Here are some first benchmarks numbers:

ED stated that a dedicated server will be part of the new engine but they put it with a secondary priority in their development. Lately there was absolutely no update on this feature.

I am so tempted to go for a 1080... damn... so tempted... but: this 1080 looks more like a trap. A slow transition from Maxwell to Pascal. They did not put HBM memory because in this case they might just blow away the stocks for old Maxwell cards. They are deliberated underrun this 1080 in this moment. In this moment I do trust more in AMD... their products, drivers, are more honest, no hidden "features" to improve graphics and fool people. AMD DX12 is really working. We need to see how this 1080 handles... but I remain reserved until next series of Pascal will come. Don't get me wrong, Pascal itself is a monster, but here I was referring to 1080 implementation.

They are indeed narrow, but maybe that gliding system will compensate the precision ... we'll see

DCS is DX11 since new engine appeared. Both 1.5 and 2.0 are using same DX11 engine. Directx12 is the newest API and is available only on Windows 10. Seems to improve drastically overall performance of GPUs and it will be downward compatible with Nvidia chipsets to something like 700 even some 600 series. But anyway Nvidia GPUs are clearly behind AMD Fury when it comes to DX12.... at least for now. ED did not mentioned yet a plan to migrate to DX12, but I do really hope they will consider this option ASAP.

I had also some comments on the flight model in the begining, but after some practice my skills have been improved a lot. When FFB will be implemented I thing that it will be even better. Despite my comments, Gazelle is a great work which seems to me pretty close to a final product. Many congratulations to a very determinate and skilfull team: Polychop.

I used bonus to buy it also. Just go through normal buying procedure and pay attention to all the fields in that form... bonus is there.

I have the state of the art MFG pedals, still finding it way too responsive. For joystick I just add a 15% curvature and finding it more maneuverable (I have a G940 with 10 cm extension). I am not a pilot so I don't know what to say, but there are moments where the flight model behavior is not predictable. Hard to explain this for now. :)

I like it, very responsive heli. But I think controls have to be tuned a bit more... I feel like it amplifies my movements. Regarding ForceFeedback, is any plan to have it ?

770GTX with 4Gb of RAM is 4K capable even in a single board configuration...just have in mind that it is not a VR registered board

This really really usefull app... great ideea !

Aren't 10 turns for trimming way too much ? I have found that a good single turn pot with a 12bit controller is precise enough for trim. I cannot imagine where else could be those 10 turns useful. I can see even a problem in appreciating the current position .... Anyway, nice piece of hardware to have arround :)

DCS have by far a much improved controller settings compared with any other sim/game on the market. It suites best for multicontrollers options as 75% of us here are using. I would say it is a matter of acceptance for something different. If there is something comng from "dark ages", well... this is the scale to screenn capabilities for the UI which remain freezed to LockOn era. Otherwise... best in class.

Are you using the joystick in car racing games? :) Regarding G940 centering issue... that movement around centered point are not very good especially for helis. My time did not allowed me to do something but the plan to correct this is the following: - to analyze the signal output that goes to motors with an osciloscope (friends help needed for that :)) - to convert that signal to a PPM like signal with the help from an Arduino board - with Arduino to create an exception that in case of no input signal to preserve the current condition/coordinates - to replace the current motors with brushless outrunners or even stepper motors (of course there will be needed for each an ESC or a driver). The ESC and brushless motors I am intending to use are those used in aeromodelism hobby. Not cheap at all that scenario, but for sure will worth the work. However, I will happilly replace this scenario if somebody can create an directX FFB device which might be added to a LeoBodnar controller. So if anybody can write a code for Arduino (I simply am not capable for this) to translate standard FFB from DirectX it will be the most perfect situation. Even an Worthog might be adapted with FFB after this :)

New CPU's were focused on better embedded graphic and lower power consumption. The CPU raw power is pretty much the same since the 3rd gen of Intel.

This is not a post but a question. They can try answer or ignore it as well, but is up to them not to you ... so thank you for saying nothing here ... good bye!

Dear ED team, please update us about the dedicated server status for the new engine. Is this something scheduled sooner or later... just few words about it. Thank you in advance !

L39 is made extremly well. You can actually feel the plane while flying. This module might became free or might have big discounts after few years maybe... not for now!

I will be interested to buy your device too.

First of all it seems you are overseeing planes limits when it comes to max weight limits on landing. Secondly, I want letting you know that sometime your english is terrible and not understoodable, as the above quoted text.

Pretty big issues with latest Nvidia drivers: http://www.pcgamer.com/geforce-drivers-36447-cause-catastrophic-errors/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=pcgfb

@Tango777 1. have you set your controllers mapping in DCS for each module (aka aircraft) which might be found in options? It will not be enough to do this only for "general". 2. do you have a secondary joystick of any type connected to your system? If yes start by "clean up" all controllers bindings and then reassign by your convenience. To do this put your mouse cursor on each joystick column and hit the button "Clear Category" on the top menu. Your joystick is one of the best ... so don't blame it ;)

For my 770GTX cards it seems that SLI is something Nvidia forgot to support at all. I was encountering massive stuttering and strange behaviours in all games I am using like DCS, Arma, WorldOfTanks. I have switched to single GPU rendering and now I have a great performance improvement... everywhere. Note: my future option will be to avoid by any mean a SLI configuration, instead I will go for the most powerfull single GPU available. I am already tired about this SLI saga.

Good wish... but I would put them in a second line of projects. There are too many to solve for now.

This is a new plane: Mirage-21BIS ... it really looks like a flying tube now :))
