  1. I was under the general impression that they wanted to get rid of pilots and move to uavs more? Or is that just one of those media circulated rumors based on current popular ideals?
  2. The crux of why I stopped playing this game is because of the lack of being able to see anything. I am running a 32 inch screen @ 1920 x 1080 so I've no idea if I'm on the winning or loosing edge of the current system. I only know that without labels I'm pretty much blind as a bat. For the most part I can spot that dirt spec if the lighting is right. Obviously not having TIR is a huge disadvantage in DCS as once you loose the target with the mouse it can be super hard to pick it back up in a quick enough time to have any output of the battle. I don't know how hard it's supposed to be. I can track planes at an air show using binoculars and re-pick them up, but then they're in a fairly predictable pattern. It's hard to know for me if I'm just rubbish at spotting (probably) or if the correct way would even be any use for someone like myself. I guess if you're rubbish at spotting it doesn't matter how good the game makes it hmmm.
  3. Well, at least with 32GB ram you won't need a page file and you can load DCS straight to a RAM disk :lol:
  4. Without being there I'm shooting in the dark really: Either going to be something like the motherboard, power supply (but you tested that) or the switch on the case. If you have a speaker on your motherboard pulling all the RAM out should give you some beep codes which you can then google to find out what they mean. Another issue it could be is the CMOS battery could be dead or dying. Try one from a working pc is a 2 second check. Could even be a short circuit in one of the cables.
  5. 8GB RAM is fine for DCSW, but there is the option to upgrade if you need to. I only get close to using my 16GB when I run VMS for testing stuff (only reason I put the 16GB in there, could use a bit more though ;)) To be fair that's not a bad way to spend $1000.
  6. I remember an early gaming build. I thought I would end up doing two graphics cards so brought a board that could take 3. That never happened. My current machine is more a workstation with a matx board in it and and unlocked i5 with a fairly low end gtx 760 (ocd). I've just got basic kingston ram ddr3 stuff 16gb. It's not bottlenecking (slowing anything down) - I had expensive ram on my last build but never really noticed any difference so I just went with basic branded ram. The Samsung evo ssds are great. The kingston (silver) ones are pretty good too. Get a better power supply bud. The kentek looks a bit naff. Get one of the corsair builder series units. Cost a bit more, but worth it as if the power supply goes pop it can take out other expensive parts. You don't want your $20 power supply exploding after a month taking out your $100 motherboard or destroying your $300 graphics card. Cheap power supplies often won't give out the power they state. As if you couldn't tell I rate a good power supply as much as having a good graphics card or RAM. People often make the mistake spending loads on the cool bits and getting a rubbish power supply and then regretting it a few months or years down the line. Just my 2 cents. Everyone has their own opinion on a pc build from personal experiences good and bad.
  7. I've never played the campaigns in DCSW, but I know from plenty of other single player games how it can be hard to do a perfect run every time and being able to save even once after a really hard bit or even if you simply have to go do other real life stuff. The door rings, the dog needs a pee, the baby is crying, your best friend turns up at random, the wife suddenly decides to get naked... when you gotta go, you gotta or you're like. Dayum woman, I just spent 20 minutes getting to this point and I can't save the game! Personally I wouldn't give up. Seems a waste just to throw in the towel when you've spent that much on something you obviously enjoy (most of the time). Take a break, come back to in a week or a month or so :)
  8. Isn't it: shift + tab - all ctrl + tab - allies
  9. Sometimes modules are released through their website earlier than steam.
  10. The reason you don't play clod is not because you don't like the way clod operates, but because you prefer A/G which DCS is better for. Fair enough now I see your meaning.
  11. Silly question, but since the new map is coming out, will it work in the nav mfd?
  12. If you buy from official website at full price you also get a small discount depending that accumulates if you buy more than one module. This discount is not active for all modules though. Something you don't get from steam. Be careful buying from other non-official vendors as these keys may be cheaper, but there have been lots of reports of such keys being banned without warning and ED support will not help or care in such a case because they have this notice around the website.
  13. But you can do cobra in su27
