ok thanks mate I'll give that a go. I do have a cooling fan but no water cooling or anything fancy. I've always been wary of OC'ing as I live in Qld Aust (only 2 seasons here - summer and pre-summer!).

I'm glad to hear they working on a proper online dynamic campaign especially one that focuses on logistics and not just killing stuff thats parked out in the open waiting to die. One of the main things I'm looking forward to is somehow incorporating (as part of the above) the ability to destroy buildings, factories, bridges, supplies, trains, vehicles, shipping etc. Thats what I want to be flying in support of. I'm also interested in the next free map they're working on. I'm crossing my fingers it has jungle and I mean proper jungle like Asia or Africa or South America.

ok thanks mate - 'bumping' I'm assuming OC'ing?

ok thanks guys. I'm saving up but have to get approval from my Financial Controller (ie. the wifey). I was thinking about upgrading my SSD (based on chats with a mate who suggested it) but realised the old neck bone is connected to the...something bone...when it comes to pcs and bottlenecking so you have to upgrade your CPU then MOBO then GFX card etc etc lol. Will look at some of the suggestions. Cheers

I have an i5 3570k processor, 32gb of ram and a 6gb 1060 video card - yes its not the latest and greatest but I don't have the funds to purchase anything else. AND (probably the killer) I have DCS on a HDD whilst my OS is on a small 128gb SSD (it was expensive at the time). So, what can I do to improve frames? When I go on larger servers like TTI, my PC chuggs quite a lot, especially around other a/c and buildings. Tips?

Rotary needs some loving!! The Mi24 can't come soon enough. TBH would LOVE a UH60.

I think the E-2 Hawkeye would be an excellent addition. Throw in the ability to man radar on the a/c (remove the ingame AWACS) and suddenly there's a real need for this in MP.

mate, IRL pilots don't tend to see big labels in the sky indicating enemy positions unless there's a JTAC who will mark with smoke and/or lasers.

These are the little things (or maybe big things) that keep me coming back to DCS (modern jets only): - going through proper start up - spawning onto the carrier and just looking out at the beautiful sea swirling past - being able to start up/taxi/catapault takeoff/climb/top up at a tanker/fly to target/bomb/top up at a tanker/return/land on the carrier - all of this - one important factor for me is playing online with others and especially using SRS. I played on a TTI US server yesterday that had like 40 guys on and it was AWESOME to hear they had ATIS, and everyone was on SRS announcing taxi'ing, take offs, landings, etc then switching to another channel which covered AWACS etc then over to another channel prior to target ingress and hearing other calls from pilots announcing their attack runs at different targets. Made me 'feel' like I'm part of a larger war. Was so good hearing two A10s announcing they reached a target (10 mins out from each other) and agreeing proper loiter altitudes for deconfliction. THAT is what flying online is all about.

Dude chill the hell out. He paid for the product and is entitled to say whatever he wants. ED is getting worse with its loose definition of 'EA' and we don't need you to bat for them. Paying $60 doesn't come with a gag order.

I've posted multiple times about this as a wish and was just thinking about it over the weekend. All i want at this stage is the map preferably with the 1960s ear Vietnam war mil bases (Khe Sanh, Danang, etc) plus all the firebases (or major ones anyway). Then we can start using the Huey like they did in early Vietnam (prior to introduction of the Cobra). That would be awesome.

The Huey was released in 2013. Its 2019. Multi crew was promised from the beginning. So where is it? I'm a big supporter of ED but stuff like this really irks me.

ummm all this is great but.....where's my COOP cockpit for the DCS Huey? That product was released in 2013. Thats 6 years ago. I like the fact we have a hornet plus all the additional modules etc however I paid for a Huey which was promised to include COOP cockpits so I could share flying with a mate (or anyone else). Has it come out and I've just missed it?

I love DCS multiplayer however there is something sorely missing from the MP server and thats the feeling I'm fighting in a war ie. when i join servers (eg. TTI) i have to type in INTEL and it'll give me a list of current missions however what I'd prefer is to select a role (eg. CAP or CAS or SEAD) which should then give me an urgent mission to do X or Y which would help the overall war, etc. Right now its just 'blow this up', move to next waypoint, rinse and repeat.

I pretty much do the following: 1. jump in and autostart, take the bird for a spin then land 2. learn how to start the jet (usually following a youtube tutorial and/or printed stuff). Doing it over and over until i know it. Oh and i don't fly anything else in the meantime. 3. learn to employ A2G weapons first starting with dumb bombs, then rockets, etc then moving to A2A 4. learning the radar then trying to put them all together and flying on training servers until I'm confident, then over to the TTI servers

how about we see troops sitting in the back and/or getting into/out of the helicopter (Mi8 and Huey) as well? nothing worse than having to see a 'troops loaded' message instead of being able to just look back and confirm

RW weather would be an awesome addon. None of us control the weather. Thats what RW pilots have to deal with on a daily basis.

Thank you - that is disappointing but it is beta right?

hi guys I've noticed this multiple times but it could be because of something I'm doing or done: - i identify the SAM or radar - i lock it up and do a hand off - it shows H-OFF or something over the target SAM - I fire the missle - the missle then goes ballistic. I mean, i check it and its like 10 nm past the target at 30,000ft and never hits. what would cause that to happen? I've done everything right to fire it.

Because, unlike Xplane, etc, someone can actually mod in a Maverick or a pair of 250lbers to the aircraft and you can blow stuff up!! :)

We have a lot of weapons now for the Hornet (which is awesome!!) but still lack the ability to find/lase targets ourselves - I know the focus has been on HARM TOO, etc but suddenly its dropped off the radar??

I've posted this multiple times - we need period or campaign specific 'things' (i use that term loosely) in DCS ie. Vietnam (map, aircraft, assets) Korea (map, aircraft, assets) Gulf War WW2 etc they way stuff is developed for DCS is annoying as anything. F86 + Mig 15 yet NO korea map?? what about the F2H, the P80, the F4U, the F-9? No, we have 2 aircraft for use on the same Georgia map. Same with WW2. We have the P51, BF109, FW190, Spitfire and 1 map - Normandy which from what i see is a waste of bloody resources as noone seems to be hosting it. I REALLY wish the devs at DCS focused on something like this. Do it properly.

This. hands down.
