Bought! Thanks for the tip.

Time to buy a few cheap tablets! Can’t wait!

Pro tip. Put VR to the side until the 3080 TI lands, and you don’t have to spend more time playing the option screen than you do flying the simulator. That’s what I did and I’m loving DCS more than ever.

The Cat will naturally pitch up as you offload weapons or increase speed, but nowhere near to the extent that trim alone won't fix it. Definitely need to rebind your pitch axis and check the curve.

4080 Ti.

Doh! Any solution?

As you can see from the following link, my F-14 chaff comes out like large white squares: https://i.imgur.com/fqaxqHL.jpg Any ideas on what is causing this?

I'm keen to purchase one of these, but is it still a 3 month wait before producing from the time of order? Add in postage to Australia, and that's looking like a 4 month wait.

Yet you seem oblivious to any signs of problems at ED when modules like the F-16, decades old bugs, a super expensive carrier, the only free map since launch is 99% water, etc, are staring you right in the face. In lieu of actual sales figures, we have to look for other signs to gauge the health of ED, and I can't help but notice some worrying ones. I hope I'm wrong. Regardless of ED's health, I also want a more rapid pace of improvement than the relatively glacial pace we see with DCS. It's obvious the existing early access/free to play has not performed well in that regard. Don't take my word for it, just look at the game.

Says the guy who only has one ED title in his entire post. If that's your only DCS title, you're part of the reason I believe ED ain't doing so well. As for the EA consumerist award, we all know how much gamers like to whine. Sure EA have had some crap games. They have also had some of the greatest ever made. The Battlefield, Mass Effect (oh God, more whining when some gamers hated the end of ME3, hence the consumerist one year), Dead Space, Dragon Age, series etc, etc. It's so easy to join with the wingers with some fake outrage, but if you actually enjoy gaming you'll have loved many EA games.

Would the creator of this skin mind if I altered it to include the pilot and Rio name of me and my mate?

Hey guys About to embark on my first ever skin touch-up, and was wondering which file/files I need to open and adjust to add my name under the cockpit frame? Also, any idea which font I should install to get close to realistic?

Erm, don't use DDU. It's not 2005.

Is that the same EA that is the biggest publisher in the world? That EA? They must sell so many games because their titles are crap.

How do you stay inspired as an employee? Does your employer give you year's salary upfront, and you promise to deliver (kinda like sellinf early release modules today). Or do you get paid on a monthly basis? Which method proves to work best at delivering maximum benefit for both employer and employee?

I already own every module, map and campaign available for DCS. I only fly a couple. I often buy copies for friends. I look at the hours I spend compared to other hobbies,around 30 per month, and it's a fricking cheap spend. I can understand if you only play 5 hours a month that a sub seems expensive, but up that to ten and $20 is a bargain. If you think $20 is toouch, you must underappreciate the manhours it takes to make this kind of game, or you're stuck in the past when subscriptions only related to your monthly guns n ammo mag. I find it really hard to believe you guys think ED is adequately resourced... when they haven't even released the template for the F-16. Wake up and smell the coffee before it gets poured down the sink.

As mentioned previously, the search feature did not return any results when I looked for "subscription". So they have 200 staff now eh? Weird, a month ago one of the owners said 125. .I'm not trying to tell them how to run their business, but I would like them to know that many of us have enough spare income to afford a tiny $20 per month to keep DCS alive if it comes to that. Also,us grown ups like to chat about things that matter to us. It's a shame that some people have to be rude when they don't agree with something.

Do want! Bit of an immersion breaker to have the same team who service Wonder Woman's jet working on my Tomcat.

Hey Guardian, thank you for really putting some thought into your post. It's really refreshing to know that there are people with a different perspective to me that do think about this topic seriously, rather than just throw their hands up in the air and scream no. All of your points are totally valid, and I can see why the existing model works if they are true. My biggest concern though is the sustainability of ED, and as a direct result, DCS. You are absolutely correct in saying I have no visibility about the financial health of the company, but I do see a few red flags here and there. Things like the totally rushed F-16,and relatively high price of the supercarrier feelike ED is having to lean on these releases to make money. I'm fine with paying for these, but not when they release in the state of the F-16. ED has also talked a lot about improvements to the core engine, and have mentioned a huge variety of awesome things on the way, like new clouds, a dynamic campaign, and porting to Vulkan. Problem is, I've been hearing these promises for several years, yet we still have a sim where my AI wingman can't even remember not to burn through a his fuel. Not sure how long you've been following DSC, but I've been playing since LOMAC, so I'm well aware of ED's intentions to improve the game. But I feel like they simply don't have the resources to deliver on them. A subscription model would go a long way to solving that, and we'd all end up with an even better sim for the cost of a couple of Big Mac meals. Sounds like a no-brainer to me, as I believe ED would use these new funds appropriately. I really do believe that they're super passionate about this game, and wouldn't simply sit back and bathe in cash rather than reinvest it into the game.

Thanks for the explanation. So it seems I need to use both JSGME and OVGME?

Hey folks, the title says it all. I know nothing about design apps, so was wondering what I need to do to change the pilot name on existing skins? And which program can I use to do it? Preferably free! I'm guessing it's actually relatively simple to do this procedure, and it would increase the immersion for my mates and I massively!

As somebody unfamiliar with modding, are you able to explain what you said? Sorry, I'm clueless when it comes to modding this game.

It should be called "Vulcan't fix VR" to set accurate expectations...

Interesting to hear so many people against it. Yet I think it's inevitable if you look at every other entertainment industry. Not to mention hardcore sims. They either have pitifully low player counts like xplane, or they grow from 20,000 subs to 100,000 subs in six years like iRacing did. I think anybody who pays attention to games and entertainment as businesses can see that the paid live service model isn't the future. It's already here.

It's a bit of old knowledge that is now pretty much outdated. Years ago it affected a couple of games, I think CS was one, but I don't think it affects any in 2020.
