Hello Thanks for all your help. Following the advice and using roll angle into the wind rather than rudder yaw alone has made improvements! I found that I was having to use a bit of rudder as well to stop the plane from descending while maintaining a roll angle. now my question is this Magician suggested using the TVV to keep the plane inline with the runway during a cross wind approach. This would be great as it provides a ton of feedback allowing correction before the ILS bars get out of line. By my experience has been that the TVV only indicate a point of impact not a heading of impact.. if placed on a ground object the plane will impact that location but it does not seem to correct for wind drift. In a crosswind approach if I keep the TVV on the threshold wp marker the plane seems to fly and arc as it approaches the runway so that by the time I am within 2 miles of the runway I am approaching the runway way off center-line and mostly pointed into the wind (remember this started out as crosswind) It seems to keep the plane on the center-line the TVV must remain upwind of the wp marker and not centered in the wp marker box as it would be in zero wind. Is this correct or am I screwing up? Thanks -Gun

The trouble im having is determining how much rudder should be applied to keep the ILS bars lined up on the ADI. For example im 6 miles out on approach on the glide slope with the horizontal ils bar on the dot in the center of the ADI. There is a crosswind that is attempting to blow the plane off the runway center line so I apply rudder correction to keep the plane on the center line and the vertical ILS bar on the dot in the center of the ADI. The problem I am having is I'm always chasing the vertical ILS bar because I have no reference of where my slip angle should be to compensate for the crosswind. I watch the bar and I see it move to the left so I add more corrective rudder and it comes back to the center and I start reducing rudder in hopes it stays in the center but Im always off just a tad so its always drifting off center. What other reference points can I use along with the Vertical ILS bar to determine how much more or less rudder I should be applying at any given time??? Thanks -Gun

My track Ir got here a few days ago and im slowly getting use to it. I downloaded WAG's profile and made a few mods to the curves and still making adjustments but its getting close! When in the setup software track ir works perfect. In DSC A10 it works perfect when looking forwards but when I look back over my shoulder the Zoom axis becomes the horizontal slide axis (the two switch places)... any ideas??? -Gun

problem solved! Thanks man.

Hello I would like to get track ir 5. It appears it comes in two flavors one with a setup for a hat and one with a clip that fits to a headset. I have heard that the track clip is the way to go...plus i dont want to wear a hat. It appears that "track Ir 5 ultra" comes with the track clip but I cant find it easily (at all maybe) for sale in America. The prices I have seen (240.00USD) seem out of line since track ir 5 sells for 130 on amazon. How should I go about buying this do I buy the stuff separate? Who should I get it from?? Thanks -Gun

Thanks Peter That FOV adjustment is just what I was looking for I set it to 85 and it was good and then tried 90 and I felt right at home. Looks pretty amazing! Now maybe its time for a head tracker too :) I guess I have one last question regarding the dell u2711 mostly off topic but one thing I noticed was blu-ray movies actually look a bit grainy. It looks a lot like ISO noise (to anyone familiar with photography) Im assuming this is normal and due to image being unscaled from 1080 to 1440. Im also using correl win dvd pro 11 to play the blu ray. Im also using the sRGB color profile I would be thankful for any additional tips that may help fully utilize this new monitor. Thanks again -Gun

it says its private. :/ using 4:3 on DSC a-10 on my u2711 causes wicked stretching of the image everything that is round looks oval.

any aspect ratio other than 16:9 seems to cause stretching of the image as one would expect. the u2711 is a 16:9 advertised monitor and seems to work best using that ratio. As for edge distortion there appears to be some with the cockpit "a pillars" the pillar where the canopy meets the front window. As you turn your head it gets narrower not really a big issue I dont think.

At standard zoom I can see both mfcd screens but the buttons at the bottom of the mfcd are just below the bottom of the screen (half visible). The HUD is mostly visible the black outline of the reflector window for the hud is not visible on the top and only half the G meter is visible. Is that about how yours looks? what is your 2711's brightness level set to? going from a 19" to this monitor is like whoa! If I wanted a bit wider FOV what ula file do I edit to make natural zoom point a bit wider? thanks -Gun

Hello I just got a new Dell u2711 and the DCS a-10 looks amazing. But The cockpit isnt displayed like it was before with my 1280x1024 set. Im assuming one of the reasons for this is in the options there is no cockpit resolution above 1024 and because obviously the different format. I can improve sort of by zooming out a bit but things look a bit distorted for example the "A pillars" on the front window look extra fat. What can I do to get a more natural feel to the cockpit like it was before?? Thanks -Gun

hey armaholic I went and read that thread, got the patch and im pretty happy it looks much better thanks!

Hey thanks I was able to squeez a bit more out of it but looks its not unlimited. I set it to farDistance = 55000.0; and that was a little better then to farDistance = 95000.0; that might have made a slight improvement. But it doesnt look like it will recognise any thing above that. for example farDistance = 995000.0; made no improvement. instead of building and trees popping up I would like them simply become visible as they come out of the "fog" I would like it to draw them when they are still so far away that you simply dont notice it much....Its closer now I guess thats as good as it gets?? Thanks -Gun

I dont remember where I saw that..long time ago its also entirely possible that I miss interpreted what was written... Now that said is there a way to increase the draw distance using an ini file beyond what one can set using the sliders? Thanks -Gun

Hello I just installed a gtx 680 to replace my old dx 10 8800 ultra. I thought I read that with dx11 gpus that "ultra" graphics options became available in the setup menu. I still dont see them is this not true or is some other issue causing them not to display? Thanks -Gun

Okay after reading the whole "official asus OC guide" all 49 pages of it I set my AI overclock tuner "manual" Turbo ratio "by all cores" by all cores can adjust in OS "41" Im now running at 4100Mhz under load temps stabilize around 60 as reported by "Real Temp" Asus thermal radar reports 55 (for a 5c increase) A 10c difference is typical between these two monitors. Vcore volts are 1.000 idle, 1.272 spike, 1.264 load Based on my requirements I do not want to exceed 4.5ghz Off to a good start. Thanks

Hey Rhinox Thanks for the link! I read over that yesterday but failed to noticed that he also provided screenshots with explanations. It makes a lot more sense now. Ill have to read it a few more times and let it soak in and see if I have any more questions!!! Thanks -Gun

I would rather learn a bit and do it manually as long as I can do so safely (with in reason) my target is around 4.5Ghz OC

Thanks. 1)os is backed up 2) I used prime 95 to max out the cpu and it read about 50c as reported by thermal radar cpuz showed clock speed at 3800mhz for 400mhz overclock (why intel burn vs prime95? isnt max cpu load the same thing?) 3)42 sounds like a pretty big jump actually....I was thinking a 0mhz stating point and then maybe 200mhz then 400mhz and then 700mhz I guess my main concern is if im making the right changes in BIOS. The 4 steps listed in my previous post should work to get me 0% overclock and running in manual mode right? At some point im going to have to ramp up phase control, and make other changes but I figured I could avoid all that initially by not overclocking it much. I figured I would learn what and how much to adjust them when I got to that point. Thanks! -Gun

Hello I have a fairly new system thats about 2 months old specs are as follows. win 7 pro 64 bit Asus sabertooth p67 revision 3.0 (b3) running latest 2103 BIOS (Originally shipped with 2001 version bios) G.skill 8gb occupying 2 slots (f3-14900cl9d-8gbsr) DDR3-1866 pc3-14900 4096mb x2 CL9-10-9-28 1.5v i7-2600k 3.4 ghz (lga 1155) Corsair HX 750w Noctua NH-D14 Se2011 PWM with both fans attached and PWM speed profile setup current idle temp is 26c with fans at idle 300 rpm as reported by Asus thermal radar. Loaded temp is 48 to 50c with prime95 and CPUz reports MAX cpu speed at 3800mhz (so apparently its already overclocking its self 400mhz) Case is corsair 650D I have read several different resources and watched this video on youtube Based on what I have seen my initial plan is as follows: 1) set the AI over clock tuner to manual. 2) according to the video leave the BLCK/PCIE (PEG?) to 100.0 3) set the "Turbo ratio" to by all cores 4)set "by all cores (can adjust in os)" to 34 34x100.0 is 3400 for 0% overclock I figured this would at least prime the system for beginning the overclock process. But im only guessing this is a proper starting point. I could really use some input on how to begin the process as Ive never overclocked anything before. Thanks -Gun

okay at least not just me. The pitch and roll steer bars do seem to be the best method of actually getting close enough to acquire the runway but as I already found they aren't for landing as a single tool.

thanks!

okay so based on all the above. 1) As of now and maybe forever the a-10 in real life and in the sim is not capable of a full ILS in 0/0 2) the pitch steering bar should be ignored and the caret used instead 3) the a10 must be landed visually

why would it work for jona...shouldnt everyone have this problem? is it hardware related?

maybe its my video card...others have had this issue as well...a photo is posted search "black lightning" What video card do you have (or even better general system specs) are you running patch 11111111111 (or whatever) I have: win pro 64 intel core i7 2600k nvidia gtx 8800 ultra (way old) asus sabertooth p67 mobo dcs on patch 11111 heres the link with the photo http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=62096&highlight=black+lightning&page=5

It appears that at night in thunderstorms the lightning bolts appear black...It really kills the fun of flying in them. Does everyone have this problem? Is there a known fix? Thanks -Gun
