Great newsletter, I'll believe it when I see it the whole public alpha release. In regards to the f-18, is it going to be handicapped like the a10c due to agreements with the military? Aka Tad functionality and laser guided Mavs?

Well I'll comment more on b lens. Up close is more clear in pit compared to A lens. But the far stuff is blurry so I take it I should stick with A lens. What have you guys found that works best for dcs world? Yes I know everybody eyes are different

Old Map looks amazing in new engine.

Haven't seen any word at all other than the guy at Mudspike who flew the rift in the pre alpha of nttr. I hope it works better. I found some good settings now in current engine and is a blast to fly at night for sure.

Believe it's 1.51 having done anything special just normal install procedures. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/585372/ http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=120718

Yes biggest change is rotor sound and rotor dynamics sound, very nice!

LOL check out the Ka50 if your a rotor head like me you be very happy!!

Big bump, it looks excellent

Well I must say the ka50 sounds epic now. Thank you so much for updating her to a more relevant sound base !

Better to go off of user experiences for purchases than review sites. Your money, good luck with 970. Be prepared for a I told you so. But now you at least know what your getting with a 970 where as lots of folks didn't.

Yes I'm very curios as to what the changes to sound system entails? Eax? Hard ware acceleration? Then ya what sounds where changed? I saw a Ed tester post check out the ka50 in regards to that.....

What exactly are the sound system changes?

Wow I put the b lenses in and now can really read stuff in the pit woohoo. Who new that would help as I have 20/10 vision :)

Out of curiosity what dcs graphic settings are you guys using. I'm also using sweetfx with ffxaa and other AA disabled in sweetfx. My draw distance is down to medium and scenes down to medium Cockpit shadows are off, and shadows on low. 512 on mfds Tree draw distance is low around 3500 meters Still experimenting with dcs settings trying to keep the 75 fpS most of time. I can concede that on the ground taxi is in the 60s which is no big deal.

I've never found it wise policy to not listen to those with real world experience. What snoopy is suggesting is bringing a real world aspect to military training to this Military aircraft simulator. I and many welcome the small and bigger details and it only helps having those that have served in the "Nevada" area. Will only enhance what looks to be a most epic map

Just a update, I disabled sli and with just 1 980 I'm getting great performance and am liking this thing much more. Also I enabled 2x transparency super sampling and 4x msaa via nvidia control panel. Looks a million times better and can easily function with all systems in the a10c. Guess patience and tinkering pays off. Just wish sli would work better. Bring on Dcs 2.0!!

What drivers are you guys running that have down sampling and or Dsr working?

Don't get my somewhat negative talk wrong this is the future, needs allot of work and more importantly we need the hardware and game developers to fully integrate and jump on the band wagon. Biggest reason I bought two 980 was for vr and what nvidia was saying as far as their vr direct tech. Anybody have any incite or those techs running?

Nvidia 3d sli works good, with oculus not so sure right now it's 50 60 on ground then up in 70's in air. I do have vsynch on I'll give it a try without but I can't stand screen tearing. My rift is set to extended primary and I do the turn off in mission select screen then turn it on when loading. Clickable pit and that works great, just performance and I don't see any difference in image quality when I set a high dsr resolution or standard down sampling. Also I run it in full screen mode. Question, these days to you shut down the osr service or whatever it's called like bunyap did in his video? It's a bummer but it's new tech and developer kit so can't get to mad but was hoping for more.

Unless they totally revamp the pits for bigger text inside cockpit, the rift will be useless. I didn't realize how bad the red was on this thing. Theirs slightly more presence than my 55 inch in 3d but the 55 in 3d is much better. Still can't get this thing to down sample or run the Dsr resolutions I set. No clue what's wrong with this thing. Get more trouble shooting time later. Will say though standing up and looking at your bird is cool that's about all it has more than nvidia 3d. Definitely not combat effective as it is now :(. Looks very much like 640x480 way to much shimmering and jaggies

Well got mine running but for some reason I'm stuck at 40 fpS with sli 980. Obviously something wrong and it looks like 640 x480 like the other guy. Going to keep messing with it. I did accidently have the rift plugged in before installing run time don't know if that's the cause. Also it seems low persistence mode is not on

Thanks brother sounds good! Have a hud font mod already and I see a seperate forum thread about rift mods for dcs.

Awesome! Question are you combat effective in a bird like a10c? Down sampling make it possible. I just wonder how bad readability really is as currently I fly on 55 incher. In 3d and their is a screen door effect but I'm still combat effective and can read gauges somewhat effectively. Also from what I've seen of videos in the a10c with rift the position in the pit looks to far back, anyway to adjust that?

Well mine literally gets dropped off at my door in a matter of hours. But the wife planned a weekend in Salida colorado for sking at Monarch mountain and getting trapped in a cabin when this uber blizzard blows in tomorrow lol. Thanks for the info about down sampling, if anything I'll do super sampling Aa which helps also and see if the 980 sli will keep frames comfortable. I also second the remarks about edge. Dear lord I think we will be in heaven with the rift when that comes out.

I get mine tomorrow. Was uber quick ordered last sat and bam arrive tomorrow. I'll for sure report my findings and if I lose my lunch lol
