  1. 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?

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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!

  5. It applies to pretty much all Sandies (I haven't checked all 3 billion variants of it though :P ). Basically, intel considers any RAM above 1333 to be overclocked. This means on first boot you might see the computer default your RAM to 1333, but you can correct this to the appropriate JEDEC profile in BIOS.

     

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

  6. It appears they have both 1.65 and 1.5v kits under that name. The KHX1600C9D3P1K2/8G part is a 2-dimm kit (two 4GB sticks) with 1.5v CL9 and should definitely work. 1.65v kits might also work, but Intel doesn't like it.

     

    Yep i see it. Thanks for the help much appreciated :thumbup:

     

    Now to Finnish the list :)

  7. I know.

    What I said was: check them out for their voltage. ;)

     

    Just being "DDR3" is not enough to guarantee compatibility.

     

    Chrisakky, I'll see if I can find those memory modules and figure them out. It does sound like they should work just fine.

     

    Thanks m8!

     

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

  8. 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:
