Second one is best.

A value of 10 is working well for my settings. I much prefer this view for flying heads up eyes outside the cockpit. I also avg 5more fps in this view as the cockpit isn't being rendered. The improved avg fps also helps with the yankin n bankin. I barely have to look down with my tir to see the mfds, it's like looking at the bottom of my monitor and the view tilts down to show the mfds, feels more natural this way, now there is actually "head up" and "head down" flying.

Thanks, I will experiment.

What value would I change to change one of these views, and move the view up the pitch axis so that the bottom of the view is the top of the dash? I don't want to see the MFDs unless I look down.

I have x52 non pro for about 5 years now. It still centers fine in any application but the stick itself has developed some slop where the stick handle mounts to the shaft. It bugs me enough that I want a new one or a pro. Mind you it worked fine with no slop for probably 2+ years, and I have no rudder pedals so using the twist makes it get sloppy quicker. I use this profile. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=58795

CMS Set to AUTO in unknown threat area. CMS Set to SEMI in known threat and set to appropriate profile. If you know there are MANPADS in a valley, I wouldn't go into said valley. Attack from a safe alt, and if you can't do that you need some SEAD flights or you should abort. If you think there are MANPADS in your path, it would be wise to preemptively pop flares as you fly through the area. Evasion is luck more than anything in a confined space to go defensive. And typically you will get launched on more than once and the second one has a better pk on you after you maneuvered against the first. Minimizing the chances of being fired at is the best bet.

Good work indeed. F-18 FTW!

Bug plz.

40 fps is totally flyable, esp if that is when you are looking directly at the source of the slow down.

I'm gonna start a new, serious business logbook now. Had too many beta related deaths.

Just did my first overclock yesterday on my AMD 955 BE. Went from stock 3.2ghz to 4ghz on air on the stock cooler. I set my multiplier to 19, bus to 210 and voltage upped from 1.360 to 1.425 in the bios. Just search your proc name and mobo name and OC you should find plenty of similar setups. Also checkout speed fan if you need a program to monitor your temps. My temps went from 39c idle to about 47c idle, and caps out at about 62c when under full load on Prime95. Going from 3.2 to 4ghz made hardly any difference in A-10C, I maybe got another 2fps, went from 28fps to about 30 on the runway in the pit. DCS beta 4 isn't using these new machines to their potential. It only uses 1 core fully and maybe a tad on another. Im running 2 gtx470s in sli which does nothing for DCS, unlike a game like ARMA2 which will fully use both cards and all four cores.

Fox 1 = Active Radar missile such as AIM-7 Fox 2 = Heat seaker such as AIM-9 Fox 3 = Semi Active Radar missile such as AIM-120

http://games.on.net/article/11576/Developer_Interview_DCS_A10Cs_Jim_Mackonochie Chew on that.

Ever check to see what fps you are getting on that setup StrongHarm?

Bro, did you even bother to read the last few pages? It's Detroit Michigan, the jet is flying down the Detroit RIVER before the start of a boat race. Beta 6 nao, this thread is filling with da poo poo.

No. It is actually Detroit, over the Detroit river at a boat race from July 2009.

Are we there yet?

Hes not using the Lightning force.

The big problem for many is that the ancient piece of code called falcon has base features that haven't been reproduced since at the same level, for whatever reasons, by any newer SIM. I personally loved F4 and have over 350 online flight hours, but it's old and the eye candy and terrain are not even close to what we get in DCS so I feel torn. I want a DC, online flying with many pilots, and features that work offline and offline, and that purdy world outside to look at. If you don't come from the Falcon world, it's much easier to ignore these things, and many do, but I can't. I have Lockon, FC1, FC2, BS, and Hog, and the one thing they all have in common for me is that I have lost interest in them all for similar reasons.

It's called they buy the software and then most stop using it soon after, so yea there are way more offline users. I have a bookshelf of games, I have played them all, but only completed a few and lose interest in most of them within a month. Quite a few are from 2010. Impulse buy, or ooh that looks cool, so and so said it was good......... When a profit is involved, the quantity of sales has more sway than the longevity of the product usage by the customer. It's not personal, it's just business.

Modern MANPAD > Hog. So in a fight the money is against you from the start. What you are left with is trying to minimize the chance of being fired at. These things that keep you out of harms way are the valuable bits of information that should be ingrained, instead of trying to dodge bullets. I try to fly as if I actually care about my virtual self and jet, keeping myself and the jet in reusable condition for as long as possible is priority #1. If I can't kill something with an unfair advantage, I will just have to leave and come back when I've got the advantage.

Have you tried the setting, in options, to synchronize the HOTAS controls at the start of mission?

There is always unknown stuff and that is the most dangerous threat, the surprise. So if that happens you have to defend and if you planned well you will already know which way is the safe direction to defend away from that new threat. So then if you survive what it shot at you, hopefully you used your good old eye balls to get a rough idea where the stuff got flung at you from. Mark that on the TAD or whatever, then get some alt and separation and then use the TGP to find them suckers. Having good SA is key to not getting shot at. Gotta build that bubble in your mind.

Cool thanks.

I prefer the LP intro.
