thinking of buying 32" 1080p t.v
SmokeyTheLung replied to con3para's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I've got a 42" vizio LCD and couldn't be more pleased. Running at the higest default resolution and the sim looks breathtaking. -
To wags and ED; If you release it, I will buy it! DLC sound good!

This has probably been mentioned... If your aircraft takes enough damage to expose parts of the GAU 8 cannon and it's feeding system you will notice that while firing the cannon the chamber end of the barrel assembly rotates, and the ammo feeds down the "chute". Amazing! I was so amused/distracted when I noticed this that I promptly crashed

Mod creation for DCS:A-10C? (in general)
SmokeyTheLung replied to mavyalex's topic in Utility/Program Mods for DCS World
Possible, but not simple :smilewink: -
I'd purchase one if made available. I can do wood myself, but the metal lathe is a bit out of my league...

ANSWER FROM TM REGARDING WT THROTTLE PROBLEM
SmokeyTheLung replied to Funkyjazz's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
The good news is that I've finally been refunded for my shipping expense (over $100 clams) So despite TMs lackluster communication, they seem to want to make things right -
Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals
SmokeyTheLung replied to Gonzo01's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I can't speak for the op, but I find the new rudders to be quite ergonomic. (they are large, well suited to a tall person with large feet). I don't have a very objective opinion here (my last set of rudder pedals was circa 1998...) but I've found the return to center to be just fine. Its taken me a little effort to get used to but with the adjustable tension I think I'll be able to find a setting that is perfect. All in all I'm very happy with my new toy, they make a huge difference in the sim -
ANSWER FROM TM REGARDING WT THROTTLE PROBLEM
SmokeyTheLung replied to Funkyjazz's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I had to get them on the phone, the e-mail responses were non existent -
The def files are in; C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C Beta\Bazar\World\textures\A-10 nice job paulrkiii. I'm trying to do the same myself. Can I ask, what programs are you using to convert the DDS files (what format are you converting them into?) and what programs are you editing the image with? Thanks in advance

I'll let you guys use your imaginations on this one... It wasn't pretty I almost landed it too:poster_oops:

ANSWER FROM TM REGARDING WT THROTTLE PROBLEM
SmokeyTheLung replied to Funkyjazz's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
a little insight into the bricking issue with the throttles; (My first throttle died after 3 weeks of use, serial number around 1100) When plugging in the throttle I would get the "USB device not recognized" message. I was told by TM customer support (I was fine with their level of support but they could have been a little quicker with their replies...) that my case was hopeful, because some peoples throttles were not being recognized at all. None of their over the phone fixes had any effect on the device, so I finally sent it back to get it fixed. It was returned to me after about 1 1/2 weeks (I was impressed given the fact that this was during the holidays) I was surprised to find that my first throttle was simply replaced (the original was not in pristine condition thanks to a very excitable cat that I'm unfortunate enough to live with...) So its cheaper, or a lot faster for TM to just send out a replacement and presumably recycle the parts of the defective units back into production. Just thought it was interesting that a "firmware issue" would warrant writing off the cost of an additional throttle unit... Anyway, all is well now, back to enjoying my new toy. Still waiting on TM for my shipping refund though...:wallbash: -
slew rate set to "1" (fastest), ripple distance set to 500', ripple quantity set to 2. I was able to slew the 2nd bomb to a different spot, but with very limited accuracy. Considering the fact that this thing can fly the JDAMs, there isn't a worthwhile reason to ripple LGBs onto different targets

have tried without success
-
I have a similar rig and run the game with everything on "high" (except water detail) HDR enabled, MSAA off I get a good frame rate, 20+ (the cannon drops my frames to the single digits [this is a known issue and seems to be exclusive to this beta build]) I think you'd be fine with your setup, and things will only get smother with upcoming betas...

In the OPs vid there are 3 distinct sounds, if that 3rd sound isn't the rounds impacting what do you suppose it is?

texturing the warthog
SmokeyTheLung replied to Raz_Specter's topic in Utility/Program Mods for DCS World
Thank you. I'm wondering, what will notepad++ do for me, considering that I'm trying to re-paint the hog, does notepad++ do anything but text? @CHSubZero I'm assuming, perhaps naively, that somewhere in the A10c beta folder there's a file that consists of a 2D image of the hog skins. Is that where your instructions are pointing us? -
texturing the warthog
SmokeyTheLung replied to Raz_Specter's topic in Utility/Program Mods for DCS World
Sorry in advance for my lack of understanding on this one, It's the LUA file labeled "description" in any of the various a10c folders that one should edit? Does one need to convert the LUA to a different format to edit it? What programs will work for this? Paint? Thanks -
a testament to how well done DCS a10c really is!
