In all seriousness. Forget about the “burn in” fear mongering. My OLED (48” LG TV) is almost 4Y and has zero burn in. Apart from that, investing in a big OLED was the single best hardware upgrade I ever did. it is just awesome. You don’t even realise how bad LCDs are (in color and contrast) until you used an OLED. However, the perfect contrast may mercilessly expose any bad picture (e.g. banding is even more noticeable). Especially when you usually play at night or in a dark room, you will absolutely love OLED. (Of course that’s my personal subjective opinion, but I think recommending OLED is as save a bet as it can be) p.s. going big is probably also a big part of the great experience. That’s why I went for a TV, it’s much cheaper when you go big.

Same, but I'm not sure how that'll work out with the login. Do you have any experience with that? Can you keep playing offline (I mean without account login) indefinitely?

Given you have access to the older install of DCS, and as long as ED doesn't cease to support it (by means of granting online access/login), yes it is true. But there is no guarantee for how long it will work....

C-130P "Super Penetrator"

Thank you, I just wanted a quick verification that the DLSS swapper worked (which it did) and the Nvidia Driver didn’t overwrite it somehow. (Which it didn’t). I guess there are several paths to success.

Thank you. . That was kinda obvious, now I feel stupid…. But nevertheless it worked. Piece of cake actually.

Quick question: I tried DLSS Swapper today and changing the DLSS runtime for DCS was suspiciously easy. Is there a way to verify it is actually working and using the correct runtime?

Are you looking at the right gauges for temperatures? Happened to me. I was looking at oil pressure instead of temp. Either way, when you open the cowl flaps a little and the oil cooler about 25 to 30%, you should be able to fly indefinitely with cruise settings (or max continuous).

All those numbers are completely pointless, unless providing a VERY specific scene + settings. A trackfile in the best case. I won't specify my GPU (cause it is irrelevant) but I can easily have the FPS fluctuate between 160 and 80 in the same mission, a split second apart, depending on where I look. Better phrasing: Judging GPU performance and comparing fps-performance of different GPUs is only useful, when done with controlled parameters, like scene and GFX settings. Throwing anecdotic numbers around tells nothing!

I think it was to improve roll-rate. I can't think of any other flight dynamics benefit. The induced drag is smaller with rounded wingtips if I'm not mistaken (that's why the spit has them in the first place I guess). But I might be completely mistaken - that's out of my league to be honest.

It's a game (with different shortcomings) either way. That's a pointless discussion. SP has its values, MP does too. (E.g. droping warheads on foreheads is not the only part of military aviation, I would dare to say it is the smallest. So if your interest is aviation - flying a particular aircraft in the first place - SP pretty much does the trick. (Personally I would love to see a proper ATC for that reason, but that's beside the point) I don't want to, but just food for thought: There several different ways to do muliplayer. Public servers (PvP OR PvE), private servers or even closed groups from 2 people upwards. How it goes depends pretty much on the people and what you're trying to achieve

Yep, that's it. Mirrors and cockpit displays (like TV or Tads e.g) fall into the same category in that they need an additional render viewport (and therefore reduce fps)

Oh ffs, the doomsayers are on the run again. Please, if you don't like DCS or can't wait for it to fail - Just. Walk. Away. But please stop trying to convince everybody else that it is flawed or doomed. When you have specific things to criticise, by all means, go ahead, idealy provide evidence and suggest solutions - but this passive aggressive dramatization, please no!

I think it is "Resolution of Displayes" or something like that, that you can switch between 512 and 1024....

Awesome!

Thank you for the fleshed out answer. That was pretty much what I assumed. It doesn’t matter. I’m still absolutely hyped for the Modul. Any chance for new(er) info on a release date?

Ahhhh, my eyes.

btw, seeing the big radar nose in the thumbnail.... I assume the C-130 has a weather radar? If so, will it work in the DCS environment? Probably no....or?

Switchology heaven!

You're right. So is Sirrah.

Still, a real RIO would probably call that out, since this is is closely related to his most important job anyways (maintain situational awareness beyond visual range). Also communication is prime. I think OP doesn't ask for that because it is needed, but because it would be immersive.

Imagine the wife/girlfriend, who is already highly sceptical of this expensive af nerd hobby, walking in on you being tossed around by your motion platform....

Oh, I absolutely get that prices are different relative to income in some countries. Still, if one does't have the means to use DCS, that's (hard as it is) an individual problem. Some people seem to expect ED to cater to the least common denominator, and that doesnt sit well with me. Again - oh the irony!

Oh the irony……
