Yeah, it shouldn't be THAT GPU/VRAM intensive, I mean I get that it needs a lot of CPU and memory but sitting 30k feet up in the sky in the very low-res MiG-21 cockpit for example. It shouldn't use that much VRAM. There are games with A LOT more detailed textures and extremely detailed and cluttered environments that use less resources than DCS.

And I think it was originally supposed to be released sometime in 2012 actuallybut the original developer jumped ship iirc.

At least a Lybian since they have been in actual air conflict with eachother.

Please baby Jebus give us a Vietnam map so we can have a proper sandbox for the MiG-17 and the F-4.

Yeah this is gonna be great! Only thing I miss are air-to-air missiles but I guess the fresco didn't carry those?

Be....sure?

I only tried with the Jeff a couple of times but lost interest pretty quickly

Yeah, it's really satisfying, almost gave up at one point

Oh boy was it hard but after a looooong time trailing the tanker, bobbing up and down and side to side I managed to fully refuel the jet. In the end the following things helped the most. 1. Adjust RPM so you match exactly the tanker speed then micro-adjust accordingly when connected 2. Try not to overcompensate movements so you don't end up with PIO, small movements on the stick 3. Don't aim for the basket! aim for the wing/refuelingthingie from which the basket/fuelline extends 4. Don't give up! It took me like half an hour before I managed to connect properly Love the module Aerges! keep it coming!

Phantom vs MiG-23 is going to be really interesting.

This years, hopefully, shopping list: Sinai map, F-4 Phantom II and then any 2-3rd gen coldwar fighter/strike aircraft that may be released.

I think it's worth pointing out. Also remember, it's not even an early access release so far from finished product.

Totally agree.

Broke the sound barrier in a shallow climb last night, not sure if I even hade the burners on. Gonna check tonight but if it can do that, it's a beast! But yeah it kind of lacks charachter a bit, there's nothing that really stands out about it. I enjoy the old MiG-21 more, it has more "personality". This is purely subjective of course.

HT is enabled and that setting in msconfig was already unchecked so, no luck.

My MT-exe also crashes on startup. I see in your DXdiag you have an i3 I think it's the CPU I also have a dual core CPU with HT, Pentium G7400.

I'd say the frames are about the same as before but there is horrible stuttering, probably because of the dismal frametimes. Doesn't seem to utilise the CPU very well either. Attached a screenshot with metrics from the mi-24 instant action free flight Persian Gulf mission. i9-10900 32GB DDR4 Acer Intel Arc A770 Predator BiFrost OC 16GB DDR6 P.S I did a slow repair but it didn't change anything.

Just want to say thanks to Deka for diversifying in DCS. Really looking forward to this one, "all" we need beyond that is some more Chinese ground assets and a Taiwan Strait map and we're set.

F-4 all the way. I don't have time for ultra-complex 4+ gen fighters anymore. Too much too learn and remember. A week passes without flying and I have to relearn. No time, no patience. Cold War ftw.

Yeah I have that same feeling too. I guess it won't be great since it's emulating dx11 although I've heard performance has improved a lot by the latest Intel driver updates. I also have an RX 6700 incoming so might just stick with that, they cost roughly the same. Br, Andreas

I've got an Intel Arc A770 on order but I'd thought I'd just hear from you guys if anyone have tried DCS with an Arc gpu and preferably with the latest drivers and how it fares? Br, Andreas

One can always dream we would get the J as a full module "Saab 35J[Note 7] Fighter version designated J 35J (Johan). In 1985 the Swedish government decided to modify 67 J 35F2s to the J 35J standard.[60][61] The aircraft received a longer lifespan, modernized electronics, a modernized cannon, two additional AIM-9 Sidewinder pylons under the air intakes and increased external fuel capacity. The modification took place between 1987 and 1991.[60] The final operational J 35J flew for the last time in 1999.[62]"

Why do they do this?! They announce that they have something to announce, why not just wait until they have the "deets" ready and reveal it? Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the Viggen updates but unless you actually av something of substance to announce, why announce it?

Yeah, DLSS, FSR and whatever Intels equivalent is called aren't black magic and they do come at some cost. Primarily in degraded visual fidelity, I can see a problem with this in DCS, blurry gauges, harder to make out objects in the distance etc. I prefer the AMD way though, open for all to use, it's a win-win. Nvidia is living in lala-land with their proprietary technology and insane pricing. I like how g-sync basically died out because of amd's freesync but nvidia never learns appearantly.
