Turning on Shkval on the Su-25T really kills my framerate, especially when looking down at ground objects. I'm currently running patch 1.2.3 but this issue was also present on older patches. Cockpit display resolution is set to the lowest setting (256). My GPU is a Radeon HD5750 and I have the latest Catalyst drivers installed.

Any solution for this crash? The multiplayer is unplayable at the moment because of it.

It happens when I attempt to join a multiplayer server. After the mission loads the game freezes and crashes to desktop. Singleplayer works fine. # -------------- 20121221-195448 -------------- D:\Games\DCS World\bin\dxgui_edge_render.dll # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 689A1354 01:00000354 # # EAX = 00000000 # EBX = 00000000 # ECX = 3F800000 # EDX = 3F800000 # ESI = 4BF67510 # EDI = 00000001 # CS:EIP = 001B:689A1354 # SS:ESP = 0023:0066EA94 EBP = 6CCB8C68 # DS = 0023 ES = 0023 FS = 003B GS = 0000 # Flags = 00010246 # -------------- 20121223-142735 -------------- D:\Games\DCS World\bin\NGModel.dll # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 665302A8 01:0000F2A8 # # EAX = 00000000 # EBX = 0000002C # ECX = 00022BB7 # EDX = 00000000 # ESI = 4ED20E20 # EDI = 0000000B # CS:EIP = 001B:665302A8 # SS:ESP = 0023:0DBFF45C EBP = 00000001 # DS = 0023 ES = 0023 FS = 003B GS = 0000 # Flags = 00010206

It's the first time I see someone bitch and complain about bugs getting fixed. Just lol...

That's true, but 800 € is way over my budget, I'm aiming for something around 700 € at max. Acer Aspire V3-571G (the Core i5, GT 630M variant) has decent performance and can be found for less than 600 € here in Bulgaria. (not to mention it looks pretty nice :P)

As much as I would love to get a new desktop computer I need something that I can easily carry around. :(

I know that laptop GPUs are not good for gaming in general so I don't have my hopes high. :D Looking at the prices a GT 640M is about as high as I can go, the 650 and 660 models are too expensive for me. From what I read on different hardware forums most current games run fine on dual core CPUs, will a quad core one be an overkill for DCS World?

Thanks EtherealN, here's the model I am currently considering http://laptop.bg/laptops-acer-Aspire_V3_571G-acer_aspire_v3571g_NX_RZLEX_014

I am thinking about buying a laptop with a GT 630M graphics card, as it is a decent and affordable laptop GPU and I was wondering if it would be able to run DCS World. The other laptop components will probably be a dual core i5 or a quad core i7 and 6 or 8 gigs of ram (depending on my financial situation at the time I buy the laptop). My current desktop setup has a 8800GTS (the older 320MB model), 2 gigs of RAM, Intel C2D E6750 processor and I am experiencing stutter even at lower settings. Is there anyone around here that runs DCS World on a laptop and could shed some light on the subject?

Does this mean that we'll no longer have players magically dodging two or more missiles fired well within the NEZ?

How many Vikhrs missiles does it take to kill an SA-13 in BS1? Today in multiplayer I fired two at one without it taking any damage whatsoever.

Pilot error during take off is the most likely cause according to initial report.

I don't know what ED's plans for FC3 are but I think it would be nice to see a modern Russian fighter in LockOn, maybe a MiG-29SMT or a Su-27SM. Putting up the basic MiG-29A/Su-27S against the F-15C, even though the latter is undermodeled , is still not a fair match-up (this coming from an eagle pilot). Including a new Russian fighter will make the multiplayer much more interesting and would force players to develop new strategies. As far as the concerns that avionics are not going to be accurate - there are already plenty of holes in the sim filled in with imagination and some of them were discussed in the posts above mine. Just my two cents on what I personally think would make this sim even better. Sorry if I veered too off topic.

With F-16 avionics. That's not exactly my idea of a good F-18 sim. Falcon is and will be an F-16 simulator, no matter how many different cockpits they put in, the avionics are still going to be the same across all planes.

Pressing Enter on your keyboard will lock on/stabilize the AGM-65 seeker. You can then use slew it onto your target the same way you would point your radar using the , . / ; keys.
