now i know why i've bought 2 GTX670. one of my rig will suddently miss its gpu ;) Soon, is a word i learnt from CCP and ED. Now it could be in 2014 or 2015. I don't really mind.

Oh sorry, i got away since this time, and i don't like thread necromancy but... Armor = kinda Shield, or points of armor obviously. The difference between Highly Explosive Bullets (HE) and Armor Piercing Bullets (AP) will determine the damage done on tanks and other armored vehicle. Usually, explosive stuff do highest damage on the softest target. The life, is... well, it's the number of points given to an unit. Example on my table : Your can hit a bunker with 2 Vikhrs (50 life = 2x38damage. Armor piercing test passed) or 1 Vikhr and 2 rockets KOM, but throwing a deadly Kh-25ML anti-ship missile will never result in a success. (50 life, = 160 damage per missile, but the armor test is rejected. The KH-25 can penetrate 0.01 armor, not 0.1 which has the bunker and toughest tanks). By the way, i just updated the codex to 1.1 (ok i thought i did it long time ago)! enjoy

Thought this kind of behavior was resolved... I don't get all the "random mind" AI code though. As for jumping yourself from shark to shark, this feature is kinda new, i never really tested it on the field, like the cheated repair command ;) I'll give another try soon enough. Edit : Well, it seems my guide stills works well at first glance.

I'm not a multicore engineer CofeeBoy, but would it be possible if, for example, the main displayed map runs as usually on 1.5 core, and the second part of map is calculated on a dedicated other core, separately, like if we had another instance of DCS openned, in map mode (no sound, no render). If multiplayer is possible, i don't see any big deal concerning client synchronization around borders too. We know Falcon 4 code is tricky, like X3 we are in a defined bubble. outside this zone, everything is about probablities and statistics. ED has the chance today of having players with computers more supercharged than the superchaged PS4 (lol) itself. So ? what about having more than just one instance of DCS ? sometimes i played with 1.2.4 and 1.2.3 on each screen just to compare :D my CPU was holding fast.

Even if a SCS DW mod is appealing, these are 2 different games. apply Dangerous Waters to DCS, and you will sit in the middle of black sea doing nothing. And if they intend to create command stations in FFG or SSN (i don't dream, creating a full underwater world is not... quite easy), please, make something more... less cheap. I can't see a DCS ships module without reworking the water itself. Right now, sea warfare is more like Battleships, the game : A map, a target, a button "Fire", a chance to win. naval ops should be started by removing all bugs and make something realistic with cruise missiles and CIWS. Right now 2 russian ships can remove a full US battlegroup (Ships, + anti-ships F18s) from earth. 2 vs 20 is not interesting, especially if those 2 win hands down.

I would not be surprised if ED changed some behaviors, with the help of my guide. Infortunately, i can't play DCS right now, i even still have 1.2.4 ;)

as far as i remember, ED has never fixed any non-repairable subsystem since BS1. i listed the hud in 1.2.0 already. There is tricks and things to avoid in Black Shark. But usually, it doesn't have an effect on your gameplay, unless when cheating the life. (imho, the worst bugs are the crazy shkval (for some people) and the bomblets lags) As it's said before, if you damage your bird, change it, or deal with it :D

Heading AP is the first one i disable when flying. this channel is the main cause of rotor intersection, when flying at crazy speed. i don't turn off other 2, unless for a barrel roll or looping. Ka-50 is a dream to fly, it just needs a better graphic engine, especially at low altitude.

like ligthert said. hibernation when you have 8Gb of Ram, equals 8Gb os hdd. i have a 256Gb SSD, and everything installed (some games, some apps, some music) i have 70-100Gb free. not enough for what i do. how could you manage it with 64gb ? :)

Ka50 has firepower Ka50 has horsepower Ka50 has the engineering It even has TV reception, for your favorite programs. What else ?

Almost all products were on top 40 sales today. Great job. Even if i didn't had time to enjoy. Steam comunity is much less conciliant than in ED forum. best luck to ED for future crisis.

Corsica mountains and cliffs will be hardly well retranscoded in game imo. that will remove a good part of beauty from this island. If Russia, and M.Depardieu come to "protect" independentists (those ones who kill Frenchs just because they're Frenchs) 2 solutions will be possible : - Corsica will still be part of France. Thus having foreign ships in France territorial waters will trigger a full NATO scale response, like in Balkans but much worse. Italia, Spain and France will intercept every ships and planes from their mainland. US, UK and Georgian military forces will be welcomed in mediterranean sea, to add some more fun. Conclusion : Russia lose. - Russia shows theeths, react to any threat with it's nuclear weapons. But as Corsica independency is not supported by 90% of inhabitant, it's still an act of war. French Communists party dismantled, and, by the way welcome to WWIII. Conclusion : Everybody dies, like in Defcon, the game. ;) Well, i'm curious how ED will turn this up.

I'm sorry Quid, just re-read and had a better understanding now. For your question, it depends your model / brand. Some have 2 dual link DVI, some have 1 dual link and more mini display port, which can go to 4K if i'm right (rev 1.2). but you should be good in every case. even if you need an MD adapter. so now can DCS go down to 1200p while keeping 1:1 scale? i freaking don't know that lol ;) but i would bet it's a no. Virtually forcing an app to run underscaled, in window mode, why not, but in fullscreen... i suggest you'll have better chance to look in windows stuff. not dcs.

Ah ? it's happening, finally ? Corsica has declared their independance, killed once again their governor, bombed every police and army bases ? and the Charles De Gaulle is deployed in mediterranean sea? This island can't survive without the mainland. Maybe some Rafales and Mirages 2000 can show them why ? haha, good find by the way.

LoL i used to go at 4.3 with my stock intel fan with the 3770K. then i bought the H110i Watercooling for something like 90€. although i customized it a little, cuz it didn't fit in my case (swapped case/WC fans because they were too big to fit at top exhaust). Noise = quiet / very acceptable (unless you go nuts) OC = 4.9Ghz temp = with the wrong fans, i got to 75°C this summer. (30 ambiant) advantage = my high profile RAM are happy. (they can be un/fitted without trouble)

Cfx / SLI useless in DCS as far as i remember, not sure ED can do something about this actually. (but i can be wrong heh). Now can you take advantage of 2 cards for 2 screens? i don't know. your 7870 equals a GTX 660+, but there's chance you'll take a CPU hit again with 2 displays. so as long as your VRAM is not filled, your card should be happy. from another side, dual screen is just not recommended, because your hud is split right in the middle, and it's very uncomfortable. I can't even remember any game i enjoyed playing with 2x screens, because the central information is always in the middle. The best choice is 3 screens. which i'll hopefully do before 2014. now is your 7870 will enjoy 3x30" ? or 1x30"+2x23" ? i doubt.

how's that BaD? doesn't have access to DCS right now. about the pitch problem, BBQ, nice video. thank you Devrim and you. is it hapenning while online only ?

if that's true, that's a feature i wanted to see for a while now.

probably the copy-paste of the newsletter. moreover, Wags may be dancing in streets by now :) it's june 21st

All my previous GPUs were like F16 turbine (noise + temp) in any 3D game. (1900XT/R4890/8800GT) They're dead by now. Then i tried ASUS DCU2 with Nvidia 670 and ATI 7870. I never heard my 670 and it never exceeded 70°c I heard the 7870 and it exceeded 81°c so, in the future, i will stick with Nvidia Asus DCU2, even if it's 50€ more than others brand. But a Titan... well... maybe it's too much for that price. i would go for 2x770, (more screens, more fps in others games) Anyway, congrat for this jewel

Yes and no. A while ago, EtheralN explains us that it may depend the CPU architecture too, (floating point etc..) as proof, my xeons were capped out @70% per core. And they was the problem, definitely a CPU bottelneck. (my gpu was at 40-70% load in such situation)

Oh, finally rules don't need to be in a horizontal flight? easy stuff then. And that's not my personal record. Moreover, i didn't cheated this time, but without drastic rules, anyone can easily cheat in a track. (like being stealth immortal...) So, my 2 cents : 636km/h @ about 2600m ASL if you want to see realistics speeds, ask to be in a horizontal foward flight. you'll see more 350km/h sharks. ;) I would not accept any track without enforce immortal (false) options at least. It's all about rotor intersection. Cheers ! ERF_Topspeed_int.trk

About the ATC, that's a good news ! awaiting to hear this : "Hornet 1-1, Nalchik tower, Next time request clearance before landing" => Bam ! martial court ! About IG... well... any news is always welcome. so thanks. can we have pics now ? :D ex : Oscar the skeleton walking in a desert ? ;)

Probably because if you're experiencing such a performance with only 9 A10 around you, the game would be unplayable in a high populated scene, or getting through a dynamic cloud (dynamic weather was an issue on my xeons). (just my 2 cents) anyway, i'm posting screens for my i7 3770 / 670dcu2 setting for 26fps If i put MSAA 16xQ or such, i'm down to 23fps. anyway, while in flight, i still fly @ 40fps, so not a problem. GPU VRAM rise to 1500Mb, and still @97% load. major problem, is this scene is only 750 objects. I saw scene with 2000+ objects, and these hurt a lot. Note : i took this screen after the FPS Hit. (first 10 secs i'm at 36FPS)

didn't digged too much but : AVG FPS: 26 MEMORY USED: 2863 MB @2400mhz GRAPHICS CARD: NVidia GTX670 2GB CPU: Intel i7-3770K @ 3.9 GHz (stock) VRAM : 1150MB AVG GPU LOAD : 98% Notes : 1920x1200 WHQL 320.18, all high. no exception. 2nd pass OC to 4.8Ghz : AVG FPS : 26. :( obvioulsy, 670 is the problem. Anyway, it's smooth :)
