Now honestly answer, how many times have you caught yourself poking the Non Touch PC Monitor after being on a Tablet or Phone............ At least 20 times for me LoL :doh: :megalol:

JSF F-35A/B/C Supporter I love the JSF F-35A/B/C mainly navy version but love STOVL in fact a supporter of the whole JSF program going back to F-22 JSF and ATF programs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Strike_Fighter_program https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Tactical_Fighter Its more than just the aircraft its a whole new ball game from a new manufacturing process system that is state of the art facility. Watch.............. ....... and a complete new computer and software system ta-boot......... That has never been seen before with new hardware linked systems its a new world of fighter that of course costs are high and still intesting development phase. This video and I don't know how old it is also a good find............. F-35 supporter here :thumbup:

Yeah, I use to do that spending money on more crap until I just started using a normal vacuum cleaner. I also purchased a small vacuum kit like this....... http://i.ebayimg.com/thumbs/images/g/F~YAAOSwB-1Y27ir/s-l225.jpg Using air spray...... "LINK" Now can't be bothered just with love and care I do a fairly good job just with vacuum all is good :thumbup: Choices................... I guess............

Yeah was looking at that but I am struggling to keep up with you LoL My eyes :doh: thanks for nice mod keep it up hoping for a final release eventually to load on sim for keeps all mine hahaha

1./ Well there are heaps of online guides on how to here:- https://www.google.com.au/search?q=how+to+clean+inside+a+computer+youtube&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gfe_rd=cr&ei=gRMJWfetNobr8wf4uonQBA I use just a basic home vacuum and attachments. Follow safe procedure turn off PC and at wall switch ensure no power to MOBO so look for red or green light is off. Also PSU must not be active turn off at rear of case disconnect. Again the importance of a big or easy to work in case helps when doing this. 2./ Opinions and marketing will differ of course but many guys now use good Dual FAN Heat Sinks having great reduction in CPU Temps as I said there is a push in design to reduce heat. It gets complicated from there. 3./ Simple really just check different design specs if your looking for a HQ Heat sink I guess and maybe a large case as well to assist maximum air flow with 120mm Fans inside case in various places. There is so much online on this stuff....... http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/finding-the-best-cpu-cooler-10-units-reviewed-and-tested.196104/page-2 but it aint all that hard best speak directly with the vendor tech sales people online or on phone for best solutions But there is water cooling as option its all choice though. All I'm saying I run several PC's at home on large Heatsinks all is good never had a problem. :thumbup:

Eminem Vs. Eurythmics Sweet Dreams vs. W/outME by DJ Zebra

Hello folks, interesting thread its partly why I suggested a "Development Plan & Road Map" TAB in Forum, here is link if interested - https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=186909 ......... it would cover all this ..........but never mind me :dunno: I'm keen to follow this community thread input and learn more. Cheers all :beer:

Thanks M8 really appreciate it! Thank you very much honestly M8 I need guys like you as well. :thumbup: Tired of the .......... ...................well you guys figure it out seeya!

Fixer, tsst, careful, careful you will catch yourself out here. I have read many of your posts, especially when you talk they way you do with assertiveness as if you are more than others. Anyway not here for this with you, tired of it to be honest. You read what you want to and you say you are part of the community call others stupid okay m8 we are all stupid then everyone in the sim community is stupid okay. Nevermind the stupid people then.

Yeah, well sure all is funny and jokes are many LoL But the Forum tells no lies when people are repeat posting asking for When, What and Why after so many years, getting frustrated and upset and leaving which is sad. On the weekend I spent 2 hours digging through threads that many here have posted the very thing I am addressing. The things that people have said over the years here in this Forum and other online places that I have tracked personally; give good reason for this proposal alone. I might say in honesty myself included we all would like a dream sim right, just look at the current user list a sad reality of what is today for many reasons. Although here I am scratching my head finding a solution to answer member concerns that an "Official ED Product Road Map" that would be actively updated in a few minutes would help the community and benefit the readers with a simple one click and look method or approach that would also link you to the change logs if properly managed yes it would work to support the development of the sim. It would also help in areas of Moderation when I have witnessed many here who have had to explain and the history and/or how ED does things or current state of development correcting assumptions or misunderstandings that have led to community infighting because of confusing information on Forums or discussions that leave one thinking a soon release or ED promised this type Forum replies and online links but this is not about the ugly sad side of sims but how to improve hence the proposal/suggestion. I could elaborate further to support the proposal but I have already PM Chizh and WAGs for their consideration. The Forum does not lie neither does the online discussions with concerns and opinions (negative and positive) lie either we all have them on how the sim world is right. I'm here to help take the proposal seriously or not matters not to me I am here to help regardless of banter or whether people like or support the idea or not is no skin off my nose. Yes it would definitely benefit the community instantly on how the project information is presented to inform the community coming straight from ED Admin or ED Senior Lead Engineer Programmer. Also less work for all in DCS Forum in regards to keeping up to date on DCS development your chosen sim of choice thats why you are here right. I'm just trying to improve morale through better communication planning thats all in a nutshell and hopefully build a new community 18-70 years of age that would work best for future development considering the time and money we all spend on sims as an investment and hobby of choice. Cheers guys :smilewink: :thumbup:

Proposal for ED to make a “ED DCS Sim - Visual Development Road MAP Overview” To ED TEAM, This proposal is to help the Community as a way to better communicate DCS development through clear visual aid process and development plan pathway. As a business, mapping out what and how the development of the game visually looks like and tracking the current or undergoing stages in development or areas as ED Team deems necessary as a project in development. With the use of a process work flow format that makes sense to the community you target as a market. The community then can better track current stages and observe the change logs instead of clogging up the Forum with the same concerns and in reply posts or recreating the same threads over time. That I have observed like many its usually just repeated information that is old or known delays in development. To illustrate there are several areas in the Forum that do not correlate or communicate this intent with clarity and professionalism. On current development design and planning but only make it hard to read or understand the “Big Picture” or “Development Overview” aka Road Map in real current development of circumstances in Forum that ED are at in developing the DCS simulation. For example:- https://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=105 https://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=437 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=180185 https://forums.eagle.ru/announcement.php?f=66 https://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=66 Also much thanks to member “Silver-Dragon” he has tried really hard in doing the footwork to keep his thread informative here:- https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=116893 As you can see tracking info that’s found on Russian Forum, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or Forum Tabs is cumbersome and unclear to follow. So why not create just above the “The Official Updates Thread” make a Tab for either Admin or an ED Senior Lead Engineer Programmer to create a “Visual Project Road Map and Overview”. It would be an easy solution to a messy Forum situation with mixed information or unclear to users/customers to look and read at a "Project Road Map" in construct from a Development Plan view and sequence of events (Current WIP areas in development) posted in Forum and keep updating the Change logs from that perspective. Similar to this......... ( * NOTE:- Also to add there are powerful Forum Software platforms that offer tools to implement this also. ) Professional High Trend Road Map Templates can be found here:- https://www.google.com.au/search?q=trendy+product+roadmap+template&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gfe_rd=cr&ei=dI0IWci7N8fN8gef7bWADA Made in a professional way with boxes in a tree branch format explaining the road map process using shapes, headings, connectors, colors etc Kind of what you see on "GitHub Projects" with project illustrations on development pathway in a flow chart diagram type tree branch they do that really good. Also its not revealing any sensitive business information, just general market audience product information only for current project tracking by us the user/customer/community same as you see in the Forum but scattered unfortunately. Also Admin or a Senior Lead Engineer Programmer can mark or use some kind of color or check box effect on the current area in development, to keep it alive so to speak like for example now its currently at. For example:- STEP1 (Migrating DCS-WORLD 1.5 and 2.1 and patching it so it works as its in transition state ) Some videos to watch:- Well I have discussed this with a moderator in a general way and other users and in other games as well. In many instances its a missing medium that helps communicate and translate the difficulties in developing a flight simulation video game or video games in general. In a small dedicated developer group team dealing with the complexities of programming and game feature modules like DCS. Some game Forums have something like this but I think its needed here at DCS and should have been done years ago for community benefit to follow. I'm proposing this to ED Team and WAGS to consider if its accepted as a valid suggestion and opinion moving forward. Kind Regards

Without doing any digging on the history using Forum search on this topic here, as a developer has this ever been proposed to the ED team for integration or review or have they got their own plans for something similar down the track. I remember a while back reading about all this but being a mod app didn't go further and now more interested to see how if any support interest from ED team to take it further?

Probably layers over terrain mesh map issues or cloud layers in code have bugs incorrect parameter settings, who knows unless a developer/programmer explains all this from what they see in the master source-code itself. Again look at the thread your in "1.5 & 2.0 Open Alpha" just means issues unresolved and in an unfinished state. Gota wait till they roll over code-base "THE MERGE" and then see where things are at and then begin serious bug reporting on issues found and fixed in updates. They wont do that now I think, it would be pointless. I have been observing just how they manage the project (Development Plan) from this side of the business as I check the Change Logs - https://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=105 That is all you can do it would be sweet if we had a ED Programmer explain the "Project Road Map" in construct from a Development Plan view and sequence of events (Current WIP areas in development) posted in Forum and keep updating the Change logs from that perspective. I have asked about this in a PM from a code-base point of view like an ED Programmer posting a visual project road map overview / outline or diagram. Similar to this......... https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/1c/fc/3f/1cfc3fc91af44d221b917a8a0169958e.png .... or ..... https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/74/e1/6a/74e16a0abbe52ac14196b7c416747fdd.jpg Made in a professional way with boxes in a tree branch format explaining the road map. Kinda what you see on GitHub with commits but not so public of course if people understand my meaning here just more like a run down overview keeping it more professional. I also just quickly had a look at some DCS Youtubes they look the same as your pic in comparison to make the case for argument if any truth to possible issues, seems like there is more happening there, but again no way of knowing from here. They are a small group of developers and not EAGAMES in comparison so its a long wait. Anyhow feel free to carry on just felt to interject here. Cheers

Maybe in the distant future....................... For sure DCS in near future will need a full weather engine. This is a good read:- http://www.olafurandri.com/nyti/papers2010/ThePossibilitiesOfAVirtualWeatherEngine.pdf DCS needs allot of work which I hope will take place after "THE MERGE"adding realistic atmospheric conditions like.......... I.e. Air Turbulence Low-Pressure Pockets Wind Turbulence Jet Streams Funnels Cold/Warm Fonts Air Masses Air Velocities Wake Turbulence Clear Air Turbulence Microbursts / downbursts Wind Shears Low Altitude Oscillation Wind Flow Contrails and Vortices Effects and Causes Icing Thermal Condensation Head Winds Tail Winds Cloud layers More here if interested............ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorology#Aviation_meteorology There is no doubt that DCS will need a complete weather engine its a sim so like all other sims assuredly it will get a full weather engine to suit DCS standards if they choose to remain a sim developer as thats the market audience that they're in, aviation. It would come down to a priority list like............. 1./ One code-base stable and mature in code thats merged with other game features. 2./ Game features - C.A - Air-Land -Sea 3./ ATC module code into master base-code 4./ Weather Engine module ...... atmospheric conditions working like real 5./............. 10./ etc So till then we just...............

I have posted in thread a few times but every time I visit here. I recall how RAAF have used these sweet rides in training missions as they split blue and red F-18 fighters in mock attacks. Where they have fighters in cover escort protecting the DHC-4 Caribou as an enemy red forces tries to find as a target. Its been a vehicle of choice for many purposes down under including transport supply runs and emergencies etc Thats right I posted here:- https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3105560&postcount=149 Would be nice to have this as a historical muched loved RAAF bird and use it in sim. I hope soon thanks for pics also. :thumbup:

Yeah an OV-10A and a Vietnam Theater MAP would be a dream as well for me. OV-10A GPU-2/A 20mm center-line cannon gun pod, Thanks! :thumbup: ........... YES Please! But it wont happen sadly:cry:

They are good gaming rigs thats why, where "Speed and Balance" are a match. Good GAMING MOBO + CPU + GFX CARD + Plenty of Performance RAM etc Also forget water cooling get a quality "DUAL FAN HEATSINK" ! I posted here - https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3119211&postcount=53 Its your choice of course, but I would wait another 12 months or a bit longer after the merge of 1.5 - 2.0 etc Then they will optimize the sim for best performance nothing now is good for benchmarking PC's as all is Alpha and Beta state. Which means not finished or optimized for hardware, in other words. Again my opinion and choices we all have to make I guess. I am choosing to wait longer before I go nuts on my next PC build for gaming.

Meeee tooooo, With many years now people posting about wanting a Vietnam Map a "BRONCO OV-10A", imho would be a sweeet ride! :thumbup: BRONCO OV-10 NOGS System - All you need to know about the OV-10 Bronco - Story of the US Navy's VAL-4 "Black Ponies" operating the OV-10A 'Bronco' throughout the Mekong Delta of South Vietnam 1969 - 1972 - The Boeing upgrades to the OV-10X Super Bronco are nice.

New Technologies for Motorcycle Riders Brake Free Indiegogo Campaign

You are never going to learn this side of sim'g in a day. However I use to read and watch youtubes and take notes and try things out thats the beauty of learning just have fun. I might suggest play during the day where there is more light and you can see and read better if that helps. Or you could join the online squadrons like the - http://www.476vfightergroup.com/forum.php? Then you can chat online with an IP all that would be required is that you familiarize yourself with the A-10C cockpit............. Its up to you of course but your here and intrigued by DCS so just push on and have fun I guess.

Oh boy do I want this - Just think..... "F-35 Rider Clubs"..... LoL

For community benefit......... There is another thread about all this stuff and it all comes down to "THE MERGE" folks everything is either in PRE or ALPHA or BETA meaning not in finished state. I think its premature to report this kinda stuff, but feel free to do so or even delete my post if necessary but I felt to reply to help the current situation. Lots of rework will be getting done to the sim anyhow from what I have read after "THE MERGE", as this sim was released back in 1991 and being modernized from ground up. Its just the way it is for now you can make a bug report for it but they already know the state of each product its been brought up before.

Yep, all about tactics but if you know the route or way-points in pre-mission briefing planning you will formalize best employment tactics that are commonly used. Also have for example correct Intel on enemy targets in the hotzone location (mark points). You then have a clear passage to either first fly in at high alt and as you get nearer drop down to the weeds as per say flying in low NOE and when your at way-point close (1-3 Nm) to the threat zone do a POP-UP ATTACK using CCIP method. Or simple or fly in high above 30'000 feet clearing sam threats, but you got to look (S.A) and be ready for Split-S or defensive maneuvering and use your radars and have wing-man in full spread formation observing your 6 o'clock. :smilewink: :thumbup: For more info use Google Search .......... https://www.google.com.au/search?q=DCS+A-10C++CCIP+pop+up+attack+&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gfe_rd=cr&ei=Q-gGWZOBAuXDXovYiaAB Just tactics and some strategic planning using common sense in an air combat environment is critical to mission planning all other comments above will also be of help.

I have never tried a new VR set, people make it look good but as to how practical it really is or even work with home built cockpits like this A-10C ........ Also as you can see in the video below it would be impossible to find the correct switches without looking. ........how do you find all the switches and knobs? It might work well for other games but not sims in my opinion. I haven't started yet but will eventually build a home-built cockpit and don't see how a VR set will work at all.
