Rangi

Great skins, takes me back to airshows and model building as a kid. One small suggestion. Seeing as though you are taking a bit of artistic licence already with the mirage version, perhaps you could use a little more and move the roundel out of the shade.

It would certainly be better than the nothing we have now. I do trust ED to do it properly, whichever way they end up going. Just a matter of making like a hospital (plenty patients).....

Where does the flame come from in the above pic? Is it just friction?

Probably? What else have you played that is even in the same league?

Life is a dice game, well according to Luke Rhinehart...

I am not near my gaming rig now, but it should be easy to get an in-game shot from the same angle and zoom with an AI F-5E.

It's not the view rendering, the bubble is the AI calculations. In the other sim, units that contact each other outside the bubble don't really fight, the engagements are just a calculation/roll of the dice. I have seen Wags say a few times (years ago now) that ED don't want to go that way. I am hoping that after the poll, ED may put someone on to start seriously tackling a DC module, although even if they start now it will still be a few years before we hear about it, let alone get to use it.

It's still way better value to buy from 3D printing companys as they have much better machines than you can get for 10k (plus maintenance and materials).

There has been no official word on the variants, but with pics of AV8B cockpit and Gr9 external(Razbam FB page), I assume we will get both at some stage. Most likely GR first.

CAP is hanging around in an area waiting for bogeys, a sweep is going out looking for trouble. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_air_patrol https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-air_patrol

I agree, 1.5 worked much better on my core 2 duo system than 1.2.. Then I upgraded anyway....

Good point.

Try Depth of field off, not simple.

I assume they are going to do both at some stage, the outside renders are GR9, with 4 hardpoints on each wing and then the cockpit is Av-8b. Maybe a frankenharrier....

Although I am sure we will get some pretty over the top reactions here when Leatherneck releases their F-14 beta. I'm surprised no one has jumped on the 'exploding' fuel tanks yet. https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/fleet-wide-f-35-fix-targets-fuel-tank-over-pressuris-420812/

Yes it's definitely dynamic. There are a few good old threads that try and explain it, but most of them are a bit technical for me so I just use trial and error. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=69481&page=11

Welcome to the forums. Try turning off DOF, depth of field, in the options. No need for the threats of not buying, we will try to help you if just ask polite questions.

400m = 1312ft and 500m = 1640ft

I vaugley remember similar hatred for most of the 4th gen fighters when they were in development. Although there wasn't an internet back then so not so many loud, uninformed voices. Sure the F-35 is ridiculously expensive and has had plenty of teething problems, but I am sure most will be fixed or worked around once we give LM enough cash.

Great setup, that will run DCS, smooth as silk. I assume you are going to get one of the VR headsets? If not that's a pretty small monitor for such a powerful rig. Maybe my eyes are getting too old, but it would be too small for me. Edit - I just reread the pages and yes you are planning VR so disregard. My eyes are definitely in need of some help....

Win 10 is fine, I preferred 7 but once you get used to it 10 just as good. I went for 10 mainly because 7 will become obsolete in a few years so the sooner I start learning 10 the better. Although it also has some problems the warthog is one of the best available at the moment. If money was no object (which it is at the moment unfortunately) I would buy a vkb fat black mamba (very limited supply), a warthog throttle (not sure if you can buy separately), and some MFG crosswind rudder pedals. I use a warthog stick and a G940 moded throttle and rudders, the warthog is good with an extension the throttle is good once moded, but the pedals drive me crazy.

Ok then, thanks for letting us know.

+1 There was another thread about this just after 1.5 was released. I also hijacked that thread to add my personal wish for a one click solution to deactivating all modules. Whoops I did it again......

People can try and I think most do try to be objective. However it's very hard to overcome confirmation bias unless you are very diligent and always open to being wrong.
