That is VERY handy, thanks!!

Which SU is the OP referring to?

Have a look at what is running in the system when it is slow and when it is fast; maybe you have something in the background stealing cycles?

Something like these, perhaps?? http://www.chproducts.com/Multi-Function-Panels-v13-p-182.html#5

There is the rather nice Su-25T already included, which makes the fun steps of initial learning all those simulator flight bits very economical, i.e. free. The Su-25T has an incredible amount of user support as well, lots of 'how-to's' sprinkled about pretty much everywhere you search for DCS videos. In fact, that is how I did this whole DCS thing; got my feet wet with the Sue, and bought various models after that. You'll pretty quickly see what level of complexity will suit you that way.

Happy Birthday to a very fine gentleman!!

Bill Gunston wrote a nice monograph on the MiG-21, including the PFM, and I believe he is a relatively noteworthy writer; it was published by the Osprey Air Combat series of books.

Thanks for posting something useful, even if it is not absolutely accurate: https://video.search.yahoo.com/video/play;_ylt=A86.JyR08dlUDQMAOyEnnIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTB0aWRtNmFyBHNlYwNzYwRjb2xvA2dxMQR2dGlkA1lIUzAwMV8x?p=haters+gonna+hate+hate+hate&tnr=21&vid=9B45617CBFD0D0263EF49B45617CBFD0D0263EF4&l=242&turl=http%3A%2F%2Fts3.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DUN.607999775654545622%26pid%3D15.1&sigi=11rb5a2t1&rurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DnfWlot6h_JM&sigr=11bqgnqtv&tt=b&tit=Taylor+Swift+-+Shake+It+Off&sigt=10r361aol&back=https%3A%2F%2Fsearch.yahoo.com%2Fyhs%2Fsearch%3Fp%3Dhaters%2Bgonna%2Bhate%2Bhate%2Bhate%26ei%3DUTF-8%26hsimp%3Dyhs-001%26hspart%3Dmozilla&sigb=137euod82&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-001 Haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate!!

I want a SPAD XIII.

"Stillness in Time" is the campaign listed under MiG-21.

From LNS' perspective, I wonder if they even need a website of their own; this one serves most of their purposes pretty well.

K-4 is now showing correct sale price in cart.

The K-4 is not showing this sale price...it still adds to cart @ $39.99.

I think Microprose did an F14, back in the day...at the time, they were as close to simulators as the PC got... "Fleet Defender" was the title.

bf109K-4 please, that would be a Grand Surprise!! Thanks for running the give-away; very generous for you to do that; good cheer to you and yours!

I think you are asking for software to edit *.psd files? These are Photoshop image format files. If so, try any program that can edit native Photoshop images; I believe that the free image editing program Gimp does, among many others.

Thank you. Now I just have to figure out which one is applied to which aircraft, and I should be set. I am very interested in the difference between what players can use, when they occupy the cockpit, and what the AI uses; it gives me a better idea about how to create combinations that are fun without being boring or overwhelming. Much appreciated, all!

Very nice gesture; Happy Holidays to you and yours!!

Thank you, that clears up part of the question for me: all AI vehicles use the FC3 AI model. Can you tell me a little bit more about the differences between AFM, PFM, SFM and EFM? In other words, what should I be looking for in an Su-27 with the PFM and the F15C with the AFM, or the MiG-21 with the EFM? Are they pretty much the same flight model, with differences for the aircraft type, or are they real performance differences, regardless of which aircraft is associated with the specific flight model? Can I chose which flight model I'd like to use with any given aircraft? For instance, can I fly the Su-27 with the SFM rather than the newer PFM?

I am wondering what the effect of different flight models, for different aircraft, has on DCS World play. 1) For instance, if the Su-27 now has the "professional level flight model" does that have an effect on how the AI flies the plane, or only an effect on how I experience the flight of the plane when I use it? How does it compare to the "F-15C AFM"? 2) If I wanted, as another example, to fly the MiG-21 module, what kind of AI flight performance can I expect from an AI-driven F4? 3) I've seen, variously, AFM, SFM and EFM mentioned, but I really don't know when I will be affected by them as I set up different scenarios to play. My goal is to keep the playing field fairly even, me against 'them', but I am beginning to wonder if choosing an aircraft that has a more realistic flight model, like the Su-27 or F-15C, puts me at a handicap with the AI opponents. For instance, I've seen some pretty spectacular AI F4 flying against the player MiG-21 in knife-fight range, which was surprising. If I want to fly a balanced mission, from player/AI pilot-capability point-of-view, would I get better results if I chose a MiG-29 (since it flies the older FC3 fight model {I think}) against an AI-driven Su-27? By that, I mean, would I get closer to real-world interactions between such opponents? I do not mean would they perform equally, (I expect differing capabilities from the Su-27 versus the MiG-29) only that the relative characteristics of each would be as expected in a real-world confrontation. Just trying to figure out this rapidly-changing landscape. :helpsmilie: p.s. I am not interested in the characteristics of various PvP match ups, thanks.
