If you don't mind higher price and power consumption, MSI Gaming X cards are excellent. The cooler is huge (check your case dimensions), silent and well performing. Overclocking is a little bit of a lottery though, there is no guarantee that any card will overclock well. Just know that the card actually have both 8 and 6 pin connectors unlike other 1070.

SmallShit is grass, if I remember correctly.

It has nothing to do with FC3, ED or any other developer. Problem is with some user-created liveries, therefore the authors are the ones who need to fix their own stuff. And if they're not willing to fix it or you don't want to wait, you can do that by yourself. That's it.

I just want something green, not a desert with occasional town. I don't like sand, it's coarse and irritating and it gets everywhere. That's why I'm looking forward to Caucasus update, although another map would be great.

1) A-10C changes into A-10A when zoomed out. It changes back to C after zooming out some more. 2) Starboard engine nacelle looks funky. See attached screenshots.

Almost there! Looks like specular map is now correctly set except for some switches and buttons (both cockpits in ZA). Example screenshot attached. EDIT 11/11/2016: Bug is now present in stable branch as well.

That only applies to textures saved with DXT compression, but I can see that they're saving these textures uncompressed actually. So just save it as 32bit (8.8.8.8 ARGB).

Both width and height of the texture has to be a multiple of four, so a number that could be divided by 4 (without remainder). You can see the textures usually being 256, 512, 1024, 2048.... which are all multiples of four.

They're not blank, you just have to look into alpha channel.

Looks great. Would be nice for them to fix this as well, since they're making DCS pretty: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=154420

Well I do appreciate the caucasus update as well, especially after they stated 15 times they not gonna do it, right. ;) And the definition simply describes the business model, can't see anything wrong in that.

F2P means free to play. So no upfront cost for playing the game with additional content sold separately. That is DCS.

My account is getting charged everytime I purchase a module. DCS World is F2P with paid DLCs. You can't make up ridiculous comparisons to "other companies" (maybe give an example?) just so it can fit your narrative. There are plenty of F2P games out there, much bigger than DCS, and nobody is getting charged for core updates. That's the definition of free to play. If you want to argue that "they could have released caucasus as paid DLC", then fair enough, but the original point still stands in that case. It's 2016 and they need the base package to be as appealing as possible. You can't do that with 10-year old map.

Really grasping at straws here... I'm pretty sure he simply forgot the comma. ;)

Spit, Nevada update, Normandy.

Cool.

Normally you can use your bonus to save only up to 30% if I remember correctly, so now it's 60% assuming you have that much bonus in your account.

Have a look at the pilotedge FB page, they have a few posts about DCS with some info in comments. I think that's all there is at the moment.

I think that the US roundel (on the right wing) would be visible on this photo if it was there, even though it's small resolution and a weird angle: And if it's not on the lower right, it's not on the upper left either. I don't know about any other stuff on the upper side though.

Looks like we've got a lot of spam accounts lately here, actually multiple ones every day. I'm not sure if that's possible with vbulletin forums, but what about another layer besides human verification (which is useless if it's not bots but actual people) like this: Make a new group for users with postcount lesser than 10. Prohibit such users from posting (external) links or placing them into the signature. I guess they could still post, but at least they won't place any active malicious links. Or does someone have a better idea?

Thank you ED for the contest :beer:

Here is the full sized photo:

You have to define every custom texture you want to stick on the model. If you don't know the material name of the part you're painting, use this tool first. Then it'll go like: {"materialname", 0 ,"texturename",false};

It does in standalone one though.

There's only one TGP, Sniper. The other one is AN/AAQ-13 navigation pod with FLIR and terrain following radar. More info here: http://www.f-15e.info/joomla/en/technology/avionics/67-lantirn-pods http://www.f-15e.info/joomla/en/technology/avionics/73-sniper-xr-pod
