My first dogfight in the F-86 Went well until I started admiring my handiwork :doh:

Same problem. I posted it in the CA bug reporting but obviously the bug isn't related to the unit switch when you are game master but is every time you jump into a new plane as well, whether you are game master or not.

Anyone know anything about this?

I've noticed a problem when starting a mission as a game master. It seems that when you try to jump into a radar equipped aircraft using the F10 option or Ralt + J... the control to enable the radar doesn't work. You can see the FCR flash on and then off if you hit the button repetitively but it is not on for more than a split second. Edit: also only the beyond visual range Air to Air and Air to ground modes work. Does anyone know a fix/workaround or is it an ED problem?

So well I'm back :) Sorry for the sudden death of this project and my own disappearance for a couple of years. I'm afraid as soon as i was set ready to release the first full video, a combination of medical problems and computer problems left me with little time to do the rest of it. So after a few years of focusing on ArmA 2 video's and groups I have came back for the release of the huey. If there is an overwhelming need for me to re-start the project I certainly will but not in the style i was originally intending. More of a, how to do this, this and this rather than, this is every page of the CDU and this is how to do everything because i really don't have the time lately with work. But I can always squeeze the odd tutorial in. But first things first, I need to figure out how to take off with the huey, might be necessary for a tutorial :P

Welcome to the forums mate! And well done on your vid ;)

Don't know why they changed it to the USS Montana but funny all the same

Yep thats right I already had that installed and no luck. I re-installed the nvidia 500 series drivers and the theme came back and i could get a screan saver working... however I then re-booted and back to basic theme and no screensaver... same with beta drivers.

I'm sorry but I don't see anything of use there... it just shows how to find what version of directx I have: directx 11. Is there no way to update the drivers or something to activate direct 3D?

Could you please provide a link to the updater so I can be sure I've got the right versions? Tnx

Hi there! So ive just built my new PC but i seem to be having a direct X 11 or direct 3D problem. I've downloaded the lastest drivers from Nvidia for the GTX 560ti and windows is fully updated. However, the windows theme and transparency of the task bar etc are stuck at windows basic, and i cant get any screensaver to work as it say Direct 3D is unavailable. Looking into DxDiag, it seems all options under Directx features are not available, including Direct 3D. Has anyone had experience with this problem or knows how I can fix it? :helpsmilie: Tnx

Ok so i've been looking at a friends gtx 560ti card and ive done a little looking around and there really isn't that much difference it seems between the gtx 560ti and the gtx 570.... which for £100 cheaper seems odd: heres some benchmarking: http://www.hwcompare.com/8999/geforce-gtx-560-ti-vs-geforce-gtx-570/ I really dont see the point in spending £100 more for 10fps what do u think?

Hi there! So Im currently building a new system and I've ran into a slight problem: As there are so many types of gtx 570.... which one to buy? The main company's gtx 570's i've been looking at are ASUS and EVGA's models. So far i've worked out that the ASUS has the better cooling, quieter fans, and more overclocking potential, due to the better cooling..... however the hot air seems to escape into the case before it can be vented out the back. EVGA: stock cooling, slightly louder... however the air seems to more effectively escape out the back. My case is the cooler master elite 430 with no fan opposite the graphics card so im kind of worried that the ASUS will radiate around the bottom half of the case before finding a way past the graphics card. Also, has anyone had any experience with the software that comes with each card? Tnx!

RIP Flight Lieutenant Sean Cunningham

I won't be going extreme with the over clocking. And I think i will go for a Coolermaster kit, with the LGA 1155 socket course. Tnx.

So what kind of cooling will a PC of this type need? I've never had to worry about it before :)

"Black Shark 2 Released" WOW wasn't expecting that... :huh:

Got it... and thanks again.:thumbup:

Ive just had a look through THIS article and it said that the I5 2500k supports to 1333 MHz. However, the RAM sticks are 1600MHz. Have I mis-understood or are they un-compatible?

Yep i see it. Thanks for the help much appreciated :thumbup: Now to Finnish the list :)

Thanks m8! they aren't set in stone so anything you think will work better will be much appreciated.

Ok i'l rip my computer apart and have a look what PSU it has tonight Ive just had a look into the specs of the RAM and it said "Test Voltage: 1.50-1.65V" I think this is the right one. Is this ok or will i have to choose some other RAM to keep the voltage at 1.50v?

Hi guy's/ PC hardware Guru's Ok so I'm trying to build a new computer for the first time to play DCS and Battlefield 3 among others. At the time of buying my last computer I was quite up to date with computer hardware as in i told the shop what i wanted and they made it..... however, not any more. :) Please excuse my lack of understanding in this topic :music_whistling: So this is what I'm thinking so far: Not a complete list yet. maximus iv gene-z motherboard intel I5 2500K @3.30 GHz, 8MB Cache processor Nvida Geforce GTX 570 graphics card 8GB Kingston Hyper-x Genesis dual DDR3 1600MHz RAM 500GB WD5002AALX SATA 6 Gb/s, Hard drive CORSAIR 750W TX750 V2-80 PSU My current PC spec is: Intel Quad Core Q8300 @2.5GHz Processor 500 gig SATA - 7200rpm Hard drive 4 gig DDR2 RAM Asrock 4core 1600 GLAN Motherboard 1 gig nvida geforce 9800gt Graphics Card 620 WATT PSU My first question is: Can i rip any parts out of my old pc to use in the new one? I'm thinking that PSU is worth swapping but I don't know if it's compatible or will supply enough juice. And that hard drive looks good to swap but its slowly dying of old age so i think il bin it. Second question: im not exactly the best with PC hardware or the pricing of it either... so can you see any improvements that are worth while, or any errors i've made in compatibility? And finally: can you suggest any compromises to save money? Thanks so much for your time :thumbup:

I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go on there Andy McNab :)
