You know that the A-10C is not 100% either right? But their goal is to be at the level of the A-10C.

An example on this is the Huey. Remember when there was an adjustment to the flightmodel that actually made it easier to fly? And people started crying on the forums that they should not make the Huey "easy mode" and didn't stop until some devs and testpilots posted that the changes actually made it closer to the real thing? I think the most important thing is to make the plane behave within the known limits. Sustained G-turns, AOA, sustained turn rate, instantaneous turn rates etc. Make an AFM within those limits, and add calculated aerodynamics from computer models. And you have come a far way. After that it's about tuning the FM the more data becomes available.

Who knows. Heck, even up to this date the A-10C are getting small adjustments in it's flightmodel. It's not that long ago it got a small adjustment in a patch. I guess it's the same for the F-35. The more get known, the closer it will get. I'm not to much concerned to this actually. Even if the model was 100% accurate, no one on this forum could tell. It would probably still be people saying it's not realistic. Regarding the avionics:

Backing it :)

I don't think it's a guessing game. Like it's been said. As long as you know an aircraft can do specific things, there is no need to know how it does it. It's all about simulating it to a point where it behaves as the real thing. When it comes to flightmodel, I guess they'll do as many others. Do it in the software and do adjustments based on feedback. Same as in real life. Everything is done on a computer and tested there, before they build scale models and can start to see if theory matches reality...

I'm in :)

Not true. Might not take advantage in the newest technology. But absolutely helping getting stable 60 FPS in the higher resolutions.

Didn't bother loading, but yes, most likely. I think the main problem would be to get approval from the US Army to actually model it to somewhat high fidelity. Since ED is already working with them, I don't think they wanna do anything to jeopardize their business just to make a public simulator for the masses.

Could people please stop saying that SLI don't work....? It does, it works just fine!! I have had 580 in SLI and now two Titans in SLI. It works, no problem.

Some impressive systems there :)

I don't see any reason for why it should not be doable. There is a lot of information out there. heck, even I am sitting on a 1000+ pages manual for the AH-64D, going over systems ranging from FLIR, engine performance, drag factors with different weapons, longbow radar usage, MFD's, icons, ++++

Just seeing that this thread is up to 82 pages, should show a slight indication in the interest of this module :) Looking forward to kickstarter!

Nice video :) I'm amazed of how easily people are to talk shit about the F-35, without knowing it's full potential. And also expecting a plane that is in development and testing to be flawless from day 1. I highly doubt that any of the former planes, F-16, F-15, FA-18 etc, was developed without any technical hiccups along the way. Looking forward to this module.

Just tested this one. Seems it has the same issue as the CBU's. Number of objects. Before it started firing, object count was at about 300. As soon as it started spitting lead, object count climbed to over 8000 objects...

OMG!! Just jizzed my pants....

This thing looks sweet! Looking forward to friday :)

I think this can be a great addition to DCS World. What I'm a bit surprised about is the hostility/negative comments about the module. 1: Wags himself has gone out and posted that this is NOT A SCAM. And they re looking forward to see what can be delivered. 2: It's confirmed that it will be produced on license from LM. 3: They clearly have experience in various areas within the simulation genre. 4: Lead Teams that Integrated Avionics on Both the F-22 & B-2 5: Have been designing and producing flight simulation products both for the general public and the military for almost 30 years. I would say they have the experience and resources to pull this off. When it comes to the avionics. It doesn't matter how many line of code the real F-35 needs in it's software. It's two completely different things. All that matters is how the final package is delivered to the pilot. If you simulate an effect with 10 lines of code, where in real life it would maybe take 1000. No one would know. Radar for example. How many line of codes do you think it would take in real life to have radar paint a detailed map of the area of interest.... In the game this is already known. So no need to have piles of code to do it, you simply simulate it. Looking forward to this one. Of course I will have a little skepticism until we see some more. But hopefully it will be good.

2600K and the 3820 are built upon the same architecture, so they will give similar performance. Yes, the 3820 might be a better CPU on paper. But DCS isn't capable of utilizing those benefits. Regarding SLI, will not matter if I turn it off. Only thing that could have happened is performance going down if the GPU was maxed out. Yes, it's the bottleneck. DCS uses 2 cores, 1 for sound, 1 for the rest. 1 core goes up to about 90+ % when the FPS goes below 60 FPS. It's quite simple really. My SLI setup was moving along at comfy 50-60% usage, so it's not the bottleneck. If you look at the number of objects on some of the screenshots, you can see it goes above 1000. 1000-1200 is the magical number for my system, depending on the complexity of the scene, that is the max amount of objects I can have, before FPS starts taking a dump. IPC and speed > number of cores, for DCS.

I don't think it would make much difference. Both are great cards.

Yes, your GPU is your bottleneck right now.

?? He only has 1GB of video memory. I have seen usage above 3 GB on my setup in certain circumstances.

AVG FPS : 43 MEMORY USED : 3,6 GB system memory, 1,8 GB Video Memory GRAPHICS CARD : 2x GTX Titan CPU : i7 3820 @ 4,6 GHz MAIN MEMORY SIZE : 16 GB COMMENTS: MSAA x4, 2560x1440, Plenty of power left in the Titans, but the CPU is a bottleneck.

If price is not an option, I would get the Haswell. It is the newest CPU, and the fastest of them.

How do I make a new payload?

I'm curios to see where you have that from... The reviews I have seen isn't even close to that performance. http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/core_i7_4770k_review,26.html http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/61451-intel-haswell-i7-4770k-i5-4670k-review-26.html http://www.hardocp.com/article/2013/06/01/intel_haswell_i74770k_ipc_overclocking_review/7#.Ua9wlEAwoZA
