“This is also among the reasons your eyes should be at the top of the monitor or near.” If the top of a 24” high screen is at your eye level then the bottom of it would be at your knees

Yeah I guess you’re trying to wiggle your way out of that silly stuff you said earlier about setting the screen down at knee height No matter how you mount the screen nobody’s gonna put it that low.

I suppose not but it’s the easiest solution. Not sure why you’ve got such a hangup about desks It’s a normal piece of furniture most everyone has already. Putting your monitor on one is a no-brainer.

And it works just fine. A monitor like this could be wall mounted behind the desk but that wouldn’t change the height.

The monitor has a short 2” high stand and is not adjustable in height. Desks and chairs are basically standard heights and this works very well for the average sized person. Any bigger and it would probably be too tall for a desk. A desk in an office is pretty handy. With a 24” high screen if you set the top of this at your eye level that means the bottom of the screen would be at your knees. That would be really odd

I have a 48” 4K OLED on a Desktop and with its very short stand it’s just about the ideal height. Pretty sure that’s intentional in the design. It’s so nice it’s nearly life saving. The issue when you get older is you won’t be able to see well up close enough to use a “tiny” 32” screen. I work and game on this all day and I can’t say enough about how great it is. Life saving even…

Jets don’t really need R and L brakes at all (in a game) for those I just had the left toe brake assigned as a mono axis. You just need to tap them quickly, with practice you can taxi adequately. Like driving a vehicle in an FPS game using a keyboard. You need a Yaw axis but it could also be a twist stick. Pedals are a bit better but not mandatory. The first time I got pedals I had to learn all over again too. “Good” ie expensive pedals look nice and feel good but I don’t know that they're so beneficial. Precise input is only so important for something you control with your feet. It’s interesting to see FFB making a comeback. It’s been nearly extinct for a very long time.

By the time AI becomes that advanced it will have taken all our jobs and the only thing left for us to do will be to play DCS

This was supposed to even up the difference between high and low resolutions. Doesn’t seem like that was accomplished.

You can do this now but yeah I can foresee a time when you just interact with everything(one) in the game like wingmen and ATC by simply talking to it Hey Copilot, In Digital Combat simulator, how do I drop a GBU 12 using the FA18C Hornet? Dropping a GBU-12 laser-guided bomb using the F/A-18C Hornet in Digital Combat Simulator (DCS) involves several steps. Here's a simplified guide to help you get started: 1. **Load the GBU-12**: Ensure your aircraft is equipped with the GBU-12 bombs. 2. **Master Arm On**: Turn on the Master Arm switch. 3. **Select Air-to-Ground Mode**: Switch to Air-to-Ground (A/G) mode. 4. **Select the GBU-12**: Use the Stores Management System (SMS) to select the GBU-12. 5. **Set Laser Code**: Ensure the laser code on your bomb matches the code of the designator (usually set to 1688 by default). 6. **Designate Target**: Use the targeting pod (TGP) to find and designate your target. You can also use a JTAC or another aircraft to lase the target. 7. **Set Bombing Mode**: Choose the appropriate bombing mode (AUTO or CCIP). AUTO mode is generally preferred for precision. 8. **Fly to Release Point**: Follow the guidance on your HUD to fly to the release point. In AUTO mode, the bomb will release automatically when you reach the correct point. 9. **Release the Bomb**: If using CCIP mode, manually release the bomb when the pipper is over the target. 10. **Confirm Laser On**: Ensure the laser designator is active and lasing the target. 11. **Bomb Impact**: The bomb will guide itself to the laser spot and impact the target.

Yeah that’s why the report is so puzzling

There are people on this thread with Intel too but the OP is using the 7800X3D FWIW I get 120 FPS on that test miz and that’s GPU limited, didn’t test what I’d get if I removed that

It seems like some people using VR cannot see the spotting dots. Haven’t noticed anyone who uses a monitor say that. The first round of this feature likely made them the same for both since they appeared gigantic in VR. They must have been adjusted to be different now. I don’t use VR so I can compare. You’ll note above other have.

Using VR or monitor?

Last I heard turning the Spotting Dots Off just reverts the feature back to the 2.8 version. There is no true Off setting. You need to restart DCS for this to take effect. If you aren’t seeing any effect that may be why.

I see it score way lower in these. Not sure which test is the most relevant to DCS though. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/cpu_benchmark-cinebench_2024_single_core Despite its troubles the 14900 still seems to be the king here. I also see these performance bug reports where the 7800X3D is getting 25FPS vs 120+ for the Intel something is certainly wrong there I’m sure.

Yeah and users are free to exploit this at will online.

Ok agree. That’s indeed a different issue. I watched the video and yeah that shows a clear problem I hope that was made with the old spotting dots because those are huge!

Well no there’s not a true off function. That comment was for ED. There should be an actual Off setting since the current Off merely enables the 2.8 version. Using 4K that effectively means you can’t see them so it’s pretty much an “Off”

The two are related and an inevitable consequence of the whole concept. - Dots need to be bigger than the aircraft because if they were smaller there’d be no point in using them. - At some range or size the dots will stop rendering when you don’t need them and then you’ll see them vanish. If you don’t want to see this effect don’t use dots. The dot labels are nearly the same thing but they don’t vanish, plus they’re configurable for size and such. I’m not sure why the game needs another option.

The difference between 30 and 60 FPS is very noticeable. If you don’t notice that you’d have a severe vision disorder. And the human eye can perceive something like 20,000 FPS although your vision doesn’t really have a frame rate Right, now move your finger back and forth in front of you. How many frames would it take for that to be completely clear? Like 20,000

Yes, not sure what your point is. You say it’s “not a valid source” in the video? That’s ED’s Global Business Development Director speaking, I think he knows the customer base. Did you actually watch it?
