Voice Server UBI Ghost Recon Online is free to play and that has an amazing voice server!! Come to think about it just about everey team based game I have played lately has voice coms. No one likes being in a team based atmosphere without voice coms. Make al the excuses you want but any server worth plaing on has people talking and ill take good comuncation over player skill any day.

NONPROFIT DCS I am almost positive that ED sat down and had a serious meeting about how important this project was to the company even if it did not prove financially viable. LMFAO

Many games have a voice chat built in. Even if you dont have a mic you are connected to the voice server so at least you can hear important details.

Crickets are loud in a quiet room Great, now get you and everyone like you together and give me .25 cents and I can maybe get back $3 that I wasted on combined arms. Eventually you will start losing people in your squad to various reasons and interests and there will not be any one to replenish your ranks.

Doing My Part I have done everything I can do and had fun with the phoenix dedicated servers but when their TS went down it was worthless. nothing worse than idiots who can join a server running a game that has fairly high system requirements but not run TS cause they explain in type they do not have a microphone. WTF I have X52(custom Profile), G13, Triton Headset, 5 monitors (3 set to eyefinity 2 dedicated to a custom Helios profile) cockpit is displayed n a 32inch touchscreen, and an extremely high end desktop. I own a personal CNC machine and have every intention of designing a home SIM, I am finding it hard to dedicate the expense of building a sim for any aircraft in this game. Hate and troll all you want but my argument is valid. I just checked every public server and there is a combined 29 people logged in right now. I just droped more money on that Combined Arms and for what. I have seen 2 servers that make use of it? DCS is worried about making more clickable airvraft when they havent even finished making the GUI for the existing aircraft compete with industry standards. Why do we still have to edit lua code to export gauges and such. I can't even change from the A10-C to the KA-50 without doing massive file changes in both the options for my screen and in the program files to make helios function. Helios is a great program and Gadroc deserves more credit for it than DCS does for everything else they have done. DCS should include something like HELIOS, ffs we can't even change our game sounds without going damn near to the desktop. I can go on and on and on with issues that need to be prioritized over new aircraft and every one of those reasons represents a percentage of members that DCS discourages. This is exactly how I feel about DCS products, argue and turn your nose makes no difference. I am new to flight sims as of Jan 2013 and have put a fair amount of time towards learning everything I can. So, my view on this should carry some weight, I am not jaded or appreciative for the things that DCS does better than others. This is all I have seen and I am not impressed. Consider the demographics for a moment. First off they need a descent computer, interest in flight sims, enough knowledge to not be intimidated, expensive equipment like joysticks/g13 etc, knowledge of programming(must have to edit lua and extract), a shit ton of patients, be willing to hand over 40 bucks every time they turn around, and the time to invest in this very serious hobby.. I have seen and met a lot of people in my life but never have I met anyone in RL that flys home simulators.... The demographics are small enough without adressing issues by people who are willing to give it a go. They can't stay in business on just your dollar.... one last things you veterans have not had to deal with was almost an extremely big deal breaker for me. THIS FORUM, it is cluttered with old information from previous updates that have never been archived. It was nearly impossible to sort through it all just to makes sense of half the things needed to get started. Three fn days to find HELIOS, the website is down and you now need to go to gadrocs workshop to download it but with hundreds of links from 2009 still showing in the searches I thought it was discontinued. 2 weeks after I get Helios working properly they update DCS and the export.lua was moved and instead of playing I am trying to sort out the 1millionth problem!!!!

Why would I be interested in sinking any more cash into this if there is never anyone online to fly with and what servers that are available are a wierd mosh of air/air combat against a bunch of gigling girls or air/ground with server limitations that make a simpit useless.. Where is the dedicated DCS servers with serious TS3 voice chat.. Cause god knows DCS hasnt sorted out that voice communication is everything with teammates? Really disapointed, the first company to address these two issues will leave dcs in it's wake while thanking them for paving the way... (MORE MODS FOR MORE CASH WILL NOT KEEP THE COMMUNITY GROWING, ONLY KEEPS YOUR TROLLS FED)

StrongHarm In agreement with Viper. Also, try this for more precise slew control: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?...99&postcount=6 he asked how to configure the slew rate and this is your answer?

CHANGING SLEW RATE While on the MAV screen in the RMFCD you will notice that OSB button 8 is next to "slew 5.0" that is the default slew rate of the mavericks. Use the UFC (up front controller) on the top of the dash to enter a new slew rate like 2 into the scrtach pad. Then press OSB 8 to set the slew rate of 2 to your mavs and slow the amount they move around. (This will apply to all mavs equipped.) note.... If you are just slaving the mavs to your SPI and not using FC then I would increase it to 10. This is really handy for close combat situations and allows the mavs to track over and slave onto your TGP SPI almost instantly when you press and hold CHINA HAT DOWN(V KEY) as long as you are within gimble limits. Saves a second or two but take everything you can get when your Angel 10 Tango SAM.

OPEN SOURCE Why is this post stalled? All the information I have read here on these forums always stop at this crucial piece of information. To be honest with you I would much rather get my feet wet in other well established flight simulators where there is a history of solutions readily available. The fact that this community is so reluctant to share this knowledge leads me to believe that the game designers them selves couldn't care about growing the community any more than the current users. If there is troll tracks in the sand there is prolly a troll near by!!!

No, typically they do not come down with small arms fire. Impervious, NO. It can happen but these birds dominate. Large vehicle mounted weapons can and do penetrate when low flying in an IRL scenario.

A bit harsh I came to this sim to test one out for the first time before I started sinking money into them. Sad to hear that the free one does not allow me to test all the functionalities out. Seems to be a really small community and things don't really seem that organized anyway. I couldn't download the files from the ftp and had to torrent them, WTF! After 24 hours of messing with that I finally find a thread that relates to the SU-25 multi monitors and independent gauges and the very thing that made me so curious about them is unavailable without a modest fee. UBI just got through pulling that one on me!!! I am a little concerned with what might crawl out from under a rock so I think I will wait for the community to expand and mature a bit then maybe I will come back.
