I just wish they would tell us whats next after the A-10C so this torture would stop :D

That is very misleading. Kingneptune is more right, we dont know anything until someone at ED tells us a little more about what new features the dx11 version of DCS:WH will have, which is not the same thing as what new features dx11 is capable of.

cool :) Just for the record I dont hate the Su-27, that was just a joke, I like the Su-27 very much. I would have no problem with a Mig29 or Su-27 for next DCS, I just prefer the american cockpits and systems much more, so thats why my 1st wish is for an F-18 or F-16, just wanted to make clear I dont hate any russian planes infact i like them alot!! And frikkin LOVE the DCS:BS :D

Ok, fine, here is my opinion, in the same non-humble way that you expressed yourself. Just trying to make a point here: I'm flying sims since my Amiga-era (Falcon, Interceptor..) I never was that tired as I am now of all the Russian hardware... It's starts to get one sided again. Please, switch the side, show us what the americans are capable of. Most of my friends including me have enough of all these russian aircraft. I can't hear all these patriots, Russia-only fans talking about SU-27s (i HATE that one!), Mig 29 Fulcrums, Su-25s, Mi-24s like they never heard of other countries military hardware (ever tried Lockon, Flaming cliffs or BS? Search for "DCS:BS" in these forums. BTW I love the Mig29... but... ENOUGH OF THIS! My (+ my friends) Top No.1 Aircraft wish is the...: F-15C Eagle Next: F16C, F-18C or E, F-15E Strike Eagle, Apache Longbow I'm begging you, no more Russian aircraft. It's starts to feel like.... quantity... too much russia. Our minds are full of russian things in many areas. It's time for a fully simulated US fighter! But yeah, you are right, this is a wish list and you are entitled your wish, I just didnt like the way you put it, like you and your friends get to decide for all the rest of us :P

NO! There are other people on this planet than you and your friends who fly/buy flight sims.

Yes, I should have been more clear, it gets a green check box in modman but once im inside the game the runway is still your old clean v1.0 mod, which was non modman and which I installed in temptextures and terrain, onlay. Sorry for not putting this in the first post. This could be the reason for my problems, having installed your clean version manually and then trying v 3.0 with modman, maybe this is the problem? When I remove your old clean ones from temptextures and terrain/onlay and THEN install v.3.0 via modman I still get the green box, but once ingame the runway and taxi etc are invisible.

My experience with other dx10 and dx11 games vs dx9 is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor's_New_Clothes Yes I CAN see the difference in demos like unigine heaven for example, and in some screenshots, but once ingame and stuff is moving I havent seen any difference in any game yet. The difference in performance has been to the worse. Sofar! But this is still very good news for the FUTURE of DCS, I have high hopes, but for this DCS release it probably wont be much. A good foundation for future releases, and thats very very good! :D

Dont get me wrong I think this is GREAT news, but some ppl should calm down and be more realistic..

Wags wrote when the game is looking good again. Note the word "again". I think there will be no dramatic visual updates, and the reason Matt doesnt want to post videos yet isnt because the game will look much better in DX11 but because some graphical effects are broken right now and it looks not so good anymore right now. And them switching to dx11 does not mean they will use this or that dx11 feature, for example it doesnt guarantee they will use tesselation, so until they tell us what dx11 features the dx11 version will use, dont assume anything about particular dx11 features. My point is the dx11 version will probably look and perform almost exactly like the dx9 version, and im saying this even though I have a dx11 graphics card, im just trying to be realistic. An engine switch this late in development has the risk of being just symbolic + bugs + instability. But hopefully someone at ED will tell us more about the changes, but until then realise this switch doesnt have to mean much at all for this release of DCSWH. In a couple of other dx11 releases I have tried the dx11 version is so unstable I had to switch back to dx10 to be able to run it without crashes.

Hi, screenshots look awesome, I would love to have this installed but no matter what I try I cant get it to work, any ideas? I have your texture V3.0, the modman compatible one, using Modman 7.3 and BS version 1.02. Anyone have an idea what to do? I tried unchecking the ccds box but it was the same.

yeah thats what I thought, Mastiffs answer confused me so I had to ask again, sry.

The first sound, is it the sound of the bullets travelling through the air, perhaps the sonic boom, or is it like you say the sound of the bullets striking the ground or some mock target?

What is the explanation for the two types of sounds? I mean what casues that?

LOL its called modman not madman ;) :P

LOL one solution is to crash and recover, that saves you some time, you dont have to fly back to base :P Not but seriously I understand your problems, I am playing the oil war campaign myself right now and have finished about 2/3 of it, and I had to rearm wapons almost every mission and sometimes 2-3 times. And yes the wingmen are not so bright, in about 3/4 of the time they contribute zero kills. But I still love it, rearm when the mission allows for it and you will eventually finish it I think :) Well I dont know for sure since I havent finished it myself, the first 2/3 are doable anyway.

I told you, just wait :D patch it and the wait will be about 1/3

Ty again, and wait while doing nothing else to the system. Yes it coud take several minutes. Get version 1.02 it has much faster loadtimes

V 1.0 has very long load times, and it switches to desktop while loading. How long did you wait before bringing up the task manager etc??

BTW this IS the cookie thread right? edit: this little joke was made back when I had the cookie monster as avatar, and therefore doesnt make sense anymore :)

Thanks, thats the way I will use the laser from now on. And also I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for another thing, it seems you are the person who made the modded cockpit im using :) Small world this.

Ok, this is strange, I flew again, and this time not locking targets until the counter was gone, but it happaned again, even though I tried to follow your advice JasonJ, the laser stopped working again. Long mission, rearmed once and half way through my rearmed set of missiles laser dies. So maybe its like STP-Dragon says? That switching laser to standby off might solve this?

Ok, yeah I didnt know what that counter did, so I never waited for it before I locked the next target. So yeah I must have burned it out, thanks for the help. (I did search for it in the manual, but I looked in ch2 and 7, I didnt look in the HUD chapter.)

For how long can laser standy be left in ON position? I flew some long missions with lots of targets and the laser stopped working after a while, I couldnt get it back on. I tried the mission again and turned it off between targets but it still stopped working after a while. So anyone know, for how long can one use the laser? Or am I doing something else wrong here?

Does ED know what the next project after the Warthog will be? Im not asking what it will be (because its in vain obviously) but asking if they have decided yet?

Im also beginning to feel ready to start trying to fly BS without labels, but is there a good guide somewhere for that? I only imagine all the problems that will arise trying to find the targets, finding threats, getting too close to threats before I see them, identifying friendlies. I dont know where to start.. I DID fly no labels all the time with the FC2 F-15, but its not the same thing at all, you have the RWR, radar and AWACS + dont need to find the targets on the ground... totally different! So is there a good "no labels" guide for DCS BS?
