  1. The T-45 is an unofficial mod so you’d have to ask the mod creator, not ED
  2. The situation on the ground could change requiring you to select a different weapon. Let’s say you’re engaging a moving target. Anyways that’s the goal of a particular Maple Flag Mission. How realistically that’s handled in campaign I’m not enough of an expert to say.
  3. Ok cool, yeah it would be good to get that into the system. Maybe Maple Flag has a sorta work around since you can’t actually make that request in the game. They put a scenario in where you need to change the weapon due to the conditions.
  4. Do you have Motion Blur enabled?
  5. It would be worth replicating how it works IRL. Some of the DLC campaigns have good implementations of this procedure which I assume are realistic. For example I think it’s always the pilots discretion on which weapon to use. The Maple Flag A-10 course makes a point of this. If the JTAC asks for a certain weapon that’s not appropriate or presents a risk to friendlies, it’s up to the pilot.
  6. That seems like artifacts from DLSS. Try turning that off if you have it on.
  7. That’s good news. The game will be much better off with a single version for everyone.
  8. This is really an issue for server admins to resolve, not ED. If server owners decided to use the game as intended and run the Stable version more often, players would follow. ED can’t get rid of the Open Beta, they need it. And they can’t make the OB single player only, MP needs to be tested as well. But ED could stop actually marketing the OB for multiplayer use on the store page. The OB should be a test version not a de facto release, which is how it’s treated. But in the end they can’t dictate how the players use the game, that’s up to them. It’s a puzzling situation, no other game I’m aware of uses its test version in multiplayer for obvious reasons.
  9. The AH-64 actually has toe brakes so that axis is useful.
  10. He sorta admits later you can see the difference (his testers can) and then goes on about how high refresh rate is better, which is just a matter of opinion and really depends on the game. In a flight sim I’d go for the resolution. Maybe an FPS game would prefer the rate. The idea you wouldn’t see the difference is baloney. They’re looking at 24” monitors too the other whole point about 4K is it makes bigger screens look better. Again better for flight sims. Again his videos are made to be entertaining click bait and if there’s any good info there it’s buried by his annoying persona. It’s hard to actually watch the whole thing. Not going to get too many hits on a title like “4K Gaming is Great If You Can Afford It” I don’t doubt that. The Steam Hardware survey shows 4% using 2160x3840. And 60% using 1080p. The reasons for this are logical but again the end result is that PC gaming is sorta mired in a resolution that was all “hey wow” 16 years ago. In this game I would suspect that number is much higher. Funny if you look at Apple their iMacs sport 4.K screens now even for the 24” size. No doubt 1080p is the majority for Windows machines since they’re used by businesses too and some average users have not much good use for more. But for any sort of image work, photos etc. the high res is vastly more appealing. The majority of Console gaming is almost certainly in 4K, half of all households in the US have a 4K TV, you can buy one for less than the console itself. I use my 48” screen for my home office work too and when I go back in to the actual off I’m struck by how awful and tiny the screens are. It makes me want to stay home
  11. Yeah looks like this is broken again. I got it fixed in Stable 2.9 by just redoing my snap view for zoom normal. Copying that .lua over to DCS.openbeta doesn’t work now though.
  12. Many situations in DCS can be CPU limited, those with lots of objects i.e. cities, aircraft or other units. In those cases you won’t see any improvement from a stronger graphics card. A better graphics card will allow you to run higher resolution, antialiasing, textures and such.
  13. Specs below. No trouble running the game smoothly in any SP or MP scenario between 80-120fps without any tweaks or fixes. That maybe doesn’t help the topic, just to say the problem isn’t something simple to do with certain CPUs and it is indeed possible to run the game well.
  14. I’m running 2.9 perfectly well on a 13900. I’m sure many people are. That by itself doesn’t seem to be the trouble.
  15. Yeah sorta and then he tries to correct himself. Like a typical egghead he goes into a bunch of math about pixels instead of just looking at the screen. My first 4K monitor was 27” and the difference was completely obvious. Apple figured on 5K for a screen that size in order to minimize seeing pixels. He has a bunch of testers who probably need their eyes checked too. The point of these videos is to get people to click on them for entertainment, not necessarily to give out good advice. Does 4K look really nice? Yes. You don’t need a YouTuber to tell you that.
  16. PS Linus is a total dummy when he says you can’t see the difference or he needs an eye exam.
  17. Sure. 4K gaming is a bit more expensive but it’s very nice. I’ve been using 4K since 2016 so discussing it like it’s new is rather funny. Honestly though if I had to choose between Ultra graphics settings, a good 60 fps minimum and 2160p resolution, the resolution would be the last priority. But of course you can actually have all three these days. DCS is not very GPU hungry compared to some other games either.
  18. 4K in flight sims is fantastic. You can read every tiny instrument and see all the ground detail and identify aircraft by even reading their markings. What’s amazing in the world of video is 4K is a universal standard for TVs movies, console games etc. PC gaming is the only media that hangs onto lower resolution anymore. It’s funny to mention 4K as if it’s “new” when it’s been around for over 10 years everywhere but in PC gaming.
  19. There’s a setting in the Gameplay GUI menu “Improved Spotting Dots” when set to Off it reverts to the 2.8 method. I don’t think the .cfg method ever worked so they put an actual setting in the game menu.
  20. My wife thought my 48” screen was crazy but now the trouble is she keeps using my PC while her tiny laptop gathers dust. The home office of the future! (today)
  21. This will do it: copy View.lua from C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\View paste into your Saved Games folder C:\Users\Youname\Saved Games\DCS\Config\View Then edit: CockpitMouse = true --false CockpitMouseSpeedSlow = 1.0 CockpitMouseSpeedNormal = 10.0 CockpitMouseSpeedFast = 20.0 CockpitKeyboardAccelerationSlow = 5.0 CockpitKeyboardAccelerationNormal = 30.0 CockpitKeyboardAccelerationFast = 80.0 CockpitKeyboardZoomAcceleration = 900.0 DisableSnapViewsSaving = false UseDefaultSnapViews = true CockpitPanStepHor = 45.0 CockpitPanStepVert = 30.0 CockpitNyMove = true I’ve actually come across one server with this .lua overridden, I have no idea why. But in every case I don’t see this violating the IC since it’s in your Saved Games folder.
  22. I hope they don’t consider this solved just because everyone now has the option to toggle either method. That just creates an exploit in the game.
