Need-To-Know

I would be curious to know which audio slider controls the buzz/hum of the batteries. I would like to turn the battery buzz down.

Ha - ok I found it! D:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\MiG-21BIS\Entry/03_Views.lua Opened in Notepad++ Line 10: changed 105.0 to 140.0 Line now reads: CameraViewAngleLimits = { 30.0, 140.0 },Awesome now I am not zoomed into the HUD and can see the whole pit. Thanks Need - I would rep you but you can't rep yourself. :smartass:

Ok I found the post that instructs me how to fix the KA50 and A10 views but the Mig21 is not located in that file. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=116427&highlight=cockpit+zoom

I sit a little too close to the front panel on the Mig21. It was the same in the KA50 but I fixed that in a config file in the past (forgotten where and can not find it in a search). Patch reset my FOV. I just want to widen my field of view. So I can see more of the cockpit top to bottom. See system specs below. Three across the top (5760 x 1080) and one lower (1600x900) Track IR I understand I can setup "Zoom" with buttons or axis - that is not what I am referring to. I mean field of view - I think. Also my ratios in the DCS options are fine. The solution is in a config parameter..like changing a 30 to a 60 or something like that...but which one? Worked in the past but not sure how to anymore.:helpsmilie: Thanks guys!

Thanks LN, Less 60,000 tris with no loss of fidelity? That's a lot.... I really like the special things in the cockpit that you do not see in other pits. Like the area around the radar. The cloth the threads on the tight top corner and tons of other things I keep finding. Really want to keep all of that in my box. I realize some this is accomplished by transparency (alpha), and normal maps etc - but some has to be geometry. I know you know what you are doing. Just gotta say it. Maybe have a "HD Cockpit" Option for those of us who have no problems. Currently you have the best modeled plane in any simulation in the world. And by far the best support I have seen.

I have done really well on FPS (don't you hate guys that say that) but it is true. Also I learned long ago to not start comparing and monitoring FPS. If it looks smooth than it is fine by me. Anyways just chiming in to say don't dummy down the graphics across the board. Fixing a glitch or unnecessary rending cool but let the guys who invested in high end systems still enjoy nice highend graphics.

Nice one cichlifan! Thanks

ooooh noooo! KA-50 is not working either. Argh every time I get things working.....:crazy: I am thankful they update DCS. But no KA-50 for me until I get this figured out. Glad the Mig came out today. :)

I always chime in on these post... To me it is like a blind man. Since he can not see he has better hearing. As sim pilots since we can not feel the AC like a real world pilot can (and they use that sense very much) we need the extra sense of sound. I am sure LN has it all figured out. Just wanted to vote for a bit more engine noise in all sims - even if it is not exactly what real pilots hear. Thanks - just one mans opinion.

Comrades vee shall fill de skies vid zee beautiful Iron and Red Stars of zee Motherland soon. Heel Click Salute fellow Pilots of de Mig21s. До свидания

Geez what's the rush? Hehe - I am sure no one is looking forward to it more than you guys. One small step for us pilots one giant step for DCS with its first third party release. The bar has just been raised (well in a few days anyways). Congrads and remember us small guys when you become sooo famous. :)

Now that was funny!! :megalol:

Yeah it was on the S77th server I got hit both times. S77th is the funnest mission in multi I have played so far. Shot down: Once while flying near the airbase we were trying to capture. And another time while landed at the airbase - unloading troops - we were trying to capture. I was in the huey at the time (Unescorted). Might have even been a KA50 when I was landed. It was at night (long round) and someone (-the KA I bet) was shooting flares over the base. While flying I was being lazy and several meters above the trees. Sticking to mountains and towns now...find me if you can...haha

Veeery nice. Thanks for the info. :clap:

Interesting. I had seen that SLI was going to be supported in an earlier post from Wags but did not see it on the list in the Sept. newsletter. So is SLI still going to make the Edge list- maybe a future thing or something? Figures crossed. :)

Give me a JUG and that will be the last of my job, social life, and family. Isn't there treatment for guys who find solace in a JUG. Already drunk on the idea....Kidding But honestly it will be the main/only WW2 platform I fly (unless a B17 comes along). The Yanks are coming!! Over paid, over sexed, over here and one day over powering!

I voted for the B17 with all of the cool WW2 AC available but the F-111 would be my modern pick too. A2A really got the ambiance of the B17 right but I miss the multi stations of the old old old Microprose game B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th. It had navigators area with wind drift, bombers sights etc.....ahhh that was a long time ago. We would need some large scale terrain to fly historic missions (personally not into the 8 hour missions though).

I just picked up the Black Shark...WOW really cool. I found it easy to fly after spending so much time in the Huey. But shooting weapons has been a different story. Ehh but it is only the first day. Was suprised the RW & and this one does not have FLIR camera (or similar). But glad it is modeled correctly. Just hard at night with a little fog mixed in. Still Love this thing. A must buy on sale - even though I bought it at full price a few hours before the sale - DAH :doh: :) My morning flight:

AWESOME Dig It - you are really going to "dig it" (sorry - could not resist. :). 6 Gig - It is known as future proofing!! EVGA also has a great "step up" program. And has offered great support to me at least.

Ok I spoke too soon. :doh: Seems you can get the 6 Gig now. They released a few early on and they all sold out fast. But they are back now. :D Just checked Newegg and they have them back in now. Yippy!! You can read user reviews there too. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487040&cm_re=06G-P4-3787-KR-_-14-487-040-_-Product Just another FYI - Does not look like there will be a 780ti with 6 gigs from EVGA anytime soon. Get'm while they gotm.......hehe anyone want to buy my 3 gig 780 classified.

I have had bad luck with Asus video cards in the RMA process (a true nightmare) so changed over to EVGA for my video cards. Sticking with Asus for motherboards though. An FYI EVGA is coming out with a 6 Gig GTX780 for the same price I paid for my 3 gig. Again it is a matter of patience since they have been coming out with it for a long time. http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=06G-P4-3787-KR

Interesting. So that explains why ground units get me when I am sitting on the backside of a forest. Just happened a couple of times recently. So how about buildings in cities? Can I hide in them? Learned something new tonight thanks!

Hey guys, I have one FC AC (F15C) and have not spent much time in it. However I do spend a lot of time in Helos. In a multiplayer environment can your fighters radar see choppers flying: Low across fields? In cities between buildings? When I am low in the trees? Low just above the trees? Parked on the ground? How low do I need to go? Got shot down the other night while I was pretty low....so just wondering. Thanks FC Guys

I just bought the F15C stand alone a couple of days ago. I figured for 10 bucks whats to lose. I have the exact same AC as the OP. And have never felt the DCS world with speed. Gotta say, even though I thought I would not like the lower fidelity of a non clickable, easy AC it has been a lot of fun. Blasting straight up and covering the whole map so quickly. It looks great inside. My vote would be for them to just finish it and make it like the A10c. F15s fly over my house every day at 10am. Made me want to test it out. Glad I did. Will not fly all of the time....but will from time to time. Good to see what the opposition is capable of.

Sorry not spent enough time researching.... Too busy creating - :) How do I make mods that I create JSGME ready?
