sorry ED......That's just the plain truth.

Hi very cool pictures you have. I was also 2009 in Afghanistan (Kunduz RC North) in the German Army. I want to share two pictures i made during my time there : don´t know which unit this was but it was used by US Special Forces ODA during my time. (edited but hey its funny, i spy this "varsity7" unit logo with #354 on my picture of the CH47!! ) same number as yours chinook. complete crazy if its the same chinook. Picture was taken on 12.09.2009 and this on the blackhawk : we used the CH53 mainly. We were very impressed to enjoy the blackhawk and chinook. very exiting day i will ever remember.

No, it isn't dropped. Some issues appeared late before release of the module and require some reworks and re-exports of a potentially significant number of layers that make up the final Photoshop PSD template. Even internally it required either a lot of manual/individual changes by artists to account for them, or we had to hand across our raw PNG files to be processed through the model directly. It's not a minor thing, and is requiring effort to correct, re-export, and rebuild the template layers. This also while trying to handle all of the initial release fixes/corrections, taking in feedback and further bugs or errors identified, and folks trying to take a well-earned post release breather. It's coming, it will happen, and it's a solid template with a lot of features and tools geared for livery artists by livery artists. It will be worth the wait.

Everything more or less worked for me a few weeks ago. The AI does a decent job. If AI flight run out of gas, you need to give them more bags. Or manually send them RTB via the F10 menu. DCS AI is not the most fuel efficient, you need to give them more than yourself.

I made this screenshot for my new campaign AH-64 OUTPOST

I'm not entirely convinced we “know” that. What your photo is showing isn't an Mk84 explosion — it's the aftermath of an Mk84 exploding in a built-up area, creating and throwing dirt, debris, and dust into the air but most likely also smoke rising form the house collapsing and/or being on fire. The bomb isn't doing all the work, and even if it's a huge contributing factor, it wouldn't look anywhere near that big without the buildings providing all the material to create that cloud. That doesn't mean that your sense of lack-lustre explosion effects is wrong, just that it might not be the bomb that is to blame. Rather, it's that targets don't really blow up all that spectacularly in the game, with a rare few exceptions. You might get a small fire effect and a friendly block vape party, but buildings don't generally contribute to the spectacle as much as they probably should. Compare what happens if you drop even a tiny firecracker on a “warehouse” building, and if you drop a MiG-21 nuke on some generic houses. One creates a spectacle because the building generates its own secondary-explosion effects; the other just creates instant ruins with little to no extra decoration. Basically, yes, DCS explosions could probably use a bit more oomph, but it's quite likely that a better way of going about it is by addressing the object destruction part of the equation rather than the actual bomb effect. Same end result — different ways of going about it.
