  1. Itlaian extremists?? No, really, no. There is a very interesting, alternative and rather anarchic underground music scene in Rome you may be unaware of. Benson was a celebrated figure in these circles, and this was a performance, not an attack. These launches became routine, it was part of the show (you may note the fishnet for protection against bigger, bulkier objects), and honestly it was really hilarious. At times someone would exaggerate, it happens. It also happens when moshing, and that is a lot more dangerous, if you ask me. No arm was ever intended. Quite fun to be there, too.
  2. Confirmed.. the Caution Light Panel is unreadable. Turning all lights at max brightness, one may faintly see the difference between on and off.
  3. Happened to me too https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4341479&postcount=35
  4. Ah! That would also explain the crashed planes in Batumi (on ground) in BFT03.
  5. on latest beta release, 2.5.6.49314 By the way, great campaign, I am finally having enough time to dig in re-learning the A-10 the proper way, and this series of missions is a huge help!
  6. I am having a problem in mission 2 (take off and EFATO), after start up and taxi towards the runaway. When halting short of the runaway for the final check and take off clearance, as per request, the instructor behind does not slow down and crashes right into me. I hear the "you damaged the aircraft" reproach, followed by a system crash. First time I could shut down DCS from the task manager, second time I had to power the PC down, everything froze. No crash file was created, but the error is reproducible. I am going to try to request clearance while moving and stop on the left side of the runaway.. EDIT: confirmed third time: the instructor goes right to the threshold, ignoring me all together. He then stays there.. I continued before he could ram into me, then the mission proceded without problems
  7. As a workaround, just go ahead and park nearby the refueling truck, it'll trigger the request to switch off the plane :thumbup:
  8. i7 8700K Radeon sw 19.3.1 Radeon Settings Version - 2019.0926.1648.30252 2D Driver Version - 8.1.1.1634 Direct3D® Version - 9.14.10.01410 OpenGL® Version - 26.20.11000.13571 AMD Audio Driver Version - 10.0.1.12 Vulkan™ Driver Version - 2.0.106 Vulkan™ API Version - 1.1.119 There, I copied/pasted everything. Didn't mean to upset or contradict anybody, just stating that mine works fine. Vega 64 and a 5700XT are not the only AMD cards out there ;) Mind you, I have not updated since long, never fix what is not broken..
  9. Reverb + Radeon VII user here. My setup works perfectly, not sure which AMD cards you are referring to.
  10. I have a VII and a Reverb on order since June.. you have no idea how much I would like to help. HP, "quid agis"??
  11. For what I understand, they seem to be pretty much on par when it comes to DCS. But to my knowledge nobody has done any direct comparison, so I may be wrong. As for stability, I did not have any GPU crash-related problem since I got it, except of course when I was fiddling with voltage/frequency. I am now settled at 1000mV/1800MHz, with some great performance after the latest updates in Beta: I rarely go below 70fps and most of the time I'm in the high 80's with almost all maxed out, on an ultrawide 3440x1440. Probably a 2080 would get similar results, with marginal plus or minuses. For me, the choice was dictated by a combination of low price for the VII and a genuine dislike for the counterpart offering. So, there, I can't really help you choosing, just offering my positive review of the VII, it has been nothing but good for me so far. Remember: the fans are loud .. when I play the Witcher (which seems to be a lot more taxing to the GPU than DCS, btw) there is a howling wolf screaming from inside my rig. Luckily, it adds to the atmosphere of the game
  12. Hey guys, for those of you living around Munich: on Saturday 21 July, the DLR (German Aerospace Center) will have an open-doors day. More info here: https://www.dlr.de/dlr/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-11095/1997_read-32804/ Topics range from space exploration to robotics, from optical communications (lasers) to flight experiments etc.. There will be a simulator to try, but nothing too fancy (I am not in charge of it, otherwise I would have assembled a proper DCS station ) Unfortunately all flyers are in German, but everybody speaks English, in case. Location is Wessling-Oberpfaffenhofen, some 30Km south of Munich, take the S7 direction Herrsching and get out in Wessling, there will be a bus to bring you at the entrance (or take a short walk, about 20'). If you come by car, there will be parking lots arranged in the fields in front of DLR facilities.. the perks of being in the countryside! Bring your families, kids, and friends along. There will be a number of "beer spots", plenty of Bavarian food and live music. And if you happen to pass by, drop me a PM, I'd be happy to greet fellow simmers
  13. This. The same in Germany. I've just received an email from HP store offering me a prolonged warranty on the "Reverb VR1000-200nn". It seems many at HP are confused with the naming, when it comes to the consumer version..
  14. .. and that's why one should always buy german tech and go to Italy for holydays, never the way around
  15. You just reminded me of a practical joke we used to do to our not-so-attentive electronics teacher in high school: we would invert the electrolytic capacitors in our small assemblies on purpose just before he would test them... I've learnt rather funny cursing over the years, when those things would pop with a loud bang. We would sometimes design the circuit just to be able to pop those 1 or 2 mF beasts
