So did I yesterday in the Stream ;)

I believe the crashes have not been DCSW 2.0 related. Everytime when the stream continued he did not start from the beginning. It seems that the stream itself caused the issues, respectively TwitchTV. Just my 2 Cents. By the way, in my opinion the Live Stream was amazing and I hope this will be continued the same way soon and frequently. Good job Wags and ED.

Hi Deezle, many thanks for the input. This is exaclty what I wanted to hear ;) Even though the GTX 970 would be great to have the GTX 760 is only 1,5 years in my rig. I´m running 3 Displays as well but the Cockpit is only on one, the rest is for Helios and MFCDs. Yesterday I found a post at SimHQ where someone moved from GTX 670 to GTX 970 with a i7 2500K (I´m at work and the link is firewalled, but I belive it is this one http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4026896/GTX_670_upgrade_to_GTX_970). His DCS A-10C Benchmark showed appr. 15 FPS more with the GTX 970. Hmm. Doesn´t matter if we talk about 45 vs. 60FPS but there I saw min. FPS 25 vs. 40. Anyway, I believe I save the money for the time being and will think about an update later on. I hate my undecidedness......:cry:

I´m on the way to upgrade my PC. My actual one is in the Sig and I wanna go to a i7 4790K. As I own a GTX 760 already I´m interested in the difference between the 760 anf the 970 in DCS. Should I spent the extra 350,-€ or should I stay at the existing one and simply enjoy the extra power of the CPU. I´m playing DCS only.....any comment would be great. Xoxen P.S.: Could think about a Warthog if I skip the 970.....arghh.....hard decision.

For me statistics like hours flown and kills/crashes etc. would be enough. When I switched to Multiplayer I totally lost overview of flown hours. Rating isn´t important for me as I never would be inside of the top ten ;)

Same for me. Funny, this morning I told my 9 year old son about the time I ordered F-19 for the C-64. I ordered it with express delivery and the postman already came before I had to go to school that day. Hard day in school as you can imagine ;) I expect it was one of the longest ones I ever had...... Xoxen

Most wanted lese ich mal so, das ICH es mir am meisten wünsche. Deswegen hier meine Hitliste: 1. F-16C 2. F/A-18C (oder E) 3. AH-64D NTTR und DCSW 2.0 sowieso, sind aber ja keine Flugzeuge ;) Xoxen

TMS up short to bring it from area to point track mode and then TMS up long to make it your SPI. Hope I got the question right. Xoxen

Danke für die Einladung. Freitags is nur immer nicht so gut. Ich behalte das aber mal auf dem Schirm.

Danke für die Antwort. 2 Tage die Woche übersteigt leider meinen Rahmen, vor allem auch der Freitag. Hört sich sonst recht interessant an.

Hallo Falcito, wie oft fliegt ihr denn so? Hab darüber nichts auf eurer Homepage gefunden (oder es übersehen). Gruß, Xoxen Edit: Und an welchem/n Wochentag(en)?

Die Ladezeiten verbessern sich erheblich, alleine von daher lohnt es sich. Was bei mir aber seit der SSD auch weg ist sind die Microstutters. Nach dem Umstieg läuft nun alles problemlos. Hatte viel andere Sache ausprobiert, aber nur der Umstieg auf die SSD hat schließlich das Stottern (ca. alle 5 sec. für 0,5sec.) beseitigt. Zu dem Umstieg von 16 auf 32GB kann ich nicht viel sagen, habe 8GB drin und merke keinerlei Probleme. Ich kann mir schwer vorstellen, dass es für das Programm was bringt, aber was man hat das hat man ;) Gruß, Xoxen

Thanks, this also directs me more and more into the Warthog direction. I also found some older threads in other forums saying the same. Actually my wife is the only one who is not convinced so far (something I didn´t take into consideration), even though your arguments are brilliant and I used them ;)

Hi mrwell, many thanks for the writing. This is exactly the type of feedback I would like to listen to. Even though it is the more expensive way to go ;) Unfortunately I missed the weekend sale but now I can start thinking more precisely :) Many thanks again and it´ll be great to listen to some more experiences. Xoxen

Hi Folks, I´m actually thinking about buying a Hotas Warthog. There is a sale at Amazon Germany for 270,-€ which is quite "cheap". But is it worth it? I'm flying A-10C only. Actually I have a Hotas Cougar with Magoo´s Mod which makes it nearly without any play and also nearly no wear. It is in perfect shape, so this does not justify the invest (beside of this I have a lot of spare parts like springs, every knob etc. just for the case....) So I would like to know more about the way the Warthog performs compared to the Cougar. The detailed question is if I will see an "Ahhhh!!!!"-Effect in regards to sensitivity/accuracy? I have played around a lot with courves and in general I´m satisfied with my Cougar. The question is if I will see an advantage e.g. in AAR with the Warthog as it might be more precise? It´ll be great to get some answers from someones who made this step already as 270,-€ is cheap for the Warthog but are still 270,-€! And I own a great piece of Hotas already. Thanks in advance and all the best, Xoxen

And this big big gun :gun_rifle:

I found this in the DCs A-10C Manual: "At the delivery of the 100th A-10A, the Pentagon christened the aircraft the Thunderbolt II. However, in the tradition of the F-84 nickname "Groundhog", the F-84F "Superhog" and the F-105 "Ultra-Hog", the A-10A community nicknamed the A-10A the "Warthog" or just "Hog" for short. This nickname tradition coupled with the not-so-graceful lines of the A-10A was quite apt." I believe the more you watch at the bird the more beautiful it gets. Was the same for me. Now I love it :)

Very funny. Was playing around with this yesterday evening as well. Found a good head position but this screws my view onto the HUD. So others have this issue as well. Good to know but bad to have no good solution. The head position more close to the seat is kind of better flight feeling as I can see more of the pit and the ground. But the HUD isn't what I expected to see. Even though it might be realistic it would be great to have control on that as well. Have a great weekend, Roland

I did it with two....?!

For me adjusting the curves was the key to success as well. I also had trouble to stay calm behind the tanker. Now I adjusted my curves to be less sensitive in the center. Especially the throttle curve, to be more accurate in the "center", helps me to stay at the correct speed and it only make small inputs. I have to mentikon I´m using the Hotas Cougar. What I heard from my flight mates the Warthog is better in this matter. I´m trying to AAR since 3 months and can get the tank filled up (from 2x1000lbs left) using 8-10 connections. Still too much time and not combat ready, but it is a good feeling to leave the tanker with a full tank (instead of shooting him down because of high amount of frustration). Xoxen out

So do I. But still 25yrs to go........great post and +1

@Retsilf: Vielen Dank. Bin zwar beruflich immer sehr eingespannt, aber wenn ich die Zeit finde immer gerne. Fliege derzeit mit 3 Leuten zusammen, so wie es halt passt. Einmal die Woche, mehr bekomme ich meist nicht hin, vielleicht 2x. Wenn das kein Hinderungsgrund ist, dann ab dafür ;-) Gruß, Xoxen

Hallo, ich wollte nur mal meine Erfahrungen posten, die ich in den letzten 9 Monaten gemacht habe. Ich habe mich einer Fluggruppe angeschlossen und wir sind mehr oder weniger regelmäßig am fliegen, meist einmal die Woche. Da ich nur das Modul A-10C besitze ist es auch das, was ich ausschließlich fliege. Ich bin immernoch am lernen, habe mir mein vorhandenes Wissen bei den Onlineflügen, über Videos und dieses Forum hier erarbeitet. Ich kann nur jedem raten nicht aufzugeben. Wenn man mal die Mühle ohne Anleitung alleine hochfahren kann ist das schon ein erhebendes Gefühl. Auch das präzise Abwerfen der Waffen macht Spass und irgendwann kommt auch die Taktik dazu. Ich bin noch lange nicht am Ende. Fazit: Ich habeviele Flugstunden gesammelt im letzten Jahr und habe viel Spass dabei gehabt und noch mehr dabei gelernt. Multiplayer macht mir mittlerweile mehr Spass als alleine zu fliegen, man muss nur den Sprung wagen. Ich würde es wieder so machen. Gruß, Xoxen

Hi StrongHarm, thanks for the advice. When I calculate 574/8 I get an appr. upload speed of 71kb/s. 14.336 (14MB) / 71 = 202 seconds --> appr 3,4 Minutes. As we were three people, two were loading from my PC. So it could fit to wait more than 5 Minutes. We will give it a try to load it in SP first and then fire it up the MP. Good advice, thanks for this. I will post if we finally made it and how we like this Mission. Thanks and have a great day, Xoxen

I want the Mig
