  1. I'm a little confused after watching the recent video by Wags. They mentioned several big bugs in 1.5 in this video and I'm wondering if these are the same stability bugs they have mentioned in the past? I also heard Matt say that they hoped to have 1.5 out by the end of this month. Does this mean 1.5 is not certain to be be released by the end of month anymore? Also, if 1.5 was delayed could it also mean that NTTR might also be delayed further? I was going to pre order NTTR map, but I'm a bit hesitant without knowing it will be defiantly out in November. Are there no guarantees? Thanks!
  2. I thinks it's because intel never told you it was good to overclock back then. Now with Skylake they never stop talking about the i7 6700 overclocking ability. I don't even use liquid cooling on my i7 930, I just bought a big heatsink & fan and it's lasted 4 years and is still going strong. Usually I hit 70C in games, but I heard they can run at 90C and still have no problems. Not that I's want to run it at 90C though.
  3. Why are you running it at stock speed when the i7 920 is a good overclocker? You could be getting 4.0 Ghz with that i7 920. I have the i7 930 and have had it overclocked to 4.1 Ghz for the last 4 years with no problems.
  4. I think you'll find a skylake i7 6700k is a minimum 20% more powerful then your 2600k and 30% faster at times. That's 20fps to 30fps more in games that rely on the Cpu more. Take a look at the link I posted below. Edit:
  5. So how long do we stay at 2GB of VRam if more could improve a game? I'm afraid things don't work the way you want them to. The game industry wants to move forwards. I know hardware can be expensive for some, but where not even talking about brand new hardware here. DCS is using 2GB of Vram to improve their game and these Graphics Cards have been out for sometime now. I think they have given people plenty of time to upgrade to something more suitable for gaming. Why are you worried that they will go over the 2GB mark? Because at some point in the future you might need more Vram for DCS. We've now got cards with 6GB Vram and I'd say you're lucky this isn't something like Assassins Creed where you need that. At some point in the future you might need it for DCS though so I wouldn't stay on 2GB for ever.
  6. Sorry, but this is where I think you are totally wrong. How are sims or games supposed to progress if everything stays still? You would get more people complaining that the game industry was staying still while they paid for new hardware. It's not like 2GB of VRam is something new either. I mean, Graphics cards with 2GB of VRam and more have been out for how many years now?
  7. Yeah, but look at the fun you have flying all these lovely planes. My oldman pays £800 a year to hit a ball around a golf course :) I'm hoping my i7 930 still holds up otherwise it's a new Pc for me :helpsmilie:
  8. I was meaning for PC games in general, but you're right when it comes to just DCS. I know DCS is more about Cpu then Gpu, but I'm looking forward so see if that changes with 1.5 & 2.0. When you consider people pay £400 for a new console though, I wouldn't call a Geforce 970 expensive. Having to buy a whole new PC is expensive, but my i7 930 overcocked to 4.0 Ghz has served me well for DCS for the last 4 years.
  9. Like I said if people are serious about PC gaming you must move with the times. Even Xbox and PlayStation bring out new consoles to replace their old ones. Don't get stuck in the past if you want to game on the PC, just go buy yourself a Geforce 970. The Geforce 970 GTX doesn't cost the earth either like other Nvidia card have in the past.
  10. I think a Geforce 970 GTX is cheap for anyone wanting to PC game today. I think anything less and you're going to be left behind. You can pick up a Geforce 680 GTX on ebay dirt cheap, but I wouldn't recommend anything less then that today.
  11. Who are you asking when you ask what DCS's thoughts are on supporting this new controller? If it's the Wags you're asking, I don't think they will give you an answer here. I'm still waiting to see what they have done with the Rift itself since a lot of questions remain unanswered. Nobody even knows what 1.5 will bring regarding FPS and if it will be good enough to make the Rift worth while. I have really bad judder and I'm hoping 1.5 can eliminate that.
  12. Yeah, but why wouldn't you just say that instead of saying you had some good news to be announced soon? It's certainly caused alot of speculation.
  13. Might be best to give us news when something happens. I think you might of mistook this news to mean NTTR is about to be released. When in-fact "good news" could mean any number of things :thumbup:
  14. Will this be released on a weekend or could it be released any day now?
  15. Any videos on the new skeleton animation for infantry in 1.5?
  16. I know this that's why I wrote that I'm pleased ED are making things more visible in 1.5. I think it's more of a cheat as it is now in DCS. Where someone can just pop up from nowhere without you seeing them and pepper your butt. I'm really looking forward to 1.5 and some good dogfights.
  17. I've seen a lot of topics about people not been able to see objects at distance and now ED have done something about it. If people still want to fly at normal settings when enlarged gives them an advantage then that's up to them. I know what I'll be choosing though and it won't be normal settings if others are using enlarged. Why would anyone want to use normal if enlarge looks better and gives you an advantage?
  18. Where did you read about it been after Sept 10th? the last I heard it was just September and no exact date.
  19. I'm in the UnitedKingdom, so where would I buy this seat? Thanks!
  20. Thanks for the reply. Do you use a Bass Shaker and are they any good when flying jets? Does it like rumble as you fly or does it do it on just explosions and things like that? I'm hoping it rumbles along as you fly, but I've no idea what it will be like.
  21. Can someone tell me what I'll need to setup a Bass shaker for DCS World and if it works well with DCS? My soundcard is a Creative xtreme gamer, but what else do I need to set this up. Thanks!
  22. I was asking because I was going to purchase that new aircraft L-39 and has a feeling it would be released with 1.5. I get paid at the end of this month, but I guess I'll enjoy a night out instead and purchase at a later date if I don't have the funds right away. I do my own cooking so no need to ask my mum when my dinners ready :)
  23. So is 1.5 due out at the beginning of Sept or the end of Sept? Will they just release it without giving use a date in Sept first?
  24. Yeah, but I don't want it been a nightmare to fly if I can't get it accurate enough using these settings. Now I'm thinking I may need an extension to the Hotas Warhog, but I can't seem to find a place that sells them in the UnitedKingdom.
