The day my half meg upgrade died was a sad day.

Not even close to being a simulator but mine was Ace of Aces on the Atari 800XL: It was the Atari ST that got me into sims though (still only games really); mostly F19 Stealth Fighter, F29 Retaliator, Fighter Bomber, Flight of the Intruder and of course Falcon. For 2 player action you couldn't beat Skychase:

Not the cost speculation again! :doh:

Bargain. I might just have to snap up the Hawk then. Thanks.

Am I right in thinking the Hawk is just Standard Flight Model for now and you have to pay extra for Advanced? Just bought Huey and Mig-15 but holding off on Hawk as not sure what exactly I'm paying for.

Now that is interesting. Thanks for posting this!

Just spotted this thread, might have to check it out. Thanks!

I think I'd have to zoom in anyway, even without those icons. I always switch to landscape view on my Xperia Z2.

If the issue is download speed, have you tried a different mirror, or even the Torrent?

I don't think DCS has out grown itself, maybe it has out grown your monthly download allowance; did you know that GTA V is a 60Gb download!? Bigger downloads, faster broadband (more memory, faster graphics cards, processors, SSD's, the list goes on), it's all the future and unfortunately we all need to keep up. Edit: Just had a look at my most recent purchases on Steam and to be honest they are all over 9Gb (Thief (24Gb), GTA V (62Gb), Skyrim (13Gb), Dragon Age (16Gb) and Metro: Last Light (10Gb)).

You don't have "Reset zoom" or "Centre view" accidently bound to a toggle switch or slider, do you?

Awesome.

I think you need to be running the same version as the server to be able to see it. Are you running beta?

Working fine here; probably just uploading latest version.

Tracks recorded in previous versions of DCS can sometimes be incompatible with current version too.

Each aircraft has its own set of control assignments, some also have different controls for arcade mode and simulation.

Slowly slowly, catchy monkey.

If you gently wobble your stick and the movement registers in game, I would set a small deadzone. Saturation can probably stay as it is. Use a positive value for curvature if you find either pitch/roll/yaw overly sensitive at the start of it's movement range.

Sounds to me like you have your TrackIR z axis mapped to zoom. Check your axis settings. Edit: unless of course you want it mapped to zoom in which case try leaning forward a bit, hit "centre TrackIR" key, then when you lean back again it'll zoom out. I guess you'll have to edit LUAs to change the default zoom that you get when you centre your TrackIR.

You can start DCS and select Multiplayer from the main screen, or run the Multiplayer .exe from your Start menu or inside your DCS folder. If you're interested in Virtual Aerobatics I recommend reading Pman's articles on the VA website, and also check in on the VA server, plenty of helpful bods on there who will offer advice. http://www.virtual-aerobatics.com/petes-blog/my-journey-into-formation-aerobatics/ Might see you on there! :pilotfly:

5 years already!? Wow, that went quick. In that case, good point, well made :) Edit: From June last year http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=126222&highlight=dx11. Not quite 100% but 96.77%.

Did a search of the forums but nothing came up; with less than 2 weeks to go, just wondering what everyones thoughts are on this: Big fan of the original and would love to see this happen.

That chart actually shows a loss in average performance (in Lost Planet 2) with DX11 over DX9; I assume, however, that this is because of additional DX11 features in that particular game, e.g. tesselation. Edit: And do we all really use DX11 supported hardware...?

Do you use the Saitek profile software to map your buttons? That's what I mean. You can assign key commands to each button. So, you have your slider mapped to zoom? Did you map that in game (in DCS options), or with Saitek software? And it freaks out? You mean the view? Or nothing will respond?

No :) I have a button on my x52 mapped to Ctrl+Shift+F12 and set the same combination as push to talk in Team speak; works fine.
