Very nice cichlidfan. The larger computer displays I see advertised are usually 32" or 33". That must be a real beauty!

I have no idea about that particular TV, but I'm using a 40" 4k Samsung and I love it. Even if I disregarded price, computer displays are too small so that I feel the need to sit at an unhealthy distance. The first 4k TV I tried did have a lot of blur for a flight sim. This one is much better. I get 60hz with a 1070 and an HDMI cable. The TV is supposed to be 120hz capable, but I don't know if a display port adapter would get me past 60hz. Be scrupulous about dead pixels. Newegg has a policy where up to 4 dead pixels is OK and cannot be returned. I returned two displays that had dead pixels near the middle of the screen. The third one still has a couple dead pixels, but they are in the upper left corner of the screen where I never notice them. These entry-level 4k TVs just don't have the quality control that you would expect from a computer display (costco had a members-only-online promotion where I gott this Samsung for $290 american).

I love this:

Let me be nitpicky and point out three small counterexamples.:P ECM prevents the Mig-29S from launching multiple R-77 against separate targets with TWS. ECM can cause ghosts to appear on the Mirage's display, even after burn through range. In the Mig-21, once you filter out ECM, you can no longer adjust the range-to-target on the radar scope.

Thank you. I'm glad it will no longer feel like grandpa's Buick.:thumbup:

Thanks. The news didn't say that:

1.5.6 won't update with today's patch. Tried the automatic way, then tried the manual method. Neither work.:huh:

Evidence or source for this? I never had trouble with my old AMD gpu. P.S. ATI hasn't existed for a very long time.;)

Maybe you don't have a choice, but that is pretty short notice! A lot of people are going to miss it.

Great! I have enjoyed the single player version and will definitely give this a try, too.

F-15 is better at the radar game and the IR game, so you're at a disadvantage either way.;) With the radar and R3R you could engage a target you could not yet see, or which was not bore-sighted. Current R3R is indeed only good against slow, large targets.

Sorry, there is no one realistic setting when there are dozens of different display sizes and resolutions.

This news made up my mind on the Ryzen 5. http://www.legitreviews.com/amd-ryzen-5-cores-are-disabled-in-symmetrical-pairs_192827 I would like to meet the person who made this decision for AMD. Intel should hire him as their next spokesperson.:doh:

Some said we should wait and see if 2.0 and impostor-scaling would offer improvements. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=140014&page=16 ED tried impostor-scaling and, in my opinion, it looked pretty bad. The enlarged sprites would blink in and out of existence at some angles. VR users seemed to appreciate them, though, and I accept their usefulness to accommodate new hardware. Where things went really wrong was when servers were allowed to force clients into using a specific impostor-scaling setting. Giant, cartoon airplanes floating around in the distance became a common sight because servers were forcing large impostors (why???). If a new solution is introduced some day, I hope that paranoia over gaming-advantage does not force everyone into using the same setting in multiplayer again. We have thousands of different hardware configurations, and a little bit of wiggle room in how to represent aircraft visibility is a good thing.

Here, I made a quick track if anyone is having trouble with the instant action dogfight mission. Note that I could not see the F-4 for the first 30 seconds because of the visibility problem in DCS.:doh: Mig21vsF4.zip

Scissors variations work well, either flat or vertical. I don't think you'll beat the AI with a rolling scissors because the AI can maneuver below its stall speed. Once you get the bandit in front it is tempting to try to point your nose at him right away. Instead, keep the bandit on a fixed point along your lift vector, and work him closer to your nose inch by inch, aka lag pursuit. They must have been flying the Mig-21 we had a year ago.;)

Since they changed the Mig-21 FM dogfighting the AI F-4 is very tough. It used to be pretty simple to just out-turn the F-4, but now they are very comparable in turn rate. The AI starts with a better energy state, so you have to be creative. Have you tried forcing an overshoot?

You don't have to be a VR user to find it extremely difficult to spot aircraft in DCS compared to other flight sims. It's also easy to lose sight of aircraft when you have already sighted them. You cannot see and track what is not drawn on your display.

That is a big "probably." More than a few military pilots and engineers over there... We shouldn't view these FM criticisms in a confrontational way, or react defensively. Based on the renewed activity in the bug tracker forum, Magnitude 3 is hard at work on improving the Mig-21 as we speak, and we are all cheering for their success.:thumbup:

It sounds like FBW may not appeal to him for flight simulation. The Mirage 2000C is an excellent module and its developers get an A+ for communication in their forum. You won't be disappointed.:thumbup:

So many posts about whether or not it works for this person or that person, but the initial suspicion that it was a starforce problem seems confirmed: So, if it doesn't work for you, it wasn't your fault and it never was your fault. And if it does work for you, you were just lucky. I wonder how many user-hours and ED-hours have been sucked away by this bug that had nothing to do with ED and nothing to do with the users' systems?:doh:

To me the whole point of the clickable cockpit is that it is not all on the HOTAS. The Mig-21 pilot has to remove his hand from the throttle or stick to adjust the landing/taxi lights.:)

Different engine performance at altitude, too. The 190F was tuned for low altitude performance.

190A and 190F would be different planes with different flight models, wouldn't they?

Good choice Reflected. I don't think you need a mod for the English language cockpit. There's an option for that in the settings. Don't mess around with the campaign that comes with the module. I found it pretty bizarre because you're flying the Mig-21 alongside western fighters like the F-15 against other Mig-21s. Instead, look up the Guardians of the Caucasus campaign from mbot. Good luck!
