Hud failure is why steam gauges were invented..... I think ;-)

I couldnt agree more, Leave the devs alone.. 10 hours of play time and the most I have done is learn to fire up the hog and do a landing pattern... talk about depth, this thing is going to take months to master. Bravo DCS

After watching project 10.... First I changed my pants, then I decided no matter what I must run this game fully maxed out with the eye-candy, so my question is what do i realisticly need to upgrade to do this? I have an phenom 9950 quadcore, twin nviddia 9800gtxs and 8 gigs or ram. Suggestions? Will Win 7 make a markable increse over vista 64? Addionally anyone know if that realisticly modeled a10 stick will be out in time for release? And Finally anyone know the expected price on that stick? Thanks guys can't wait to fly...

I flew the hog online for years in LOMAC.. Sometimes you get hit but not as often as you would think, great fun and cooperation with the hi fly boys on my team, Stay low and follow assigned routes, and fly with a wingman and you'll be fine

I love steam... Have bought Many many games on it, with never a problem, love the simplicity of buying without going to brick and mortar store. I have actually many times bought over steam games that I already bought boxed copys of because I broke a disk or simply cant find the manual with auth code. Also find some really great games on there that are no longer found in stores (dues ex, x-com) I love steam, and have to support what they do to help PC gaming in a time when many developers are moving away from PC

27 - The fellow that recomended STP (spare time pilots) was right on, hop on there. good guys, if you see a munny in game send a shout I'd be happy to do some flying with ya

I used to have a hard time kepping the shark where I wanted after touchdown, espesically in high winds... Now the second I touch down I drop the thottles down all the way (page down twice) and I have no probs, can refuel rearm ect, and just pop em back into auto position for takeoff, try that I bet It helps you

op has the best name ever.

OEm visat 64bit off new egg for $80.00, Worth every penny after i got a 30fps boost in DCS and all my other games look amazing

sand - I used to get horrible bounceing in my zoom on that rotory, both in LOMAC and BS I tried for months to find a fix, sadly the only thing that ever fixed it was a clean re-install of windows, Not sure if yours is as bad as mine but when tryin to visual id a target 6k away it was maddening enough to warrent a re-insall :)

I also have the x52 and use the thumb rotory wheel to zoom, mine works great, not to fast or too slow, I set it in the axis commands to ZOOM VIEW and set it as JOY RX all this is in the black shark key settings, not SST programming. try this and you should be fine

I get a good decent ping on ka50.com server, its always up never passworded and there are usually a few peeps on there working togetehr. they also have a TS server always up. look for munny I'll fly with ya

yes, that is the case if there is no Hardware changes I believe

I dont really agree tangoRomeo , I got vista basic 64 for under $100.00, and although i dont know the release date for 7 I think its near then end of this year, i hate to deprive myself of the extra power vista offers at that price. I guess it depends on your machine, in my case I had 5 gigs of ram and 3 cores that were not being utilized at all so It was a no brainer. Also I think I will wait for at least a few months after 7 release to let them get the kinks worked out, seems like new OS's have a bit of hiccups at the beginning. Just depends on what your willing to spend... Side note, anyone know what the price of 64bit 7 is expected to be?

Hi guys - I had debated for a while about putting Vista on my machine, had heard such terrible things about it, little driver support, XP is rock solid, ect. I bit the bullet and installed and am here to report WOW. just hoping some people who may be on the fence go ahead and take the plunge. I am AMAZED at the improvement I get in BS, its almost like a differnt game. I went from 12-15 fps over a busy airbase to 35-40 ! and over open country skys the limit. I think vista is a must have to take advantage of this game. :thumbup:

I have had long time issues with My X52 "bouncing" on the rotorary wheels.It would kind of jump up and down slightly makeing my view "bounce" in and out slightly (rotory was bound to zoom view) I tried everything and eventually just lived with it, but the other day I wound up doing a fresh install of windows on my shiney new TB hard drive and the problem no longer exsists. Extreme no doubt but may solve your problem

I Did a search and read several posts about using the affinity tool to run BS on multiple cores. It was said that this is not possible in XP. I read a bit on the internet about some ways to patch XP to use multi core.. So my question is Is this still true that XP can not take advantahe of multi cores in DCS? If not Im going to buy vista, and need to know if the home basic 64bit version will be all i need to take advantage of dx10, 8gigs ram, and quad core support. Thanks

Great vid, great flying.. Any tips on how to achive that lateral flying speed? lots of rudder against the roll or what?

just read thru this thread (whew!) and am wondering, I have two 22' lcds that are the same brand, and I want to run the abris and shikval on one. I noticed a few people talking about framerate hits when doing this... Do yall think I would be ok running that witha 9950quad core and a 9800gtx? Its not a pain now to zoom in on these things, and i guess I would rather zoom in than take a performance hit, but It sure would be cool to have the 2ed monitor. Thanks

just a bump.. hopeing someone knows a workaround

Is there any simple way to add voice to track files like you could in Lockon? I searched and found this thread http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=596789#post596789 but was hopeing for somthing a bit easier, and I dont think that method would help what I want to do anyway. Thanks

here is a simple track of a short flight and an AA lock up and kill. I couldnt figure how to add voice to it but you can still watch the procedure for the most part. I get to the target area, aquire visual on the chopper, get the reticule close, work the shikval over him, and then launch. Smallest shikval box possible, and i Always aim for just below the rotors. Hope it helps aatrainng.trk

awsome thanks.. After i read the abris section of the menu I was looking for a external targeting panel, which confused me. Time to start reading again...

Hiya guys Getting used to flying online but had a question. It seems like some fellows i was playing with were checking to make sure they were on the same frequency (like 127.48) so they could see each other on the abris. I think it was automaticly set up to do this if both guys stared on the same color wing (mission overlord or somthing on the ka50.com server) anyway listening to them it sounded like it was possible to change your "squak" freqrency in case you both started in different attack groups ect. to match and see the other helo on your abris. Question I have is a) is it possible b) if so where can you suggest i read about it? or is it just as simple and typing the numbers and hitting an IDENT button? thanks guys

there is a way to get really close and then lock with padlock view, ect. it was discussed in depth in a post a month ago or so, im looking for it here is the post SPOLIER ALERT for mission in deployment campagin... fair warning http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=38074&highlight=padlock good luck
