I also wonder why you bring Su-27 into this discussion? It had nothing to do with your real life stats from the Gulf War, or has it ever been in engagement with the F-15. You can talk/try to compare MiG-29A for this only... but even then its pointless as hardly anyone flies it in MP.

Even though I have 2nd (1st cancelled) order for OR, I am thinking again to cancel it again and wait for StarVR. That 210° must be really great.

erm.... never thought of trying this... will do next time :)

You can make a beautiful woman smarter, but not so much smart woman prettier :D (not beside what makeup can do anyway, well plastic surgery also, but then the aerodynamic shape is changed completely which is no longer the same woman :music_whistling: ) :D

It really depends on the soil, some grass runways are specially prepared (I think they compact gravel underneath the top surface to make the surface harder), but normal fields would not be (and would be too soft). In winter though, ground is mostly frozen and I think should be possible to taxi on it especially for lighter aircraft.

What he said :music_whistling: But you don't need to change it 10. Set it to 2 or 3 max, otherwise your FPS will be unplayable.

You could be onto a bug, The pitot tube is in front of the aircraft for a reason (so that it is not affected by airflow from the air frame). Mach 1 should be showing Mach 1 on the instrument (with small percentage of error of course, but not a lot) and if you see high error, I would say this is a bug.

still is

This is actually a bug (and reported while back), you'll need to wait till ED fixes it (hopefully with Caucasus update estimated later this year)

Very beautiful to watch

Nothing about democracy here. You did not do any work for this, Starway did, so he only is entitled to decide what to do with his work, sell it or give it for free. It is not up to you or anyone else on this forum do say/decide what he is to do.

Guys, its been pointed out a few times, this is an OPTIONAL DLC for the terrain textures, you don't have to buy it if you don't like it or you think its not worth it or you can't afford it. No one is making you have to buy it. Please don't complain about this, its what Starway wanted to do (to get some value for his hard work instead of doing all the work and everyone getting it for free) so please respect that. Once more, you don't have to buy if you don't want... so nothing to complain about here.

DCS is using 2 therads... 1 for the sim engine and 1 for the sound (the soung engine won't use much CPU cycles anyway) so at best DCS will use around 30% of the CPU power for 4 core processors. I think the shadows are the biggest impact on FPS by far but they are rendered on graphics card, not the CPU. I was thinking that DCS should get another pre-set for Graphics options, namely for VR. I can't wait to get my OR to see how it goes, and if I can change some settings to improve performance... but this is few months away for me.

Yeah... something like that (above video). But on more thought I think lot of pressure from the strap could poten5ially break the colar bones... so better scrap this idea.

I've just had a brain fart :) but would still like to share it in case this is actually very doable Well first off all what is the consequences of higher G-Force? 1. Its the increase of weight on your body pulling you into the seat 2. loss of blood in your brain due to blood being pushed down Now, I'll pass on the second as I don't know how you could simulate this other than either start draining your blood out by some pump, and then back into your arm :music_whistling: but the first is somewhat doable Imagine you have a seat where there are straps tied over your shoulders (or could even go to the extreme and make some over your head), now all you need is them to be strong (but comfortable) straps that are being pulled down (tightened) by some motorized roller? The more G you pull in the sim, the tighter the straps pull you down into the seat? Good idea or not? I imagine this would not require some very fancy or space consuming setup, all you'd need is something to pull the straps which would give same effect as G-force pulling you into the seat? You could go more detailed and add some straps to your arm to pull them down also. Crazy I know... but I have a felling this could actually work :)

Wait till DCS Hornet hits the shelves, that won't be the case any more :smilewink:

My guess is also that textures contain more layers now, include specular layer same as external skins. And as they are same resolution as texture layers, it will add to image memory size.

I don't see any valid reasons to complain about this realistic feature. You should not be disabling the FLSC in situations where you are fast as it can make the aircraft pull more G's then what it is rated (designed) for. If you want to be a good VR pilot, then learn not to do things real pilot would not do (not a good one anyway). Why you see this as "not fun" is beyond me... is it all about winning in MP here even if it means doing things you would never even be able to in real life? I fly the flanker and never have the need to disable the G limiter. The Flanker flies just fine with it on... it is very manoeuvrable airframe but if very heavy then don't fly it as it if were light and empty of fuel and weapons and you won't over-G the airframe and won't break it. If you are against another Flanker that is lighter, and the guy flies it good, well that's just tough luck. You can't win every time.

^^^ Good point. I saw that stress testing procedure and what they said was that if the testing part can withstand more force then required its considered to have room for improvement meaning reduction in weight. Same thing applies for the airframe. If its too strong it means its too heavy and should be redesigned to reduce weight. I am not sure if you would hear cracking while airfrsme is bending (considering you have other external noises and you wear helmet) but the pilot would not wait to hear such noises in the first place. Pilot should know what not to do do that he doesn't overstress the aircraft. Why somilator pilots shouldn't be doing the same?

So many hot shots pilots here, I'd like to see all of you fly the Flanker for real and start pulling off so many G's and see how your body handles it. You guys so easily forget that you are sitting very comfortably in a chair at 1G so you have no clue what it would be like for you to fly the real jet the way you fly it on PC. You just wouldn't... if you did, you would most likely either end up being dead, or would very quickly lose your job as a pilot. Real people (pilots) in real jet know how hard it is when pulling G's, so they know not to do those sort of things... you don't, why you think this new feature is unrealistic. If you were flying pulling 20-30G, you don't know how to fly... full stop.

Checked the registries... they look all correct EDIT: I found what was wrong, "Simshaker.xml" was still pointing to old tester install folder, which I changed recently. Its updating it automatically now so all's good :)

This feature request (bug report) has already been submitted to ED ( #31014 )

This feature request has already been created and submitted to ED ( #30468 )

dissignator, I think I got the solution (it fixed it for me) Open and edit (with Notepad++) this file: C:\DCS\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD\declare_kneeboard_device.lua and copy/paste this text on the bottom of this file: creators[705] = {"avLuaDevice", lfs.writedir() .. "Scripts\\SimShaker-export-core\\ExportDevice.lua"} will that fix it for you also?

But you don't have Trunk (testers version) :) For me afterburner effect works in 1.5.3 version (public version) but not in testers version
