Thanks for the update Cobra!

I just stick my cougars to my main screen with Blu Tack and display the MFCD's on the screen behind them. (I have taken off the stands to make them more flush) I did try them stuck to a separate 19 inch monitor but the performance hit of having 2 screens was just not worth it.

hum yes slight miscalculation on my part when I was writing my post I did 960 x 1080 per eye and multiplied both by 2 instead of just the horizontal resolution. Still DCS runs no where near 75 FPS when I am near City's or on busy missions on my current 1920x1080 display. There is talk of the consumer version having a higher resolution panel but I am a bit sceptical because they really want to keep the price down, probable in the second version of the consumer version they will up the resolution I think.

I want it so bad. Giveme giveme giveme. I not sure I can wait for the Consumer version. Only things stopping me is wider support for games I play. (not sure if DCS will natively support Oculas rift positional head tracking by July?) and has anyone reliably sorted out the view distortion needed? I also have no money as getting married in June!! I could order after as a wedding present but then might have to wait ages for availability. Not very confident my 5 year old Intel Q6600 and GeForce 560 Ti 1GB combo will run any games at 1920 x 2160 at 75 FPS!

Also make sure "flight director" is turned off or it will override turn on target.

Im using a Logitech G940 with a custom stick extension. you can beat a force feedback stick, especially when flying helicopters.

If it is a bug you can use simffb to get you force feedback back in action until ED fixes it.

Good news. I was worried the project was going to get cancelled and we would never get to flight this great project in DCS. I can understand why it is delayed, keep up the great work!

Unfortunately it is not in game but if you want to communicate in that way in MP with a group of people you could try this: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=121145 I haven't tried it yet but I think it is what you are looking for. Edit: I have just read it a bit more carefully and it does not support real time orders but is a Mission pre planner that then can be imported back into DCS. still cool in its own way. We could do with something like ARMA where you can write notes on the map.

JTAC for KA-50 is probably the most useful thing you can do with the PVI800 you need this mod for it to work.

It could be very interesting to have a DCS level M1A2 I would play it. I think it could take just as long to build as a DCS Aircraft especially because it would be the first high fidelity ground unit in DCS so we might not see it for some years yet. Would be fun to have a DCS SAM Sim to go along with it to.

I have uploaded it Here because people where saying the Sky Drive link would not work. I had to strip stuff out to make it small enough to upload, but I hope it should still work It is human controllable but only if you have DCS:Combined Arms. DSHK.zip

You could try deleting the collision box in 3D max all together. But AI may have code that tell them to stop before hitting an object where it will cause a collision detection or not , i which case you might have to find some sort of setting that tells AI to ignore the object completely, if such a setting even exists. Edit: You could look into adding this model as a type of tree because as we all know trees are not collide-able. not sure how you would do that his might be a start:http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=12574 Have a look at the WIKI http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/wiki/Simulator_Scripting_Engine/DCS:_World/Part_2 might help also Look at this thread with has some notes on object size http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1865810

Surely using a mouse is quite close to finger tracking. I know it is not 3D but it would be possible to get an in game arm to follow the mouse cursor and could feel quite realistic. The trouble is finger tracking will probably not be accurate enough (I have seen alot of very bad reviews about the Leap Motion) The switches on the A-10C are so close together that even if you had good finger tracking (if) without tactile feedback it would be hard to know which switch you are pressing.

I love Tiger Moths. A friend of mine used to own one and he would takeoff form a grass field near his house and take people up and do loop the loops and scare the bejeebers out of them. It was to bad when he rented it to a film company for a stunt and the stunt pilot crashed into a barbed wire fence and totally trashed the plane

docfu preaty much hit the nail no the head with his list (apart from Nav Lights, Weapon Launch override and Eject!) But it does I depends on witch joystick you use and how many button combos you can learn to remember. I use a Logitech G940 I use 3 modifiers (2 modifier buttons + both together) to fit all the commands I need to joystick mapping. No modifier pressed= most common tasks (switch weapon flares, etc) First modifier on my hotas = Less common commands (Nav Lights, Night vision, etc) Second modifier on my hotas = All view commands (F10 map, Outside view, Airport view, etc) Both modifiers together = uncommon commands (Dump Fule, Jetison weapons, etc) It seems complicated but I have been using this system for years and I never have to use the keyboard (I even have the Esc key mapped to get out of missions) hope that helps anyone.

No they have said they will give you a %20 bonus on the full price models you have bought towards the price of a future purchases. Why can people not read T&C's properly.

I just wish they would release some more stuff so I could buy it! The DCS:A-10C Beta was released in October_2010 There has been some good improvements in DCS since then but no first part DCS module to plunk my cash on! DCS:ANY Aircraft ,WOULD BUY $$$ DCS:Tank Simulator ,WOULD BUY $$$ DCS: ,WOULD BUY $$$ DCS:New Terrain ,WOULD BUY $$$

I use a Dolby 5.1 Sharkoon headset they might not be the best of the best but they are reasonably priced and support both optical and analog inputs and two output jacks and bulit in Microphone. The good thing is an Spdif optical cable is very easy to switch between my Xbox 360, Xbox one and PC.

As others have said, I very much doubt that coming out of the sun effects IR SAM in this SIM. Have you seen how basic the locking of air to ground missiles is! and that is for the Player image how much simpler the code for the AI will be. It doesn't simulate real optics etc. It is not real life, it is just game code it has to be vastly less complex.

I haven't played much recently so it may have changed. But it will be good when they include full stat's and logbook tracking for CA. It would be much more satisfying if in MP when you killed a ground vehicle that was player controlled it said killed: "Player_name" instead of just killed: Tank.

I think you need to have Shadows set to high to see light pools on the ground. Do you have them on High in options?

You should probably post this in the bugs section if you are saying there is a bug in the CA firing solution in DCS 1.2.7 EDIT: opps didn't see that we are in the bugs section, I came from the latest post link on the main form and thought I was in CA root. :)

I just found out about this while trying to find the MiG-21Bis forum. Very sad news :cry:

Yeah at nearly 10 years old my Lock On CD is one of the oldest things I own. I will feel a bit sad to see it go :cry: Good news for ED thought!
