Hi, I will try to make a couple of tutorial videos for the Gazelle as I did with some other modules already. We are starting of with a... First Look & Startup HOT3 Anti-Tank Guided Missile Trim & Autopilot System: NADIR Navigation System (Miniseries): I hope you can learn something! More to follow! :pilotfly: John

Indeed the AOA indicator can be usefull in many situations. However, this article is jumping to weird conclusions, as most of the solutions they propose exist allready. Boeing (and I belive Airbus as well) have the option to display an AOA indicator on the PFD. Most airlines however, seem to decide against those. Additonally there is the option to enable a flight path vector like the one on the F-15 HUD, which could help in such situations as well. However, again, it seems most airlines have them disabled.

Those are the controll indicators. RCtl+Enter enables/disables them. If you go to Options > Special > UH-1 you should find a checkbox that allows you to turn it off by default.

Okay, the way you have it now makes more sense. Yeah, utilization is always a factor to have in mind. Outside of benchmarks and rendering you will probably never run either CPU or GPU on a 100% load. Fair enough. Though you won't always know what upgrading you will do in the future. :thumbup:

Wait, how is that efficiency working out? Why is the total ammount of power less than the sum of individual components? Considering that you don't want to run your PSU at the fully rated power, you would want at least a 600 to 750W power supply for the power specs you pointed out. Then, if you limit youself to a low power PSU, you don't have the possiblity to upgrade properly. What if you add a second graphics card, drawing anoter 250W? Throw out the perfectly good PSU and buy a more expensive high power model? Why not go with the better unit from the start and have a reserve for a later upgrade? The price diffrence from a Corsair AX760i to an AX1200i is about 140$. Seems much, but it will be more expensive if you have to buy a higher powered unit in 6 month, because you decide to throw in another GPU. And 140$ more in a 5k budget shouldn't be to big of a problem. Another benefit of running a 1000W+ PSU is that advanced units (like the Corsari AX series) won't even turn on their fan during normal operation, making them noiseless.

Wow, thank you very much for this info!

Well, something I would settle for: 1) i5 or i7 fitting to your mother board. Depending on your needs. If you plan to do video editing definatelly an i7. With the budget you have, I would go for the i7. If you consider overclocking (you should), go for the K version. The boxed cooler won't be sufficient enough, so go for a custom cooler. Either go for a cooler/fan from Noctua (http://noctua.at/en/products/cpu-cooler-retail) or go for a all-in-one liquid cooling from Corsair (http://www.corsair.com/en/cooling). 2) Definatelly an ASUS ROG board. Choose one that fits your needs based on the processor generation and RAM type. From experience I would recommend against Intel boards. Have been dissapointed by two of their high end consumer boards now. 3) GPU definatelly NVIDIA. I would recommend buying an ASUS card. The higher the number the better. Go for the TI versions if available, as they offer a respectable performance improvement. Using a single 4K monitor I guess it would be preferable to have a single, more powertfull GPU instead of two GPUs in SLI. 4) Get a decent 32GB packet. Doesn't have to be DDR3. Corsair would be my choice. 5) I like the cases Corsair offer. Make sure you get one big enough to house your GPU and cooler. The bigger the better (usually). My rig has been in 3 different cases by now, as upgrading allways ment I was running out of space... Make sure you have good ventilation. Invest some bucks into good fans (Noctua or Corsair) as well as a fan controller. Fan controllers can be choosen on your preferences. I have been very happy with a cheap chineese one without any digital side (no PC software) for a long time. Only recently switched to a more advanced unit for watercooling. 6) NEVER go cheap on the power supply. If it fails, it will usually kill of stuff connected to it. More power is better. For a high end system I would go for something between 1000-1200W. Corsair would be my choice again. 7) Can't really help you with the monitor. Consider that VR might become an alternative within a medium timeframe. 8) Make sure you have enough storage space. I would go for an SSD + hard drive combo. Install Windows and your games on the SSD (preferably on two different partitions) and have your files and other software on one or more HDDs. EDIT: Seems in the time it took me to write this (had to split it up over a couple of brakes ;) ) BitMaster came up with a very similar approach as I did.

No, doesn't work yet apparently. Probably will be fixed at one point. I guess that is all what we will get. I don't expect that any more advanced stuff will be implemented anytime soon.

Well, it is quit easy. At least as far as I have tried it only works in one mode: You move all the switches not related to flare release to the "up or on" position. Then it takes a minute or so to warm up. For example moving towards a Hawk SAM site this will reduce the distance at which the Hawk launches the first missile by about 4-5km.

Well, yes, there is a difference between US marketing and marketing from countries like Europe. As you said, if you have been in the US and Europe you will note a difference. I still doubt they will do anything different than any third party in DCS. In a global market, even if it is a German developer, they will probably go for the most common tactic. I wouldn't even be surprised if there is a ruleset by ED at which point the product will appear in the newsletter and the product page goes up. I still highly doubt a "silent release". We will hopefully see soon enough though! :joystick:

This is pretty mucht the opposite of good marketing. YOU want to create a hype. YOU want the people to be on the edge. YOU want to build up tension. Because a hype is excellent marketing. People will talk about the upcoming release everywhere, including here, other forums, reddit, Facebook and Youtube. Look at the big companies like Apple, Samsung, all brands of car manufactures and other big companies. Creating a hype for their product is one of the most succesfull marketing strategies. So I highly doubt an unanounced release. Heck, I don't even think we are that close. There just hasen't been enough teasing yet. I believe we will see a couple more videos (either by them and/or other content creators) and other news updates before we get even remotely close to a release. I wouldn't even be suprised if there is a presale first. And don't get me wrong, I am as excited as everyone else on here. The sings are just not there yet unfortunatly. And I highly doubt Polychop is using another marketing strategy than everyone else.

Can't wait to get my hands on this bird and get the recording started!

Hi, Well, you use the thin needels for everything now. The thin end either is the pointy bit so to speak, while the fat side is 180° reversed. IF you want to go to the station, the thin end of the 3K needle should be pointing to the station and the thin end of the other needle is pointing to the station as well. IF you want to go away from the station you point the thin end of the 3K needle away from the station while the the thin end of the other needle will be pointing to the station. I will consider making another video about this, however not within the next couple of weeks probably. Hope this helps anyways!

That's the mission I used on my video, if anyone is interested: http://www.blumen-huschle.at/John/Videos/Mirage2000-AAR.miz

If we are talking about the tanker speeding up, then yes, that seems to be a Mirage specific problem! I am having a huge problem with overcontrolling, mostly in the verticle. Are you using any curve in your joystick axis?? I had to add a curve of 10 for all axis to make refuelling a bit easier. Don't like it, however without a curve it was way harder. :joystick:

Maybe that helps out a bit:

Hi, Thanks for the reply guys! Yes I was planning to do a video about the INS, however as far as I am aware it is not fully implemented yet. Therefore the lack of information in the manual. So I think it makes more sense to wait until it is working as it should before doing a video on it Same thing for the radar, as it apparently will be made more releastic soon. Best regards, John

Got one more video for you guys today. This time it is about aerial refuelling. :joystick:

Where is that? Couldn't find anything on the panel with the fuel gauge...

That accelerating/decelarating of the tanker indeed is anyoing. Even if I can connect I won't get any fuel, like it has been pre 1.5.3. Wondering what step I am missing...

The Mirage 2000C has no flaps but it has slats instead. They normally work in an automatic mode, controlled by your current flight parameters. However, for checking them, you can extend and retract them manually if you so whish.

On QWERTZ keyboards the shortcurt is Ctrl + Z.

Thanks once more. Now nobody should miss the tl;dr section. ;) Do you have a chance to give a GTX 780 (withoute TI) a test? Would be interesting to see how that compares. :)
