Air-Force-1

I downloaded the A10C V1.1.1.1, all is well, it's separate from DCS world, is it possible to have it on DCS world launch alongside my P51 etc ? Thanks

Thanks

Hi which folder do I place a mission file multiplayer (miz) in please? Hads a good look in all the folders cant see any miz files :( Thanks

Go through the training tutorials Rodd, they really help. The P51 will fly easy but you have to check trims and speed etc. Taking off took me a few times to perfect, I dont use take off assistance now. Hold the breaks, 5" rudder starboard trim, nose trim down a little, apply power till 30 presssure, release breaks, pull stick back a little to keep tail wheel on the deck, if the tail wheel rises at this point you will leave the runway :helpsmilie: Around 50 mph increase throttle smoothly to around 60 pressure, centralise the stick, a couple of small rudder inputs, @ V2 100kts IAS rotate, pull back the stick gently and you are away:-) :thumbup: Most sims are too easy and dont represent how an aircraft should handle. Real planes only need small gentle inputs and constant monitoring of instuments :smilewink: Its all about energy management, I guess you know this as a real pilot already

Surely XP is the most stable and common OS there is?

I tend to agree, although my rig runs every piece of software I throw at it ok. I think the engine may have older features though (LOMAC legacy features) rather than newer ones

Many thanks, hopefully the data posted here on this thread will help in conjunction with ........... Minimal system requirements: OS: Windows XP, Vista; CPU: 2 GHz; RAM: 1 GB; Graphics: 256 MB ATI or nVidia, DirectX 9 compatible; Sound card; 4 GB of free space on HDD; Copy protected, requires internet activation. and Recommended system requirements: (medium end PC rig) OS: Windows Vista for launching in fullscreen mode; CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6850+, AMD Phenom 9850+; RAM: 2+ GB; Graphics: 512+ MB ATI HD 2900+ or nVidia 8800+; Sound card; 4+ GB of free space on HDD; Copy protected, requires internet activation; Joystick.

In my case, screen freeze and the need for hard reboot. What is your rig set up? thanks

Can your PC run BS with no related issues? see poll above Can we have a list of PC rigs which can actually play BS with no PC related isuues? There seems to be a lot of problems even on top end rigs. Please note I am just curious and want to get the best out of this fantastic sim. My setup is as follows DCS BS English DVD XP PRO 32 sp3 dx 9c 250 GIG RAPTOR ATI 4870 INTEL 8500 3 GIG CORE 2 DUO 700 WATT PSU 4 GIG CORSAIR 1066 (3.33 GIG for xp 32) P5Q DELUXE mobo Nothing is overclocked and all is running at low temps. Freeze occurs usually after 10 mins and requires a full reboot I have tried various ATI drivers and settings, but always get a freeeze in MP or SIM mode.

I suspect the long load times are due to the code used to write this game. LOMAC suffered the same problems and bugs

It might be better if we have a thread showing what PC rigs can actually run BS with no errors

Bad news :(

Thanks, kind of dissappointing isnt it :cry: I cant beleive it after all the testing that was done. Perhaps some relics in this sim from LOMAC which had similar problems. I think it has been released too early also, too many bugs etc.

It must be a BS problem as my rig uses twice as much juice when video editing , and plays FS X on full with excellent fps :cry: Thanks

It happens when "undo" key is pressed (above F2 when F lock is off ) and has happened to me several times. The chopper spins on its horizontal axis anti clockwise. Press Left Ctrl+F1 ( natural head movement view) and then select Z or X key. This stabilises the chopper once more. This is obviously a bug This sorts it out. ;)

Ok thanks. Merry XMAS :smartass:

When is the boxed English Version of DCS: "Black Shark", available to buy ? thanks

Thanks again guys. I searched for reasons to upgrade to 64 and here they are Top 5 reasons to get to Windows XP Professional x64 Edition High performance platform for the next generation of applications Windows XP Professional x64 Edition is a rich platform that enables the next generation of high-performance computing. 64-bit native applications can deliver more data per clock cycle, making them run faster and more efficiently. Large memory support Windows XP Professional x64 Edition supports up to 128 gigabytes (GB) of RAM and 16 terabytes of virtual memory, enabling applications to run faster when working with large data sets. Applications can preload substantially more data into virtual memory, allowing rapid access by the 64-bit processor. Flexibility Windows XP Professional x64 Edition provides a rich platform to integrate 64-bit applications and existing 32-bit applications using the Windows on Windows 64 (WOW64) x86 emulation layer, providing customers with the ability to move to 64-bit computing without having to sacrifice their existing investment in 32-bit software and Windows expertise. Multiprocessing and multicore Windows XP Professional x64 Edition is designed to support up to two single or multicore x64 processors for maximum performance and scalability. Same programming model Developers with 32-bit skills will be comfortable and quickly productive in the 64-bit Windows environment, finding it virtually identical to the development environment for 32-bit Windows. thanks

Thanks guys. what will the XP 64 version do better? Sorry I am not a PC expert , thanks

Thank you sir. All I need now is Black Shark !!!!!

Guys, will my new system(next week !!) be able to run BS ok ?

A: Although not final, we project the minimum specification to be as follows: CPU: 2 GHz; RAM: 1 GB; Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce FX with 256 MB of RAM / ATI Radeon X1300 with 256 MB of RAM or equivalent; 3 GB free HD space; Operating system: Windows XP SP2 and Vista with DirectX 9 or 10. thanks

Sorry sir, thanks, hope it's available soon

Can someone give me the link to download/buy BLACK SHARK please , thanks

I would say it is highly unlikely you would pass the medical. The G forces alone ( up to 12 G ) would possibly cause long term spinal damage. That aside, if you eject from an aircraft , with normal spinal vertebrae, you will almost certainly have severe spinal bruising at best. At worst long term back damage ! good luck :pilotfly:
