For the future aircraft in DCS I am hoping they use realistic sounds. Seven-g f-18 is doing this if you watch a youtube video of how it is in real life in a f-18 you can hear the engines but they really are only loud when there is full AB. Mostly you hear the wind forces on the aircraft. We are very far from this in FC3. I also know it's about the same for the A-10C. Even less engine noise just that plan low pitch sound thats the same for all fighter aircraft sounds like a computer running. Still you really hear the wind forces in high g-turns even in a A-10. Only issue with seven g f-18 it seems like the GFX suck.

Is it worth it? I want to support ED but I am not sure about CA got any good vids of it so I can get the jest about what it's all about? CJ

They seem to on my machine but I am not sure not a big deal. Even if the birds did work I don't want to simulate that. Not sure what kind of damage it would do in a A-10C turbine. Maybe not that much at all. Since they can take 40mm hits in the fan and often still work they are much more durable according to an A-10A pilot I knew that flew in Desert Storm. So the birds might be cool to add realism but it does slow down my machine that's all I know.

Don't know what it could be might be hardware related I just tried it again. I am running 3d which a-10c does not support. So that is turned off and it will enable automatically but with this disabled birds for what ever reason has a FPS impact on my machine. Don't need to worry about it until birds actually exist in the sim.

I can hear them on water... and also with some objects.

I agree the whole thing could be overhauled.

Early access is nice but can have some pros and cons as far as the development cycle. For most games there is a SLA (service level agreement) the game has to be developed. Money and stake holders are invested and big companies are involved. So early access can only be a good thing. For smaller developers like ED they would get your money and may not have the stake holders or investors that other projects have there is no loss prevention in place. There might be a un-motivating factor and there is no SLA for a project no big companies involved so it could fall through because of many factors, death, team falling apart, delays and plain cancelation of a project. Each developer on this project should earn your money with high quality products.

Well I can confirm 100% it did very noticeable difference.

What are they going to be? It's not on the wiki.

Well if it's not high fidelity I am not going to buy it. I don't want any more modules that are not high fidelity full cockpit control. I have FC3 but even if 6D cockpit may look nice there is no physics as of yet which would make FC3 better and also you cant control the cockpit which to me for this sim environment is not ok. For MP quick action FC3 is fun. But I don't use this module I would be willing to pay $100 for each full active module in high fidelity and I am also willing to wait for them to be developed. One issue I have found is the sound... A-10C sounds realistic but FC3 sounds are not accurate at all. CJ Kinsey

I have noticed that the water is extremely fast moving in this sim. Smoke is the same I bombed a chemical factory and the smoke is unrealistically fast pouring out of it. I would like to suggest to the development team to fix this if possible. Will EDGE behave this way? Also I was having slow downs and I was not sure why... I disabled the "birds" and this fixed the issue everything on high even with 8x AA seems like 60+FPS on my monitor @ 144hz. Yet I never saw any birds with it enabled... Damn birds :-/

I was up right.... and in the river floating down stream. ;-P

This is really what I am asking but I believe this is the case. The engine when upgraded to EDGE will be much better I am sure as well as better looking.

Should be TB changed.

Thats is my question is it a 32-bit app and they are going to only support 64-bit or what?

Also it's not possible to use multi-core on 32-bit correct me if I am wrong.

Even with system diffrences mine is about the same.

There really is no need to change settings things don't get better because the slowness when it happens it's not a normal thing even with sims like this. I suppose I am not sure how objects in the world are using system resources. So I am hoping that 64-bit will change CPU and memory usage as it should. I can max out just fine. Your 680 is not giving you more then me and my I7 3770 is not doing better then your 2600k which is the problem I am talking about. (32-bit limitations)

I have a Masters degree in Information Systems. I am using Windows 8 64-bit I have not used 32-bit since Windows XP x64 came out.

Today I landed in the river and did not explode. The cool thing is that I was floating down river. :-) Anyways there is a point to this and that is will the 64-bit concept take away to stutters I am having because I am running a 660 OEM and a 3770K I7 16GB RAM. Though in missions there is slowness when I fly along I am getting 70+ FPS even at airport and near ground but when I drop INC. cluster bombs there is massive stutters. Seems like with the 32-bit limitation the 64-BIT version this should not happen any more?

If you were a women I would beat you!!! to the door so I could open it for you... :-)

So out of frustration I just consider me buying P-51 a donation because I cant get this thing to work. So I can drop bombs on it with the A-10C about all it's good for at this point.

Yes, I gave in because the p-51 went on sale. I cant start it I follow youtube vids etc wont start. Where is the training mission? I learned the a-10C which took a year to master. I am 100% sure I am following the start procs. I wont start.

So there is a lot of super slow development on DCS add-ons and new additions. Is the development teams just small and not enough interest or are these projects just for small teams of people that have a passion for this sim? The terrain has been around forever.
