  1. Check this, looks like exactly what you need. Thanks @toby23. LINK http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/86362/
  2. I know this is a really hard question. But no-one?
  3. Hi all, Question: with the Ctrl-Pause twice, you get the expanded FPS window top left corner.¡ Nice feature, it shows also 'memory usage'. What is that? Memory by graphics card? Mine is always 2790 mb, so I guess that's my HD7950 full memory in cache. But then, I always hear, DCS is much more CPU dependent, not so much GPU. Can somebody wiser than me shine his/her light on this? Thanks! Greetz from Holland.
  4. Nice one, will try Grimes' also. Sorry for hijack:thumbup:
  5. Dude. Really? That is pretty darn good if u ask me. :joystick:
  6. Kuky, read all your recent posts, following your advice, you were fed up also with the distortion, I remember. Thanks for your time, will change now. B.
  7. Hi guys, Just switched from SoftTH to the good ole 3camera setup - I could not cope with the distortion anymore. I searched my A%$ off, but WHERE OH WHERE is the guide that explains how to change the angle in which the 2 side cameras are 'looking'?:( I now have 2 wings in my 2 side viewports/monitors, wanto to view more 'forward rather than sideways. I read it before, saw all PeterP's stuff, etc tec. Anyone?? Setup: 20" 30" 20" PLP (Dell 2007/3007/2007), total 4960 x 1600. Thanks a bunch! Berend.
  8. New manuals - A5, B&W, me happy Just got these in - just to share my :):):) and any tips if you plan on doing this yourself. I split them up in 3 parts, as you can see. Reasoning: I skipped certain chapters from the 'main' Flight Manual, like history, general design, etc. This to save costs and not having a huge fat manual. The max number of pages allowed for print was 600. The Flight Manual is +- 480, CE is 210 (I added into that also the Quickstart Guide), the Checklists are +- 30 pages. I wanted to have quick access to the operational side of things, hence the Combat Emplyment and Checklists. Size A5, covers are +- 200 gr. colour, really nice and thick, rest in B&W. I was worried about the B&W, but it's no factor. 2 minutes into a document and you forget all about it. Only downside I noticed is that some arrows, pointing to stuff in pictures, disappear as they are the exact same grey shade as the background. This happens mainly in pics of the HUD, really not bothersome. Furthermore, as you know the manual is prepared for printing already in that the left and right margins allow for the binder. If you skip pages, like I did, sometimes the margin order reverses. VAGUE VAGUE This means that here and there you have a page with a wider margin on the left (allowing for the binding) but the actual binding is on the right, and vice versa. This I knew beforehand, but you then have to add some sort of 'intentionally left blank' page, and really go through it. I did not bother, the binding / holes never penetrate the text. Costs: FM 28,-, CE 10,- and checklists 7,-, plus P&P 8.-.(to The Netherlands, printed in Germany I think) Got them from EZbook.nl. Just checked, no English unfortunately. Cheers, happy landings. Beech.
  9. Same here, NOT noticeable, but... perhaps 1 mm. (1/10 cm. and 1' is 2.54 cm., do the math). So I wouldnt worry about it AT ALL. Enjoy the stick, its sooooooooo great.
  10. Thnx everyone, very nice to notice that this is seriously answered. Fish, I subscribed before I even had the sim in my possession....:thumbup: Daniel, what do you mean with the charts of "-1" ... ? Cheers, Beech.
  11. Cheers! Hey guys, thnkx for quick reply. Especially Panthir's explanation suits me well - I need to focus much more on the CAS role than any other style (like said, high alt pop up stuff etc), and forget about the vertical capability. I remember that the Falcon was quite excellent in that. The sim still rocks, dont get me wrong. Wouldnt have invested in the TM WH otherwise.... Last question - the yaw effect, I guess I can eliminate that partially by a more gentle easing into the turn, as you guys say, 'yanking is not the way to go'? Will practise more, see you in any virtual squadron? Looking for a good one... Thanks again, Beech / The Netherlands
  12. Greetings all, New to the sim, transitioned from F4.0 (original in box :)), to F4AF, then nothing for too long, now.... DCS. Me like! Owner of WH #10698, bought for the sim. QUESTION. It's a great sim. But. Is it me, or is it a bit of a mushy airplane to fly? I seldom see more than 2.5G instant, let alone sustained. I read the tech info (BTW, is that missing in the manual, things like the different operating speeds, gear and flap opeating speeds, operating ceiling etc etc??), and e.g. 350 KIAS in 1G I will never reach. Other example: a sustained load of 3+ G at 275 KIAS, I just cannot get it. I am referring to tech info below. Furthermore, yanking back on the stick gives me this very unpleasant yaw moment after a second or 3. I have no rudder pedals installed. Any comments, PLEASE?? Thanks, rgds from Holland. Beech. Selection: "... Technically, the maximum airspeed for the A-10 is around 450 knots IAS, either with or without external stores, or Mach 0.75. However, this speed is seldom ever reached and in normal operations the max level 1 G speed is about 300-350 KIAS depending on weight, configuration, and temperature. If the aircraft is flown on manual reversion, when both hydraulic systems are down, the technical speed limit is 390 knots IAS, or Mach 0.75 and with the gear down the speed limit is 200 KIAS. The maximum G-loads for the A-10 with a weight around 30,000 pound is +7.33/-3.0 G symmetrical and +5.80/-1 G asymmetric. If the aircraft is close to its maximum gross weight, the maximum G-Load goes down to +5.0/-2.0 G symmetrical and +4.0/-1.0 G asymmetrical. As I mentioned in part one, the speed brakes have quite an impact on roll rate. At 300 knots with the speed brakes closed you can get a roll rate of around 130 degrees per second, but with the speed brakes at 40% roll rate increases to 200 degrees per second at the same speed. The rudder becomes effective around 50 knots IAS. Having one engine go out will require moderate rudder input to counter the yaw but even with one engine out, there’s still enough control to fly where you want to fly. When the flaps are deployed, they will increase lift and thus decrease aircraft stall speed, and they will also increase the amount of G available at low airspeeds. Deploying the flaps will result in a slight nose down pitch change. Level flight characteristics are good. The A-10 has very stable low speed handling, but it will not trim completely ‘hands off’ for any extended period of time. The A-10 has a very good instantaneous turn rate, but the sustained turn rate isn’t as good because the aircraft does not have enough thrust to maintain its speed. However, it is still capable of more than 15 degrees per second maximum instantaneous G just prior to wing stall. There is a stall warning system which will warn the pilot that he’s getting close to a stall by sending out a ‘chopped’ tone. This system will also give a continuous tone when the aircraft is at its best performance, and for the best results you should hear that tone without getting to close to the stall point. The aircraft itself gives little stall warning but it has the earlier mentioned warning tones and when the gear is down a stick shaker will warn the pilot of impending stall. Stall speed depends on a lot of things, but without flaps and at a weight of around 30.000 pounds it’s about 120 IAS. Once in a stall, the A-10 has excellent stall/ post-stall/ spin characteristics. To get out of a stall the pilot has to reduce the AOA to below stall warning and do the obvious things like retracting the speed brakes. Overall it is a very easy aircraft to fly, which is good because a pilot’s first flight will be a solo flight. ;) Sustained load factors at 150 knots 2.29G Sustained load factors at 275 knots 3.26G Instantaneous load factors at 150 knots 2.34G Instantaneous load factors at 300 knots 5.0G Stabilized 45 degree dive speed 260 knots Take off distance at max gross weight 3850 feet ..."
