  1. (Thank you Quote because i wouldn't be able to type his name :) ) Let's make a deal : stop any ME upgrade ==> - We will brainstorms on how the Scripting Lua works, for dummies like me, if we want complexes triggers - You will (should already be ! ) work on a great multi-thread code that WILL support our complexes triggers ;) ;) ;) Deal? Something utterly better than Hide-ALL / Show ALL units... the simple multiple selection. Shift-click or Crtl-click in the unit list select them... but won't show the info dialog. just check a box in any corner. What do you think about it ?
  2. If you was looking for any "it is a good day to die" or "glittering prizes" cheat codes in BS, don't waste time, it doesn't exist ;) Just follow EtheralN's advice if you lost your user folder when reinstalled Windoz for playing a specific mission btw you lost all rank/points, but this is editable. If you desire to restore your progress in a single player campaign, follow those steps : Start one of each desired campaign (if you've didn't done it B4), then quit the game. Go to C:/Users/Yourself/Saved games/DCS/MissionEditor/ Open logbook.lua with notepad++ search the word "games" and there you go Each started campaign are written here. Just manual Edit the campaign, stage, desired mission (must match with stage number) ATTN : you must edit the last entries only. the resume campaign will read only the last entries. here a screen to help ya out ! Cheers Lieutnants !
  3. Should be hard to see stars at midnight, isn't it ? Maybe it's the reason Aliens crashed near Area 51 :-D Well, more on topic, does anybody know (if i missed it) why it takes so long ? Patented buildings design problems? Or are they waiting something big to release with ? It's ready when it's ready, i'm ok with that, but will they release it after the full Crimea map ? (Ukraine, Turkey, Armenia, Iran... ) Edit : And i'm ok with that too, i like forests more than sand ;)
  4. I live in Paris, i hate my mayor for building all this unused bus lanes, creating insane trafic jams never happenned prior to this, but otherwise, I love seasons, temperature during all year (-10°C to +30°C) I love my grass I love the fact i'm 3h car's speed next 4 others languages I'm sad the concord doesn't fly anymore because of boeing dropping metal pieces on the strip And i don't hate others europeans countries :) But living in a desert with artificial growed grass, no thanks. No offense sirs, you got some things, but, living all year... mhhh
  5. Think your picture is a bit oversized but, that's a good interpretation Nice one !
  6. hehe, either ED /EDGE nevada map is multi-core ready, to let other core breathe for cockpit/AI.. or they must integrate Nuclear weapon, for all Las-vegas haters... or Resident Evil lovers ;)
  7. Just tried this mod, and confirming it's working airborne using normal comms and alt-$ (or \ whatever) but i can't contact ground jtac yet, only air units. i'm new to this world Oo Edit : contacted ground jtac, working :)
  8. for me : easy comms = $ (or what ever the localized key) otherway = Alt-$ good luck
  9. Haha 660ti underpowered. that's one of the best GPU out there, ED didn't had access to it when they designed DCSW c'mon guys, be serious ! don't say 3.2ghz i5+ and Dx11 gpu are outdated, they're not. lol
  10. Well, it's basically a digital high-loss real time(?) recorder. Just read comments with your link, you'll understand. Plus force to converts to inefficient H264. Not editable format (if you do that, you just show your noobness to pros) so basically, not a good choice if you plan to edit your movie. Limited to poor 1920x1080 Et Cetera... Best option would be a dedicated dvi or sdi device, but... maybe cost 2000$+ :D Well i think on windows FRAPS is the standard, even if i never tried it (yet) for raw editing, personnally i would use FinalCutPro or Avid MC. but ya know, i'm working in this, so... Vegas/Pinacle/MovieMaker/iMovie/Premiere are forbidden here :D and that's a good thing ! the only thing i fear, would be FRAPS forcing me to create uncompressed files only in .wmv
  11. Has someone ever asked the B-2 bomber for AI ? would be much more cool to see these birds in the sky. Would like the Durandal paveway bomb also. Better than Mk82 AIR
  12. Trigger Condition : Unit Altitude Higher/lower than X meters AGL ===> triggered low fly by in mountainous areas Haze / Mist in large trigger zone like dynamic weather. => plains are clear, Tuapse and hills around are covered Better Raining conditions, and poor view if you dont play with the wipers. (maybe it's not a ME feature) More Pre-Destructed structures, like Airport tower, runway, bridges... Triggers to repair things, simulating engineers hard work. and the little thing that would change the whole campaign behavior, approaching a dynamic campaign even closer: Go to "X" Mission. If i do that, i'll jump 2 missions and take the path C. Handle with care, but definitely create a true campaign variety. (path A could have 5 mission, but path C could have 8 missions to win)
  13. Naaah, actually, i'm not against Nevada map, far from that. It's a good place for testing things, and Defcon 2 exercises, but would never happens (never say never but still) anyway. And, AFAIK, between USA and China / Russia there's Hawaï. And/Or Alaska&Canada. Might has some resistance before that :D Assuming Greece/Turkey wouldn't mind letting a US carrier group cruise off shore. if not, there's still some Nato bases in EU ;) Well, wait and see. keep up screen posting.
  14. Hahaha... good ones! hey, almost sure i didn't see as many private pools on Gmaps in Afghanistan. Plus, IF the states was actual at war in their "sanctary", i'm almost sure it would be WWIII and every western country would take part, even Georgia ;) Moreover, there would be SO MANY armors, that DCS engine couldn't sustain the framerate. Conclusion : Georgia : might be possible with their NATO program and engagements ( second country behind USA in men in afghanistan, i respect them) Korea : might be not possible with nasty chineses around unless they play the Saddam's game and in this case it will be a 1 day war. Japan : They gonna sort those islands out somehow so, strongly impossible Nevada : IMpossible. Reasons : In the USA ; next Area 51 ; supplied by Las Vegas $$$ (1 Ford Carrier class every 30mn) The only chance we have would be ED to implement a Nuke warhead in the Kh-65 cruise missile.
  15. What? Pinguii War? Can someone tell me where da hell the russians can park their Carrier in Nevada? Because otherwise, USA clearly has Air Superiority, and if by chance, a SU-27 came around, it will be surrounded by 20x F-22 and 10x F-35, plus infinite F-16N / F-18EF PS : F-16N = Tactical nuclear weapon carried on board :) they don't treat with terrorists, beware ! And if there are some communist insurgents, soon the state will be flooded by SWAT/FBI/NSA and of course : the Mighty CTU !! No chance for red side here. Jack Bauer will stop them all. :lol:
  16. Meh, the water is so beautiful that we should ALL play with high setting and fight over sea ! Fact is almost no-one play with water High, and civ-trafic ON, Birds, and anything looks closer to reality. this should be a standard at least. no need trafic jams (but can be designed in ME) The fact is you can enjoy the game, but even with a top rig, you can't go nuts with options. Next annoucments are FC3 / UH-1 / CA Final it'll add more and more complexity for code change/ update. Maybe we'll run this great with 2025 CPUs, but by this time, the engine will be completely outdated (as it's already mixed) Come on, today, start a Falcon 4.0 (original) game, it will run great, but you won't play because it's utterly outdated.
  17. The editor around 4mn ? In fact, it's here since a while, but it's using Russia Mission Editor in game options. Must learn new icons, but somehow, i find them more precise. i'll give it a try one day.
  18. Man, you'd better steal a Ka-50. It's RARE, and it can land anywhere :-D Plus, the GPS has traffic survey, and the bird can hide in tropical areas. I've read all the posts, Guys which are saying : My perfs are awesome, please say your settings are what you're doing. Mine are awesome in High, until someone start shooting or if things gets numerous. Remember we're not playing X-Plane, we have nasty Insurgents with top-quality russian stuff under here. It's a sim game, but if things goes on, ED will rush in a dead end. More fancy stuff = more cycles. Best machines will not run, and the code more and more complex to update, with huge bugs numbers. Nothing more = F4 community. shrinking. even with new maps (lol there's so much unused thing in this map already sur i would like Ukraine, Turkey... but...) We can't compare DCS to BF3 yes, in marketings terms we have something console lovers will never have. We have some nice switchs to flip, but the world is kinda boring. transparents forests, 3 buildings cities, tanks playing sitting ducks... Those things will never be updated if, the base can't support this. Unless ED claims they will support AV-X 2 from intel Haswell+, Haswell, Broadwell will not enhance DCS. We will end by hitting same switch over and over again. low perf guys enjoying fights in cities, because none of the buildings are displayed (same for forests) And High settings guys, well guys who seeks perfection will discover than other companies are creating wonderful detailed worlds, that you would love to fly in, but which never happens. Code rework is not an easy stuff, for sure. But it has to be done, it will enlarge the community and allows much more upgrades in the future.
  19. [OT] That's something they WILL (MUST/HAVE/MANDATORY...) rework one day, if they don't, one day or the other, another developer will sell a excellent sim, with excellent graphics and performances on 4+ cores designed for us, not military at first. Right now, the roadmap looks like : we sell beta-things to keep us living. I have BS2 A10 CA. I still don't know how to fly A10, because BS is taking my whole time. I bought A10 mainly for support ED. I will never buy P51, and few chance for UH-1, aswell as FC3 (semi-arcade game?)in this state. I WILL buy multicores updates, and DCS Ships for fun ;) When i tell my canadians friends : I will buy a 4.8Ghz sandyB for a sim game they don't know, they all answered me : "you have to change your game mate, not your hardware, LOL !" They're right. But what can i do? i'm in love with betty. [/OT] 6288, things are pretty, but like said before, more and more things will undoubtly leads to poor performance. like shkval, dust effects, explosions... More options in ME/scripts More units More combats Same CPU. :( I'm hardly seeing a bright future unfortunately.
  20. Hello all, right now, i'm enjoying the water High settings, but i was wondering... With shadows set to HIGH : In the pics below, you have a lateral Frigate view, beautiful reflection on the water, very good job ! Then you have a carrier, same reflection, but still the big black shadow, somehow ruining the view. compared to low water setting : How i can get rid of the old plain black shadow over water in high settings? Notice that helo, planes and others also get these "dual shadows". it's not a bug, but can it be written on the to-do list somehwere? PS : DCS .6288 settings : Catalyst 11.6, ati 4890 Details High Scene Medium (boooooo multithreads haters! :D) Water High Shadows High Visible range Med.

  21. Well, not tried all of them but it's true, Pyotr Velikiy only fire SAM missiles and counter-missile. can't fire at point, nor agress others ships. It's now a sitting duck ;) Ticonderoga : Fire 1 missile, and launch another when the first is destroyed. not close to reality with cruises missiles Tomahawk INS. Same goes for Harpoons anti-ships, but that can be true irl, i dunno, only played FFG Oliver Hazard, and some SSN los angeles in another game ya know ;)
  22. Sorry for late answer, good for you. was using X52 pro aswell with clean install, never tried any mod btw.
  23. It's working here. no inputs after trim release unless joystick centered...
  24. By my sentence 7fps... idling in both cases i meant : my GPU in those cases hit 30-45% activity, as i said elsewhere : "it's making icecube" especially for 48xx series -> means my CPUs (dual socket lover) even at 3Ghz+ are "way too outdated" quoting someone else. (he deserves a slap for saying that) In your case in high settings, seeing 90/100% is a good number imho. a good tip in Gpu-Z is now it shows VRAM utilization for Nvidia/ATi. if you have 1Gb Vram and the monitor tells you 998Mb dedicated + 120 dynamic then it's too high for it. lower some settings like HDR or AA. Moreover, DCS FPS epic quest is nothing you'd seen before, it may be anything, drivers, power idling, god's will... or simply ED vinci code :megalol: In anycase, your problem is not your CPU clock speed. that's for sure. PS : Damn, 580 maxed out ???? holy crap ! new water effect ? Yes it's quite nice, but it misses Kilo or U-boot class subs now ! DCS ships !!! :smartass:
  25. open gpu-z.exe (continue refreshing while in background option) fly shukumi, if your card says 75-90% activity, then it's maxed out. If it shows 70-, your CPU or something in the sim may waste cpu cycles. I'm getting 14 fps on high settings (40-60% activity) and 28 on low (70-85% activity) with my 4890, over the city ! (was higher before flyby) another good test, make a mission, select one node and create a large battle group. near a city more likely. just put your shark somewhere and fly over the battle.( mode invincible could be useful here) if you're getting low fps with low settings, then it's not your card. Use gpu-z also. mine are 7fps high, 18 low, and activity idling in both cases. My POV is 5870 is a little step from 4870+ but it's a nice card anyway.
