My guess is that it's less used now as a result of the type of gameplay that it can inadvertently encourage: Focus on stats and "winning" Drive towards flying the "best plane" Creation of a very non-historic scenario to achieve a semblance of balance Discourages the more historically focused pilot from the server

I can't help but think that the sensible route is to wait until the reviews start coming out. Let's not forget how much BS we've been fed on capabilities of GPUs in the last few years. "We bring you 4090 performance for $500...". Yeah, right. Linked to the above, I don't know who Nvidia has had looking their software side recently, but their update to DLSS, allowing the use of upscaling in VR without making a complete hash of visuals is quite amazing. FSR is going to need a similar smattering of magic to keep up.

For any current AB9 users who are just as useless as myself on staying abreast of Moza news, be aware that the AB9 can now pass through analogue axes data from the thumb stick and brake lever on the Virpil alpha. I’ve no idea when it was introduced, but I’m certainly not complaining. To enable it, just go into DCS and bind the axes. I didn’t have to do anything else.

Apologies for sticking my oar in, but I did think that when the Spitfire or Thunderbolt were introduced, that a comment from ED was that the Warbirds actually made more profit than most of the jets. Note that I’m not trying to state that the “Zero must be made”, just chipping in. I would like to see the zero, but haven’t a problem with it being picked up by another 3rd party.

I think that it was this one: The basics being: Install the latest Nvidia drivers 572.16 (if I remember correctly) Download and unzip NvidiaProfileInspector (latest version). Doesn't matter where you put it as it'll update the core driver Run NVPI The video shows a listing of various settings, and what most confused me was that I didn't have that full list. There's a button on NVPI, I think that it's around the top right of the App, which shows ALL settings, not just the standard ones. Click that and it expands the list Within NVPI, update 5 settings Save That's it.

Hi-fidelity?

It’s a tricky question. If ED had unlimited funds and devs, I’d love to have a better CA experience. However, there are always other priorities, so I’m OK that it’s well down the list. Strikes me that it’s another example of where a 3rd party would be great to have dealing with this, particularly so when you see the effort being put into some other tank sims at the moment.

What are you using for the basis, FC3?

Stop mucking about and put in some 4TB drives

My DCS is now over 3 drives. Saved Games on my DCS full install on an NVME5 2TB DCS server on an NVME4, with symbolics such that both my player and server installs can use the same liveries and mods folders

Being fair to ED, applying the preset is actually a 5 min job once you find the right video to explain the process correctly.

I like that, very cool idea. Just one thought being that you’d probably not regularly change things around, do remember the fun of re binding multiple aircraft controls. All the same, it’s a great move. If it was cross compatible with other manufacturers, it would then also increase the scope of switch, button, display options.

Thanks for confirming. Thats a bit of an “area of opportunity”.

Sorry, I didn't mean whether we had them for real, I meant within DCS.

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but do the WW2 allied AAA have proximity fused shells?

A full fidelity Su25 would be a a great addition.

Would be good if we could. I had a go and couldn't see an obvious way to do it.

My guess for the background on this is that someone in the Soviet elite watched a pirated version of Firefox, and thought that it might confuse a wannabe Clint Eastwood.

I did think that this could be driven from the "General" mapping. It's not. If there's a LUA that we could update to amend if possible, or at least delete, that would be great.

To bring the F5 into the 90s. How about Sony Diskman? I'm not sure how well it would work under 6g load, but maybe worth a try.

I've tried my AB9 with the 20cm extension and prefer it without.

As I understand it, there's Direct, Telemetry and Integrated. Integrated combines the two. I didn't like it, too stiff. I'm currently using Telemetry, but with the hope that at some point, the Direct will be updated with some snazzy outputs from ED.

I updated the Moza control software yesterday. Can't say I'm a fan of the new version. It attempts to automatically choose the appropriate profile for the aircraft that you're in. At this point, I'd rather do it manually.

Good luck on that. As I understand it, this is a now unsupported mod. We should (and certainly in my case am) be grateful that we had it at all.

I don’t see an issue with saving them into the DCS main installation. I’ve had mine in there for a couple of years (at least) and they’ve never been deleted by an update or similar. IIRC, the path is: DCS World OpenBeta/Mods/Terrains/“map name” (eg Kola)
