[SSD for DCS]

I changed my order to a 128 gig.

 

This is my old system:

 

Dell Insperon 545

Intel 5400 dual core

6 gig ram

nvidia gt 430

 

This will be my new system:

 

CAS: CFI Boreallight Full-Tower Gaming Case w/ 1x 140 & 2x 120mm Fans, Front USB 3.0, HDD Easy Swap Bays & Side-Panel Window

CD: LG 12X Internal Blu-ray Drive & DVDRW, 3D Playback Combo Drive (BLACK COLOR)

CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-4670K 3.40 GHz 6MB Intel Smart Cache LGA1150 (All Venom OC Certified)

OVERCLOCK: Extreme OC (Extreme Overclock 20% or more)

SSD: 128GB Corsair Force GS Series SATA-III 6.0Gb/s SSD - 560MB/s Read & 535MB/s Write

CS_FAN: Maximum 120MM Case Cooling Fans for your selected case

FAN: Asetek 550LC Liquid Cooling System 120MM Radiator & Fan (Advanced Cooling Performance + Extreme Silent at 20dBA) (Dual Enermax Enlobal Silent High Performance 120MM Fans (Push-Pull)

MEMORY: 16GB (8GBx2) DDR3/2133MHz Dual Channel Memory (Corsair or Major Brand)

MOTHERBOARD: * [CrossFireX/SLI] GIGABYTE Z87X-D3H Intel Z87 Chipset DDR3 ATX Mainboard w/ Ultra Durable 5 Plus, On/Off Charge 2, 7.1 HD Audio, Intel GbLAN, 3x PCIe x16 (2 Gen3, 1 Gen2), 3 PCIe x1 & 1

OS: Microsoft® Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit Edition)

POWERSUPPLY: 850 Watts - Thermaltake Smart Series SP-850M 80 Plus Bronze Modular Power Supply

SOUND: HIGH DEFINITION ON-BOARD 7.1 AUDIO

VIDEO: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 4GB 16X PCIe 3.0 Video Card

 

I think this should be a major upgrade, no more 10 FPS in multiplayer.

[SSD for DCS]

How large of a SSD would be needed for DCS alone? With all modules. I have a empty 64 gig, would that be large enough?

[Problem since DCS 1.2.6 update]

The auto start in the KA 50 will not turn the flare panel on. You need to use the switch.

[What kind of maneuvers should I learn?]

By the way:

Am i the only guy dropping the landing gear when I am hunting around 5m altitude?

I found it saves my shkval at least one time when I miss judge anything.

 

 

Yes, I also fly with my gear down when doing a low and slow SEAD opp and when I am avoiding the CAP in the canyons. When you bump the ground you will limit damage. It also helps to avoid the F15's and other fighters because you can hide, land and shutdown faster.

 

Fly until you can maneuver the Shark without thinking about it, it will become automatic. This is very important because you will have many other things to attend to.

[New Black Shark Pilots]

Welcome New Pilots

 

With all of the new players from steam and new people discovering DCS I think some of us that have been flying for a few years should do what we can to help new people. New players need to understand that a crowded multiplayer server is not a good place to learn basic operation of your aircraft. Typing and flying do not mix, especially in an airspace full of bandits.

 

I have been flying the Shark for a few years, I am by no means an expert, but I would like to help new people and give them some tips that I have learned over the past few years. I will set up a private server and we can practice.

 

You must have Teamspeak and a configured HOTAS, a printed copy of the key commands and TrackIR would also help.

 

I am disabled and would be available almost anytime. I am in the US Central time Zone

 

Send me an email and we can set up a time to fly

[Situational awareness.]

In referance to the confermed kills.

I fly the KA 50, I like to attack airports, some times I will hit a jet with a few cannon rounds and they get away. Later they will be downed by another jet, and I will get the kill.

Seems strange to me

[New System]

Would this be better than the first system? Upgrade case,mobo,and power. Had to get rid of the SSD and lower RAM to save $. I want the 4gig 760 for multi monitor. This still should be upgradeable and a large improvement from my current PC.
