im a believer that FFB is a better option as Hydraulic controls only apply to certain aiplanes and you can somewhat simulate it with FFB

i see :)

I have real doubts it will get anywhere close to that gimbal, can't you just have the grip mounted on the gladiator anyways?

i've heard the feel isn't as "crisp" with those belt systems, a reason why direct drive is preferred by many. Im certinly not sure, but maybe this would not be as much of a problem on sticks, as the ffb might not need that "crisp" and very sharp feel to it.

For 600$ for a unit i would say it is a bit far from reaching it.. Next gen won't be the one to do it, maybe the one after will. it needs to be more like 350$-400$. This is the problem, yes a GTX 1080 will become alot cheaper in the future, but there's a reason for that, you'll simply need more to run games. For example, a GTX 670 costs alot less to get your hands on now than what it was on release, but it doesn't play the newly released games today nearly as well as it played the games it was released with back then.. It really depends on what kind of graphics card you'll need i think. If you need better than a rx480 or gtx 1060 price range card for running VR in the future, i do not think it will be adapted by the majority. Becasue, if you're building a computer then you'll need to drop some of the price for graphics card to afford a VR headset, and you might also want a screen in addition.

Point is never that VR won't be a thing, i just doubt it's going to instantly take over fo tracking solutions in a matter of two years.. simply because of the expense.. 5 years is probably a bit more reasonable.

Still good luck beating a single screen in price and performance.. Sure, it'll get more acessible, but you're still not going to get those guys barely got the money to get 1060's or 480's to get it.. too expensive. Everybody was telling me that all evidence looked like majority of people would be gaming on 4k monitors by now, yea.. right..

Give me a few grand and i'll do it.. Seriously, what makes you guys think VR and GTX xx70's or xx80's will suddenly be cheaper for people in a few years? Sure it's going to go down in price and many can get a cheaper set, but majority will still be playing on lesser systems with cheaper joistics looking for a tracking solution. VR is currently 600ish$, Trackir is 120$.. See the difference? Yup you can buy a graphics card and trackir for the price of VR. On the other hand VR needs the best systems possible, and so you probably need a 1070 for 450$. All odds are stacking against VR to become a mainstream product even for those who don't have the money to buy all the new components, flight gear etc..

This would be amazing, personally i probably wouldn't get a new gimbal just for better feel than the warthog, but FFB would definately do it..

Already did :) Baur has been very helpful and fast to answer :)

"190$ (rudder only) to 310$ (w/shipping for Europe)" I am on the lookout for new pedals.. been looking at T-rudder pedals and some others. If i am interpreting these prices correctly i would really like a set for <=300$. Is it possible? i looked at the threads, couldn't find any prices and my russian language knowlege is a bit below the required level. Thanks

Since i think the other replied missed a bit on your question. yes, the plane will be free for anyone to download and use personally or in their servers. It is very unlikely it will be included in any way from the base game, from ED. It will be a seperate download, and those who don't have it will see a placeholder.

Like anticipated, it seems like people have bought the HDK and expected it to be a consumer product and didn't read and follow instructions made by several users on how to set it up properly.. Most threads popping up are on issues another thread right below it explains how to fix.. Can't wait to hear some views on the screen and lenses. Firmware for head tracking was upgraded, and they reported it is much better now

Don't worry, many of us understand. Great to hear that the radar fixes are coming, i really expected them to be in testing for next update, too :) Keep up the good work, i still very much enjoy flying and figthing the MiG-21, and things can only get better in the future! :thumbup:

What? I'd be thuroghly dissapointed if that will be the case..

So, everyone tells me that what i've seen must have been right after restart or some other reason every time. If the balance truly is pretty much 1-1 then i'm happy. But from all i've seen and what i have heard from friends i have yet to see more red than blue as often as the opposite. I live in Europe, so i shouldn't be far off prime time RED. If the hosters of the mission has control on how many registered to each side, why not show us, i hope it's because that's something they don't have. No, im not for RED or BLUE, im against stacking and unfair advantages. Was the battle really that close this time, because it sure didn't seem like it when i was flying. i just checked other opinions in this thread, and i saw a guy posting pictures of the balance on different hour and days, and only a few times was there more REd than BLUE in the timezone that should have favored RED players (if we go by geographic location). This is nothing against the organizers of the server and mission, as some guy claimed. Im simply just a bit disappointed in how it played out. I have enjoyed my time on the server, and there's a reason i return to it every time it is going on. As for the people commenting on my post about whatever type of person i am, go somewhere else. I really hope none of those who worked on it took the criticism i posted earlier as hate, even though one guy in the comments seemed fuzzed about it... I really loved the implementation and use of SimpleRadio As for Ka-50 being complained upon i don't know.. RED have Ka-50, BLUE has M-2000, not same roles, but an advantage for both over the other anyhow. I really think the sa-8 is a bit too much of a nerf, and the Su-25 in my opinion lost quite alot of what it is good for.

It would be highly dependant on type of aircraft i would guess. All books i've looked at for description of aerobatic manouvers for gliding suggest use of aileron when doing a snap-roll. like this To anyone who doesn't get why you would roll opposite to the way you want to snap, here is why If you roll away from the flick, the aileron goes down on the side it will flick making the AoA on that wing greater, and create more drag(Fig D). Neutral means same AoAand drag on both wings, and if you would roll into the direction you want to snap you would be giving the wing a lesser AoA, thus also less drag(Fig B) (Extreme edits: Snap rolls are not done exactly like this for all airplanes. It is very aircraft dependant as to what control inputs you need to make. You just want the plane to rotate fast, stall out (autorotation, really). How you get it doesn't matter that much, it's the result of it that matters.)

Why was there no SA-3's? i mean.. literally everything was on BLUE this time, SU-25 was restircted in the capabilities it is good at, no SA-3's and overall less popular aircraft.. Personally i flew on BLUE only because of Mirage, but it wasn't exactly hard to see what would happen this round.. I think give back SA-3's, some of Su-25's capabilities and it should be fine.. it was really not that great this time playing on a team with huge advantages and more players against RED who had quite little chance to take you down.

With a wingtip (wing/ele/rud) that scewed im not sure anyone would make it :D Fix up your model before you post it dammnit, lol :P

While trying to not sound like a dick, i don't feel very bad for joking around with it really.. They're getting whatever it costs in compensation.. If it was free for everyone i would agree to not push on them.. But it isn't, so in two weeks? Yes :) (jokes within reason of course)

Im not too happy about the power thing.. Im sure its no problem, aftermarkets will have 8pin anyways (nothing says 6-pin cant thake most of the load from the pcie atm even!) Anyone have experiences with crossfire in dcs? Seriously considering 2x RX480 over gtx 1070..

All i can say is that if you are looking to buy a card now that you want to keep for 3 or so years, do consider the 480 over the 970.. Im running a 670, and from what ihave seen the AMD cards seem to have gained performance for much longer than the Nvidia cards do.. While my 670 stopped getting performance increases, old AMD cards are, and still do. Not saying that is bound to happen with the 480 either, but if we follow a trend, the 970 is at peak performance now, and the rx 480 will continue getting better the next 3 years.

Yes, correct.. That benchmark was from hitman, a dx 12 title. The RX 480 seems to perform quite well in dx 12 titles, but lacks a bit more in dx 11 (heyy surprise there AMD... -.-) Point is not to say that it i better than a 980. I believe it's definately not, but rather to show to the people that think it's utter shit that it acually does perform quite well at it's price point. Yes Hitman is optimized for AMD, just like other games might favour Nvidia. Point is that in DX 12, the RX 480 is a respectable card at 200-250$ There you have a benchmark on a more Nvidia optimized game. From wht i have seen of benchmarks i think the RX 480 is in the same area as gtx 970 and r9 390 in DX11, and close to 980 in DX12. Pretty logical as 980 is not at all optimized for DX12, while AMD and RX480 really is.. Personally, looking at the benchmarks it's right around 970 for DX11.. I would personally gladly take the RX 480 over a second hand 970 even if it costs a little more simply because it is more future proof. Got a very good deal on a 970/you only play dx11 games, sure go ahead.. The performance is pretty much equal. These are still only the first days of benchmarks and drivers.. I'd wait a bit before making a choise anyways.. I guess the PCI-E power draw is a bit conserning too (although i have not seen anyone have a problem with it yet, or seen it draw more than a PCI-E can handle..)

I know those facts, but TF does not equal direct performance. AMD saying this card has x amounts of TF is not the same as saying "this card will beat the "..." card in games", that is purely people making conclutions, and hyping it up.. From what i seem to recall i think the fury also had dissapointing performance compared to what the TF would suggest. Don't get me wrong, ofc it's a bloody selling point, but all the this card will beat the other because teraflops thing is purely community hype train..

now be aware that the 980 will beat it in most games atm, but in many dx12 games it should be really close.
