Thanks for this!

I think I read somewhere they hit their target something like as little as less than 10% of the time. I made the joke that saying pew pew would be about the same as firing them when we had the plane without working missiles. If you fly 5 times you should only expect 1 missile to hit. On average. It was also meant for non-maneuvering rear aspect attacks. Unaware targets (sadly no such thing in DCS, I think) or big bombers. Ground reflections and the sun could easily confuse it. Here they say 16% from '65-'68. If you fly 10 times, 2 missiles each, with proper conditions, 3 should hit, on average, even at that rate. http://www.donhollway.com/foxtwo/

The key is 75 fps at dk2 resolutions is obtainable. I have a 4k monitor with sli 970s and while i can at times get 75 frames and usually well above 30 i am _far_ from a steady 75 at all times. If its going to take 4k to look good ad 75 fps to not stutter and make people puke, its going to take quite some optimizarion.

Is this happening when you're playing multiplayer only, specifically when you have TeamSpeak up. There is a bad interaction between the Saitek Profiling software for the X-52 Pro (not sure if it is the same or similar) and TeamSpeak, where you need to change 'Default' to 'Keyboard and Mouse Only' (in TeamSpeak) Settings>Options>Hotkeys, bottom right drop down. It does al kinds of daffy things otherwise.

Not the X-52 Pro. Mine also had a problem with the mouse stick intermittently drifting hard right. Plugging and unplugging it 50,000 times (3 or 4 really) would eventually get it to work. Gave it away after getting a warthog and it haunts the new owner eternal as well. I am not too impressed with the Saitek Pro Flight Combat Rudder Pedals either. They have a lot of jitter on the toe breaks, though I set dead zones in the Windows control panel and they seem to work fine. I am not impressed with Saitek products. Can't speak about the X-55 though. Never put my hands on one.

We all accept cares depreciate over time. You would not be happy if there was an unannounced 60% off sale on all new Dodge 1500's (assuming you bought it new, and such a sale would ever happen) two weeks after you bought yours either. One thing we can both agree on, I'd probably pull my back reaching for my wallet for $150 Alpha access to the F/A-18C module as well, possibly even knowing if it gets me only two months of play before it is generally available. Definitely if it was six months. F/A-18C is worth it to me. A MiG-15 on the other hand, not really. But it's different for everyone.

Diapers are a little different. They're a consumable. One could argue that thinking ahead and knowing you're going to need another box fairly soon you might cash in on that deal and buy another box. You could certainly say diapers are expensive and I don't make a lot of money, so I can't afford to do that, and I couldn't argue. But many could probably swing it. There are also multiple manufacturers of diapers. The ones you buy meet your price/quality criteria the best, but if they were constantly doing something that annoyed you you could switch. On the other hand, once I buy a MiG-21Bis module I don't need another. In some rare circumstance some might buy it for a friend who might otherwise not even buy it for themselves if the prices is right. There is also only one MiG-21Bis module in a modern flight sim engine (are there others at all?) There are people among us (me included, guilty as charged) that can't wait to fly it and will pay a certain premium to get it day one. Knowing that the development company will (hopefully) eventually get enough money to recoup their costs and make a profit, I fully expect that they will go after people less interested in the MiG-21Bis. People who wouldn't pay 50, but would pay 40, people who wouldn't pay 40 but would pay 15, etc. If $50 vs $40 means weeks of getting to fly it that is worth it to some. If $50 vs $15 means months, again that is worth it to some. To others it means very little. To me $30 for a handful of days isn't much of a bargain. Lets put it this way, if you could have it a week early for $300 or wait for release for $50 would you buy it? Maybe you could say yes, but I think most would not. Same principal, smaller values of money and bigger values of time. When a company puts something on sale for 60% off, two weeks after it is released, before it's even out of beta, that is both unexpected, and very not worth it to most people. Now, ED and Belsimtek made good on that business faux pas and I certainly don't hold it against them because of that. Reproducing that same scenario seems inadvisable.

Can you share your lua, your monitor resolutions, what you want where, and symptoms? I had some 'fun' writing these not too long ago. Sometimes an extra pair of eyes goes a long way. When I had a 1920x1080 main screen on the right and 1024x768 on the left this is what I used:

Check your monitor settings. I had a dual monitor config that was out of whack (I think it was the aspect ratio that was wrong, so it could happen with single monitor if this was wrong for you as well, I support) whose only noticeable effect was screwed up heat blur. similar to what you see behind the su-25. If nothing else just reset your resolution and let it recalc the aspect ratio, etc. I don't promise it will be what's causing it, but that worked for me.

I leave everything plugged in. Even the TIR pro clip, with its long cable is run through the back of my desk into a draw where I can easily win d it up and tuck it away without unplugging it. And I leave my USB receiver for my headset plugged into it as well.

Can you share? Since they changed to lua.diff files all my throttle has is section for the slider. I'd be interested in doing this for other aircraft as well though. Flaps too if you can share an example. Thanks!

pfft. sub-sonic touchdown, lame :music_whistling:

Create/Start with a mission with a MiG-21Bis loaded with Gunpods. You have the overhead panel to control the gunpods, naturally. Load it in multiplayer (not sure if this is multiplayer specific - this is where I first encountered it and experimented) and rearm. When the panel for the nukes shows up you can not manipulate it. If the plane is unarmed at mission start and I load a nuke I don't have this problem, but if I switch over to gunpods I can not manipulate the panel for those.

I have reproduced it on a new mission. Create/Start with a mission with a MiG-21Bis loaded with Gunpods. You have the overhead panel to control the gunpods, naturally. Load it in multiplayer (not sure if this is multiplayer specific) and rearm. When the panel for the nukes shows up you can not manipulate it. If the plane is unarmed at mission start and I load a nuke I don't have this problem, but if I switch over to gunpods I can not manipulate the panel for those. Something is horked.

You misunderstand. I can put an Rn-28 or Rn-24 on the plane. But as I said I can not flip any of the switches on the overhead panel after it's put on the plane.

Is the nuke disabled in Multiplayer or something? I was goofing off the other night and had some friends I was going to show the nuke off to, only to find that I can not click the overhead controls to do so in multiplayer after rearming... If I go through the steps in single player it works fine. Not sure what's up.

Good call. My monitor does indeed do 75 Hz at some lower resolutions :thumbup:

You do it in the display settings in the control panel after setting up the OR to work in extended mode. It will appear as a second monitor which you then make primary. I do not have a monitor that does 75 Hz and I can experience the judder first hand if I leave it as primary and run DCS. Word of caution, the menus suck to navigate in the OR. Someone told me the lowest two resolutions work pretty well for it though I have not personally tried yet.

I have an i7 3770k and sli 970's and no judder. I dont buy that you have to overclock the system to get rid of judder. Is the OR being set as the primary display on both these rigs? If not does one of them have a primary display thats doing only 60 Hz? If so thats a recipe for massive judder as was my situation.

Bullitt got to it before I did. Specifically: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgian_Air_Force#Aircraft_inventory Doesnt even look like they have the Ka-50 the game gives them.

It should work either way but, as I understand it, unless you have a Primary monitor that can do 75 Hz you're in for some serious judder if you don't make the rift Primary. My monitor only does 60Hz and it makes a huge difference for me in DCS World, but I notice no difference in Alien Isolation, so it may just be a DCS World issue. Having the rift as primary unfortunately makes starting the game and navigating the menus a total PITA. They are not set up for Oculus Rift so I end up moving what I can left or right and closing one eye or the other. I know they can fix that, as Alien Isolation menus work with rift, so hopefully down the line it gets all that wonderful attention. These are the early days though, so I expect the growing pains. The moral of my story is that if you can do 75 Hz on your primary display then leave the Rift seconday. :)

Do you find the S-25T HUD readable? Even with the large fonts it has by default I find it difficult to read.

I have SLI 970's and I don't take them out of SLI to use the Rift. What funky magic it' could be doing in the background I have no idea.

You need to set it extended but unlike DCS I experience no judder with it left as secondary monitor. The menu screens work with OR too so navigation of those is easier as well... Google for setup instructions. You need to edit a line in an XML file and pause the OR service. It's all fairly easy.

I have read they do some stuff in Elite Dangerous software-wise to remove the issue. It's noticeable on the edges, due to the lenses. Maybe eventually it will become part of the SDK so devs don't have to compensate manually. Alien Isolation is a blast in the OR for sure.
