If I would like to participate together with my 11 years old son, would you think that might be acceptable? Wondering how much profesionalism is required to this event. Just for understanding, we will fly SU25T and we have both fully equipped rigs for flying simulation. We are not however used to play in big multiplayer events like this one, but we would like to start to. Oh BTW, he will be my wing :)

I have 28" 4K G-Sync monitor - 60HZ - with GTX1080. The refresh rate of the monitor will not be exceeded if you are running in ULTRA details and more than HIGH range view. So, this could become an option. Image quality in 4K is amazing and I hardly trade it for faster FPSs... applicable not only for DCS but for other games too (ARMA3 looks amazing too). So, if you are a hardcore player then you have to choose always lower resolutions and WQHD have its own advantages: wider screen and better FPS. Now, you have to choose :)

Just for the record: which version of TrackIR do you have? Is it 4 or 5?

No, it is not disapointing. I am waiting for so long time for WW2 assets and dedicated server (real dedicated server not what it is now). I am one of those who loves that time period and who strongly believes that DCS can put them in a completely new light. IL2 used to be the reference game and I played it for years, but not anymore. Now everything that flies should go into DCS... they only need some more FTEs :)

I have a sour taste in my mouth because of these updates segregation. ED, we all are your customers and we are here to stay... no matter russian / european / Chinese or alien. Make a common information for us all...

Try to set your _MODS folder within your DCS World instalation path. Do step by step very carrefuly what is written here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1622052&postcount=1 . It will work 100%. As a personal touch, I am installing JGSME within game folder. This way I can have as many instances of JGSME for as many games i need to use it. Each installation will have its own shortcut. "Instalation" is actually just unziping its files.

@mwheeler: your initial proposed configuration is ... how to say... a crap :). Take my comment in a constructive way. You are not saving money with that build on long term, but exactly opposite. Have a look on the above Bitmaster proposal and keep asking. Be constructive, guys here will guide you. Assembling a computer these days is quite straight forward.

We still can hope that Gunfighter will be available in the begining of 2017... according with their latest statements (but don't ask me to provide links :) ) . And I also think will be even better than Warthog. Gladiator is here as they promised, but seems they found out some issues with the materials used for gimbals (when used with heavier handles) so that they took some extra time to fix it for future Gunfighter. Just to be clear, Gladiator itself is ok as it is with its light joystick on top.

Seconding StandingCrow: better then lower GPU in SLI it is always a single most powerfull GPU. (less burdening, more stable functionality, less computer power) I've been there a while ago with 2x 770GTX in SLI and not going this way anytime soon. SLI is also a functionality which will be decomissioned in a while due to DX12 capabilities to split the workload over multiple GPUs no matter of their type or vendor (future is bright :)) . And also from money persepctive there is no addon value having the solution proposed by OP.

It happens always that only bad things are widely visible, while good things remain hidden. Kindly ask people having second thoughts on VKB products to take a deep breath and think again. VKB is the only one for now who really try to develop something that we, as niche community, do really need. Don't like the Gladiator because is not supporting Warthog? Don't like Windows because Linux exists? No problem, uninstall Windows and go for Linux. Same here: sell your Gladiator or even better donate it to a closer friend (community will grow) and go buy your Gunfighter later on. I will not buy that somebody who afford warthog and gladiator cannot afford later one the Gunfighter. So, I just want give VKB some credits for their good work. Please do the same and encourage such rare initiatives.

Hi all, I am trying use Helios for first time and went into a strange issue that I cannot solve even though I have studied all guides on this forum. The idea is that I have a 1920x1080 monitor on top of a 3840x2160 (main one of course). I want to display Cpt.Zen profiles on top but it displays me an cropped version of dashboard. I did "reset monitors" and all other stuff in the editor but no luck. I am attaching you a screenshot representing exactly my issue. Windows monitor setup is also exactly like in the picture. If somebody can give me some other ideas will be fantastic. Not sure if this matter but 4k monitor is driven by a GTX1080 while the full HD monitor is driven by a 770GTX.

Just for my curiosity, why are you needed such DVD when the life cycle of a DCS version is for about couple of month?

Not sure about 4k TV performance. If you ask me, try better a 34/35 inch monitor with 3840x2560 resolution and 75/100Hz .. eventually G-Sync. My setup for 4K in the signature. Everything on full runs smooth!

No issues at all on my side. Anyway Mig21 should increase that license limit to 30... just saying!

My STRIX is also running on 2050 MHZ with no issue and cool enough so that the thermal throttling is avoided. I am using ASUS own software for OC.

I think the proposal here is not focused to have "moded" flyable planes. And BTW I wouldn't agree this approach because it can introduce a lot of hacks. I never used a plane mod in DCS because it looks extremely odd to fly a F16 let's say having the SU25 cockpit and an Extra300 FM :D. But adding nicer AI planes, even new planes or improving existent assets could be indeed something achievable. There is no worry about FM becasue it is anyway a SFM already in place. The main concern remains with the model and damage model.

Yes, but not in DCS... deck crue cannot be simulated at all :)... maybe in Arma :D

4K using here too ... GTX 1080 Stryx is handling it pretty good. GPU memory load is above 6GB in 4 K .. still under the 8Gb maximum available on it.

Please provide some details

I recently raised same issue in another topic. But glad that more people raise this issue... hopefully somebody will pay attention to it.

Hello Pitot, I might be interested in a relaxed team playing. The SU25A/T are by far my preferate toys. I did not flew Su27 too much. I consider myself a not skilled pilot when it comes to complex avionics, but decent player with SU25s. My location can be seen in my user profile, so I think we are pretty close.

Why would you buy such a low end card and put in SLI ? Past experiences shows us all that this is not a practical choice because of SLI known issues and the best choice will be always to take a single more powerfull GPU (I've been there also). Saying that, the only real value added for SLI will be with top GPU's only. It applies to crossfire too.

Then you have to quit gaming :) It is quite hard for gaming industry and developers to consider as main branch for a game a Linux distribution. And this is for a single basic reason that is almost impossible to control kernel versioning so that the game can be always stable... is hard even on windows but is 5 times harder to control this on Linux. The hope die last anyway :). As for me, I will keep up with Windows roadmap.

The configuration in my signature is runnig 4k with everyting in full detail very smooth. From 50 to 180 FPS. Your resolution is even smaller than mine so it should run overall even better.

Yes he was well known here in Romania too. On the communist era there were very few non-romanian movies allowed to play here, and his movies were part of that exception. As kid I was very happy going to cinema and watching Bud Spencer and Terence Hill. I also observed that at his elder age he looked very lightsome... showing that he really was a good man in this life. RIP
