gunsight settings for different airplanes would be wicked.

yeah, bring back shareware, let all the planes in DCS have TF-51 type versions or something, no pylons at all, no smoke, nothing. so people'd have to buy them even for aerobatics shows. though, I pretty much buy everything anyways, they are all pretty good.

yes, check out my youtube channel, mainly fly the mig-21 online, but there's a few mirage kills in there too.... mostly I fly up to 12,000-14,000 meters, above contrail level, and then point my radar way down, though sometimes I fly it like the mig-21 or mig-29 too. the mirage is actually really good on fuel up high.

it's about having that safety buffer there... it's like saying "my car has no airbags and i've never broken my skull on my steering wheel" then that murphy guy comes around and you get hurt because your car doesn't have airbags... and 2 things are sad... people buying locked multiplier cpus for gaming(it's fine if you don't game), and people buying K's, and then not overclocking them to at least 4000mhz, when they can so easily achieve that with a cheap 30$ aftermarket cooler

You do know that modern PCs, aka machines from the 1980s onwards, even IDE, can have multiple drives? Today, people usually have an SSD for programs, and an HDD for storage, if you're being honest, you'd have an SSD for a scratch/working drive too, 2 ssds and an HDD...

Dcs loads stuff in while you're playing, not just before you play, and even ssds aren't that fast compared to system ram, so micro-studders can still happen, especially on servers with many types of air and ground units spawned in all over the map at the same time. HDDs just aren't fast enough for those situations, unless you enjoy screen freezes and people getting angry at you for warping all over the place, and weather intentionally or not, cheating to avoid getting killed.

the GTX 770 is VR capable, for things like watching 3d movies and playing games that look like they were made 15 years ago... and is 4k capable in the sense that it can drive a 4k display, but it's WAY too slow to run any modern games at a decent framerate at that res. and it's not 5 fps difference between a 200$ and a 500$ videocard, it's more like 40 fps difference with the same graphics settings. unfortunate fact of life, a GTX780 is around 40% slower than a 980ti, a GTX770 is like 30% slower than a 780... the 970 and 780 are basically the same speed... in other words... where I get 60 fps with my graphics settings, someone with a 770 would only get 40 fps, if that, assuming the game only uses 2gb or less vram... I'd spend another year saving my pennies and just go buy one that'll last, rather than half-assing it and buying a low-end card now. actually that's what I am doing, I've been saving up since last august, already have about 2400$ saved up for a new machine, my current one is 4 years old, and I want my next machine to last as long or longer. nvidia and ati are both starting to show off new tech, there's finally, after 4 years of stale stagnant absolutely nothing new (more accurately nothing leaps faster) videocards, going to be some stuff actually worth spending money on, hopefully later this year.

our noise cancelling headphones now cancel 50% more noise... still stereo... yay for more "audio enhancer" software... man it's too bad that EAX and the like don't work anymore... hardware accelerated spatial audio in games rocks. so far the best 3d audio i've had is just hooking up 4 of the same speakers around me, and a smaller speaker in front, and I just used an old computer surround setup subwoofer... as for headsets, I own a 5.1 setup with 3 speakers in each ear, it works, but the distance between the channels is so small, you don't get a true sense of direction, to the point where you could just reach back without looking, and grab whatever's behind you... just that there is something behind or beside you...

I had that problem with my pedals too, turns out the pivot thing sliced right through one of the wires, so I just spliced on a new piece and soldered it, then hot glued the wire where it won't get run over again.

so then, basically, if the missile is launched more than 18km away, it's practically unguided? running in a straight line except for a periodic update in while SARH mode? meaning, while the missile is more than 18KM away from its target, the F-14 needs to maintain a radar lock?

sounds like a conflict, have you made sure you have no axis or other buttons than the ones you want bound? like... i use the top thumb axis on my throttle for scanzone up/down, so I removed all other ways except that rotary, so the scan zone can't be changed by accident.

intel CPUs don't generate a lot of heat, generally, as long as you don't up the voltage, you can just keep upping the clock till it BSOD's running prime95 for a few hours. really you only need to worry about heat if you start screwing with voltages.

780 Is fine for 1440p, it's what I use.

RAM is cheap, might as well get 32gb, and dcs will look much better and run fine at 1440p. The extra resolution at 4k doesn't make up for how much you need to turn the graphics settings down, unless you're running two 980tis in sli.

no RATO or 800L fuel tank either, the extra 310L fuel is a decent amount of time out there we're missing out on.

Or... someone comes out with an API that's so much better than DirectX that nobody in their right mind would continue using it. DX games are the only reason I don't use linux. if the games and software people use in windows, especially games, could be used in linux, then more people would use it definitely, and it could even replace windows at this point, but nobody wants to make that kind of software for linux because nobody uses it. sooo... more software and games for linux that don't require you know c++ and python = more people using it... less people using linux = nobody making that kind of software. it's like that microsoft thing RYMH3qrHFEM

higher CPU frequency is not the only indication of single-threaded performance, also instructions per clock... AKA IPC...

yeah, you think maybe they could just call it what it is, oversampling... analog anti-aliasing... it's like... when you're in photography, you work with the raw image that's like hundreds of megabytes, and after you've edited it, you compress it... DSR is just the monitor doing the compressing rather than photoshop.

better add that it's the 2500"K" and 2600"K" not just 2500/2600 locked cpus aren't that great, the IPC on the sandys is 5-10% less than on the newer ones... AKA a sandy at 4.5ghz is more like a 4.3ghz skylake. the sandy will also use a lot more power to run at that frequency. that being said, if you have a sandy, there's really no logical reason to upgrade to a skylake, unless you want the new features of a new chipset or motherboard.

I find it funny that people can't even figure out what DCS stands for... Digital Combat Simulator emPHAsis on "Simulator"... the exact opposite is like... like going to world of warcraft and asking for realistic damage with swords and axes... there'd be body parts everywhere... and nobody'd be having a good time...

I was having problems with shadowplay the other day, had the green dot with a red line through it... but there was an update for GFE, so while I was in the middle of flying on 104th I updated it, every once in a while a new window would pop up while it was installing, and i'd be in the middle of a turn or a dive and it would happen... fortunately I didn't crash or anything, and the update did get shadowplay working again, without needing to restart dcs... with that short, but pointless story out of the way.... you can set shadowplay to just record the entire desktop, then you can run dcs how ever you want and it doesn't care. and no, it doesn't have a dcs profile.
