Me too.

Helios does not use much resources. You can easily test by monitoring the frame rate in DCS with and without Helios active. I recommend tweaking and maybe upgrading the PC hardware instead of moving Helios on the laptop.

I have been doing VRS SB and the stock F18 with 5 screens using 4 computers for FSX with wideview (one 2560*1600 and 4 1920*1200). Lots of money and work but the FPS results were not that great. But the heat in summer made me consider a dedicated air con unit for the room :wallbash: Now I use only one of those computers driving 4 screens with DCS A-10C 64 bit under Win8 and I am much happier. DCS has a much better simulation engine IMHO. FSX is CPU limited, even with overclocking. Also the military simulation in DCS is so far ahead of anything currently in FSX that is not even worth talking about. I will wait for the Hornet in DCS, no problem. Or whatever will come. :beer:

Thank you guys. The data is definitely there because the speed brakes and the trim are fully modeled. But I guess it is not worth digging.

Hi Everybody, new guy here. I am an FSX "veteran", mostly F18C and the VRS F18E. I am very impressed about DCS and the A-10C that I just started learning. :thumbup: Being a programmer I like to tweak my sim and I have started in DCS with Helios, just some gauges on a 2nd monitor for now. I would like to add a speed brake position and the trim for pitch. Problem is that so far I could not find from where to read these. Also it seems that there is no indicator in the cockpit, which is a bit weird... The flight manual for A-10C keeps mentioning "speed brakes at 40%" but how do you do that without an indicator in the cockpit? So far I go by ear, the sound the speed brakes make :pilotfly: Any of the DCS/LUA wizards willing to help please? Happy Flying! :)
