  1. I cannot imagine how that does not make sense in the current world. You hire people to do a job. If they won't, or can't, do that job then you send them packing and hire someone else.
  2. Fascinating that you can judge a flight model from video. I will believe it when I am flying it.
  3. The ownership of IP is a tricky slope. I would never consider signing a contract that allowed another to make unlimited use (which is what would happen if ED has the source code) if I decided to quit my company. Keep in mind that this sort of clause would likely include just retiring from the business.
  4. The test is only valid if the drive is the only one in the system. When mixing SATA and NVMe drives the motherboard used provides a lot of variables.
  5. Yup. Unless ED gets them to sign a new contract, which only an idiot would do.
  6. There are plenty of applications that will clean your registry of old USB controller info. Any of them will do the job. Always using the same port for your Joystick/Throttle will also eliminate most of these issues. Btw, there are many things that you can do with Target that cannot be done within DCS. The TEMPO command comes to mind as the first of these.
  7. LOL! The PSU advocacy club has spoken. ;) Merry Christmas, guys!
  8. The next aircraft absolutely must be ... (to be continued). ;)
  9. This is not a good idea. Hotfixes are probably the least tested of any patch, due to the fast turn around. It is important to get them out into the community for more in depth testing on a greater variety of hardware before releasing them to the general public. This is why the OB exists.
  10. As usual Bit is probably right on the mark. I suspected it would be something like that but without the mobo manual I was hesitant to say so.
  11. According to a review on the Amazon UK site, it does not work with DCS v2.5.
  12. PMs work really well for this.
  13. Poll needs a third option. I turn the music off in every game I have owned for the past 25 years.
  14. As a general rule. If you search the install folder, of any game, for a PDF, you will find them if they exist.
  15. Thanks, but, at my age (60 this year), waking up is a great birthday present. :D My dogs will wake me up and remind me that no matter my age, they come first.
  16. Which is shortly after the exact time and date that I was born. :D
  17. Your local weather notwithstanding, the first day of winter is the 21st of December (in the Northern hemisphere).
  18. LOL. I have a pic, somewhere, of the DCS A-10C missing a wing but the maverick is still hanging in place attached to nothing.
  19. They do nice work but we still don't have a complete Viggen manual after two years and it is still in early access.
  20. I would rather spend more than I had to than regret not spending enough. It is only money and you can always eat ramen noodles for the next month. ;)
  21. That's not bad. As for too much power, it is a non-issue. A power source does not push power, but instead the item connected pulls power. Think of it like the outlets in your home. They are, typically, capable of providing up to 15 or 20 Amps (depending on the circuit breaker). However, when you plug in a lamp that only required 5 Amps, the bulb does not explode because the lamp only pulls what it can use. A circuit breaker trips when the items plugged into the circuit are asking for more power than the breaker is designed to allow, thus keeping your wiring from burning your house down. EDIT: Btw, I am going to point this out just because. When I was in high school personal computers did not exist. I took four years of electronics classes in three years because the teacher was so damned good. He passed away this year but the things that I learned from him have served me very well, from working on computers to installing new wiring into my house (I experimented on my mother's house as a teen and since it did not burn down I figured that I had gotten it right) ;)
  22. I am not picky about brands but I try to buy a hub with a power brick that provides no less than .5 Amps per port (i.e. a five port hub should have a 2.5 Amp brick). That ensures that it will provide enough power for most anything I want to plug into it. I also don't ever use all of the ports (i.e. if I need four ports then I will buy a six or seven port hub).
  23. By definition that could mean late December 2019. :cry:
  24. Both cards are listed as being 10.5 inches long. The 2080ti is wider by about 3/16th of an inch. They are both 2 slot height cards. I would check your source again.
