Yep! Enabling proper steep dives....

I'm just so happy, that we finally get to fly "big birds" in the DCS environment. No discussion, that logistic is a vital (actually the most vital) part of any military operation... but even without that, I'm thrilled that we get the Herc!

Reshade is actually a nice software, that quietly sits in the back if unused without eating performance. And with a single keystroke does its thing. You CAN however get lost in the rabbit hole of turning to many knobs and adding too many filters…. and eventually, depending on what you are doing, it CAN add up to eating a couple of fps. My conclusion for reshade is „less is more“.

That depends strongly on what exactly you do with it. If you keep it light and only (e.g.) use basic color correction it is barely noticable. If you use more intrusive options like fake HDR or somthing like this, the main problem is that people tend to overdo it. The charming thing is that you can turn it on and off instantly and see changes in realtime. As I said, I mainly use it to compensate the atmospheric haze (sharpening+contrast) and de-saturate the whole game slightly. I'm not sure, but I would bet that there is a plug in to adjust singular base colors (green!) one by one. But I haven't tried such wizardry yet.

I would strongly recommend a mod manager. Deactiavte all mods before an update and then re-apply them after the successful update one by one. Way easier to manage and to troubleshoot. Also, an update may replace/remove modded files selectively (depending on if it were altered or additional files) - which can damage mods in surprising ways.

Reshade to the rescue! I completely agree with most of the above, but personally I find DCS in general more on the lollipop side of the spectrum. But color perception is difficult to agree on and I‘m not the creator. So I don’t expect them to cater to my preferences. Feedback is given, and for the time being I adjust the colours via Reshade.

Well, you definitely sparked curiosity! Personally, I can't help you, since I'm not an actual aviator or anything related - but as a consumer, I will certainly keep an eye open for any progress of your project. Good Luck!

yeah, me neither usually, but I get tempted every now and then….. Anyhow, where were we? Ah, yes, bashing NviDiA…..

You are certainly a top contender to start my ignore list with…..

I hope, that the next flagship card from AMD will be competitive. Even if it gives just 90% of the performance of the 5090 (well, the equivalent next gen card. I won’t upgrade from a 4090 to a 5090). I’m so done with Nvidia right now. Sick of companies turning evil once they built their empire with the customers they then proceed to kick to the curbs.

Ah damn it…. I was prepared to sacrifice my first born for the summoning…. But getting off the couch…. I’d rather not….

lol We can't buy (afford) GPUs anymore - so we summon them.....

Die Frage ist für welchen Ausschlag man die 40 Nm (~4 KG) braucht. Ich bezweifle stark, dass man für wenige mm Mikrobewegungen 4 KG aufbringen muss, dass würde der Notwendigen Feinfühligkeit die man bei Helicopter fliegen braucht entgegenwirken. Reine Spekulation: Ich nehme an die 40 Nm beziehen sich auf die Break-Out-Force um z.B. aus dem Autohover auszubrechen. Kommt mir jedenfalls komisch vor. Aber ich habe keine Ahnung vom KA-50!

While I totally agree with you on the sentiment, I admit that "expensive" lays in the eye of the beholder.

Exactly! Upgrading every 5 years with a very expensive card (whatever relative level this means at the time) that lasts(!) is reasonable imho. Uprgrading every (other) year for a latest luxury card is bonkers for most regular people. (Still their choice though, I'm not hitting on anybody who does/did is. Just for me personally, it is bonkers)
