Flying the Shark vs Flyign the Huey - First Impressions
Erforce replied to Shein's topic in DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark
I like to see everyone suddently saying "Ohh little Shark, please come back, i love you ! no i won't fail you again !" Hehe So ? still wonder if you want to fly a western chopper IRL ? ;) -
génial

MonnieRock has a partial answer. Arcade = Ultra Sim = Realistic just a word matter :)

1.2.4... Auto Updt or install from scratch?
Erforce replied to Anatoli-Kagari9's topic in DCS World 1.x (read only)
Downloaded yesterday full install 7GB via torrent in 7h. Uploaded atm 60GB this afternoon. i saw many completions. Now seeders outnumbers leechers. everyone should have a decent connection now. -
Well, when i start my Shark, i usually go nuts with the sound. my walls are shaking. I love it. neither more, nor less. Yes, DCS GE is pretty old. One thing i don't want, ED == microprose. Actually they're doing little steps, but they're advancing. You can fly Falcon 4, AF then BMS. Same Engine for 15years. It not really pretty, but... you don't play it for nostalgia. CoD MW is played for nostalgia, especially Cherno part, and that is ugly. Let ED move at their speed if they can survive it. I'm one of the first to criticize this GE, but i like those little additions over time (for the GUI, scripts etc..) and i'm one of the first who will buy in the minute they release a beta(of EDGE). So, yeah, i don't think ED will equal modern GE. But i also don't think Ubisoft (please no), EA or any DirectX/Cider master house will make a true sim too. Atari dropped Falcon. there's probably a reason. WorldOfTanks is a LOL game Wargame EE / ALB is a RTS game with a nice useless GE (do you really zoom this close to an ifv?) You don't love a game for its graphics. It's a bonus. (hello WoW players) Why we're discussing about this? The last available EDGE picts are 1y+

Over bittorrent, some of you are lucky. I'm seeding between 2 and 4 MBytes/sec. but it can go higher today... if i have some unbusy time, i'll check for a higher upload. I can post it on usenet, but i don't think ED will like it.
-
Take another example. You have, let's say MacOs X 10.6.6 with netkas driver (optionnal) You want to update to 10.6.8, you have choice : Either you take the combo update (big file), which takes you from 10.6.x to 10.6.8 OR you can download small patches. But you'll need 10.6.7 first then 10.6.8. You don't like Mac? (hey 10.6 was great !) ok, another example : Eve online. I could supply you a list (and screenshots, on my mac atm) of 20 updates, all necessary to update from Incursion to Incarna. And no, You can't download Incarna Full Install anymore. So... the only thing you can blame, is the fact that you can not manally download an update.

Flying the Shark vs Flyign the Huey - First Impressions
Erforce replied to Shein's topic in DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark
I'm so afraid to hate it that's why i will not test it (especially without demo). Vietnam copter, like an old 70's car, without A/C, electric roof, KITT (female version) intelligent computer, and low armor... well... even in Belsimtek promo video, he crashed some UH with soldiers' bullets :( But i look forward for some vids and user exp. -
I ever saw auto-updater downloading like a snail. For each versions of DCS. and i was some weeks off the initial release. Today the http/FTP is quite slow too. Torrent is accelerating, i'm at 200k/s right now. If i get it by tonight, i will seed from my office tomorrow the whole day. you'll enjoy my 600Mb/s upload ;) Edit : I should say 2x600Mb, cuz we have 2 fibers ISP ;)

I didn't said that a GE should make all other calculations but rendering. In current state of DCS (all high, no exception) i can navigate with 3 digits FPS. As soon as i put some nasty scripts and place myself in a KA cockpit, i drop under VSync on a 4Ghz+ hardware. ED said first iteration of EDGE was 2 even 1 digit FPS. unacceptable. that's why they rewrote it from start. So yes, Outerra looks great with the lack of complex scenes (the city i saw was nice, but it was alongside a road, without hi-rez texture.) If you looks for nice GE, there are CryEngine, UnrealE 3, Trinity/Carbon, etc... Now let's put them in the "real world" X³, X rebirth : mixed, i don't really like the GE actually. and it kills our systems in large battles. CryEngine : Well, crysis has 3 marines, 1 rocket, and 3 aliens. it runs smooth. Unreal 3 : Tera Online use it. It's pretty with 1-3 people and drop to 5-7 FPS in 120 ppl Nexuses. Trinity : Eve Online, come on, Carbon framwork is mindblowing (walk in station). Ships and textures are beautiful. Everything over 3 digits FPS. And then come heavy battles, thousands of missiles, drones, lazers, electronic warfare. Even servers has to "Dilate time (1/10th realtime)" to aknowledge every commands. And look at clients experience, 4FPS, 10FPS, 20FPS for the lucky ones (of course, they zoomed out, seing dots.) So, again, Outerra is nice. but has no real application right now. It CAN do this, it CAN do that separately. But i'll wait until i see something usable.

Nice vids, but... Where was Outerra in 2004? 2008? Ok with Terrain rendering. Will it fit with other calculations? Make a crater + destroy a vehicle + ballistic + 2nd rendering thread on targeting TV (shkval...) + AI + large rendered cities in the backgroung and so on? Don't get me wrong, it shows great pics (but the unrealistic road in snowy fields). Certainly better than EDGE itself (for what i saw, EDGE has good foreground view, and empty rounded background landscape). But will it run smooth with a full detailed region ? it's 2013 now, in flight sims, nothing has really changed since Falcon 4... + Graphic => Arcade - Graphic => + Avionics => Simulation even comparing X-Plane to DCS, i would prefer DCS. Even Arma Graphics is good when there's nothing to display. In large cities, it's another story. So, now it's clear ED understand DCS GE is really outdated in 2013. They're making little adjustments, and i will glady pay them for that. Even to stay in Crimea (2 times if Trees are consistent ;) ) Compare LOMAC to BS, same map, different story.

Weird, this thread has 3 main jobs... well, a new one : V editor, mainly for europe/US TV ads. yeah, i'm kinda responsible for frying your neurons.

ahhh, another FPS brainstorming. First, your xeon should have a turbo mode, isn't it ? You can try to limit DCS on 2 physical core, avoiding cpu swaps and enabling stable turbo. Manage your options with VRAM consuption and gpu-z like he said before. With my 4890 1Gb, VRAM quickly maxxed out. I will not say your GPU is the limiting factor. if in GPU-Z it's under 80% load, then it's a CPU problem. My specs run everything maxed out "fly shukumi" @30-40FPS. Elsewhere, i'm more about 60-120FPS. GTX670 @1920x1200. My GPU isn't the limiting factor. I should try it at 4.7ghz just for fun. Edit : Tryed it... @4.9Ghz :D about 40-50FPS. "Old" cinebench 11.5 tool rates 1 core at 2.03. 4 cores at 7.8 and 8 cores (HT) at 9.5 My gpu wasn't maxed out. (90%+)

^ He's right too, obviously.

for me, play it like a plane. find a nice road or runway, and land at 150kph. it's easy. At a farp, requires more skills.

"Discuss more about EDGE features" This is THE thing i'm interested about. does house has walls, tranparents textures that AI can ignore? mandatory to put everyone on the same level of vision difficulty in multiplayer? navy subs ? or just 512x512 textures? what will bring EDGE ? Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution ? maybe DCS 2.5G finally ? I don't see many excited developpers about it, so i'm worried.

merci pour l'info Psycho. Je l'ai fait ici en tout premier parceque je connais un peu la mentalité et les membres et que quelqu'un peut rechercher un petit upgrade sympa a prix réduit en France. Ailleurs je passerai surement par un site plus... "profesionnel" Edit : Vendue Une belle 2eme Asus 670 en remplacement.

crippled by bugs, patches and un-patches. Plus new coding tool, extended controls and so on... Personnally i have made about 3-4 missions of my future campaign. As i don't want dumb missions, they are scripted (old school way). Problem : sometimes it's too heavy for medium cpu, sometimes a patch break my work. I may add coding a "dynamic" campaign is freaking harder and harder (further in campaign) We can't rely very much on tracks, and it's very hard to debug :-) But yes, it's sad for BS community. I wish there was more of them.

Bonjour à tous. Vous me connaissez peut-être, je squatte souvent le forum des KA-50. J'ai acheté (par erreur, ou au pif, à vous de voir) une asus 7870 DCU II v2 pour.... Mon Mac :-D Hélas cette petite maligne ne fonctionne que sur 10.8.3 et je ne peux pas allez plus loin que 10.7.5 avec mon mac pro 1,1. Je suis tombé de ma chaise en mettant ma GTX 670 (de mon PC) dedans et la voir fonctionner nativement sur mac. Du coup je l'ai un peu mauvaise. Je préfèrerai honnêtement éviter des frais de ports si possible. Elle a environ 30h d'utilisation (à 28% de ses capacités max), j'ai la boite et ses accessoires. La licence AMD pour Tomb raider et Bioshock n'est pas activée le code Far Cry 3 blood dragon n'est pas encore dispo, mais j'y suis éligible. Facture LDLC.com du 11mars 2013 de 223€ Garantie encore 2 ans et 9 mois. Prix : 200€ tout compris 170€ sans les jeux. Posez vos questions ici ou me MP si vous voulez des infos plus perso. Oui dans le pire des cas vous pouvez venir la tester, je n'ai rien à me reprocher sur celle là encore. :D Merci de votre patience. Erforce

The A-10 gun = 7 blinded Ka-50's 2A42 firing altogether at the same time. :) Do you pick up targets (humans) with 2 bullets at 3km in an A-10? A-10 gun has some flaws, admit it :D
-
100% Shark. Done A10 tutorial, then forgot it. I would love a DCS BS ultra graphic engine, because at 50m, you can see DCS graphics limitations. it's just cubes, on a flat terrain. :(

This issue is still happenning Home Fries. When i first installed windows 7 on my fresh built PC, my MacOs usb keyboard without bootcamp drivers didn't recognized F13-F19, Fn modifier and other special keys. Changing Pause/unpause key assignment was useless in DCS. After long hours and many test over the web, i finally decided to install Bootcamp, and modified registry to support Standard functions keys. Now my pause/unPause is F16. like on my mac. For Dell or laptop PC Keyboard, as this pause/break key is not mapped by default in windows, i have absolutely no clue. I wish you best luck !

A bit late but Imho Next crappy console : 8 low cycled cores (rumored 1.6Ghz AMD) expect "next-gen" games to be heavily multi-core optimized in x86. For DCS and actual games, ATM i5 is enough But things may change next year. you can wait for Haswell which is a 3-7% gap from Ivy (like Ivy-Sandy) or buy an Ivy now or after Haswell released. Mine is a i7 3770k with the new corsair H110 watercooling. it's quiet (not corsair stock fans), cool, and can ramp up to 4.5Ghz x8. (more x4) I do not regret my choice a second over a i5. One thing for sure, aim for "K" products. it's worth it.
