Upgrade advice (2015 mid-range PC)
Captain Spears replied to Captain Spears's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Demon: 1920 x 1080, but... soon it will be 2560 x 1080. Thank you, now I'm researching the overclock options. D.Va - thanks, I agree. Will my CPU drive a 1080 ti though? p.s. I get outside a lot all summer, that's why I live in the PNW! -

@Demon, @BitMaster - thank you for your advice. My CPU cooler is: Asetek 510LC Liquid CPU Cooling System [sOCKET-1150] Mother Board: ASUS Z97-K [2x PCIe x16] I feel like the GPU (sub 3.5gb) GTX970 is causing a bottle-neck -
Upgrade advice (2015 mid-range PC)
Captain Spears replied to Captain Spears's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Thanks for the advice guys. BitMaster - it's a K Siggi - yeah, my system actually performs good in DCS but it still stutters, but in X-Plane it's not holding up as well. I also have Windows 8.1 and am thinking of buying W10. -

Hey guys - I'd love to get some advice on what to upgrade on my system, and in what order: I intend to purchase in ultra-wide monitor and am not that bothered with VR in its current state. GTX970 16 GB Ram i7 4790 Thanks! Spears -
VSN_Tornado GR4 Op Telic 2003 (2.5)
Captain Spears replied to Oban's topic in Screenshots and Videos
aw man, if only we had a Tornado module in DCS! Is this available anywhere? -
I'll gladly trade a few early access bugs for the chance to take this lethal weapon on a tree top joyride armed to the teeth with missiles that can sink ships! This is part of DCS and early access, for the price of a pizza you get to support literally years of work, and help them finish it.

Oh cool! that's the problem with YT and things like that. If people fall off the face of the earth, it's possible you may never find out what happened!

Hey guys - Does anyone know what ever happened to Bunyap Sims on YouTube? One of the best DCS YouTubers. I really miss his vids! Thanks, S.

Letterbox widescreen resolution
Captain Spears replied to Captain Spears's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
thanks very much guys -
Hi guys, (the obligatory) sorry if this has been asked somewhere else. I've searched and can't find the answer. Using a single monitor, can anyone advise how I can get a letterboxed resolution such as the one in this video? Thanks! S.

2.1 + Normandy too bright? Try this (ReShade 3)
Captain Spears replied to YoYo's topic in Utility/Program Mods for DCS World
this seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. Now all I have to do is figure out how to install Reshade! Thanks for sharing. -
Hi guys - I think this is the most appropriate forum to put this in. There used to be an option DCS World before 2.0 where you could adjust the 'look' of the graphics. One would make things brighter and softer, another option would make the cockpit look darker (more saturated). I can't remember what the effects were called but it was a nice option. I feel I could really use the darker option in the new Normandy map. Does anyone remember, or is it still there but hidden somewhere? I've heard SweetFX works well but I never had much luck with it. Thanks, S.

DCS Viggen Overview Vid: Why I Like The Viggen
Captain Spears replied to Jive's topic in DCS: AJS37 Viggen
Watched it yesterday as a subscriber. Love your style of video making and this is no exception. I hope you get many more views. -
Awesome ILS system in fact. And I am with you, this may be my personal favorite module yet.

Basically double check your throttle is at absolute 'off'. If you're still having difficulties you can bind a key to Fuel supply off, or throttle off, something like that. It's in the link. This will be addressed in a patch.

"B" button for Air-Brake Toggle doesn't work any more

Thanks. Next patch it would seem :) -
"B" button for Air-Brake Toggle doesn't work any more
Captain Spears posted a topic in Resolved Bugs
After today's update of 2.0.2 the air-brake button no longer works. It does not function by way of pressing the keyboard 'B' button or by HOTAS button. I unbound my HOTAS button, bound it again, and still nothing. B button works fine in other aircraft, and in 1.5. Thanks, Spears -
Hi - I'm wondering if there's been a change to the start-up procedure because all of a sudden when I press the ignition switch I get no engine spool up, no gauge movement, yet the Start-Indicator light turns on. I'm following the procedure (as I've always done) in the manual. Edit: Found the bug here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=163798&page=3 Thanks, S

Hi - I'm getting a repetitive crash in the air-to-air mission using the M2000C in 1.5. I have no mods installed, and everything else is fine. The 2.0 has no issues. It's an application error that reads: At 0x8c813441 referenced memory 0x00000000. Memory could not be read. I'm using an i7, 16G Ram, GTX970. Log file attached. Thanks, S. Logs-4.20.16.zip
