  1. My first, unsubstantiated guess, is that your mouse, keybd, etc. are connected to USB3 ports, which don't start until Windows is fully booted. Win 10 does some very odd things with USB ports. Make sure you have the latest USB 3 drivers for your motherboard is my best suggestion.
  2. I have seen the same but haven't gotten around to doing it. It certainly is worth a shot. Keep in mind that the memory leak issue is still going to be there, so it won't solve everything but it might improve some issues.
  3. This has been an ongoing problem for at least a year. I have posted about it before with no response from the devs. I have not had it happen in v2.5 yet but I haven't configured much in that version so time will tell.
  4. I have two Synology boxes for my server needs (one for data/backups and the second for music and movies) totalling 7TB. 100MB connection to my router and a Web interface. Plus they take up less space, combined, than an ITX case and draw less than 50 watts. :) Besides, using a Maximus VIII mobo for a server would be a sin. EDIT: I should add that I am willing to part with those components for the paltry sum of $100 plus shipping. I would rather give them up at a loss than have them go to waste.
  5. Except the primary code author has been the same throughout.
  6. Your only option is to build the graphics yourself, in something like Visio.
  7. You should note that I would not build that system today. In fact, I would not build anything new right now, unless forced to. My only point was that the evolution of graphics card from the new release of a GPU to the practicality of buying one is not a short period of time. That being said, I do have a brand new 6700k and associated mobo and 16GB (4x4) memory kit that I am probably not going to use, if anyone is interested (US only).
  8. Finally somebody gets it. Most of my Nikon lenses are autofocus enabled. It is a mechanical process and is fast enough for most photography situations but certainly not suitable for real time reactions.
  9. You must dedicate an entire room to flight simming. This will solve all of those space problems. ;)
  10. Those new cards are a long way off. First is the release announcement, then the release of Founders Ed. cards (which only an idiot would buy, unless they plan on water cooling), then comes the 3rd party versions. It will be September before you can order a non-FE version.
  11. That is a completely different problem since the throttles are not connected by a simple and convenient DIN connector.
  12. You aren't incorrect. However, there is a big difference between how DCS is handled by the OS compared to how a truly multi-threaded application is handled.
  13. In general, secrets are hard to keep in any large organization. This is especially true if preparations need to be made ahead of time, which they certainly did. Certainly, operational details might have been 'mostly' secret, but in a broad sense I am sure that many in the military's lower echelons knew what was coming.
  14. I would take exception to one thing. Matching RAM from two separate purchases does not always work out well. I prefer to pull the old RAM and replace all of it with a single kit purchase. It may not be as cost effective but my sanity is worth a fair amount, to me. :)
  15. Tattoo this on your forehead if necessary. ;)
  16. I have no scientific evidence but my habit is to only have my OS and various low impact applications on my C drive. Other apps on D and games on another. Due to the size of flight sims, they generally get their own drive. These are all SSDs. Spinners are just for miscellaneous data.
  17. I did not know him but anyone passing at such a young age is truly sad.
  18. Thanks. Needed a chuckle. :lol:
  19. Do you mean like in the P-51 training campaign?
  20. Because there are too many different controller solutions out there. For example, an X52 user would have stick, throttle and rudder axis all in a single controller, while a user with a Warthog and Saitek pedals would have three separate controllers. Meanwhile, if the Warthog user was using Target, they would only have two controllers (Warthog Combined and Saitek pedals).
  21. Keep in mind, there was v1.5 release and v1.5 Open Beta. The v1.5 release is the one that will update to v2.5 release, when it is available. You can, of course, delete your v1.5 Open Beta now.
  22. I would purchase another SSD before putting DCS on a spinner.
  23. The 3GB VRAM is a bit shy of ideal as well.
  24. Actually, that could be an asian hornet which gets to be nearly two inches long.
