  1. I've just set up my own system in the last week.  Nobsound 50w amp, single 35w BST-2.  I considered the TT25s but thought a larger single transducer might be a better place to start.

    What power supply are you using?

    My first night with my setup, I was using a 12v 2a wall wart.  It didn't really produce effects very well.  Next night, I plugged a 12v 4a laptop PSU into it and it was an instant dramatic improvement.  The transducer is now performing exactly as expected and I'm quite happy with it.

    Oh it does work in DCS? i took screenshot with both the new RTX features on and off and compared them side by side and there was no difference on my end. so thats why some of us in this thread thought it might not work in DCS.

    can you take a look at my settings in the screenshot and let me know if you notice any glaring issues? i would really like to get this working

    I'm tired of seeing release windows for things I'm excited for being either outright stated or implied by the devs and then missed, usually with little to no acknowledgment of the delay.  I don't have any problems with devs not giving a release date.  However, if they aren't going to give one, I don't want to hear them make release speculations, which create expectations that then fail to happen.  They need to have better internal communication and maybe a dedicated media person to prevent miscommunications such as the recent "announcement for the announcment of the F-4 release date announcment" that turned out to be not even be an accurate statement as to what was planned.

    I think this is a pretty fair criticism.  Particularly the end of 2022 passing with nothing said.  I do recognise that there is no way that any dev can avoid a crowd wielding pitchforks in literally anything they do.  They will always have some part of the audience in an unhappy state, no matter what course they choose.  But if a date is going to missed, there should be some acknowledgement.

    We have a clear statement that right now, it is expected that the module will ship in the next couple of weeks.  We have been told that if there is a delay, we will be informed.  As an outsider, I'm inferring because that there is presently no announcement of a Steam pre-order and no firm release date, there will probably be a delay.  But I can also imagine that working with at least two other companies (ED and Steam) means quite a few internal targets that may or may not be achievable in the stated time and therefore it is not yet time to announce a delay.

    It'll be here when it's here.

  4. Tested today following the patch.  No matter what I did before, I suffered that brutal frame drop.  I've just had a few minutes to test, but I've observed a serious improvement with low terrain textures.  High terrain textures still leads to that immediate massive frame drop below 900ft though.

    Time will tell but I'm feeling quite positive about the progress being made.

    Edit:  Built up areas still suffer quite drastic frame rate drops.  In one instance, I was able to restore performance by alt-tabbing as I flew over Rio Grande.  But at other times it did not help.  This patch is definitely a step in the right direction overall.

    I don't have the required permissions to send you an invite to the HOTAS/HOSAS/SIMPIT Discord, but I'm sure if you do a little googling or possibly post in the hotasdiy subreddit, somebody should be able to help you join.  There's a channel dedicated to Freejoy there, and the dev seems to post pretty regularly.

    Haha when was the Belsimtek F-4E first announced? 2016/2017? Our character must be built up to the moon by now!

    All joking aside, being this close after waiting for so long is great if not a little maddening (in a good way??)

    I won't lie.  The Belsimtek Phantom was a heart breaker.  I've waited for a decent Phantom combat simulation since Chuck Yeager's Air Combat Simulator.  Knowing that it is so close now, it's a combination of enthusiasm, frustration, anxiety and hopium.

    I guess with this length of time waiting for something like the F-4E to happen, the naval bird really isn't that far off either.  A handful of years.

  7. Sounds like a fantastic system, @MadMonty.

    When you enable XMP (after you're sure the CPU is good and stable, of course), it might be worth spending a tiny bit of time seeing whether your DDR5 sticks can be tweaked a little further.  I've just gone from 32gb with really timings to 64gb with very loose timings, and I've gotten nearly all the lost speed back purely with a bump from 3600mhz to 3800.  Memory tuning is hell in my experience when going beyond this, but for a couple of evenings of gameplay and a night of stress testing, I think it was worthwhile.

    Congratulations again on your new system!
