    Yes this would be a good fix.
  2. SharpeXB
    This is still happening. It’s not “Fixed” Seems to just happen randomly, sometimes a problem sometimes not.
  3. SharpeXB
    I believe it does

    I don’t notice that BATC has any significant hardware requirements. The main obstacle I think DCS would face is simply not having enough users to fund such an add-on. And again these are actually subscriptions not just a buy once product. As cool as BATC is and it’s very cool, I wonder how many gamers in DCS who just blast off down the taxiways are willing to write down and read back taxi instructions

    Look how long it takes to accomplish “simple” things here and you want this? I agree it’s a cool idea. How long as the “improved ATC” without all this voice recognition been in the works, 8 years? Sure this is a wishlist so wish away…
  6. SharpeXB
    Great idea but just realize these things in other sims are paid subscriptions and have probably 10x the player base DCS has. Plus they only do ATC and not all the combat comms this game has. I can’t imagine ED would have the resources to do this.

    A Dynamic Campaign A Save System and a reliable Replay System. I’ll believe this when I see it each one of those is 6-8 years work at the ED pace of development. Plenty of games have these features without spending a decade to develop them or needing such elaborate justification to include them.
  8. SharpeXB
    It would do that. It might not give good feedback for usable gameplay settings though. And there are better ways to test whether your PC and components are functioning normally. I wouldn’t use a game benchmark to diagnose PC trouble. It would still be a very easy thing for ED to include a “Benchmark” track in the game but for the reasons above it’s only so useful.

    You probably know this but the in-game counter will tell you if you’re CPU or GPU limited. I’m not sure what the point is in being so elaborate about performance testing is when it varies so greatly.
  10. SharpeXB
    Well of course. For example rudder pedals are nearly universal between aircraft so saving and loading a profile for those works pretty well. But there are few truly common controls for these modules. If I was setting this all up again, and will be soon with a new HOTAS I’d create a profile for say the throttle with that axis and the zoom view and such on it. Then copy it into each model and edit from there. I can’t envision what a “control set up wizard” is never seen one in any other game.

    Seems like a simple reasonable idea, all this needs is a standard track in the game. Some reasons why I think it hasn’t been done: It could only use free maps and modules and so might not provide useful results for the range of content in the sim. Personally how an Su-25 flying over the Caucasus performs is irrelevant to me. It would require a working track feature. This has been broken for many years, not sure if that’s been fixed entirely. DCS as a sandbox has the potential for such a wide range of scenarios, a “typical” one is hard to define. Multiplayer is sometimes much more demanding than single-player. Any preset or standard track has the potential to have bugs or break. The game will change and evolve over time so trying to be so exact about how any particular component performs for this one game at this one moment isn’t worthwhile. Finally all you need to test your own performance is to run your own track. I don’t know that a standard one matters so much. But it would be easy to include with the game.

    Do they write English in Australia? Yes, get TrackIR. It appears Beam Eye Tracker is not very good. It shouldn’t be necessary to disable head tracking like that in order to use the cockpit.
  14. SharpeXB
    Yeah I get about 120 FPS at the most using a 4090 and being GPU limited. Using 4K and max setting and 4x MSAA. Maps like CW Germany will be lower.

    Yes DCS and everything else looks fantastic on an OLED. I gotta say DCS is rather dated and doesn’t exploit what a screen like this can really do like HDR but it’s still the best this game can look. I was curious about burn-in too but there are pixel shifting and cleaning feature which seem to negate this. I use mine for working at home full time as well as gaming and haven’t seen any sort of damage from three years of continual use.

    I don’t know how ED will do a global map since they’ve said the streaming technology which would make that feasible isn’t affordable for them. And a map that size which needs to fit on your drive will look like something from 20 years ago.
  17. SharpeXB
    I was curious about this too when considering a stick upgrade. I think very few flight sims today have native support. It looks like that’s all generated by the stick software. But yeah native to the game would probably result in better quality. I see DCS is a mixed bag depending on the module.
  18. SharpeXB
    If it’s not already possible in the config files an easier solution would just be the ability to change the cursor size and color. Personally I have no trouble seeing this using TrackIR. My guess is that this issue is particular to VR given the small sweet spot of some HMDs but not head trackers in general. Also, welcome to DCS

    Ancient! my last packaged game purchase was in 2010 and I started DCS in 2012
  20. SharpeXB
    Were DCS modules ever sold as hard copies? Download is malarkey? That doesn’t make sense… This doesn’t strike me as the type of game someone would rent. It’s not like some game you play through in 20 hours or so and then quit. Those possibly made sense to rent but not this.
  21. SharpeXB
    I don’t fly the F-16 but that HUD behavior might be realistic. The A-10 HUD image extends beyond the edges of the glass and you need to move your head to see it all.
  22. SharpeXB
    Maybe GameStop could stock some DCS discs
  23. SharpeXB
    I wonder if it simulates crashes in those racing sims accurately
  24. SharpeXB
    Even better. It’s = contraction of “it is”. its = the possessive of “it” So it’s an aircraft that carries bombs under its wings

    Oh my bad. It would be Eagle Dynamics’ map since Dynamics is plural. Corrected to Wag’s map.
