You should find that ERs don't lose lock as often as in FC1, as they have been given substantially better resistance to chaff. That said the launching AC radar can still be notched if you are not careful.

You certain it is affected by framerate? If you use the radar cursor with buttons, is that also affected by framerate?

The slip-ball can be confusing, because what it actually shows is the acceleration experienced by the AC. Thus you can be momentarily flying in a straight line without sideslip but having sideways acceleration. The ball will show drift because you are very slowly turning. Observe your exact heading and you will see it change. You are flying in a huge circle :) I didn't understand this at first and thought there was some bug to it, before I realized it had to do with the Ka-50 being assymetric.

Forwarded the request of custom or reduced chatbox size in MP. Can't promise anything, just want to make sure they know people are asking for it.

I sort of miss the all-amraam payload from the rearm menu, but if server admins want such a payload available they can always set it as the default payload for the mission.

Great, will definitely use this mod :)

Interesting, i've experienced the complete opposite :), I always got way better performance in missions with lots of ground units measuring time-between-frames(stutter measurement) rather than framerate. I'll see if we can get the full explanation from the devs on what these values do in the game(not only what they seem to do).

I'd say there are two reasons why most/all people will experience less fps. The first reason is that fc2 starts with a lot more detail on by defult, such as high resolution ground textures, advanced haze(fps killer in fc1) and significantly higher clipping distances. For me I actually get higher fps in fc2 vs fc1 if I remove all this extra stuff from fc2.(but I like the new detail levels) The second reason is that fc1 has been out so long that virtually everyone has installed some form of fps mods or made adjustments themselves to it to improve fps. Do this to fc2 and you will also see improvements there. Currently i think I have about the same fps in fc2 as in fc1 after some tweaks, but a LOT better graphics in fc2 than fc1 :)

This can be done through the lua server interface i think. More investigation required by someone willing.

Thank you! I updated the guide

Many thanks Route! But i think you forgto to attach the file hehe, I would really like to use your fix though!

yes

Using LEAVU2 here with a friend:

i think this might be related to an old stuck-in-chat bug, but im not sure. When this happens next time, try: ENTER TILDE ENTER please let me know if it makes a difference, then I could report it as a bug

I use only keyboard from joystick/throttle. I havent changed even 1 key ingame

Hey you're right, it is 1 000 000 in FC 1.12 :)

Do you have a track of this? It would be very useful. Look in your /Temp/ folder for track files starting with "client-".

nice guide, I went through it and made a few adjustments to my own settings :)

I have a large case and live in a cold country EDIT: OMG 480 requires 120W more power than 5870?... Ok....this is bad......I really need to see a DCS/Fc2 test before I decide which one to buy EDIT 2: the 480 seems too loud...makes me think of the old nvidia 5 series ;)

Hehe, but it doesn't matter if we had to wait does it? It only matters what is best now :) But the review at anandtech looks really nice. 480 is kickin 5870 in the ****, and I guess the 5970 wont help for FC2/DCS or can DCS do crossfire?

Currently my fc2 fps is limited by my GPU, so I need to upgrade, but I don't know what to pick. I'm looking for advice if anyone knows which one of these monsters could run DCS/FC2 the fastest: Whether to buy the HD5870 or GTX480 I also program some OpenCL and ATi's support in there is rather crappy(they haven't implemented the entire OpenCL specification yet for example) so I'm leaning towards nvidia, but I have not made up my mind yet. Looking for suggestions. Has anybody compared HD5870 vs HD4870 in FC2 or DCS? What was your take of it? Does anyone know if FC2/DCS supports crossfire/the equivalent for the 5970? (I dont want to buy a 5970 and find out it runs like a 5870 :))

Go into /Config/Input/ and copy the folder for the plane you want to save.

Some settings are still in graphics.cfg. But many of the things are ignored LOD Settings and clipping planes ARE in graphics.cfg Screen resolution and aspect ARE NOT in graphcs.cfg

Weapons files and flight models files should be checked. /Config/Config.lua should also be checked to disable global lua exports (No real time tacview please!) /Config/Export.lua should be left alone for people with home pits imo, but it's ofc up to server admins to decide for themselves.

You can however force modellod. Turns out it barely affected my tweak anyway, so I wouldnt mind that.
