I'm not talking about right now, and I'm not talking about everyone, and I'm not talking about "use Linux or die". Sorry if that wasn't clear.

@EtherealN - current gaming stats be what they may - the simple fact is that sales of desktops are in decline globally, and notebooks have just reached a plateau last year. Installed base of all PCs globally is probably around 1 billion and will decrease. Current gaming consoles are at 250 million or so installed base, by far the largest IB of all console generations - let's see what happens next. But the IB of smartphones, tablets and similar devices is at least 1.4 billion, and growing - and that's where M$ is going with Windows 8. More control, more mobility features, desktop as an afterthought. That's why Gabe Newell is hedging his bets, along with his distaste for Windows App Store or whatever this may be called. I'm just saying that looking into a possibility of a Linux port is reasonable, nothing more, nothing less. @ALDEGA I'm more referring to people who have bought a Vista or a Win 7 32bit system, and are now forced to pay for a 64bit Windows. It's an additional cost with very little value - except being able to properly enjoy DCS which they've paid for already. Granted, this probably isn't a case with many people.

Just a couple of points: 1. Steam on Linux is an extension of Valve's position that Windows 8 is death to PC gaming. See more here: http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2012/07/26/windows-8-is-a-catastrophe-according-to-gabe-newell-valve-hedging-with-steam-on-linux/ 2. Market-wise, gaming on PCs, and even consoles, is in decline. The way consoles took the market from PCs, the same way smartphones and tablets are taking it away from consoles. Ouya BTW is Android - basically guts of a smartphone/tablet, plus peripherals and better rendering ( ) 3. Long term, all developers that can't port to tablets and phones, should look at Linux - simply because Windows and Mac OS/iOS are much more focused on tablet and phone markets, and will neglect (or already are neglecting) desktop/workstation (or even full sized notebooks) as a platform. Long term, in my industry parlance, is five years let's say. 4. What does it mean for ED? With their long development cycles, they should look at the possibilities of a Linux port. 5. Due to its lack of IP burden, and lack of commercial interests driving the development, Linux can accommodate much better to what an application such as DCSW requires, not vice versa. This is a much better situation to be in, both for a developer, or a user. If ED finds a distro that works for them, it requires no investment on the client side to install it or run it. Compare it with the current situation - if you want to run DCSW properly you need 64-bit Win 7. For some people those 100 or so US$ is a bit of an obstacle I'd say. 0 US$ for Ubuntu is no obstacle at all.

I also notice that FARPs in a Su-25T campaign always pop up as an enemy target, even though they're assigned to the Russian side, appear red on the map, etc...

There is actually an open source TrackIR driver/software for Linux (it's not made especially for TrackIR, works with most cameras, but apparently works with TrackIR too). Here's the link (BTW, I haven't used it myself):http://code.google.com/p/linux-track/

Next you get to Lt. Col, and get to fly the desk :D, i.e. all modules are de-activated and deleted, and you get a new DCS: Solitaire module.

They also don't repair blown tyres. As for hydraulics, can't really say, when I loose hydraulics I usually do a belly landing which usually ends with a bruning crate and an ejection...

What Rich said. I can confirm that the engines have to be all the way down, 0 RPM. For re-arming screen just one correction - it's Left Alt+', Right Alt doesn't work. Also, you can re-arm and refuel, but that doesn't mean you'll get repaired, have to do it separately.

I have repair working on SU-25T, both online and offline. You do have to wait, and it takes time, and there's no feedback (countdown, or messages - sometimes the GC doesn't even say "copy").

All of them. As stated before (or maybe not) I'd buy pretty much anything on A-10C level (except for the helicopters, that's just not my thing for some reason). If I was to choose - the TM, it's even more flexible than T.

This issue appears with older missions that include old Config/View files. If you want to use these missions, edit the view files by copy/pasting all F-15 related entries from default Config/View files (from Eagle Dynamics/DCS World folder).

Su-27 modeled in DCS can't carry R-77 in real life.

B) Shift+N?

First, uninstall and de-activate A-10C standalone installation. I don't know if you can use the old config files, but back them up just in case. Than (as you already have DCS World installed) you have to download a DCS World A-10C module, and then install it. Here's the link to the modules page: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?end_pos=136&scr=products&lang=en. After installing the module, you'll be prompted to activate it when you try to fly the A-10C - for that, use the serial you got for you stand-alone A-10C purchase and that's it.

What's his OS? Which rendering options is he using? DX version? Such notebooks usually have two GPUs - is he using the main GPU or the "auxiliary" one? What is the notebook model - GT555M means different things unfortunately - at least three architectures carry that name, along with different clock speeds, shader counts and memory configurations?

Hi - not too much of an expert, but why don't you try assigning those commands to other keys? The game layout may indeed be different, if you have a non-standard or older keyboard (I have one right here).

1. Try and ascertain approximately where the target will be, then look for the targets with Shkval. If there's some ground action going on, look for muzzle flashes, dust from moving vehicles, smoke and fire from burning vehicles... that sort of thing. 2. Nope, unfortunately.

1. you can (open rearm window (Lalt+') when on apron, then choose it as a centerline pod) 2. I don't think that the server can limit the pods, I don't see an option to choose what pods are available at an airbase (as opposed to aircraft and weapons).

@MOTO - from the unedited picture it seemed to me that the HDR was off... but may be the case of gamma/saturation etc. monitor settings. EDIT: Here's how it looks on my PC (HDR On, monitor calibrated)

As for the Flanker vs. teen series vs. Raptor talk... I suggest listening to this guy: http://vayu-sena.indianmilitaryhistory.org/exercise-red-flag-su-30mki-comparison-fornof.shtml

Turn HDR on?

At this stage, I'd give my money for any reasonably capable, relatively accurate fast mover. And by fast, I mean supersonic. And by reasonably capable, I mean at least one MFD+look down/shoot down radar. Actually I'm joking, I'd buy anything that has AFM. Yes, anything.

Umm, how do I explain this - it's a kind of a snap view that locks automatically onto a pre-determined object type. Look it up in options/controls/views (I think) for any airplane. I don't use it, so I'm not sure if one exists for missiles.

You don't know, that's a simple answer. If you don't want to get shot down you need to be paranoid :). In short - MANPADS and short-range IR AAMs are annoying. What I generally do is make sure I minimize the time I spend near or over hostile troops and vehicles, drop LGB's and bombs in general from 10000 feet plus in CCRP mode, and pop flares, turn and wiggle whenever I can reasonably expect there's a MANPADS or similar nearby. Also, use stand-off weapons on air defense assets as a priority. And yes, TrackIR helps with SA, there's no way around it. Maybe use padlock?
