Thanks for the info guys... I guess I was concerned that the ultra wide wouldn't offer enough height to the view.... Regards, Scott

Hi Folks, New around here - been thinking of giving up my beloved 4:3 monitors for a wide screen to get more peripheral vision in DCS... I was thinking about trying this ASUS product with a - really - wide aspect ratio... Has anyone tried this model and does it work well with DCS ? I'm sticking to a single monitor solution but I want one that works well with DCS - any thoughts or suggestions ? My current specs: Intel Core i7-2700K Sandy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 BX80623i72700K GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H-WB LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 EVGA 025-P3-1579-AR GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) HD 2560MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card Noctua NH-C12P SE14 140mm SSO CPU Cooler PC Power and Cooling Silencer Mk II 750W High Performance 80PLUS Silver SLI CrossFire ready Power Supply (2) SAMSUNG 830 Series MZ-7PC256B/WW 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) Western Digital WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit Regards, Scott

I've used CH since the game port days - that does sound abnormal... Have you tried the full remove and restore process - I think it's one of the options under your CH menu... Regards, Scott

Hi Art, Thanks for the additional suggestions - I'll start poking around in the Mods forum... Regards, Scott

Hi Folks, Thanks for the tips... Yeah - all my questions are geared towards DCSW... I picked up the Warthog - the Sabre - and - the Huey at the sale - figured it's plenty to get my feet wet... I used to enjoy Rowen's Mig Alley - so I'm hoping to recreate some of that enjoyment now with DCS while I wait on my Tomcat... Again - thanks... Regards, Scott

Hi Folks, Is it OK to piggyback on this thread ? Another NEWB - the FLASH sale and noticing the development of an F-14 enticed me to take the plunge - although I'm intimately familiar with MSFS - and - fairly familiar with BMS Falcon - DCS is only days old on my drive... Been avidly reading what I can... Question - is it better to be running the official release - or are the beta's stable enough to use all the time ? Is there a canned list of DCS addons that most people run to get vanilla modded to your typical user level ? I've noticed mention of some texture upgrades but I don't see a file library to sort through - are there just not that many addons available ( talking more tools and base world upgrades than planes ) Are there any other theaters available besides the default ? Anyway - thanks for your time - appreciate any input... Regards, Scott
