Welche Rolle welcher Komponente zukommt hängt zunächst von der Version von DCS ab. Version 1.5 ist noch CPU-lastiger und die Karte ist am Limit seine Optimierungsfähigkeit. Da musste also ein neues Konstrukt her. Bei mir war es so: Meine derzeitige Konfiguration steht in der Signatur. Zuvor hatte ich eine GTX660. Beim Wechsel auf die GTX1070 hatte ich in Version 1.5 vielleicht 20% Steigerung. In DCS2.0 sinds gut und gerne bis zu +300% im Tiefflug über den Las Vegas Strip. Also selbst mit meiner Sandy-Bridge-Krücke kriege ich noch alles flüssig hin, solange die Engine es erlaubt. Der Trend geht meiner Beobachtung ganz klar dahin, dass die GPU immer entscheidender wird. Vor 10 Jahren hielt sich die Wichtigkeit von CPU und GPU in etwa die Waage. Ein anderer nicht ganz unwichtiger Punkt ist die Multicoreunterstützung. Ich weiß gar nicht wie das in Zukunft werden wird aber ich glaube sonderlich gut war die Unterstützung dahingehend noch nie und wird es wohl auch so bald net. Daher sind viele Kerne mit weniger Leistung PRO Kern, wie es bei AMD und seinen häufig anzutreffenden 8-Kernern der Fall ist, eher ein Nachteil.

This LOD thing might be a reason for better performance but I guess its only a minor reason. Nobody had ever performance issues in caucasus while flying over the mountains. The most critical areas are near senaki and near kobuleti. The difference there compared to any other place on caucasus is the number of objects and if you play a bit with different view range settings and tree visibilties, you will see that the number of objects hit the performance the most. By far! So the most important factor that makes it possible to fly over Las Vegas with a good performance is a different object management and I bet the increase of the level of detail for ground textures and maybe the ground mesh as well wont hit the performance that much.

My texture compilation contains the no-tree-shadow-mod from mustang. The current version of dcs is not any more compatible with mustangs mod so do the following:

I photoshoped a screenshot a bit. Now I am using it as wallpaper. Its the first time since over a year that I change my wallpaper. That must be love :D

It has been released already http://104thphoenix.com

Es könnte an den Grafiktreibern liegen. Da haben derzeit wohl einige Leute Probleme. Und da man einen Patienten mit nem Schnupfen nicht einfach notschlachtet, schlage ich vor, einen ältere Treiber zu versuchen. Die kannst du hier in der Treiber-Historie finden: http://www.nvidia.de/Download/Find.aspx?lang=de-de Ich würde es erstmal mit dem 372.90 versuchen. Wenn das net geht, nimm einen anderen. Wenn das immer noch net geht, lade deine Waffe. Das wichtigste, das mir zur Win-Installation einfällt ist es alle Module zuvor zu deaktivieren, dann anstatt zurückzusetzen lieber eine SAUBERE Neuinstallation zu machen und nach der Installation Win10 zu updaten und anschließen sofort zum Schweigen zu bringen mit O&O Shut up oder Win10 SpyStop oder sowas. Da sollte man sich unbedingt einlesen, da diese Programme alle ihre Vor- und Nachteile haben. Ansonsten ist das alles völlig unspektakulär: Mainboardtreiber, All-In-One Runtimes, Grafikkartentreiber und dann der Rest. Dann sollte es eigentlich gehen. Bei DCS2.0 solltest du eigentlich schon eine Leistungsschub haben. Dafür ist die GPU neu genug. Bei 1.5 macht es hingegen wegen der alten map engine wenig bis fast gar nichts aus. Mit meiner GTX1070 läuft Nevada mit mindestens 60fps auf max aber der Caucasus bricht in der Nähe von Senaki in Blickrichtung Kutaisi auf 33fps völlig ein. Schrecklich.

With release of the normandy map and the containing AI-units you will be able to create some on your own very easily. And yes I am very excited as well to show some B-17s where a fortress really belongs - namely to the ground ;)

I am trying to figure it out too. I hoped for the LUAs in config\terrain\ but had no luck with that.

Multicrew means more than one pilot per plane or chopper via online multiplayer.

Already found the solution. thx :) No its not. This time I excluded the "combos". I am pretty new in this topic and I bet I wouldnt even get a "hello world" from c++ if somebody put a gun on my head but I guess the combos-command is not made for all cases. I tried "combos" for the throttle start/idle position and it worked perfectly fine.

Well I found the solution for the gears of the Dora9: {down = device_commands.Button_5, cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROL_SYSTEM, value_down = 1.0, name = _('Landing Gear Retraction'), category = _('Systems')}, {down = device_commands.Button_7, cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROL_SYSTEM, value_down = 1.0, name = _('Landing Gear Extending'), category = _('Systems')}, {down = device_commands.Button_7, up = device_commands.Button_5, cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROL_SYSTEM, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 1.0, name = _('Fahrwerk 2-Wege-Schalter'), category = _('Systems')}, Now it works as long as the security cover is opened. Now I will try to combine both commands (gear up and cover open) in one single command.

No switches are moving. Thats what I try to make work. If they would, I wouldnt have any problem :) When I set value_up = 1.0, the regarding line in control menu is marked red. So even the software has trouble with the syntax.

This was what I had in the first place. Makes even sense to me but didnt help either.

I just read the tutorial by Hans-Werner Fassbender, provided here in the forum and some entries in this thread. So i tried to assign a 2-way-toogle-switch of my warthog throttle to the gears of the Fw190D9. This is what i figuered out: {down = device_commands.Button_5, cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROL_SYSTEM, value_down = 1.0, name = _('Landing Gear Retraction'), category = _('Systems')}, {down = device_commands.Button_7, cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROL_SYSTEM, value_down = 1.0, name = _('Landing Gear Extending'), category = _('Systems')}, {combos = {{key = 'JOY_BTN24'}}, cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROL_SYSTEM, down = device_commands.Button_7, value_down = 1.0, up = device_commands.Button_5, value_up = 0.0, name = _('Fahrwerk 2-Wege-Schalter'), category = _('Systems')}, Unfortunatly it doesnt work. Line 1 and 2 are default. The 3rd line is mine. Any ideas how to fix that?

I dont think they are using only polygons. I bet all rounds in these screenshots are shown in polar coordinates. Thats why you never see edged surfaces in close ups. When its finished it will be converted into a polygon-model.

underway.

Thx :) Well, "depressed" was a bit exaggerated for the joke. But the models of the Mig19 and Mig23 are definitely way better. They are not textured yet and I used "ray tracing" for my renderings which is kind of cheap sensationalism but the models of the two Migs are much betterand much more accurate. You can see the investigation which were made for it. But my model showed me one thing. I think I would like to be part of a team, which develops a nice plane.

Hi guys, I made a model of a FW 190 A-8 with Autodesk Inventor just for fun. I know this program was not made for such work but I had use the tools which are available to me. This model is neither technical nor historical very accurate but I hadn't any intention to make a module of it anyway. Not least because I have no clue about programming. Sometimes I mixed up things which pleased me. A-8 plane with A-4 skin, "Rüstsätze" R6, R7 and fuel tank, just because it looks cool. By the way, what do you think about the Anton-series, especially the A8 and would you like to have it in DCS. I do, I do... ;)

I really like the color and brightness of these textures. Even the trees look highly realistic. Astonishing that its possible to get THIS out of such an old map.

Thanks. That really helped. Is it possible to load fuel only in rear tank? I dont know any function for that. Edit: Never mind. The rear tank is already empty with 50% fuel.

Once I saw a documentation about the FW and a Luftwaffe pilot said, that the 190A even could outturn a 109. He was old but did not seem to be senile. So I have the same feeling about that. But maybe there is a huge difference between the Anton and Dora.

Actually I am working on a model of a Fw190A8 just for fun but now I saw this and I am depressed. How long did this take?

No there are no ingame settings for that. There was a mod made by Mustang which switches them off. But this mod doesnt work anymore. No idea why.

Yes the latency which is low as possible is very important. There two another things come into my mind: 1. Try to get a TV with a low clouding (inhomogeneous backlight) or take an OLED. 2. A higher panel input frequency is a huge advantage. Most TVs only support 60Hz input. 100Hz or even above may reduce micro juddering while using a headtracker.

I have no idea but I hope not. I guess it would be useful to know, what exactly ED understands as "fraud". When unexceptional all keys, which were purchased outside the ED-shop will be blacklisted one day, dark times will come to the DCS-community.
