  1. What about 3D tv's? Is that possible with DCS?
  2. CW 'Mover' Lemoine did a review of the Pimax with DCS just 3 weeks ago and even with a 4090 GFX card was only barely getting 40 - 50fps. In a busy campaign like Debden Eagles most systems would slow to a crawl. My moderate rig slows right down just doing 4k.
  3. Okay, last time I checked VR resolution wasn't good enough to read the dials. Has that now changed? Does it require £6000 worth of gear to make it happen? Does VR give you a much better sense of scale?
  4. I was at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford for the first time yesterday. Absolutely stunning. One thing I was amazed by was just how massive some these aircraft are. The F-4 Phantom II for example, is intimidatingly big in person. That sense of scale just isn't there with DCS. I wonder what could be done to improve that. Lighting , shadows and camera angles must be a huge factor. The level of detail in the DCS models is better than it has ever been (Heatblur's upcoming Phantom II for example), but they still somehow don't manage to convey scale. My wish is that this is somehow improved. No easy feat I grant you.
  5. NOOB ALTERT: If you're in EMCOM and 'zip-lipped', do you trap in total silence? How does the boat know what trap weight to set on the arrester wires?
  6. Cobweb Blue 3 & 4 didn't take off on my first attempt at Mission 10. Perhaps I jumped the gun on the rollout. I taxied after my flight lead: QP-L . It doesn't seem to impede mission progress. A couple of references are made to Blue 3 & 4 throughout the mission, but of course they weren't present on this occasion.
  7. @-0303- Thank you for your brilliant comprehensive systems check. Would you please do a similar check on external fuel tanks? In some cases it seems full ext tank weight is modelled, but the fuel load is actually only in one tank, and/or twice as much fuel in one ext tank and nothing in the other. Sounds strange, but it feels like something's not right.
  8. Why can't I save the mission in the ME once I've made the alteration? I know, my fault for not getting my hands dirty in the ME before now.
  9. TARPS goes on Pylon 5. It's there and it looks amazing.
  10. Perhaps the boarding ladder is not deployed by default, but has to be manually selected by the mission creator in the mission editor.
  11. Santa didn't bring me a boarding ladder for Xmas He did however bring me a rare hardcover copy of The Cutting Edge, by CJ 'Heater' Heatley. What a mensch!
  12. There are a few long-term issues that still need fixing/finishing with the Tomcat, the fire extinguisher system being one of them. I suspect some stuff will be solved by porting over work done on the F-4. Improvements to Jester for example.
  13. "It's like the inside of a f**king basketball." On my way home in mission 1 and the campaign already has a fantastically authentic feeling atmosphere. Thanks Reflected for all your amazing work. It really helps you appreciate how incredibly brave these men were.
  14. I think this is still a thing. Just noticed my right brake is not locking the wheel. Left works fine.
  15. I always wanted random mechanical failures implemented by default
