    Selling Obutto R3volution cockpit (local pickup/delivery only Las Vegas, NV USA)

    in For Sale

    Posted

    I am testing the waters to see if anyone local to me is looking for an Obutto cockpit.

    I have the r3voltion cockpit (https://obutto.com/product/r3volution-cockpit/) for a single monitor setup that I just don't have the space for anymore. It is currently disassembled. If there is any local interest I can put it together and take pictures. The seat is in perfect condition and one of the stick mounts has 4 holes drilled for a Virpil stick base.

    It is too expensive to ship, and I am looking for a best offer with local pickup or delivery (Henderson/Las Vegas area). 

    Issues with campaign - What I am doing wrong?

    in P-47D Wolfpack Campaign

    Thanks!

    I will put those tips into practice! I am still breaking the engine occasionally, and I am sure your pointers will help.

    I am 7 missions in now, and have the AI sorted (workarounds noted in Reflected’s video). 7 hard earned kills protecting the “Big Friends” that played out like WWII gun cam footage.

    Easily the best campaign I have ever played in any flight sim. Hits all the “realism” marks, totally immersive, and I feel like part of the war effort vs having to singlehandedly shoot down AI like John Wick in every mission.

    Thank you foe the quick response. I finished the video you recommended and took notes on your engine management recommendations and AI pointers.

    The campaign as a whole is mind blowing. The large formations of fighters and bombers is jaw dropping. No sim has ever looked this impressive and immersive, and the work you put into it is as amazing as the results on screen.

    I don't mean to come off as a complainer, and this campaign is a dream come true, but I am running into some show stopper issues...

     

    1. The AI climb rate forces me to overstress my engine to keep up. - Multiple missions I have blown my engine running high mp and rpm just to stay in contact with my flight (52/2550) until they level off. No matter how careful I am with the temps the engine blows late into the mission. I either fly solo lagging miles behind, or blow the engine keeping in formation. I spend more time trimming and playing with oil/intercooler shutters to minimize drag than enjoying the flight.

     

    2. My element lead is a coward. - At the point of contact with the Luftwaffe, my flight lead will turn the other direction, descend down to 12-15K, putz around away from the action, and then turn for home when the radio call comes in to form up and leave without ever getting close to an enemy plane. This has happened on 3 missions in a row (4, 5, 6). On the way home my engine blows (see #1).

    A-10C vs A-10C ll

    in DCS: A-10C Warthog

    Posted

    I voted for the A-10C II, because it is arguably "better" as the APKWS is a game changer for capability (more so than the laser maverick and laser JDAM). The Scorpion helmet sight is also amazing.

     

    All that being said, they are so close to each other overall and so well modelled that owning either is well worth the spend.

    Stutters with RTX 3080 and Ryzen 3700x... please help

    1. Make sure you install the latest drivers from AMD for the chipset/motherboard.

     

    2. If you have a 400/500 series chipset, let the bios manage the overclock through PBO (precision boost overclock).

     

    3. Run the RAM at 3200mhz if at all possible, or 3000 if you can’t reach 3200. Ryzen needs this at a min for best performance. Above that is diminishing returns. Below 3200 performance is degraded.

     

    4. Make sure you have adequate cooling and power. Both the CPU and GPU will throttle if temps run high or there isn’t enough power available to hit the top boost clocks.

     

    5. Consider running a video card driver cleaner to make sure there is nothing left over from a previous card/driver causing issues.

     

    6. Go into “(system drive):\users\(username)\Saved Games\(DCS or DCS.OpenBeta)\” and delete the cached files in the fxo and metashader folders.

    F/A-18 grip quality question

    in Thrustmaster

    Posted

    Mine (F/A-18C grip) is rock solid.

     

    My older WH grip had some wobble after years of service. Basically there are a couple of Allen heads holding the halves of the grip together near the bottom that might need to be tightened if over time they work slightly loose. When this happens there is a little movement in the mounting shaft the halves hold in place. This is typically the source of the “wobble”.

    Press FUNC then “FPM” (5) on the UFC with the CDU page up on the right MFD.

     

    When you press the OSB (or LSK on the CDU panel) next to the flight plan (1 is the default) it will cycle between Auto and Manual for to control how the waypoints increment.

    Suggestion to emphasize the late Cold War more in DCS as long way goal for DCS

    in DCS Core Wish List

    If that were even remotely the case...wouldn't a far higher proportion of the DCS Player Base have at least tried MP...

     

     

    Surely from a business point of view...even thinking about MP balance/functionality should be a very low priority? As the overwhelming majority of players never even touch it...

     

     

    I often hear that SP numbers far outweigh MP, and if that is true that means there is a large untapped audience (eg potential new sales) that is either too intimidated by MP, or sees nothing worth exploring in MP. Lack of attention to MP from a development standpoint becomes a self fulfilling prophecy in many ways and only serves as confirmation bias for assumptions regarding what to prioritize.

     

    This is puzzling as the lack of single player content; sterile/scripted and non-dynamic missions, campaigns often broken by patches, and AI that is anything but “intelligent” is said to draw the largest audience. It’s a real head scratcher.

     

    The “Hoggit” and “Through the Inferno” PVE MP servers are arguably (and ironically) the best SP experiences due to the amazing community efforts to address the long standing issues with SP content. The fact that they are co-op MP is icing on the cake, and it is a shame more SP only DCS players either do not know about them, or do not understand what they offer.

     

    From there it is a a much smaller step to enter competitive PvP...

     

    But I digress....

     

    Cheers

    Balance isn't a consideration for ED, they have stated this a few times lately.

     

     

    “Balance” is not part of the equation when you focus only on US missiles and ignore their counterparts. People are asking for balance where it can be applied, not a 100% level playing field. Equal time/code-updates spent on all missiles is one way, and adding planes that are period correct for the MIGs and Sukhois already in the game is another.

     

    ED’s goal as a business is to grow the player base (sales). It is fantastic how well the Hornet and Viper are doing, but short term wins with high volume Hornet and Viper sales, will result in long term losses after “X” number of played hours. Once a certain level of A2A mastery is attained in these modules, players quickly realize that the only real challenge is other human players in Hornets and Vipers. It gets stale/old after “Y” number of hours. It is a losing business proposition at some point in time for each player.

     

    ED can’t make newer REDFOR, but they can bring what is in the game up to current levels (missile performance), and consider variants of the Hornet, and Viper as well as other high potential sellers (Phantom etc) that are period correct for the MiGs and Sukhois on the game. That would be a long-term win-win for everyone.

     

    Cheers!

    You see the same problem in simracing. Most of the time the more passionate/die-hard people are the ones on forums, asking for old content (albeit cold war era planes or 70s 80s racecars) which they really want. But often they seem to forget that the largest playerbase usually isn't that die-hard, you won't see them (often) on forums, and most of them want modern stuff because modern is mainstream, every other sim has it too, etc.

     

    And then there's the die-hards who also like the modern content, like myself. I'd expect you shouldn't get your hopes up, if ED would want older planes in their library, they wouldn't have produced a Hornet, Viper, Tank Killer, etc.

     

    Older era content is just too niche in an already nice market, it's just not feasible. But hey, one can dream. ;)

     

     

    DCS MP is crippled currently by the lack of viable period REDFOR. Lack of progress updating the R-27/77 series (after several rounds of AIM-7 and AIM-120 updates/improvements) has only exacerbated the issue.

     

    I love the new shiny toys, but if I am being honest it is boring mopping the floor with the REDFOR currently in the game, and fighting the same plane(s) I am flying with a different skin.

    DCS: Su-25A

    in DCS Core Wish List

    Posted

    If ED makes early 80s garbage variants like Su-25A or MiG-29A, people will just be disappointed and never buy anything russian ever again.

     

    We need Su-25SM, minimum. Though at this point it should be clear that we will never get any of these modern upgrades in full fidelity, as stated many times by ED already. As such FC3 level is the only option. An upgrade of the Su-25A in DCS to Su-25SM would be nice.

     

     

    I beg to differ.

     

    Anything added that fits into an early-to-late Cold War scenario is going to be well received by the community.

     

    As amazing as the more modern jets are, there is a sweet spot between steam gauges and glass cockpits that is eagerly wanted/desired by full fidelity players.
