  1. I use CH sticks and throttle. I didn't install the CH software, everything works the way it should. Not sure what the CH software adds?

     

    Hi lemoen,

     

    The Control Manager is a nice asset because sometimes I click one button and I trigger a sequence of buttons press or a button combination.

     

    Mine works well under direct mode, but I'd like to get the mapped mode back.

     

    Tks,

  2. Hello gentlemen,

     

    I just upgraded to a new computer and decided to install Windows 10-64 in it.

     

    I was able to install my CH FighterStick/Pro Throttle/Pro Pedals in the new OS. I can even see it in control panel and calibrate via the CH software, Control Manager.

     

    The problem starts when I try to use my Control Maps (how they call profiles in CHs) and go for the joystick "Mapped Mode". It blacks the OFF, DIRECT and MAPPED Buttons in the Control MAnager Software and windowns 10 gets lost with the new joystick/device names. Basically Control Manager renames joysticks to CM Device 1, 2 and 3...

     

    I'd like to know if any of you managed to fix this or do you think I am cursed to use direct mode?

     

    I got so frustraded I am at point of ditching my beloved CH products and change to a Warthog A-10 Stick, but in Brazil they are VERY expensive.

     

    I thank you in advance for ANY advice you give me.

     

    All the best,

  3. can the tucano be flown solo? meaning that the pilot has all the weapon and navigation controls availabe?

    that would allow a bit more flexibility, since you would not always need a 2nd player or AI for the backseat.

     

    really looking forward to this one. it's the most unique aircraft in the pipeline and will probably make for super itneresting missions with a shift to smaller enagements or interesting roles in complex combat environments (afac etc.).

     

     

    Hi twistking,

     

    Yes, both A-29A and A-29B can be flow solo.

     

    B model is used mostly for instruction.

     

    All the best,

  4. Hello Genglemen,

     

    I got a new computer and got into trouble after I built it.

     

    What I did.

    I deleted all the modules. Yes, stupidity has no limit. Instead of just click DRM and deactivate it I clicked in the trash can and deleted all modules. Pretty stupid from my part... Typical user. Sorry. :D

     

    I got the old SSD with both DCSs and installed in the new computer, worked fine until I started to get overtemps due to bad thermal paste or bad cooler seating. Solved now.

     

    During the DCS 1.5.6 M-2000C module download, the computer crashed. After that, every time I try to get into the modules manager, it loads up to 12% and gets stuck.

     

    I attached my log but I think the problem is around here:

    Any of you DCS Magicians can help me? Or do I have to do a clean re-install?

     

    Btw I have the back up of the DCS folder before deleting the modules (both for 156 and 2.0)

     

    I thank you in advance,

  5. Guys,

     

    Just to let you know. Today I removed the CPU cooler, changed the thermal past for Artic Sylver 5 and reseated the Cooler. I also load the F5 (default) values from the BIOS as BitMaster suggested.

     

    The temperatures droped from 67X-80C down to 25C-28C... Much better. I don't know if it was the seating or the thermal paste. Anyway... Solved.

     

    Seens running stable now. The follow up is to reinstall all DCS 2.0 modules. My DCS 1.5.6 is corrupted and I tried to repair and no deal. I got a hung up while downloading M2000C and now, every time I try to enter the MODULES Manager It get stuck in 12% and hangs.

     

    CPU is running at 4.2GHz now and memory at 2133Mhz.

     

    Any further tip for DCS or fine tunning, I thank you. Later on I will try to adjust for the BitMaster Suggested voltages.

     

    All the best,

     

    Sydy

  6. probably means CPU@4.2ghz and RAM@2133mhz

     

    I suggest checking the thermal paste, re-seating the water block, making sure it has good contact with the CPU, checking the fans are pointing in the right directions

     

    Hi Hadwell,

     

    Yep, that's my path... Once I get time, I will remove the thermal past and put some artic silver or something. That's what I got in Brazil.

     

    Btw, It was CPU aa 4.2Ghz and RAM @ 2133Mhz

     

    Tks for the tips.

     

    Sydy

  7. Hi Bitmaster,

     

    Hell of a post. For sure it will be a good reference. I am having a lot of trouble with my rig about overtemp and instability.

     

    I start to suspect about my Kraken X62. The Pump works, lights and everything, but the temperature stays all the time aroun 70C, sometimes reaches 84, 86 and once 90C. I worked a bit with the Q Fan in the Bios but the system still unstable.

     

    I tried to used some of your values and tips, but all I got was the BIOS CPU Overtemp alert and had to hit F1 to re-enter the BIOS. I deactivated thermal monitoring so I could boot up.

     

    In the process of instability, I managed to screw up my DCS 1.5.6 trying to updating it. Now when I try to see the modules it stops at 12% loading the modules and stops. 2.0 is still working fine, but didn't fly at all yet.

     

    Maybe I disassemble the Kraken and reassemble it, but first I will study the BIOS some more and check the I7 7700K temperatures reported by others.

     

    At least I managed to install most of the programs I need so far.

     

    Any tip you have to fix this instability, feel free to add in. I am using 4.2 on the core and 2133 in the DDR4s, all from same kit just like yours vengeance lpx with a spec that was listed in the QVL for the formula IX.

     

    Thanks in advance for any help,

     

    All the best you all,

     

    Sydy

  8. Sydy,

     

    Are you going to try for the 5GHz clock? I will be happy for somewhere around this mark 4.8 stable etc. I will also be running civi sims / PMDG with this build and want to get them running nice and smooth.

     

    Hi David,

     

    Edit: I will try to fine tune it for sure... I was looking wrongly at CAM.

     

    Tks for the tips,

     

    Sydy

  9. I was thinking that too GhostDog, with all the specs Sydy's using I'm surprised to that he is not going for a M.2 drive on this board. That was one of my first decisions after looking at the spec for the ROG MAXIMUS IX HERO. 2 x M.2 slots.

     

    --

     

    LOL

     

    I didn't go because I never heard about it... Ignorance is a bliss... :cry:

     

    That's a thing for the future, maybe...

     

    Tks guys,

     

    Sydy

  10. Hi guys,

     

    Here goes some pictures of my little creature!!! LOL

     

    Case right before the "smoke test".

     

    IMG_8173.jpg

     

    Up and running. Had to recheck some connections and deactivate the 100GB SSD that I want to re-use. It had the old OS and the new machine got confused...

     

    IMG_8175.jpg

     

    Everything stable so far. Case closed. No OC yet... I will get there. Memory is running at 2333mhz instead of the 3600mhz... Fine tunning will come later.

     

    IMG_8176.jpg

     

    Now it is there! My new machine in my new machine. New computer today and tomorrow I start the familiarization course with the engineering for the Embraer 190-E2, brand new type we are making here. This course is for the prototype we are certifying at this moment. Wait to see the paint job in the Embraer 195-E2 at Le Bourget. We made an Eagle Head in our "Profit Hunter".

     

    I'd say it is a "machineinception".

     

    IMG_8177.jpg

     

     

    Back to the computer, so far, things are stable. Let me continue to install stuff in here.

     

    Tks for the tips, guys. Keep it coming!

     

    All the best,

     

    Sydy

    Samsung 850 EVO 500G SSD

    2 x HD 1T 7200rpm (storage)

    Track IR v5

     

    Future Upgrades

    MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Sea Hawk X 11GB

    16G Kit (8Gx2) 3600 G.Skill Ripjaws V (More Ram? 32G?)

     

    I think I'm going to go with a front mount on the cooler, with the 2 fans pushing.

    Later, if needed I'm going add two more fans at rear for a push pull setup.

     

    I was going to do a top mount install, this draws hot air from inside the case and

    blows out the top tho, the front mount sill draws air through the radiator into the case,

    this still seems to me like the better way to go. Plus I'm trying to keep this

    thing fairly quiet still, so I don't want to remove the case panels from the top.

     

    David,

     

    Hell of a spec as well. I went for the front mount too. So far, it's silent like a charm and I have 5 fans on the case: 2 for the Kraken X2, 1 for the Corsair Vengeance memory kit, 2 for the cases exhausting). I changed the NXZT case fans for 2 thermaltakes at 1.500rpm instead of 1.200rpm.

     

    Nice specs though as someone else mentioned 64GB of RAM isn't going to yield any benefit in games compared to 32GB. Also as you already have a GTX1070 I would suggest jumping up to the 1070Ti instead of the 1080. In any case your specs are stonkingly good and should yield great in game performance.

     

    Hi Konovalov,

     

    My GPU is a GTX 1080 at this moment, not a 1070. I don't think it worths the trouble to go for a 1080Ti at this stage.

     

    I wasn't going to go this far with the new PC build at first, then the boss the other day said I could spend 1200 using the company accounts, because of some company tax break write off. OK sure!:thumbup:

    So this week I'm buying some new PC's for work and ordering some of the, now better parts I need for my new PC build. He can be a nice guy when he wants to sometimes, lol.

     

    That's cool! Buying parts is nice, even more with that kind of "budget"!!! LOL

     

     

    My thoughts:

    Mobo: If you're going to drop that much on a mobo and water cooler, you might consider going whole hog and going with the Maximus IX Extreme with the integrated cooling block.

     

    SSD: An NVMe SSD, like the Samsung Pro Evo 1TB, would give you better storage throughput (don't let those high speed M.2 slots go to waste!)

     

    Hi GD.

     

    That'd be nice but the Mobo is already here. The Formula also has the water cooling block, although I decided not to use at this moment. I don't know in the future.

     

    My DCS runs in a SSD Sansung 1TB and my new OS (windows 10 home) is going to run in that new SSD. I will keep an 3T HD for storage.

     

    Pretty nice tips from all of you!! Thanks a million!

     

    Next post, the machine is up in running and I am installing the stuff again at this moment.

     

    All the best,

  12. Hi guys,

     

    Mr. Pilotasso's Rig inspired me to build a new computer... and abusing insanity... LOL

     

    Took me a while to gather all the parts I wanted. Every trip to USA I'd bring one or two parts. Now I got all I wanted. I'm gonna post here the spec and I'd gladly accept any tip about building it or setting it up. This is not my first build, but it is by far, the most advanced I ever made.

     

    Today I will do my backups and tomorrow I will start to built it.

     

    Here goes the specs:

     

    NZXT Case S340.

    Intel I7-7700k

    Kraken X62

    ASUS ROG Formula IX

    Memory Corsair Vengeance 64GB at 3600Mhz

    NZXT internal HUB 2.0.

    HD SSD 960GB Sandisk Ultra II

    Windows 10 Home

    2 Termaltake Ring 12

    Gametrix KW-908 Jet Seat

     

    What I will use from my old rig:

    PSU Corsair 850W

    GTX 1080

    SSD 1T (the one with DCS 1.5 and 2.0)

    HD 3T 7200rpm (space storage)

    SSD 50GB (was OS, now will be storage space)

     

    These are the new parts:

    Now is the moment I have to thanks my wife for leting me do this "insanity". As she says "I preffer you flying the sim than in the bar or somewhere else I don't know". :helpsmilie:

     

    I think she's smart!!! :D

     

    Anyway, I count on YOU for any tip about the rig. I hope it runs like a rocket!!!

     

    All the best,

     

    Sydy

  13. Hi Andre, dobro din,

     

    Hi Sydy,

    Thank you for the feedback :)

    I've added your state, please try again.

     

    Andre, it worked like a charm.

     

    Spasibo, moy drug!

     

    Just to let you know, My Jet Seat arrived this friday (yesterday). the brazilian post office was on strike and it took forever to arrive (since you posted it early march/17).

     

    The good news it didn't get taxed by the braziliam customs. Thank you!

     

    I am really excited exactly because tomorrow I will built a new rig and the jet seat will go in it. If I run into some trouble, I will let you know and scream for help! :joystick:

     

    Look at my new equipament! It's going to be a rocket
