Nice but I prefer a full blown UPS to plug my PC's into. Surge protectors are fine for peripheral equipment.

This is a most likely a case of 'stuff' happens regardless how good your components are. I recently lost a very expensive keyboard during a fairly mild thunderstorm. The PC would attempt to boot and shutdown shortly after POSTing. At first I thought something in the PC had gone but further investigation showed that something in the keyboard fried. Another keyboard solved the problem.

Wow. Can I have some of what you are smoking?

Agreed. This company has done nothing to make me think that they are capable of making a good product.

Who cares. They have, supposedly, built lots of stuff that we will never see. Seriously irrelevant.

It is a safe bet that if you only have BS1 you will have to pay full price for 'BS3'.

I agree here. I am a firm believer in headroom. I would rather have memory that I don't need and PSU wattage that I don't need than end up short on either. It is rather like arming yourself for military combat. There is no such thing as too much ammo or firepower. If money is an issue then that is a problem but if you are already this deep down that rabbit hole then you might as well dig deep and do it right. EDIT: Btw, a thunderstorm yesterday seems to have smoked my Logitech G910 keyboard. Once I determined that it was the keyboard that kept the machine from booting I replaced it with an old Corsair gaming keyboard and life was good. Never throw anything away and have spares for everything. :)

The Ka-50 was a prototype in the first place. It was never produced in quantity so any armament was not realistic.

Explain to me how partitioning will improve performance over just installing the OS and DCS on the system drive.

As for question 1. Belsimtek has been absorbed by ED and are no longer a separate company. The team may still exist as a dev team but they are now employed directly by ED.

I agree that this is awesome news. My issue is with the fact that after a length of time ED granted a full BS2 license to those who had only paid for the upgrade. If this cycle is to be repeated then I will be hesitant to give them full price for the 'BS3' upgrade even though I see it as more worthwhile than the BS1 to BS2 upgrade.

Is Autmen some sort of Egyptian seasonal reference? ;)

Too bad you are in the EU. I have a set but shipping from the USA would probably cost enough for you to fly over here to get them.

I really don't need any of the hardware but I would be willing to finance a local transaction so that you can avoid the cost, and significant hassle, of shipping the hardware. If any of you local Arizona guys want to help work this out then PM me.

I lost a cousin to brain cancer. Such an insidious disease. I can only add to the other sentiments that if you need anything in the way of help or advice, I am here.

When I used a wheeled chair I placed it on some very thick pile carpet. It provided enough resistance to allow me to use my Saitek pedals without issues.

I don't have an Obutto but I found that heavy duty velcro worked quite well for my Volair pit.

I have fallen out of the practice for a variety of reasons but I do still believe in an a periodic nuke and reinstall of all software as a beneficial practice. This is also why I never store any significant data on my system drive.

If memory serves. All you need is to modify the -local- part near the top of the file and use just the %P (which is for the player name) for the various distances. I will have to grab the current version of the file and take a look.

Bit has got it spot on. I used to be considered a PC expert, many years ago. Now I don't have the time or inclination to keep up with every detail. DCS almost requires being knowledgeable about every detail of the latest hardware/software/drivers.

Yes, it should be. I haven't looked at that file in years but it is quite modifiable.

True, but 9 times out of 10 using those controls will result in an inaccurate replay.

Nope.

Sorry, that is lame. You (ED) can do anything you want. These are just numbers which can be moved with a few simple lines of code. Willingness is a different matter.

Yep, that is how it works. It has worked that way for eight years.
