Mates it was just a procedure to show this bug. I know every "don't do this irl blah blah" fact is sometime i shut off (or just forgot) EEG to gain some power. You could gain some extra climb m/s because the Engine Limiter is not active. Moreover, -50°C, 0°C, +50°C, same story. By the way your engine Loves cold air. My car will probably survive over-rpm and extra power in a -50°C environment, as long as nothing is frozen. same for 7Ghz CPU. My Rev, Limiter, or Ruptor like i call it here allows me to enter 50/75% the red zone. So, please be kind not to populate this thead with "Don't do it anyway" ED is not maintaining a "known bugs" log for us, and it could be useful if someone start this kind of thread. you could save 1h when looking for a bug and 2h reporting a bug, because you easily found someone else already done that. Like everyone have the cursor bug, and i didn't tested the skhval yet. cheers ;)

it's not going, it's already done ! AMAZING featureS !!!! i wanted it so hard ! It's the first time ED implement some kind of real packages like in Falcon4 Now you can set easily (did i said easily?) - Rendez-Vous point with another package - Fly coordinates and formation with others packages - ESCORT packages with radius protection, actually 4x Attacking SU-30 VS 4x Defending F15-E + Awacs = USA wins 4-0 - Break formation waypoint, or infinite following until out of gas==> H.A.V.C.A.P. do it or die trying ! Applications : HAVCAP..... :smartass: SEAD ESCORT / SEAD STRIKE :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: CAS Packages + Escort and much more !!! Love it !

Last edited may 03rd 2014 / last changes in BOLD - DCS 1.2.8.27203 Note : don't lose hope, i know ED is reading this sometimes. Maybe nostalgia or sadness, but they're reading :) ! Here you can list what you have found so far with this new version of DCS World and Black Shark 1.2.8 (or earlier...) Thank you for your support. Gray lines means not it's confirmed/infirmed in latest patch. Please help me if you see any change Red lines means this bug should happen to everyone Green lines means this bug is hopefully resolved for standard installations Orange lines means it's a tricky situation. It can happen If you have a certified history change, it could be better - but don't forget BlackShark 1 wasn't perfect too.

It's seems ED won't let us Overclock our chopper are they recommend for our processors. why they made a 11K red zone RPM ? my car car go in the red zone without instant fail

it consumed 1 activation for each my DCS mods. i uninstalled DCS prior to intall 1.2.1. i just lost another activation, happy face \o/ Temperature indicator stuck at -60°c what a shame chinese tool !

Ok EtheralN, i'm taking in your advices. thanks. Clarifications : - Actually tests always showing understressed PCI 2.0 As long as the gaming maket will be led by crappy consoles, better save $ for this. So 2700K i7 has a great chance to win here. - Mobo.. a long story. I want something which easily allow OC and tweaks. the case-size doesn't matter. they all have at least 2PCI and some S-ATA 3/ usb 3. even 2 ram slot would be sufficient (2x8Gb) - PSU : AX850 is roughly 150€, think it's a bit overpriced for future proof. - GPU : 660 DirectCU II TOP. (Overclocked 2Gb Vram @200€) the 660 Ti DirectCU TOP adds 80€, and gains 1fps in most games. Not TOP version is stock Mhz and i don't like stock MHz ;) My next move will probably be another MacPro with Broadwell or Skylake, depends if intel stops kidding with high-end users and if the MacPro Line still exists. Probably sell or give this rig when the time comes. My very concerns are right now options on Mobos (heard Asus auto-voltage sucks, and i'm not wedded with them), and 70-80€ PSU. thanks for the help EtheralN Oh by the way, in my first post, i should add : Huge battle... and a bad dynamic weather :)

Hello folks ! For those who knows me : OKAY ! I surrender. Well, for some reasons (winter is coming, Arma3...) i may buy a quite cheap rig with SB or IB The facts are : holy S*** so much cpu/motherB on the market !! I read some info on the net, and it seems i may go with those : Socket 1155 : i5 2500K (110€) i7 2600K (150€) i7 2700K (160€) (think i'm going with this right now) OEM so basically need fans and heat sink... Mostly low stocks in retails today. i7 3770K (260€) Mobo : Asus P8Z77... admitting i don't know nothing about thses boards. don't want a bad surprise. GPU : Asus GTX 660 DCU II TOP (200€) (nice and quiet) PSU : something around 700W i guess? ---------------- My goal : Run DCS BS2, in high settings (and i mean it), in 1920x1200 or 3840x1200 with skhval ON, over a large city, with a huge battle going on. OverClocking admitted and intended by the way. Nuclear Power Feeded, i don't care about greenpeace. anyway, we will mine the moon soon enough for helium-3 :smartass: Moreover, i'm already about 500W idle and 700W in charge with current rig. Right now, in medium i'm at 10FPS, and low settings 18FPS, CPU bounded. What i don't want : Liquid Cooled system 700€+ rig Haswell UltraBook 10W processor for facebook. (nice screwing intel, thanks !) ED thinking they made a great source-code.:smilewink: So ? can you give me some advices? My GF can't wait to inherit my Xeons (for GW2 :cry::cry::cry::cry: )

MSI 4890 OC 1Gb But not for long imo, Asus GTX 660 DCUII TOP is appealing :-p And yes i make compromise with AA/MSAA/TSSAA/cockpit... But i make way more compromise with the CPUs, and that's another story.

Lokitexas, i must admit you're the guy which prevents me to buy this, even at 10€. First impression, didn't liked. You can't learn to love a game, either it's awesome, either it's not. When i tested BlackShark, i was : OMG ! didn't you heard that engine singing at start ? Oh it has a GPS ? Air conditionning ? i want one of those ! Today, i must admit the map textures and objects are kinda outdated, when you compare to Chernarus or even Just Cause 2 islands. You can't play in the forest, with haze, rain, fields, grass... but it thrills me everytime i hit the start button and all those new words Betty's yelling at you when you get to 400-600km/h So, that's sad, but... think i'm gonna stick with DCS, and sparing 15 $ for DCS 1.5, which HAS to introduce the multicores aspect :smilewink:

Pyro, actually, i've played almost every demanding games since 6 years, and i always limit the framerate to 60fps, in high-ultra mode. The next step will be ArmA 3, and i'll see at this moment. But, keep in mind Intel and AMD stopped the Ghz rush, welcome in the core war ! So yes, i have only 13.3Ghz (2x2x3,3) with my Xeons compared to CoreI hyperthread, but i won't buy a cheap overclockable PC only for BS. I've told myself : OK, i'll change it when its time come. But during years, i didn't saw more poor performances, but higher CPU optimizations. (ex : Crisis2, R.A.G.E., Skyrim which took 300-400% load charge and not a single lag, the only sad thing is UI are designed for consoles) When i see BS2 topping at 115% and my GPU making icecubes, it's killing me slowly. If it was a GPU problem, be sure i would have rushed a retail store. But when i see "My i5 OC @ 4.8Ghz" then... that's why i'm waiting the next Xeon Haswell, which i know i will not be able to OC. That's why i truly wish ED will take a look in their code pretty soon. Other than that, flying a desertic area with some random dumb AI, the game is very candy eyed :-D

That's why ED should definitely take a loor into their code. I'm waiting for Intel Haswell architecture, and everytime, they're saying it's a processor for ultra-book. With low overcloking capabilities, low frequency, i truly wish theses awesome games will take part into the reality of computing. Free Flight shukumi drops from 30 to 14-16fps and it's only a city... with a 3,3Ghz core2 and 4890 (a very good card which doesn't support Dx11)

If russians invents a EMP missile or something portable, you will say goodbye to all US aircrafts. There's far too much sensible electronics now imo.

Well, after investigations, i have to wait till mid-august for the steam version, cuz i made this ugly error buying Arma series on steam. But, one good thing, is many people complaining about bugs. So... if you have it, and tried it, be my guest, share here !

Hey, anybody has already heard of it ? i'm planning to give it a try tomorrow, but for what i saw, it's Operation Arrowhead, with 2 new FORREST maps, but pretty small. http://www.bistudio.com/english/games/arma-2-series/arma-2-acr anyway there some interesting screenshots.

Meh... Ok A-10 Cuba was a nice game. Unfortunately my Box is deep under others games. but hey, i've got a surprise for you ! Ahh good time when every flight manuals were included in the box. long winter nights to read and learn. High Realism Strike Fighter Simulation.. in 1997 And yes, if was quite hard but i learn how to play with a keyboard only. the joystick came for F4.0 Mac 2 years later. PS : If i well rememebr, FA 18 korea was one (if not THE) of the first Flight sim with 3Dfx support. ohhhhh it was so beatiful, on my mac ! Cheers.

Guile + geeks + F-16 = :D

- i like the F-16 in F4.0 - i thought it was a real smooth plane, easy to fly, easy to learn. - then OF / BMS / FF came. the plane was still really smooth, but, hell, WTF the messed with electronics! Should make a cartridge, then load it, then i don't know... play tetris ? oh and the stall thing pretty non recoverable. - I dropped it. Now if ED decide to make a US fixed wing, at last, bring us a new plane :) start to re-learn from the ground again, i know they love that, right ? (i know how to fly in A-10 Cuba, and i don't know in DCS A10C) Plus if they make a F-16, think about this huge Falcon community wich will start to compare bit to bit the DCS flight model to their work. do we need a DCS/BMS war ? PS (Off-topic): i just saw JASF video... lol ! even Falcon 3 was better.

I'm pretty sure ED will find less troubles if they decide to create a recent Mig/Su than any recent (lol) US's aircraft. they won't make a classified aircraft, and everybody's expecting F-18E. maybe.. in dcs 6.0

Will buy it only if they put the Microprose's music when i'm starting DCS. ;)

But one F-22 will toast 10 f-15 because the aim-120c is the best BVR ranged missile fired from 60k feets :D (i'm not talking about the Aim-54 poor tracking) And US aircraft are full of electronics. they're designed for Europe/Desert battlefields. That's why Russia's aircrafts have a real chance to get air superiority in a large portion of the world. :music_whistling: (i talked about this with an ex-chopper pilot in south america 2 days ago) You are somewhat right. When i tested black shark, I immediately thought : "OMG, lock-on looks so old already! " anyway, i'm glad ED exists. because they are the only true fly sim creator left in the world, with some kind of "dcs standing bottom line" I only wish they're gonna do a major overhaul of their engine one day. But i'm not sure they get the money to do this, nor the will. The Ghz barrier is true. 12 years ago, a friend told me : the future is multi-processors. twice as fast. I replied : no, the future will be Ghz-Thz. i was wrong. Look at you guys, most of you are linking his PC's spec in his signature. DCS is not intended to challenge Prime95 nor Cinebench. It's not the only thing, but a real few can run DCS fine. I will not advise my friends to buy this, because i already know i have the best hardware in all rounds compared to them, an DCSBS2 is hitting 30fps MAX while not being a GPU bottleneck. TL;DR : I hope ED wrote somewhere on a paper to upgrade their engine for true multicore. even if i read they hadn't. Let the GPU rule this FP/S world, not the CPU :) I voted the secret double life obviously. but i'm open to both choices :smartass:

Someone said one day : "Look Ahead" I was sooooo angry at this time. But he was so right. Truth is DCS could be an extraordinary product. But it' s getting older and older. And i'm sure they don't have a secret lab like this guy said @ 4mn35. BTW, the whole video for those who didn't knew it, is very interesting. Anyway, even Arma 3 will have great graphics, and extremely poor simulation designs for non-infantry things. in DCS, we have great simulation, and extremely poor graphics, aswell as Heavy CPU bottleneck, which prevents better things in the future. And yes, True multi-threading is a pain in where know you is it, to date, only R.A.G.E. made my CPUs gone above 350%. everything on max, on a 2006 hardware, it's really enjoyable.

Toxx is right. Never gonna to hapoen. more precise than kinect, but only viable for bots. You can't sustain your arms horizontally more than 5mn without support. And if you do, your arms will be unusable long before you die. Like the tactil keyboards. not viable right now, you can't rest your fingers without typing. It's sad those guys are making pure design tools. One true utility tool : Optimus Keyboard. the one they designed on photoshop some years ago. Problem : price, pieces size, weight, consumption, final ugly product (and heavily photoshoped on the site). The day they mix the Apple Keyboard, with digital keys, i will rush on it.

you can also do like in any chopper. Collective down, pull-up ! wait for you stall alarm, and then.. land roughly :D

Upcoming cool feature, i'm sure. right now i succeed in preventing guys to rearm. but not refuel. don't really have time to do extensive tests though. don't have a clue on suppliers right now.

Next time i should read what Wags already said elsewhere, before asking him to say again :) "Q: Does the vision of DCS World include naval combat? Matt: At some later point, yes. We envision DCS encompassing air, land and sea player control." (SimHQ) DCS DW is on the way, i won :D Bye bye Apache/F-18 :smartass:

Oh Sorry EtheralN, i thought it was the good section, as i am wishing DCS DW :D Looking at your pic, i remember now there's a lot of fields in DCSW. maybe you're right, DCS farming simulator is on the way :( DCS: Bicycle ? mhhh kinda limited in action imo. especially if you're crashing each time you're firing. @Welten, yes, i saw many threads talking about one particular mod, like next fixed wings. but no-one was expecting DCS: CA, which is bringing a whole new dimension to the battleground (like a RTS mod in a sim game). It was a nice surprise. For F/A-18C, i must admit i'm in love with this plane, much better than the F-18E. but unless we get some F-22 fast, we're already toasted in front of those SU30/33
