Nice work :D Thanks for this :thumbup:

Thanks for another fine skin JST! :thumbup:

As mentioned already, check runtime installations for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

Thanks for pointing this out :) I'm on Windows 7 and was having same problem.

Nice! Many thanks! :thumbup:

Nice work again! :thumbup: I'm not familiar with paintschemes used by italians but it does add variety :)

It would be way too early to start using DX12 which is not properly released yet and which needs new driver model (WDDM2.0) in Windows 10. Limiting support to one specific OS version would be silly before it is used in the market.

Nice work again JST! :thumbup: Thanks for sharing!

That is nonsense, CTD was still at least a couple of years from releasing. WAAAY after ED with C-model no matter how you look at it. More likely CTD had to stop since they were doing only part-time, did not have enough resources and/or information and so on. So practical issues mostly, nothing political.

Instead of applying "white light" consider way to increase brightness of lit areas. The color of surface after light is reflected from it would be more important than just the tone of light itself (which is often more yellowish than pure white). Also considering lighting on surfaces like snow as well, just changing the color of light to white would not improve realism. Moon light should appears bluish while fires and such have much more yellowish tone.

Or at least half-decent knowledge of technical terms.. I remember the days when english word "swapfile" was translated as something like "flipthrowfile" :doh: Anyway, just translating text is not always enough, sometimes charts and pictures need to be edited as well which is even more time consuming..

I would guess ED has that in plans since DCS 2 is supposed to have "skeletal" animations supported (which would be huge improvement over current character animations). Hawk "cold start" mission does have all kinds of people in the field but servicing the planes is missing. For example, rearming and refueling personnel would be high on my list to add with all the additional equipment.

Thanks again! :thumbup:

That would be interesting theatre for various reasons. One that it's fairly recent still.

Very cool! :thumbsup:

http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=116901 That might be the "guide" you seek at the moment. To learn how to do a 3D model in something like 3ds Max is way WAY out of reach of a simple guide like that. If your experience is in coding there's some examples there as well about integrating to DCS. If you can get someone else do the 3D model for you that might be another thing you could start learning about. Even a simple aircraft can be a lot of work and study so don't expect too much at first. Edit: this seems to be a good tutorial on the 3D mesh modeling part to get started (does not include animating things it seems):

One problem with BMS is that it is in somewhat "grey area": on the other hand it has been rewritten to another simulator entirely, on the other hand it originates as mods and use of leaked sources. So it is something that people with business to handle don't want to risk with. Also the amount of variations in F-16 is a problem for any developer and it is not a simple aircraft to simulate. Having F-16 on DCS would really have many benefits like interacting with all the other modules, various network and hardware support and that it is actively developed and maintained so bugs get fixed and new hardware/software support are added. The cost of such module and potential customers is a question, also access to enough real data might be a problem since it is still being operated by many nations. These are just my opinions on the matter, nothing solid from any developer so take it with caution.

If it flies and is properly simulated count me in! :thumbup: I mean, even if there aren't weapons in each aircraft things like tankers, troop transports and such have their roles in combat scenarios. So limiting by only if it carries weapons is rather restrictive I think. For example, Airbus tanker for Eurofighter? C-47 to drop paratroopers? Light recon planes? Bring 'em!

Again, thanks for fine work! :thumbup:

Very nice! :thumbup: Thanks for sharing :)

Or this ;) Edit: sorry, you were right about that :)

Hah! Nicely done :thumbup: Brilliant reference to Police Squad TV series :megalol::megalol:

Still that should get better FPS than it currently has.. Here's some tips: * verify you have newest AMD drivers for GPU, currently 14.12 and has plenty of improvements * check both DCS options and driver options that you have anti-aliasing disabled * check DCS options TSSAA is disabled (may remember that one wrong) * check DCS options for ground clutter/bushes is at minimum, also civilian traffic at minimum * check DCS options that tree shadows are not selected Anti-aliasing can be very large resource hog on AMD GPUs and DCS TSSAA is also very demanding currently. This might be helpful also if that does not help yet: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=107551

Really looking good! :thumbup:

Well, those signs in the cockpit are more ideological than other kinds of markings. If they were just political markings it could be different, but they are not. So they are easily causing pretty heated reactions in many people. I do get the idea of playing "dark side/light side" but stereotyping people into either category is not a good idea as a general rule. And those markings in the cockpit should not be used anywhere.
