Hi, My system is : Windows 7 64bit 16GB DDR3 memory i7 2600K @ 3.40GHz Nvidia GTX 590 3GB Asus P8Z68 Deluxe Motherboard Crucial 128GB SSHD Below are some pictures of my system running DCS Warthog on High and Low settings, what I'm looking for is advice to get it running smooth, has anyone here got the same setup? Advice on changing any of my components. On Low settings I get between 50-60 FPS, I have Vsync set to on as I use my plasma TV at 1920 x 1080 On High setting I get between 15-30 FPS, I'm using Nvidia monitor and GPU-Z to get the information. First 4 attached files are Low Settings, the other 5 are High Settings, I've also attached one of the processor cores working on high settings. The only problem I can see is hitting the video memory limit on high settings, but what I don't understand is on Low settings why don't I get solid 60 FPS as I can't see any bottleneck in the memory or processor. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Fish, can you please tell me how you move along the side of the pit when you've zoomed in with the TrackIR please, what key or key combination, thanks.

Great video, Thank you.

Hi HawkMedic, Thats the way I'm going to go, map the key in TrackIR and use the paddle switch as a modifier and use CMS up and down to zoom in and out, and some other combinations for gear, ect ..

StrongHarm I will check VAC out cheers, I totally agree with you about the setup of the HOTAS it works great with the Warthog but as there are 2 autopilot buttons on the HOTAS Throttle I thought I might as well use one for something else. But as Viper said about TrackIR locking out any mapped buttons it uses then VAC might have the same problem.

Didn't have all this trouble on my Commodore 16 in the good old days, all I needed was the game and a joystick :joystick:

OK another question then :music_whistling: If I use TARGET to map my HOTAS when I get into the mission the plane spins uncontrollable, I've read somewhere that using TARGET is not advisable because the sim maps the HOTAS directly with DirectX can the two not work happily together?

Depth, No, I'm trying to map the throttle button to F12 to centre my TrackIR view.

Viper, Thanks for that information, makes more sense now, thought I was missing something simple.

Hi Depth, If I clear JOY BTN15 from in the HOTAS Warthog Throttle column like your pic then the button does nothing.

Hi Viper, In the HOTAS Warthog Throttle column it shows JOY BTN15 and if I goto change it I can only choose from the JOY BTN menu, am I missing something?

Hi, Thanks, Yes I set it in Game to with same result ..

Hi, I'm new here and would like to say hello, I'm sure I will be spending a lot of time here, I don't know if thats a good or bad thing. :smilewink: I'm now the proud owner of a Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog, TrackIR 5 and the DCS A-10C Warthog flight sim and think its great, I'm slowly finding my way around it but got a long long way to go. I'd like some :helpsmilie: please, I'm trying to remap my left throttle button to F12 but it is not being recognised, this is what I'm doing, I go into Options then Controls, In the drop down Aircraft menu I choose A-10C Sim (as I've chosen simulator in the options) and in the Category drop down menu I choose HOTAS, then I highlight the line "HOTAS Left Throttle Button" I press Clear then ADD, In the Add Assignment Panel, Key/Button drop down menu I choose F12 then press OK, back at the Controls menu it now shows F12 as the keyboard button not Q, I then click OK to return back to the main menu. I'm still flying the training mission so I load one up and when I press the left throttle button it still engages and disengages the autopilot, F12 is not recognised, when I go back into the Controls menu it's showing F12 as the keyboard button. Any help in telling me what I'm doing wrong will be gratefully appreciated. Thank you.
