Hallo. I have a FPS issue when i put the TGP into FLIR mode both black and white. In CCD its ok. Same goes for the maverick. I also experienced i had a target looked up in the TGP this was with CCD on. I did a strafing run firing the cannon at a tank while i could watch the impact on the TGP. It completly killed my frame rate. Also after the pass had been completed and i was well away. I tried to pause and speed up and slow down the speed of the game, but it didnt help any my FPS must have been lik 10 or something. Then i switched away from the TGP and suddenly i was back up and my normal smooth FPS. It seems like something isnt clearing from the TGP until you move away from it. So its not a big issue. But anyone got any clues why FLIR mode kills my FPS? Might just be a WIP beta optimization issue. I got a ATI 4850HD card. I was using the 32 bit exe. Thanks for any help :)

It wasnt so much critisim more just a question. I mean as it is now seems realistic enough given the 9 meter accuracy stated in the manual. But if your telling me its WIP and the accuracy will actualy improve thats just awesome :P Looking at TGB camera films of LGB's being dropped, they do seem very accurate.

Ah ok thank you Sticky.

I cant figure out how to set anything as SPI from the TAD. Maybe im stupid. But on the TMS DMS etc page for different modes it says you can mark as SPI or something with TMS Up Long i think it is. But i cant get it to work. I take they you can mark SPI with the cross hair you can slave around right? Oh also on the JTAC mission, you can edit Wags mission and look at his setup, just copy it and create your own mission. I had to set the freq to 131 MHz instead of the 10MHz in Wags mission, i couldnt get the radio down that low in freq. But otherwise then that it works fine, just no voice for radio coms. If i may ask a question. What is the X on the HUD over the JTAC, I also see it in the TGP screen. I guess its to signal its a friendly unit but how do it work(Is it a IR signal? radio signal or what). I tried doing some searching in the manual but couldnt find any info. Can someone explain it or point me to a page in the manual. I did read up on using the IR strobe locater but not sure how it works. Also the LSS search function for the TGP dont to much when i created the JTAC and directed him to say i should use LGB's. Shouldnt he be able to mark something for me? But maybe its not implemented or i did it all wrong which is properly more likely :P

You can use the redarted or is it retarded :P bombs. They deploy a parachute when you do low passes. Currently not implemented though. But will come later.

Yes ive learned a new term :) Ok so ive been practicing my bombing skills using the GBU-12 since ive found trying to hit hard targets using MK82's is just not realistic. Now my problem is the GBU-12 is widly inaccurate for hitting tanks. The documentation do say it got a 9 meter impact radius which seems about right with the results im getting. Maybe its just a problem with me being use to LGB's being spot on in other flightsims. I find it helps a bit if im up high at like 10.000 feet compared to maybe 5000 ft. using the CCRP flying straight and level when dropping. Anyone who have any hints or i just have to get used to having to ripple 2-3 bombs to get a certain kill in one pass.

Also using HEI rounds strafing some infantry often the infantry survives. But not sure if this is correct or not. But i could imagin a 30mm HEI round landing one meter from you would still leave you dead. But properly a WIP with the round balancing or i might just overestimate the impact :doh: But strafing ground units have never felt so good :joystick:

The loading times arent that bad tbh. I mean you maybe spent like 1 hour in game flying a mission so waiting 10-15 sec for the mission to load is like a 1:2400 ratio of load and playing the game xD I think its fairly acceptable.

I doubt its really any adobted standard when something is alpha or beta. Is there a IEEE- ISO standard or something similer on it? Anyway its pre-release i think most is just happy they get to play the thing ASAP, even in its current stage is very very much playable. I have not had a single crash yet other then when ALT tabbing out from Full Screen mode.

I dont remember a option either. It just threw all 4 exes on my desktop. x86 and x64 SP and MP exes.

Arghh now all the "Why cant we play LOMAC:FC2 with A10C like we could in BS" begins.

I have had this happen 3 times. Next on my list of things to do is learning how to jettison the damn thing. If that is even possible.

WRONG :megalol: He said he was running it under XP SP3 compatibility and this is wrong. Ofc yes he could set the run as admin in the compatibility pane but that should also be the one thing he sets in there :smilewink:

Didn't read FAQ since i guess its a bug, switch dont flip. For the fireing of weapons i found out i haven't loaded any of the modules at ramp start :doh: Since then ive happly been blowing up tanks using CCRP and LGB's Just wish TM would release there new HOTAS anytime soon. Playing this sim with a 8 button joystick is just not possible. Way to much Hands Off Throttle And Stick.

If you just talking about getting the plane in the air i think its actualy easier then in the KA50. You only have to flip like 7 switches or something and then you can start the engines and taxi away. I think its alot harder to actualy launch weapons, my DSMS says weapons are off :( but ive learned to use the TGP now and its just awesome love the zoom on it. Alos no clue why i cant arm the auto pilot. the switch seems like its a bug properly. But i was able to drop bombs and stuff in a instant action mission so i guess i didnt configure something properly :music_whistling:

If its under 600USD im buying it. But i cant find a retailer in denmark or europe. A google on this joystick offers no sites where you can buy it and none of my usual retail stores that sell seitek X65f and CH producs have anything about this. Im sad. But bought A10C though and its just awesome maybe by the time i know all the system of the A10 ill have my hands on the joystick.

If you think that its about how many planes you get you missed the entire point of the DCS series i think. Tbh im very excited about DCS: A-10C, i would have bought it even if they had a price like SB Pro PE which i also own. Bought for 125$

Im running BS + FC2 on Win7 x64 Enterprise. Its running without problems. I think, unless you have a OLD pc. The switch from XP to Win7 in terms of speed is minor if not actualy an improvement. I bet theres better multicore support in Win7. No need to keep your games on a XP install. That is unless they are not compatible with Win7 ofc. Btw i doubt you can get anything installed on a XP partition working under Win7 without heavy heavy work in the registry. The upgrade to windows internal security from XP to Win7 is huge, ie. nothing will properly work. Ofc it depends on the programs/games and what account your running under etc.

QuickCam you can disable the need for authorization by the targeting computer. This will allow you to fire your weapons at all times. In the HUD and on the Shkval there will appear a C when your can launch(ie. for the vihkir you need the target circle within the vihkir aim point) Disable the targeting computer and the C will be on at all times. This offcourse gives room for a bad weapon launch so you have to be a bit more carefull. The switch for this is the one a little bellow the Master Arm switch.

If its a twist stick its properly good to have some deadzone in the rudder axis so you dont leak unintended rudder into your flying. How much is needed should be a matter of taste. Try playing around with it and see what makes you comfortable.

Ha ha ill be downloading the track. All i ever hear on this board, is how stupid the wingmen are. Imo they dont seem to bad, if you learn how to work em :)

Id drop my pants if they did the Su-34. It also have a nice mix of A/G and A/A. But since that wont happen id go with this. 1: Mi-28N 2: AH64A 3: F-15E I just think a pure A/A fighter is unsexy, but thats just me, i know a lot of people would properly love one. And Krunkskimo we all know it should be DCS: Millennium Falcon, well that or DCS: Super Star Destroyer just for kicks.

Trying to argument with people who favor DRM is like trying to argue with a heroin addict that he shouldnt take his next fix. DRM solves nothing. It only shows you care more about the pirates then your legit customers. Im in the software business, all i can say is DRM that rely on device drivers is effectivly rootkits which equals that ED is involved in whats effectivly hacking of customers computers. If it wasnt for no-clue politicians who dont know anything about the digital era we would have some proper laws that protected customers rights when they bought software and all companies who used these kind of DRM schemes would be off to jail.

Sorry to burst your bubble. But like previous poster said looking at the process and task manager is not a good way to go about measuring how well your cores a utilized.

I hope graphics can be toned down so its smoothly playable on computers able to handle DCS:BS Or i have to invest in a new computer on top of having spend 1000$ on joysticks o_O
