Clean install of Win 10 was a good idea. No need to download DCS. You can just copy and paste as many DCS installs around your pc as you like if you have the space. I have a backup on external drives. Just copy and paste - redo links from the bin folder. Clean and repair is always good after a copy to make it "new again" and clean out the metashaders and FXO folders under the saved games folder every update.

Late update. Also make sure you change the map to precision format DD/MM/SS.SS Coordinate options cycled with LALT+Y from the F10 map.

Are you talking about user snap views LWin+NumX or Hold Num0 + Num1 to 9 These can be customized. See this thread Custom outside view? Not sure about that one? Guess you might if you can find the default f4 view lua file and change it's default start position x,y,z and rotation. Proper camera controls and a save would be nice.... Would make YouTube vids much easier / quicker. Thread to look at.

Hi Kotb-MO, Not so many hoops to jump through to get going here. Just the maps are not as big as that other sim, lots of detail tho all the way to ground combat. Just setup a store account when purchasing the F/A-18, this name and password is the same you use when launching DCS. You then just go to the module manager and it will ask to download anything you have purchased. Think your good at the F/A-18 and or like to get better at it when under a little real pressure? Don't want to fly alone? All you need is the Free install and F/A-18, DDCS also uses the Free Su-25t and TF-51. So you can get started with DCS and or online play for zero cost. Dynamic war including PVP ground war using the CA module. Optional for ground war and GCI. Dynamic DCS Live real time web map

DDCS server has a little of this now. You get points per hour/ cost per load out when taking off. Get them back when you land. Loose enough points and you have to wait for points. Or do some ground unit slinging to burn time etc. It's not to that level, but even DDCS turns away the quake guy's. Good in away I guess.

Great old post by IvanK about the trim. Have a good play around with her first, then read up to understand what exactly is going on. Reminds me. I've been meaning to do a real Sim world video on this trimming thing, just to show case exactly what the Shark is capable of in MP, including sling loading etc.

Read / go through the read me on GitHUB https://github.com/Santi871/DCSWaypointEditor/blob/master/README.md Make sure you have installed Google Tesseract (character recognition engine). It needs this to work.

It will take some time to settle and mature on a project like this, that's this big. It's not exactly drag and drop programming here, bit of trial and error when working on new technologies. So my guess there will be no time frame to when all these systems are said to be "completely stable" and working together nicely and optimized. Especially when more things are still being added. Things may need to be changed and some redone to work better.

Mover just released a cool F-5 FAM vid

The base install with Caucasus map and 2 free aircraft is 60 GB. Stable and Beta This is then linked to your account and depending purchases and the ones you install is how big the full install is, Beta or stable. Persian Gulf map is 32 GB on it's own for an example. I'm up to 170 GB with all the maps and most of the modules.

I'm hoping CA gets some work done to it soon hopefully too. The points you pointed out I would class as the top priority for MP and offline CA game play. 1) Vehicles getting stuck. Most of the times you have to enter each vehicle and drive them manually. 2) Flags are seen by your opponents online when switching out of TAC command etc. 3) Vehicles getting stuck inside buildings and Ai are unable to get them out. You also need to drive them manually to force them out. This is also used as an exploit to hide vehicles. (Tanks still shoot from in the buildings)

" It will never not ask to update to 3.5.5" ? Latest Open Beta Hotfix 2.5.5.33184 How much drive space do you have...? The large downloads are compressed and need to expand when finished. The down loader should start off where it left off if interrupted. It has for me in the past. Have you tried a clean and repair? https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/709/

Yes, wow...! Like really wow... Is that just made up for fun? (As in laugh. I do hope so..) Your do you learn and believe this stuff from books? Which books?Again wow, if made up for fun or really believe.... :cry:

Need a height option lol? Look at the difference here.... It's hard if trying to align the body at x height, I duck a little and reset. Then sit back up.

I use a second monitor for PDF's, some use a tablet to put the PDF's on. Or you can Alt tab out as seen here. Me too!

Haven't seen the track... If practicing landing at an airfield put an object around the start of the runway that represents the deck. There are cones also that you can place on or near the runway for touch and goes. Hopefully we will get airfield lights at some point. The big thing is to not break abeam like you do at the boat. Because the airfield is not moving away at 30 knots. So you go downwind further to give yourself the groove length. The angled deck is another thing that can only be learnt at the boat. Also the wind can be offset when practicing at an airfield, as you cannot turn the runway into the wind.

It would be nice to have an RWR. The server I play on. It seems the Ka-50 is easily seen by opposition GCI (With Fog of war on) AWACS, SAMS, Aircraft etc. F-15 sees everything. Will test the "flying slower" to see if it helps detection online. We have GCI most of the time that helps with knowing when aircraft could be targeting us. (Hide) Will be nice to have a real weapon to shoot back now. So many kills I could have gotten in the Ka-50..... (Aircraft trying to strafe us) Good to fly with the Gazelle if available. Gazelle/missile/RWR is a monster online when combined with GCI. Should be fun when we also have igla missiles. The Ka-50 does update targets on the Abris now in MP. It seems to update AAA Anti-aircraft ground target positions from what I have seen.

FOV thing? Set at a realistic looking 70ish monitor FOV it looks good/correct size.

Hi Django, Should ask down in the Input and Output » Home Cockpits section Someone there perhaps knows more about these screens.

I just upgraded from 16GB 3466 mhz ram (2 x 8GB) To 32GB 3000 mhz (2 x 16GB) See no real difference in performance, more stable in large MP servers. Many have said not to mix ram sticks. They are tested in packs. Also, some have said it's better to go 2 x sticks (pair), then 4 x sticks. Not sure what's the best ram for AMD tho, someone here will know. EDIT: Check your prices here, this is where I get my parts in Aus. https://www.msy.com.au/waonline/243-desktop-ram?orderby=price&orderway=desc

Google is your friend lol. https://community.viveport.com/t5/Technical-Support/How-to-disable-OVRservice-Oculus-from-running/td-p/7268

I do find it interesting that the aircraft seems to hit the numbers here. The drag factors for ordnance are in the natops, so could also be tested, perhaps some are out a little here and there. The ITT is out and is out in the flight manual. We don't know why it is with the installed engines this way? Would this include giving the engines more rated power with the higher ITT and fuel flow....? Possibly yes. Like Yo-Yo has stated. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2868802&postcount=117 "What is the thrust in the DCS - 8900 or 9065 lb" I wopuld like to mention that 9065/8900 = 1.019, i.e. the discussed difference is less than 2%, so, for example the difference in max speed for these two numbers is less than 1%...." Why do the engines do this? Why was this allowed? How much more power do they have when installed? Yo-Yo only has the documents that he has to go off to set these engines up to. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2868806&postcount=118 Does the real A-10 aircraft out outperform the specs and performance graphs? Possibly yes. Tho I would think if out so much that some things would have been corrected in those documents, unless deemed insignificant. To me you would need the engineers report to know how and why you see what you see in the cockpit and know how much more power this generates compared to rated thrust 8900 or 9065 lb. ED would than be able to model in what exactly is happening to the engines once installed.

I still love reading the "I saw this video thing" lol. Doesn't feel right and accelerate from 260kt like in this video. So many of you basically think the natops / available information is all false and ED should have just guessed at and played with to suit a pilot for DCS. Thanks bbrz for doing some real testing. Even if all the documents and graphs must be wrong.

Hopefully one day..... it will be mostly GPU. Any half decent CPU will do the job well.
