  1. Pretty sure it's the new ground textures are making it harder to see targets.
  2. From the rear fire at .7nm or less and break off as quick as you can, if there's multiple tanks I usually take hits from ridiculously accurate gunners. Wags said in one of his 2.0 preview streams a while ago that there was going to be an option in the mission editor to toggle if vehicles will engage aircraft, doesn't look like that feature made it in (yet?) :(
  3. Yup this is a known problem. Once I was in the A-10C about 100ft off the deck in a 90º bank trying to sneak up on a SAM when someone spawned in a 21, into the dirt I went :doh:
  4. I can attest to EVGA's prompt customer service as I'm sending my 970 out today for them to replace because of a quite annoying fan issue :D:( Otherwise my luck with EVGA has been good. I'd still be using BFG cards if they were still in business however.
  5. Use a normal 500lb bomb, GBU-38/12/MK-82, pick your poison. The AI wingmen are good for tasks like this as well.
  6. Set the depressible pipper to (-?)41 and that will give an indication where the TGP is pointing when boresighted in A/A mode.
  7. This ^ I still don't know why most modules do not have compatible TM WH control bindings as they come, with how many people use this HOTAS.
  8. I was never able to get a missile off the rail while I had a lock tone, I was able to launch without tone while pointed at the bandit, the first missile tracked but missed as he turned, the second missile found it's mark.
  9. Personally, I loathe surround, it ruins everything else outside of gaming, makes using multiple browser windows a pain, the start menu will not stay where you put it, you can't fullscreen a video on one monitor, ect. The great thing about DCS is you don't need surround to run multiple monitors. Make sure you left monitor is the main one, then in DCS just type in your resolution in the box and hit enter. I'm also not a fan of the ultrawide main menu in 1.5 when using 3 monitors. In the monitor config LUA you used to be able to make the GUI stuff appear where you wanted it to, now if I try to contain it within the middle screen it completely distorts the main menu,
  10. Looks like a Flanker.
  11. He said it has something to do with the code, which to me sounds like it's something buried pretty deep and would require a lot of work to change.
  12. I know the A-10c pretty much as much as you can. I'm quite proficient with the Mustang and Kurfust, I still find takeoffs and landings in the Dora difficult. Basically I can ramp start, takeoff and land in everything, but don't have in-depth systems knowledge except for those listed above.
  13. I'm making my own on equipment at work but I have discussed this with the company owners as a possible supplemental business. The problem is getting the process down fast enough to be cost effective. My current methods are slow. My panels aren't exactly prototypical either, so that raises the question if people would buy them or not. I did just order some laserable engraving plastic since I'm tired of rotary engraving/doing the color fill and I don't feel like painting acrylic for laser use.
  14. With vsync enabled my rig will regularly lock itself at 30FPS for no reason, it's clearly limiting it. With vsync disabled it doesn't happen.
  15. Oh neat, I figured it was just part of the HUD, I hate those glowing circles :thumbup:
  16. Balls, knew there had to be something cheaper, just hard to search by specs on eBay. I'd like the lit ones but just using this as a normal HID instead of through DCS bios gives me flexibility with other modules (I think it will work for selecting modes on FC3 type aircraft).
  17. These guys here http://www.alliedelec.com/idec-corporation-ab6q-m1p-b/70173293/ Took me a long time to find something the right size for a reasonable price. The UHF and FM homing "lights" are turned out of aluminum, painted black and laser engraved.
  18. Well here's a crappy pic of my NMSP.
  19. I use the Gs almost exclusively now, the warhead will take out several light/non-armored vehicles in reasonably close proximity. If I'm put up against SAMs in my lone A-10, I don't feel bad about using force correlate to take one at out 14nm.
  20. I too have noticed the helios lag but hadn't looked into it yet.
  21. I think I'm going to forego the displays for now. I got an Arduino Mega knockoff that I've been playing with DCS bios making sure I can make everything work how I want, and most of the parts I need to keep going on panels. The radios will be mostly complete now and I'm doing the Lighting Panel too. I'll be using pots for the lights and volume controls and encoders for the radio channel knobs.
  22. I find it's plenty effective, the problem comes when you get close enough to actually destroy one, the other tanks are likely to fill you full of holes in short order. I've practiced a lot and still take hits from the tanks all the time on gun runs, I can dodge Shilkas no problem.
  23. The A-7 looks pretty neat but it looks like the download link is broken at the moment...
  24. Wags said in a video that this feature isn't going to happen anytime soon as the code currently requires DCS to be paused to change button mapping, unfortunately.
