I've maxed out my connection with every update lately, so I wouldn't worry about speeds (10-11.5MB/s usually). Also, I don't have to restart the updater fifty times to get reasonable speed anymore.

There should be a newsletter on 3rd Dec. so I would wait for that...

Set the argument number to 70 and move that slider more to the right... head will appear ;) Or just reset arguments in View menu. There is DXT1 RGB with no alpha There is DXT1 ARGB with 1bit alpha ...at least photoshop can save it like this, I don't know about other tools. If you can't use ARGB DXT1, you'll have to use 3 or 5. Color information is the same in 1, 3 and 5, it's all about the alpha.

First, your material name is wrong. It should be: pilot_P51_helmet_A for composite helmet (default) pilot_P51_helmet_B for leather helmet pilot_P51_head_A for white pilot (default) pilot_P51_head_B for black pilot Note that it's case sensitive! For DXT, there's no best format. Read this: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=DXT_compression_explained

Any sim that is open to public for money. Why don't you have one? Well, I don't know! Find a suitable place, build it, register LLC, get licence and start your business ;)

This:

Yeah and we still have the same MiG-29 model... :lol:......:noexpression:......:(

Nice!!! I hope that Wags will show some screens in highres like he did last time when the newsletter comes out. Those microscopic images from email just don't do justice. :)

Why not, there are tons of normal (bump) maps being used in DCS already...

^Yes

Which button is for shooting? :helpsmilie:

No. But it works the other way around.

Hey DonJosh, RSAF F-15 not now probably, although it looks quite easy. I think they're using the same camo pattern as US does with decals in english so not much work to do. I'd like to continue with Japanese ones as there are many interesting left and it's easier for me as I made a few already F-15DJ aggressor schemes probably next, but don't hold your breath! J.

Sale haven't started yet! Starting on November 22nd at 2:00 PM US EST, that's in two hours if I'm counting right.

Last two sales I was thinking about that A-10C.... to purchase or not to purchase... I'll see next time... now is the next time.... damn... L-39 is coming, Hornet is coming... but that could be like another year or at least a few months. I'll see... :D

Reduced engine wear = $$$. There's enough thrust at lower power setting so pushing it all the way is unnecessary engine stress. Google: Assumed Temperature Thrust Reduction FLEX takeoff

Because he's asking about this: Now you know. You won't substitute music in movies by turning the radio station on.

Great price, but I guess only if you're in 'Murica. :fear::lol:

That's a two seater, but I haven't ruled those DJ skins out at all. They're still good looking and there are not many differences between J and DJ (C and D respectively). I'll see where my painting journey takes me ;)

Then I think the problem it's not in DCS. We're all having a blast flying machines that we even if we had all the money in the world couldn't. Music or not. And we're already getting million times more action than actual pilots anyway. Stop right there and don't put words in my mouth. You're also twisting it too much. Topic was "music in DCS" and all I'm saying is that specific genres (not only games) have specific requirements, rules and specific demographic that likes it because of said features. Sure, they often overlap eachother, but still. There's no need to add realistic aircraft handling to Ace Combat to make it more simulation, there's no need to add dynamic music to DCS to make it more dramatic action. You just have to understand that DCS and simulators in general are using different mechanics to make it "fun" or appealing and if you find that boring, it's not the problem of the game, like I said before. And certainly not a case of "sim/game/kid/adult" argument that is stupid anyway!

I agree it's boring for many people. But the point is, that DCS and other sims (not only aircraft ones) aren't trying to appeal to that demographic. That's why is this hobby so niche compared to more mainstream genres. In DCS itself, the fun is more based on providing realistic and undistorted experience of real life combat. So flying over the half of the map only to drop one bomb or fire a rocket it is. Not fun at all for the most people, but real life is not a movie ;) Adding a music to make it more of a "theatrical experience" is not going to make an arcade out of it, but at the same time, it's IMHO absolutely uncalled for. That's how I see it.

Like... I partly understand what he means. Music is the big part of the whole gaming experience and especially dynamic music really creates the atmosphere. But on the other hand, I feel like DCS was always more about raw combat experience rather than drama you would find in H.A.W.X, for example. Don't turn this into "hurr durr games are for kidz, I play sims".

Or setting up FPS limiter to 24... ;):D /s

There is none.

Hah, of course, one of my favorite movies. Although I was lying about those internet points! Six years before the Top Gun and way better shots! Less Tom Cruise as well.
