Will moving to 64-bit bring any better graphics then the current engine? The current engine is kinda outdated, no? Demanding crysis or mirrors edge type of graphics can be a little too much but expecting a little more bumps, vegetation, buildings, living environment must not be too much:) (By the way, think of flying BS in mirrors edge kind of a city:) Nice...)

The multi monitor support of BS is definitely not a support but a PITA... Hope ED will fix this mass with the upcoming patch...

Thanks for the replies...

What is a warrant officer and CW2? Pilot or gunnerman?

I understand what you mean and dont know a solution for that. When I approach the monitor and keep looking at the the ABRIS for instance for a long time, TrackIR centres the view. But I dont think that pausing is a real solution for that problem. I should not pause the game if I want to look at a certain place in the cockpit for a long time.

I dont think that, in any part of its future life, DCS will turn out to be something like Armed Assault... Maybe the ground troops could be controlled in a way like strategy games, but some sort of high fidelity hardcore fps elements would make the game very huge...

See the quality in craftmanship of the cockpit? Even home-made, entertaintment-purpose pits have a higher level of build quality then the actual Ka-50:) But I guess that is a general problem in Russian aircrafts...

The current terrain is kinda dull with very few bumps and heights and vegetation... I think a desert terrain would be a lot more boring in that sense:)

This is great post covering all of the problems related to multi-monitor setups. From the beginning setting up multi monitor configuration is a real PITA, not mentioning all other problems related to after setup process.

What does this affinity tool do?

These airforce base model make me remember Fighter Ops WIP models... Hope the development of these stuff does not take as long as FO...

I really dont know how many times my pilot died. Everytime I am killed, I am starting from the very beginning as a leutenant:) I am still a leutenant, no progress here:) But Bradmick made a good point anyway...

By the way, I have this question regarding multi monitor set-ups: How do we plug 3 monitors on a video card? I have a 4870 and it has 2 dvi sockets, enabling only ywo monitors. How should I connect 3 monitors to a 2 dvi video card?

OK I suppose I have to try saving track function. Lock-on had a terrible saving function, which worked well rarely:) I thought maybe a better save function was implemented in DCS. Anyway, for the time being I have to learn getting killed less:)

Sorry guys, I was able to find an answer via search function. Is there a way to make in-game saves (like f6 in some FPS games)? I make cold starts, follow waypoints and sometimes kill some guys, and when I am shot down (which happens offenly), I have to restart everything from the beginning. If there is a save function, I will be very happy:)

Wow, there is so much detail here. Great work man...

Same here, the video wont work after 1 min. I agree about the atmospheric modelling of FSX far more beautiful then BS engine. But I guess the current BS engine is not suitable for such atmosphering modelling. FSX has a more flexible and add-on friendly structure I suppose. Maybe in future DCS add-ons, we will be delighted with such atmosphere...

I finally managed to come up with a solution with 3 monitors (one being the ghost monitor). Is there a way to reach the same solution with 2 monitors (with no ghost monitors)? I have 2 monitors, each running at 1280*1024. By the way, I now understand that the opsion menu for multi monitors under GUI is totally useless, unless you know how to deal with the lua files. You just cannot set up your multi monitor configuration with just selecting the appropriate option under graphics menu of the options section. Am I wrong?

OK I finally did it... I cannot see the fps counter and the speed, elevation etc data on the f2 or f3 views (as they are all supposedly be rendered on the ghost monitor), but I guess I can live with that for the moment:)

I did that now mate but it did no good...

This time, I managed to get shkval and ABRIS on my main monitor, to the right of the main camera view. Shkval and ABRIS were placed with right resolutions and right places but on the wrong monitor:)

Hello people... After reading 22 pages of multi monitor tread and trying resolutions for 2 hours, I got nothing... I guess I am the only idiot here who still did not manage the setup:) I have 2 monitors: 19 inch CRT 1600*1200 (main camera window) 17 inch CRT 1280*1024 (I want to use this for Shkval and ABRIS, as most people do) These monitors are of the same brand, same quality trinitron monitors (namely, Philips 109p4 and Philips 107p4), they work properly. No problem on the monitor side. I run vista 64, no problem on running two monitors on desktop. I have intel e8600 with ati 4870 with 4 gbs of ram. Here ise my "2MonitorTest" lua file: And my options lua file is as follows: My problem is, no matter what I do, I get a streched main window with no ABRIS or Shkval. The game recognizes the set up as a 3 monitor set up and streches the main camera view to these 3 monitors, one being the ghost one. What am I doing wrong?

For night missions, I turn the tags on:) Otherwise, I can see nothing even with the NVG:)

What is this affinity thing? I also have vista 64 on intel c2d e8600. Does this affinity thingy has anything to do with that?

Then I dont know the reason of that, maybe a bug... After landing on the frigate, I shut all the engines and systems down. And guess what, I was not able to restart Ka-50 back, because there was no ground ac-dc power on the frigate:)
