In this video (1:21min) I see there is PCI Subsystem Settings (for PCI/PCI-E settings), also you have Power Management Setup page, some power saving features can cause stuttering also. So that's where I'd look to try change some settings (depending what there is to adjust)

Alright what is your mb model. I will see it I can find the bios options for it tomorrow

I can give you some hints that might help with that. First go into M/B BIOS and look for PCI latency setting, I think it should be 64 by default. Try setting it to 32, ans alsoni BIOS settings, if you also have some power setting for PCI-e (graphics card) bus, disable it. I have had stuttering also even though my fps was decent (could be in 30's or 40's) but it looked like it had very noticeable stuttering, I was trying to figure out why, and thought it has to do with PCI latencies, so I thought raising it more would help, but then I read that its better to lower it (I know PCI lanes are not for video card ut I thought maybe some oter device didn't have enough time on PCI bus so I raised it) and that real time data like sound and video is better to lower it so now I keep it at 32. Then I also noticed my BIOS has this setting to enable some power saving or something for PCI-e lanes... and I never thought of it could be doing it (and it's enabled by default on my m/b) and recently I disabled this option and now (at least in testers version) its actually smoother.

I think I know why you don't see target speed and altitude info... you must be using CAC (Close Air Combat) mode like VS (vertical Scan)?

In EOS mode when targetis locked its speed and altitude is shown, but I think this is because radar is used also to give this info (even if you don't turn it on manually). In CAC modes like VS or Bore mode, this is not shown. If you really want us to show you why you don't see it you'll have to post a screenshot (help us help you)

They show different things in different modes. Screenshot above shows NAV mode so no target info is there as there is no target in this mode. In NAV mode you get what speed and altitutde you need to be at for your next WP. Why don't you post screenshot that shows them not being there?

Negative G's

Well you can't have everything... you can't have high FPS and HQ pit and not so high PC (or what the PC tech can do at any given time). Something has to give and I don't think lowering quality of the pit of the MiG-21 is the answer... once more... wait till EDGE is out.

Dead man walkin? :)

Doesn't look fake to me... at around 3:06m I think you can see the engine underside openings flapping, which they do in real aircraft when slow and at high AoA........ aaaaaand DCS doesn't have this effect on the 3D model so it can't be DCS :D

Very funny this Flanker FM (real or not real) I just tried this also, granted I did it in latest Tester's version, not 1.2.14, and I get weird result also With FBW On at around 900Km/h IAS I need to be fully trimmed down to fly level hands free. Watching in externals and I see elevator pretty much at neutral position... whaaaat? With FBW Off at around 870Km/h IAS (I spent some fuel in process so little less speed was probably due to less weight) I managed to fly straight and level, WITHOUT any trim needed! This doesn't seem right indeed.

That friction you talk about pilot doesn't feel as it doesn't transferr to stick. The air friction will only transferr into higher drag, and puts more pressure force on the wing, but doesn't block it from moving, as both part of the elevator are working oposite each other (as whole wing is elevator and rotates pretty close to its center where its hinged to the fuselage)

Yes, I know, ailerons are different from elevators (with old aircraft elevators that were only part of the wing, would block at high speed as they were too hard to move... which is why they thought about making whole wing move (and that solves it)... so at any speed the elevator is still movable.

Make sure that in game options, Misc. tab, User snap-view saving option is ticked (enabled), then save cockpit angles command will work.

that isnotcorrect though. In modern fast jets elevators are epecifically designed to be able to move even at high speeds... and that is for them to be hinged and rotating around their center (whole wing moves).

I noticed that too, when very light the lift force is greater and even max trim down still leaves some need to push stick forward tad more. Now about that FBW controls... I don't understand why the computer would need to adjust trim? I understand that computer adjusts pilots physical controls to not put aircraft into bad flight parameters, but using trim, and literally flying hands free (physical stick centered) why would the computer need to adjust there? Trimming is not the same as yanking the stick all the way, which without computer input, would make you into bad position... Trim is adjusted slowly and once set (with or without computer input) pilot's hands are off the stick... so it doesn't make any sense for need from computer to further adjust Trim? Basically what I'm saying is that I am not of the opinion that turning FBW off (pressing S key) should not suddenly push the nose down, instead plane should just keep flying level as it was flying leved to begin with. :huh: EDIT: wait, I think I get it now... at slow speed the computer can allow for more direct control surface deflection, while at higher speeds the computer reduces them (same stick deflection but at higher speed the actual control surface deflection is less than stick deflection) So as you turn off the computer, suddenly control surface deflection increases, causing the already set Trim to be too high, hence the nose suddenly goes down.

I would actually like to see taxing turning with rudder only without braking disabled, I preffer the realistic way (using brakes) even if its harder.

Edge is dx11

I think price is fine. If you are poor you will find everything is expensive... but expensive or not is relative. I determine if something is "worth" or not by amount of money to spend vs time of fun/use I will get. If you get hours, weeks, months or years on somehting that costs as 2 movie tickets... that is not expensive in my eyes. But anyway, each to his own... I like to support developers that produce quality aircraft (when I am able to) so I have no issues to buy it (and I just did). Once they complete C-101's they will work on something else, probably better and more popular (you need to start with simpler initially anyway, and learn along the way) but hey, if they can't make their hard work worth while, they are not likely to keep working (on other aircraft) so really... only way for any developer to keep doing what they are doing, is to earn a living and be able to support their work. Just buy it if you like it and can afford it (but hey you don't need me to tell you this, you know this already :))

Don't let it expire, if you do at least don't drink it :)

I've been using this sim for years now (as many others) and never had any issue with it. I don't know how often you change your hardware (erm... surely it's not that frequent) and if you do, by the time you run out of 10 activations (that is if you upgrade PC every year), you still have years till you run out... and when and if you do, it gets replenished by 1 new activation in a month. This is not bad at all so I don't know what your issue is. There's been many upgrades in sim and I've upgraded my PC many times (new SSD, new Video card etc) and not once did I have issues, and I still have few activations left. So I don't understand that you see such big issue with it... it's no issue at all, and ED need to protect their intellectual property and hard work, you cannot complain about that.

Cannons, rockets, bombs and missiles for me :)

I didn't get the wink ... but you're right, he was pulling our leg :-)

na, don't need to edit anything in Graphics.cfg What you want to edit is in ...Config/Terrain/High.lua (if you are using High Visibility setting) and in there edit this part but once more, high FoV and it won't be as effective

Its the same with cockpit view in any aircraft, zoom in and distance of objects on terrain increases. In the UH-1H you have larger FoV in cockpit then in externals, that's why you see less of the buildings. You can manually increase the distances also but if you still use use wider FoV it won't matter much as the size scale is not the same with different FoV. What I mean by this, even if you increased buildings distances to 30Km, they won't look very visible as they will be very small as they will be scaled down. But if you reduce FoV in cockpit (where you lose peripherial vision) they will be larger (like in that F2 view) and then you can notice them at further distance.
