Intermediate Experienced DCS User w a few F-14 Questions
Paganus replied to redmantab's topic in DCS: F-14A & B
You might want to add a bit of curve to your controls. That should help with the wing snapping. -
Log into your profile and pull up the purchase. Make sure it shows the transaction completed. Sometimes the order process becomes separate from the payment. At least it has for me.

Ejection seat; I think an extra 0 was added to the distance calculation. 2700' is a bit high, but a fun ride. Enjoying the module.

Game hangs at 10% after fresh install.
Paganus replied to Destroyer37's topic in Installation Problems
Looks like it might be a permissions problem. Make sure you run it as administrator whenever the Program Files folder is involved. Otherwise install it outside of Program Files. -
Yes, you both must own it.

IMHO it's not just the amount of RAM that matters. 16GB of fast RAM, and a video card with at least 8GB onboard, appears to do the trick. The DRM is slowly migrating to the new account based system. Can't happen fast enough.

DCS Specific Computer Build - Feedback Requested
Paganus replied to Tread_Head57's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
That's a pretty good budget build. :thumbup: IMHO, get a video card with at least 8GB if you can. -
I setup front seat controls. I didn't spend a lot of time on it, just the basics. The Axis settings were mostly correct already, so it didn't take long. I jumped into instant action dogfight. Why waste time learning how to fly it first? It starts nose to nose with a Flanker in visual range, but you're already configured for a gunfight. I managed to tell Jester to jet the bags before we merged. The power of the engines, the violent shaking as I pull her to the edge of her envelope, is a blast. It has a great seat of the pants feel. It took several turns and loops and some missed shots, but I eventually knocked out his engines. This thing can dogfight. I floated my first landing and had to go around. I had read the cat likes to float in landing configuration, but it was more than expected. I brought her around slow and shallow waiting for gravity to kick in. When she gets real slow the feeling of mass sets in hard and fast. Brought her to a stop with plenty of runway. Then I took a moment to look around. We already knew how great she looks from the pics and videos, but it's worth saying again how visually stunning it is, inside and out. If this thing doesn't have you grinning from ear to ear, you're not doing it right! I need to go fly it again.

Another 737-8 MAX plunges down with no surviors
Paganus replied to Worrazen's topic in Military and Aviation
This article gives a pretty good description of whats going on with this MCAS system... https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-safety/what-is-the-boeing-737-max-maneuvering-characteristics-augmentation-system-mcas-jt610/ -
You could try deleting the fxo and metashaders2 folders in saved games. This will cause a longer than normal load time the 1st time you load the sim, and a mission, but it might, I say might, fix you.

How to make an AI Aircraft spawn triggered by your presence?
Paganus replied to Belphe's topic in Mission Editor
Look at this... activate AI plane on trigger.miz -
You can try the global cockpit illumination option in settings, if you haven't already.

I just tested mine. @ 30K with the radiators forced open to keep it from overheating, my speed stays between 220-240 with manifold pressure between 45-50. You may want to run it and post the track.

I think our Huey isn't 100% either. The weapon mounting system and countermeasures are not period correct. It all comes down to the version/variant/country/era. When Saudi was using the F5, they had one of the most advanced versions. They were factory modified for advanced AA and AG weapons.

BUILDING NEW PC SEEKING OPINIONS
Paganus replied to ZQuickSilverZ's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Is this going to run VR? Multi-monitor? Resolution? I agree with Rudel_chw about that CPU, unless you have some non-DCS reason for wanting 12 cores. As an example, here's an off the shelf for half the price that I would argue, could run DCS as well as your spec. https://www.microcenter.com/product/511665/g432-desktop-computer Not pushing this machine or company. Just as an example. -
On the menu click "MISSION" On the next screen your modules are on the left. Select Combined Arms... You should see 13 mission on the right.
-
A module typically comes with missions arranged in 4 groups. There is a button for each on the menu. Instant action - short single missions that start with you near the action Mission - single missions Campaign - a string of missions that progress in order automatically Training - training missions With CA you should have 12-14 missions in the mission group. Nothing in the other groups.
-
There should be about a dozen basic CA missions that come with the module. There is no free campaign. There are no instant action. Frontlines Georgia is basic, buggy and brutal all at the same time. It's not a good starting point. Find those included missions to start out with. CA currently shines brightest in MP. Used for JTAC or GCI on servers like Blue Flag. It's also invaluable if you are running missions for your squad as a game master.

We already have a base model M4, 75mm as well as the firefly.:music_whistling: An Easy 8 would be a nice addition though.:thumbup:
