In my opinion ALL aircraft should have a Flamming cliffs equivalent simply to be able to fly all the modules we own. All too often I avoid flying most of what I own because I simply have forgotten how to fly the damn thing. With flamming cliffs AC, I don't have this problem as I can map all the controls the same way on my hotas.

I don't believe that the devs have adjusted the missions for the new engine... they are what they were prior to 2.5.It makes a huge difference in the dynamics of the game play in those missions.

I asked tech support the question reguarding how black shark was going to integrate with 2.5 and they sent me a totally new key so I don't need both installed. make note I didn't 'request' a key...they simply sent me one for even asking about it. So ask them about it on their website (under the support tab)and maybe they will do the same for you as well.

I checked ...only control mapped to joy button 1 is fire weapon. It only does it when rockets are selected, could it be a feature of some sort??I'm gonna see if it does the same thing in 1.58 to compare. I've never see this before. edit...yup...does it in 158 as well. Anyone else see this or can explain why? edit also noticed it does it with abris Off (not in map mode)

When pressing fire button the Black Shark would pitch upward as if it was a collective input even though the safety was on and no weapons were fired. Also on a different mission launch I had a blank abris and weapon camera.

Strange sea colors while flying black shark in instant action

Working as it should in instant action today

Do FC level aircraft so we'd be able to have them flyable, develop them further if possible with the option to upgrade them to full fidelity. Too simple. Also focus on timeline appropriate theatres.

dude...a previous poster verified that the gazelle is a fps hog...I concur...As its about a 20% difference in my case as compared to other products. Its not just me.

I realize that, but the point is all modules should be equal, and I see they are not comparing old to newer ones...BUT the newer ones still have a standard and should be equal to EACH OTHER.As it stands, we risk buying a product that doesn't work well all the while holding our workable/usable purchases as a benchmark. Like I said, 15 workable/usable aircraft vs 1 not so much. The gazelle has an issue compared to other modules. Like a 20% performance issue. If the performance was equal to the other 15 aircraft we wouldn't be having this conversation. If my computer specs were so below your standards...then why do I not have the issues with my 15 other aircraft??..actually its more then 15 Aircraft as flaming cliffs has mulitiple AC.

The comparison test is new vs new(mirage vs gazelle) the argument posted above was saying it was a difference between old vs new(older dcs ie blackshark vs new ie gazelle).Is what my point is.

I just went in and did some tests...open ocean, same horizon. Gazelle vs mirage (both new modules in comparison to older DCS) gazelle is 62FPS,mirage is 86...that's a 20 plus frame difference. So the old vs new module argument doesn't hold water.

I know how to tweak the system , been doing it for as long as I've owned DCS.I could knock a lot of settings down but I shouldn't have too. A Better question I think would be why is the gazelle such a FPS hog as compared to the 16 other aircraft I own??

Well its kinda silly to go out and spend 100$ for ram and another 200-300 for a graphics card for the sake of 1 aircraft. Thats just crazy. But if what your saying is the way of things to come in the future...then maybe Eagle Dynamics should be holding the 3rd parties to a better standard ,...one that is closer to their flagship products.The ones that work well...

The situation was 4 enemy armor btr's out of sight about 30km away and 2 helo's,the gazelle and the shark on the map,that shouldn't be any sort of stress on any system considering that taking off from the runway in a black shark is 35-40 fps and the same runway is 10-15 in a gazelle in the same mission.Not to mention it dropping to 6 when the camera came on. Plain and simple is that the shark can be flown without issue where as the gazelle in most cases is not playable in comparison. That shouldn't be.

I WROTE in bug report thread.... Master arm switch ON/OFF button doesn't stay in on position when mapped to joystick. I use a modifier plus joystick button combo to enable this function but it immediately returns to the off position when released. I have the exact same button setup on the black shark which works as it should. The same thing happens with the Master on/off(autopilot) switch, (the one that lights up on the panel). However the master autopilot switch on the stick(why are there two autopilot masters btw?) works and stays on in its selected position. NOTE...both these buttons work as they should when using a mouse click to operate them. which is really strange. THE REPLY... There are various mappings in the Gaz. If you map that control to a DX on/off toggle switch it will work fine. i.e. If the DX is ON the switch is ON, OFF it's off - if that makes sense. If you have TMWH put it on a toggle switch. A momentary DX switch such as found on many joysticks, TM MFD's and some button boxes will only activate the swtich when ON ie pressed. The keyboard command works as a toggle on/off so workarounds can include TARGET or any other software that maps keyboard commands such as found on some keyboards, mice, or Joy2Key AutoHotkey etc...

2 crashes back to back Firing on a BTR 80 using missiles crashed the game twice in a row same parameters (roughly) ...I will change it to another enemy armor vehicle to see what happens and report back.(1.57 version) edit: changed 1 btr to a t-55...killed it no problem. will change it back to a btr group and repeat test. edit: changed it back to a 4 platoon group of BTR...engaged 3 of 4 no problems. What can I say. However ,I didn't engage the leader of the group as I did in the first two missions that crashed(possible reason for crash?)

I worked around it by doing what you suggested...but if that's the case they need to add a master arm button that is a single button push just like all the other buttons. IMO its a bug not a feature in this case.

That's bull...if I can fly all other aircraft that I own comfortably (I own all of them except for 3 aircraft and a terrain) with the settings I have...then there is an issue with the gazelle , not my computer.And what it this issue you speak of?

FPS is half of what I get in the black shark ,making it pretty much unplayable.30-35 in the shark pit 15-10 in the gazelle. This is without the camera on. Turn the camera on and it can drop to 6!!! This should not be happening IMO and needs to have some optimizing. Not too impressed with this recent purchase.If I could return it and get my money back...I would. I don't know if the 1.57 has anything to do with it, as I just got the helo 2 days ago. Are the DEV's aware of this performance drop and are they going to address it?

module manager is broken,does not recognize that I own the mig 15.Its missing from the list even after a refresh. How do I get it back? Never had trouble with this before. Binding date is 29-05-2015,way before the steam restriction.how do I download it ? never mind updated to 157 and it appeared...weird.

figured it out...had to load profiles from the interface. Never had to do it before ,dunno why?

Something just isn't right.For over a year now I have been able to simply paste over my DCS folder in game saves in order to preserve my setting for both gameplay and controls.Now it only perserves my game settings.This makes no sense???If it perserves one aspect of the config,it should perserve them all.Whats going on here??? Now I have too programs my controls for 10 aircraft which I have never had to do before.

why no 157 update available after announcement??? Yet you can buy a campaign that requires it?? :huh:
