Hi guys, Thanks for the answers, very helpful!

Hi guys, I mostly fly the Sabre and Mig-15. Has anyone found corner speeds or diagrams for them? Thanks:thumbup:

I think a basic trainer would be nice, but only if DCS would come with realistic ATC communications/controllers, charts, flight lesson campaign, etc...

Thanks for the answers, really helpful. Think I understand the big picture now:thumbup: Back to my original question. Where can I find all these numbers for the DCS planes? Have they been summarized somewhere, or do I need to dig for them in the manuals. I am afraid I know the answer, I'll have to go dig through the manuals, right?

Essentially I want to know what IAS I have to choose for each aircraft to have the best chance at outturning an opponent. (assuming full tanks, gun ammo, no bombs, no drop tanks). Or even simpler: what needles need to point where to have the best chance to outturn the opponent. Diagrams would be OK (here's to hoping I can understand them;))

Hi guys, Does anyone know if there is a list that contains the corner speed (and possibly other goodies) for all (or most) DCS world fighters? If so, please provide link:) Thanks:thumbup:

Thanks for the advice, guys. I have an 850 W power supply, and this is just what I need (according to Demon's link) for 2x GTX770 SLI (assuming that recommendation includes also enough power for the remaining hardware). So, my question now, in people's experience is 850W enough to run 2x GTX770 SLI plus the rest of the computer? Thanks!:thumbup:

Q: The cockpit resolution is limited to 1024 IIRC in DCSW1, which is usually lower than the screen resolution. Will DCSW2 allow higher cockpit resolution?

Helos and Las Vegas will make for very nice anti-terrorism and anti-drug-trafficking missions:thumbup:

I run a computer with a single NVidia GTX 770. Am I correct that buying a second, identical video card will give me the best bang for my buck once DCSW2.0 has been released? In any case, I need your advise, since I am hardware-illiterate: is it as simple as buying a second identical card and sticking it in the appropriate slot on my computer, or is it more complicated than that? I have heard the terms SLI and Crossfire used for running two cards in parallel. Are those software solutions, or do I need to buy a special cable to connect the two cards, or what? Your advise would be greatly appreciated, and keep it simple, please, I am not familiar with most computer-speak...

Q: Will the Nevada map have seasons like the current Georgia map? (summer, winter, etc). How is it in real life, is there a noticeable winter in Nevada at all?

Will Belsimtek do something to improve the cockpit textures? The Mi-8 is the only cockpit for which I cannot read some of the gauges (such as compass) at normal zoom. (I have to zoom in to be able to read my heading...)

Have they said anything about the windscreen wipers? They are not functional yet, right?

I missed the Q&A session. Has that been posted anywhere yet?

Wags you are a sadist. It's not enough for you to have fun playing DCS 2 and NTTR, but you also make us watch! No, seriously, release it as soon as possible, if if not yet perfected. Call it a pre-pre-alpha, technology demonstrator for the public, or what not, but release it so that we can do what you are showing in the twitch live streams.

Matt said they would listen to customer feedback. So now my feedback: release this thing now! It already looks amazing. Minor glitches can be fixed in patches.

one hour to go, right? Just want to make sure I have the correct start time for the event...

True, but the developers should be the first to understand complexity and should have not given us estimates that are off by years:music_whistling: Furthermore, it appears to me that they have continuously increased complexity by introducing more and more features. If only they released improvements step by step they would reduce complexity. By waiting to release such a major update at once, the complexity and the associated potential for bugs, etc goes through the roof.

It can't be as important as a test flight over NTTR:).

Thanks, Grimes!

I am sure ED has its good reasons to delay, and we'll have to accept it. But I am just curious about all the people saying they are willing to wait for a polished product: for how long are you willing to wait? I remember it was 3 years ago that it was announced that Nevada with edge will come out that year with a comment "for sure this time" Then about a year or 1.5 years later it was announced that the many changes that will be made to DCS world warrant an increase in version number from 1.2.xx to 1.3 (apparently there were many features added), and that 1.3 will be the next patch released. Then another year later it was decided that the new DCS World will be DCS world 2 (apparently because of an additional significant increase in features). Whereas it is positive to see that the project ambitions grow and grow, at some point I want to be able to use it. I am worried that soon it'll be announced that the next DCS world is "DCS Super" with even more features, but with a release even further away. I agree that DCS world is the best simulator out there, and that DCS world 2 or DCS world super will be even better, but...

Hi Grimes, As promised, I attached two "missions" (it is a highly simplified version of my mission that does nothing but output test texts). They are exactly the same, but one uses the latest mist, and one the previous mist. The latter one works as expected, the prior does not. Would be great if you could figure out what causes this. Thanks, also for the explanation in the previous video. Wolle test mission for Grimes.miz test mission for Grimes with old mist.miz

That's not what I am saying, just the opposite. With them putting so many features into a single release the number of crashes, bugs, etc will grow exponentially. Instead I am saying add a small number of new features, release it, fix the small number of bugs, then release another feature with a new batch, take it step by step. It is OK to try to adhere to a high standard before releasing something, but if that means a 2 year or so delay (as we have had in this case), then the standards they have set for themselves are unrealistic. Just my 50 cents (not complaining, just expressing my (quite possibly wrong) personal opinion)

I respect ED's decision, but I don't like it that they try to pack so many features into the release. I'd prefer that they release it step by step. If they want to make it perfect, it will take an infinite time and we will never see it. Please release an imperfect version, and then keep improving it with patches. That's my opinion.

Thanks for looking into it. I'll send you a sample mission tonight. A quick question: under what circumstances is "combined arms message" displayed in the line above the actual message? What is that meant to indicate? I don't even own CA. Wolle
