Nvidia RTX cards and DCS - ?
ctguy1955 replied to 0414 Wee Neal's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
This is such an exciting time as I have been using SLI 680 4 gigs now for the past 5 years and I purchased a Evga 1080Ti FTW3 DT and am using three monitors in 5860 x 1080 mode for DCS. I guess DCS being Direct X 11 is really slowing down many systems but I felt it is the best flight sim and I invested a lot of money into building a nice system 5 years ago and now its time to upgrade My GPU. As I have 87 more days to participate in the "Step Up" program, I just had to at least purchase what I could when the mining overwrought MSDS prices came down. I want to purchase a Vive soon to use with DCS and cant help but wonder if I should not just sell My two 680 cards with waterblocks attached and make up the difference in price of the 2080Ti ????? -

Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog joystick spring mod
ctguy1955 replied to Vivoune's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I never did see an answer to this and I have LOTS of large and small and medium ( what else is there ?) as I was an electrician for 35 years. I went to lowes and replaced the bottom 4 springs with compression springs but others on a Frontier site for elite dangerous mentioned a set of springs that are not compression and I don't see how they can work. -

TM Warthog HOTAS lights of at boot up?
ctguy1955 replied to Asp's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+LED(&Throttle, LED_INTENSITY, 0)); I am not sure how to run this in script ? thanks for any help. -
I use My joystick on my desk, to put less then 5 inches on, I cant use it on floor. I know I can buy several extensions and join them, but now the cost goes way up. I was thinking about doing something with the main spring using tyraps or something.... Flying the Huey is not fun with the stiffness that the joystick has.

I have 32 bucks in bonus points, and was going to see if I could buy the Mirage but it did not allow for any bonus points at all. I know its 50% off but can You only use bonus points when no sale is available ????

That Youtube link does not seem to be working any longer ?

I would really like to see the MIZ file if Your willing to share it !!!! I just flew in the Huey for about the best 40 min flight I have ever had with sun and rain and mountains and I am looking for a way to convert to Youtube as well.

6 1/2 years and no other thoughts on this ? the P40 does not interest me unless I am reading about George Welsh, but the Corsair F4U is a personal favorite. F4 Phantom too !

Glad You posted this, I learned something useful -
I am going nuts with the Maverick. I cant get rid of the four diagonal lines on HUD and I know I have 4 mavericks on My rails. I am including my last TRK file as I finally got the AGM to appear on the place its suppose to and I Cage/uncage does nothing. I have watched many videos and the new tutorial by Chuck Owl and am going nuts !!!! So many hours trying to get one to fire. Also I cannot get my harrier controls to ever stay saved and have to set them up every time. The trk file seems to be a gif, so no joy might be over 5 megs, I dont know no Maverick.trk

Trouble loading/saving profiles
ctguy1955 replied to Xanatos4's topic in Release Version Bugs and Problems (Read only)
hitting OK does not save the controls for Me I have to re do ALL my controls every time I play. When I save the warthog joystick, I can then load the joystick and its fine. But every time I turn DCS on, both the Throttle and pedals are loaded with stuff I do not want. So after reading this, I guess I have to save each one, one at a time as setting everything up and then clicking save does not save the pedals or throttle. I am mostly flying the harrier and just wish I could figure this out. I have not tried going into any saved game area and looking for lua files so any help would be much appreciated. -
Problem with warthog throttle
ctguy1955 replied to Fopeyducker's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
New Egg sent me a throttle that did not work right from the get go. I liked the joystick and did not want to send the hotas back to new egg so TM sent me the green card. I installed it and most buttons worked for Dora, but later on when I got into jets, I needed more buttons and then found out that the entire right side of the upper throttle did nothing. TM said I was 4 days late after my warranty and I have to pay 60 bucks to have them look at it plus shipping. The throttle also started to only work from 90-100 % thrust and so I started using my 20 year old Saitek X35T. TM really sucked that I was 4 days late when it was broken when I got it and it took more then 4 days to get the green card to even be able to use it when I first received it. -
I just did the second hotfix, and this is happening to me as well FIX= rename mission editor to something else and restart DCSW Thanks to: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/980/

Before 2.5 all three versions crashed so much I was really going nuts. Now with 2.5 I can sometimes play for a half hour or more, and no crash, just total freeze with sound playing. Skatezillas gui program has been a Godsend and really improved realiability of the game not crashing after startup ( old three versions), and I am thankful He made it. ED has done a great job, and I thank them for all the hard work.

I am very excited and looking forward to playing the new 2.5 and having everything all in one area. I do not know if it will help with any of my crashing problems, but I can only hope. I started to think that my old 4 gig 680 gpus were causing all of my problems and that if I bought a 1080ti that it may solve whatever driver issue I have, but try and find a 1080ti right now for the normal price of 699 I know one thing for sure, if I could get my hands on a 1080ti, within one month they would come out with a 2080ti that would have a 130% better performance ratio and I would be going nuts. EVGA used to have a upgrade policy, but I have not bought a new gpu in 4 years as I have not needed one. Time will tell !! Thank You so much for the update on how the upgrade to 2.5 will happen.
-
I have also had this happen over and over again for months now. I can at least use open alpha for awhile before it happens and I hope and pray that when 2.5 is released and everything is put in one place and I can erase the other three versions that not only will I get back an entire 120 gig hard drive, I hope things will get better and not worse. Flight Sims have been a large part of me spending thousands of dollars building my water cooled pc and DCSW is the best flight sim in the WORLD as far as I am concerned and I look forward to the big update !!! dcslog.txt
