I want to go to Las Vegas! I'm far too poor to get there myself :P

Bombing and Gunnery Competition - Nov 2015
Hobbnob replied to Bunyap's topic in Tournaments & Events
Cool! Here's my (Hobbnob) entry into the bombing competition. I must apologise for the length, I had a catastrophic failure after first release and had to restart/realign midflight :) The Entry Unfortunately it's also a track file, tacview works fine for 1.2 but doesn't record anything from 1.5 for some reason -

I'm new to all this so feedback would be very much appreciated! :) -
HawgsLIHV Fall Campaign for A-10C
Hobbnob replied to shyjonathan1588's topic in User Created Missions General
I don't suppose anyone has a download for this? The original site is down and I can't find it anywhere else :) -
Voted other because I would also most like to see an improvement in combined arms fidelity :)

Operation "Blue Flag" - 24/7 PvP Campaign - ROUND 4
Hobbnob replied to gregzagk's topic in Multiplayer
Im pleased to hear CTLD is on the way to blue flag, its going to make helis much more valuable but challenging if they can deploy complex aa or radar if they can slingload effectively. Congrats to the mvp's too, I would have gotten more flighttime in the short time we were active but alas the real world got in the way :p -

Held down the TO trim button for a little longer and passed BFT01 with a Q first time, thanks for the help! -
Flight Qualifications Campaign
Hobbnob replied to Sabre-TLA's topic in A-10C Basic Flight Training Qualification DLC
Hey, I'm currently starting out on the BFT A10C campaign and loving it, amazing work! I've only noticed one issue, when running BFT01 on DCS 1.2 it doesn't seem to recognise that I'm pressing the T/O trim button and fails me on it each time even though I've pressed it and verified that the light came on. I thought I might have done something in the wrong order so I ran the practice mission for BFT01 and followed it to the letter and still got failed on it. I decided to skip it and run BFT02 instead, got a Q- on the second run which I'm super happy with, but one point of improvement would be that I managed to forget to turn the APU off (I was focussing far too much on improving my performance that I forgot to start up properly haha) and the IP didn't pick up on it :) Other than those small things I've found these missions are absolutely incredible, I really like the way the IP actually picks up on individual errors and audibly tells me what I've done wrong, I've been hesitating on buying this campaign for ages because I didn't feel competent enough with the airframe but the way it's made gives you clear points for improvement, I wholeheartedly recommend this for anyone that wants to get better with the warthog :D -
Multiplayer only: Heavy CPU lag for first 10 minutes
Hobbnob replied to Hobbnob's topic in Game Performance
Hey guys, just checking in to say that once I upgraded from 4GB of RAM to 12 the game ran like a dream and I no longer have any issues at all with DCS online :) -
Multiplayer only: Heavy CPU lag for first 10 minutes
Hobbnob replied to Hobbnob's topic in Game Performance
Landline broadband access, I'm not sure what VGA is so can't comment on that but I've enlarged my paging file slightly since it was hampering my music work. Could it be the computer accessing this that's causing my slowdown? It's important to clarify that I have absolutely no slowdown in any singleplayer missions :) -
Multiplayer only: Heavy CPU lag for first 10 minutes
Hobbnob replied to Hobbnob's topic in Game Performance
I reinstalled today, no luck. One thing I forgot to mention was that I had an odd incident where everything was fine a week ago. I'd loaded into a server but something went wrong with my internet and I got kicked. When I loaded back in, everything ran silky smooth and showed no signs of any issues. I could scroll, select things and do everything a normal player can do. -
Multiplayer only: Heavy CPU lag for first 10 minutes
Hobbnob replied to Hobbnob's topic in Game Performance
Thanks for the suggestions fellas! To respond: Ping: Pingplotter was uncooperative even after opening the firewall (I'm using avast AV with windows firewall) but I'm relatively certain it's not a network issue as I'm unable to scroll or navigate menu's properly when I'm in a server. AV: I've added DCS world to avast's exceptions list and restarted the pc and game but to no avail. RAM: It's possible that it's the culprit, however the task manager is only showing 2.1gb usage which is slightly below some of the other games I run without issue (arma 3, project cars being the main ones) I actually haven't tried a reinstall yet as the download size makes me pale (especially when you include the aircraft I purchased ie nearly all of them) but I'll consider it if there are no more ideas tomorrow. Thanks for all your suggestions so far guys, it's great to see a community aiding a crippled pilot :) -
Hey guys, so I've had this issue since installing DCS a few years back where I would be fine in singleplayer but multiplayer would start lagging as soon as I got into a server. I never thought anything of it, but recently a friend with a similar spec pc to mine got dcs as well and is having no issues. What I'm getting isn't internet lag. The aircraft selection lists consist of scrolling, waiting 30-40 seconds for a response, then scrolling again and repeating over and over until I see the aircraft I want, then clicking, waiting more, then pressing briefing waiting more etc etc you get the idea. This happens for the first 10-15 minutes of gameplayer where it'll be a slideshow, so I just leave the computer for a while and occasionally move the mouse to check that it's still frozen. After that it will be absolutely fine, running everything silky smooth apart from a slight stutter when someone new loads in. Here are my specs, thanks for any help :) i5 4570 3.2ghz 4gb DDR3 RAM GTX760 2GB GPU 20MB internet

Mi-8 Basic Flight Assessment(BFA)
Hobbnob replied to Hobbnob's topic in User Created Missions General
Hmmm random nav test locations is an interesting prospect, gonna have to look into that one. I did consider "find x building in the city of y" but like you said, there aren't any buildings that really stand out uniquely so it's not really that fair. I actually have no idea if DCS recognises landings on 3d objects, I'm currently using a homebrew mix of triggers to verify landings and it's not quite perfect but it gets the job done. I might see about adapting it to buildings, as an orbit test on a block of flats before landing on it would be a nice challenge, if somewhat unrealistic :P I've begun converting it to the Huey (with some upgrades in the scripting and a new slightly longer nav route) and found a bug in the hover test. I'm not that great in the Huey, to put this in perspective I got a 9.7 on my first hover test. It didn't give me the correct grade though, and I found that very low scores caused mismatches in the grading system. It's since been fixed and will roll out with the next update :)
