Is it possible to have two beta installs? I presently have DCS world beta installed, but when DCS world 1.5 comes out, I may do a fresh install instead of patching (e.g. because I want to migrate DCS world beta to a new SSD). Do I have to uninstall my present beta before that, or can I keep two different beta installs?

I recently switched my computer to windows 10. For SSD space reasons, I uninstalled the regular DCS world, and now have only the latest beta (1.2.16.42796). Everything works fine, but now I cannot connect to some MP servers (e.g. <51>US Korean server, 104th Phoenix server), as I immediately get a "connection interrupted" message. However, I can connect to some other servers (e.g. Virtual Aerobatics, Kirk's free flight server). Is that because I use Windows 10 or because I use beta, or for some other reason? (Btw I don't have (and never had) any mods installed, except for the add-on aircraft):helpsmilie:

I, for one, will be doing any kind of ATC communication for the first time. May the force be with me...:music_whistling:

Now this is something I applaud, especially the decision to release the new rendering engine prior to DCS world 2. I have long had the feeling that all the new bells and whistles that were packed into DCSW2 delayed everything. Anyway, proud pre-purchaser of the Albatros.

Had to miss today's stream. How was it, will it be put on youtube soon?

Is that DCSW2/Edge footage?;)

I just installed a new SSD, but it feels so empty and lonely without DCSW2 installed on it. Please release ASAP;)

release the kraken!

Can you also set up a count down to the release of DCSW2;)

Great, thanks!

Great, thanks for the explanation, now I understand. My only question left: why do I not have the same troubles in other cockpits (UH-1H,Sabre,Mig-15) is it simply a result of their gauges being naturally bigger with bolder lettering in the real aircraft, or is it (and now we are back to my original request to Belsimtek) that the Mi-8 cockpit it not made to the same standard as the other three, and can be improved?

My "textures" setting in the graphics options is set to high (see attached picture). Is there another place where I can select better textures?

Hi Zaelu, Thanks for the explanations, but I am not sure I completely follow (you'll have to dumb it down for me:) Do you say that I have to resave the textures in a higher resolution (and if so, why doesn't Belsimtek do that in the first place). What program to use to resave textures? I have 25xx pixels horizontally (don't remember the exact resolution) for my screen, but the cockpit resolution is limited to 1024 pixels anyway, right, no matter how good your monitor is, right? Screenshot shows how it looks on my monitor.

I didn't express myself right: For example, I mean that the numbers on the heading indicator (if that's the correct term, I mean the instrument to the left of the Doppler-indicator and left/down from the g-meter) are nearly impossible to read (unless you zoom in). Look at Zaelu's screenshot right after your post (#119), I cannot read his heading without having to try really hard. Maybe it's my eyes, but I don't have any difficulties in the other cockpits.

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?
