You really work hard for this community and thank you. Keep it up ! Mizzy

Dear fellows and felines. This is a matter of concern due to 'Covid' and the ridiculous prices of GPUs. I, like many, invest in our computer rigs with regularity. This has not been possible since 'Covid' and the classical Kanesian economic model of 'supply and demand' is evident in price of the said GPU's. How will this affect DCS in the near future and it's development? We, as consumers, cannot afford the GPU price tags. How will this affect DCS development in the short/medium term ? Mizzy

But the level of realism was not on a realistic level. This is not the point of my post, read it again !

It could also do with a face lift and use the graphical enhancements of 2.7

I bought Su27 Flanker in 1996 just after it was published, I was 31 years old and now nearing 60 years old. I remember a game called European Air War (EAW) and had a fantastic following in the late 1990s/early 2000. One of the developers I recall went on to develop 'Strike Fighters' series..Anyway I digress, one of the features of DCS has always been missing and that's an 'Action Camera' feature. Basically it's a camera that follows the action of a mission. I think Falcon 4 had one as well. Err, where was I !... Oh yes, the action camera; is it possible to implement an action camera feature in DCS like EAW and Falcon 4? Mizzy

Err yeah, anyway back to the F5 II

When is the Tiger II going to be updated to 2.7 ? Mizzy

How do I get on the testing team LOL

If my memory recalls, the Chinese Asset pack had a J11 (flanker) thingy in it and it was a modified ED Flanker model and FM that ED gave Dekaworks, so it's not out of the range of possibility that ED may well be working with RAZBAM on the F15E. RAZBAM have been with ED a long time and much trust I would imagine. I personally love RAZBAMs work, very professional, I just wish they would do the early Skyhawks they did for MSFS 2004, such a shame they have not, but this is OT so I will shut up now.

Why do you say that ?

The DCS screenshots are/were WIP, remember your computer has to run the programme because when the FPS goes down the forum gets threads like 'MASSIVE' drop in frame rates. One must admit, it's a universe away from what he had before, just my opinion.

what VR set are you using ?

This is absolutely brilliant, unfortunately the aircraft crashes when taking off from Nellis as soon as the gear goes up. This should be an official module. Mizzy

If they lie down, it means it's going to rain. I am sure ED have modelled this behaviour, if not I will put a formal complaint in

DCS is in desperate need of a 'casual sim player' mode and FC3 is well out of date for this. I am really looking forward to MAC because this mode is my mode of play, I'm not a serious study type person and even now in semi retirement, I don't really want to spend months learning the F18 as good as it is (I have the module). So yes, I believe there is a strong market place for a sim mode that is in between WT and high fidelity DCS modules. Mizzy

Yes, people can actually download this for FREE and fly for free in two high quality aircraft, I wish all this was available when I was younger

Oh what a shame but each to their own when it comes to using software. One thing I can guarantee you, there are no Youtube videos that really do 2.7 justice, it's one of those things that you have to see and play for yourself. You are in for a big treat when you do. I hope it's soon !

Yes, unfortunately some have a problem but it will be solved, it's computing afterall Once it's fixed, I'm sure you will have a ball rediscovering DCS all over again and every map is now great to play. Enjoy when you can ! Lovely

Same, greetings

You have done it AGAIN !! Obviously language barrier is a problem here but where did I say I was "scared" ?? Let me try again, many problems people are having with their DCS install seldom (rarely) is it actually anything to do with the DCS programme, understand that ? In many cases it is external to DCS especially graphic card driver problems when (for example) Nvidia bring out a new driver, it can cause problems for some applications. In short, many problems users experience with DCS may have NOTHING to do with the DCS programme, it's individual computer configurations and 'their' computers ! Now do you understand? Oh by the way greetings and best regards !

And who said it was ok? Why don't you read posts properly and not add your own interpretation to other peoples posts. Ok that was a bit harsh of me but read peoples posts properly, they can come across a bit arsey !!

Lovely

I think most people are not getting any crashes, I have not had one single crash so I hope there is no hot fix for something that doesn't appear to be broke, but sorry if you are having problems and hope you get your system sorted. FYI I am running mods which some missions rely on, but I disable all mods, clear my saved game folder, config and any other file related to an earlier version of DCS. Then I put them back after I have updated DCS. It's always the mods folder that crashes so I put them in one by one. Sometimes remnants of an older version cause problems and in that case uninstall all of DCS, everything, and do the above. But 2.7 didn't need anything drastic to work, the most stable update in memory tbh!

It's computer system power or lack of why they are soft edged. No, it's power of your computer to handle the detail of clouds, for example, on low setting the clouds are more rounded with less variety in shape (softer edge) and with ultra settings clouds have more definition. It's the latter that creates the FPS drop and increasing the definition would only bring people crying that their FPS has had a MASSIVE drop. You can't win on this but rest assured in 5 years time, the clouds will have significantly more definition (sharper). The other sim with clouds (can't mention MSFS) has the same problem and settings by the way.
