Just send my cheque in the post ;)

April fools day unfortunately.

Looking forward to being a back seater during one of your routines Pman! This would make an awesome airshow demo if you attached an oculus rift and recorded the mission track + team speak audio...

But it has less glide range than maybe even the paveway ll when it should have nearly twice as much...

What I'm saying is couldn't the Mk82 AFM just be tweaked to approximate a GBU-38? As it is currently, the JDAM's are massively hampered by their terrible performance. Even adjusting the terminal velocity of the GBU-38's SFM to 500 knots would be a satisfactory fix from my point of view. Just found this quote by Yo-Yo in another thread that has confused me even more... This is a quote from another source: "Compared to the primitive analogue guidance in a baseline Paveway II, the JDAM achieves close to twice the glide range under similar launch conditions." This is certainly not true for DCS, where trying to use a JDAM as a standoff weapon is tantamount to suicide.

Aww, I was really hoping for multi crew. Been excited about that since DCS Huey was announced and said to be including it in a future release.

+1 I've been guilty of some rash remarks as well but this is a solid point. Thanks for saving the MiG-21 Leatherneck.

Go straight to flash because you need the APU running to power the lights in the first place. You should also do the briefing before you're in the pit really. These should help you out a lot: http://www.476vfightergroup.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=29

No, that doesn't look like the same issue I'm having. It's specific to water and the hud. I'm assuming it's something to do with shaders. Hopefully EDGE will fix it.

I think officially it's two, but we won't be seeing any news on the DCS hornet until at least summer according to Wags. As for Cortex, that's anyone's guess.

Isn't it update o clock yet? Must have been a month or so since we had any news on the EDGE front...

've noticed long, parallel shading lines over water that change direction depending on where you're looking. This is with a GTX 770, water and all other settings at high. Didn't get a screenshot but have seen it several times since updating. I have also experienced a bright purple/red flash very occasionally on the HUD in several aircraft since updating drivers.

Looking forward to the new F-15 AFM! Over a year in the making now, must be good...

And you can't get any more realistic than that! The flashing lights say "look out, I'm here and I'm either about to start up or my engines are already running" and the strobes and landing light let other aircraft know you're on the runway.

In the 476th we do: Before startup: position lights - flash Taxi: Taxi light on if dark, pilot discretion during day Entering runway: landing light on, anti collision on, position lights steady. Night: formation lights on at startup and throughout I also do a bit of general aviation flying and follow very similar procedures. In general, the landing light and strobes only go on when entering the runway.

After trawling through the bugs section it has become apparent that a lot of 'bugs' aren't actually bugs at all. When it has been established that someone is "doing it wrong" it might be an idea to move the post to an appropriate section. It could also funtion as a tutorial section for others who might be having the same problem. Thoughts?

No no no no no!!!

Great news! At last, something to get excited about.

I heard they lost it all and had to start over again... :music_whistling:

Jeez... Let them at least finish Nevada first. Then in another decade we might get something else.

Refresh rate is closely related to FPS. 75Hz just means the screen can display a maximum of 75fps. If you have a 120Hz screen at 60fps, you wouldn't see a difference between it and a 60Hz screen. Low persistence is the ability to illuminate a pixel for less than the duration of the entire frame to eliminate smear. Check this out for a much more detailed description: http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/abrash/down-the-vr-rabbit-hole-fixing-judder/

That's what the mute button is for! (Sorry Rudel!) :P

That's an FSX screenshot though... Hopefully the DCS version will look as good.

Does anyone do anything when they say they will anymore?

In my opinion an I7-4770k and 16gb of ram is overkill. Even my old 2500k and 8gb of ram gets a locked 60 fps most of the time. You'd be much better off getting an i5 and 8gb of ram and spending the money you saved on a better graphics card. I doubt EDGE will make use of hyper threading or more than 8gb of ram but it will support DX11 and higher quality graphics. For video editing though, the i7 and extra ram might be useful.
