#Metoo

I agree on all your observations yet I'm hesitant to pass any judgement on the flight model of the Mi-8. Because I can remember how hard it was in the beginning...and now, having flown it almost too much, I'd say my judgement is clouded. I mean the Mi-8 is a very nice bird today, for me...but tinkering with the flight model? Not sure about that.

I had stutters even taxing on the tarmac. Finally got fed up and turned down resolution from 1440 to 1080. Made a HUGE difference. Not a real fix, I know...but you can turn up a lot of the graphics options having switched to 1080. For me, it looks pretty and I have no stutter.

yes

No pixels were hurt in this vid.

Now all of a sudden I get way better performance. I can use my old settings apart from having the pre-load radius at half. Either my computer just got healthy again or the sneaky russians sneaked in a top secret update in the latest patch. Settings can be seen after 4:46

Dude, this seems a lot easier, better, more efficient than my percentage bullshit. Thanks för sharing :clap_2:

OOOPPPPS! Dats right....Mongo sorry :(

Here's Mongo's contribution. Four groups of tanks, but only one will spawn. Three of them are identical and the fourth is a dangerous ambush force (farce?). Had terrible problems making the spawns as balanced as possible but I guess it don't matter too much - I mean this works now. RandomSpawn.miz

As requested by Can Kiziroglu :joystick:

Setting terrain textures to low, preload radius to 50%, resolution to 1080 and well, turning down a lot of other stuff as well...THAT made Syria work for me, without any single stutter. i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz (4 cores, 8 logical processors) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 32GB RAM Samsung 1TB SSD for OS Samsung 500GB SSD for recording Samsung 4TB SSD for sims

People complain about DCS not being good for WWII, lacking this, not having that etc. But I gotta say, the aircraft are a blast to fly. And because they're so hard to handle, they give such great satisfaction when you get the hang of them :joystick:

I'm with you on this one, 100% :) These tracks worked flawlessly until somewhere back in 2015. Because they did something. And they haven't been able to undo that something. But...tracks work a LOT better now than they did a year ago. For the simplest of missions that is. AI ground units are the worst for replays, especially if you don't restrict them. Yeah, disable their ability to disperse and you'll have better tracks to show. Because all track files are just re-simulations, NOT replays. Maybe that's the problem. Hell, maybe that's what they need to adress? :joystick:

[EDIT] Vid was deleted by Youtube for...get this...."hate rhetoric". I've appealed against their decision. I've even asked them to describe their thought process, like how did they reach that conclusion? Vid had a short sound clip from an old german news reel, that's all. And since I know german there was no such thing included as "hate rhetoric" in it. Yeah well, Youtube are communists. Wish me luck ;) ------------------------------------------------------------ I know, the leather straps should be changed to canvas webbing and the jack boots to desert boots. But hey, at least I try!!! ;)

Same for me, OBS has these short snags/fits coming every now and then. No matter how I tune it. FRAPS works just fine but it's very hard on the CPU so I can only record with it at 1080 resolution.

On a positive note, I've noticed a a LOT of aircraft function quite well with the track files now, meaning I can watch my suave flying in "replays". And post vids about how cool I am :) Only one giving me problems is the Huey (and perhaps the Mi-EIGHT). It doesn't land where I landed in the mission. And it fires rockets way off target in the tracks... But aaanyways, this is one helluva combat-sim. Glad to see new maps too, might mean we get a map of Nam someday ;)

No

Yeah, I'm getting flashbacks already. And I wasn't even there! :helpsmilie:

I'd pay for a Huey with miniguns properly placed by the big doors instead of right beside the pilots. Also, it could be fun to have twin-sixties at each door instead of miniguns. And how about that 40mm blooper in the front? Perhaps make the cockpit more dirty as well. Last but not least, it'd be total awesomeness to get either the old B- or C-model for gunship duty. BOTTOM LINE: More Nam stuff, less modern blah blah. Because Nam!

THIS! :thumbup: BOOM!!!

Left wheel brake is controlled by left pedal. Right wheel brake is controlled by right pedal.

Top expert precision bombing Is good fun :thumbup:

Steering button needs to be pressed all the time for active steering. When button is released, nosewheel will be "stuck" at the position of release. And that's that.

I want bombs :)
