Well apparently so: To quote Luc: "Strongest CPU Cores in production. There's little doubt that 15th gen Intel's P-Cores will be the fastest at their release date - first benchmark leaks suggest that, even without Hyper-Threading, the Core Ultra 9 P-Cores are as fast as, if not faster than, the Raptor Lake i9 14900K P-Cores with Hyper-Threading (8c/16t). " So the upcoming full release benchmarks should knock our socks off.

I wouldn’t claim to be an expert, but I’m still using OTT and XRtoolkit

A key drawback of wireless is battery life. With my QP it’s at best a couple of hours. Do you really want to be limited to a flight time max based upon the battery? If not, you’ll need a charging cable. Add that, you might aswell have the charging cable also able to pass data.

I don’t know the implications of hyperthreading being dropped on DCS. Having said that, early benchmarks with Arrow Lake is showing it as being slighly slower in games when compared to the Intel 14!series CPUs. Clearly these are early tests, which might not be representative, but it would appear that the Intel option is not going to be the best choice for games.

Please do give us some airfields in Iran and Saudi, even if most of their areas is low res

What about a Spanish version?

It would be great if BigN would be kind enough to create a new sub forum for Moza products, such that we could more easily share those. I do wonder if a good place to put them might be in the user files?

I'm sorry, but I don't see how the fine print helps here. I'm not talking about how long it takes to ship, rather that it's yet to be dispatched and is still in processing. Take another scan at what you've posted and see how that makes any difference to the fact that they'd not met their stated service on dispatching the product.

The helipads, yes, but as only one of them was added into Iraq, seemed less important than the airbases that we added, from which you could fly helicopters anyway.

What about them?

The H3 and H4 basis have been on the Syria map for a while now. Its where a Tornado was shot down in Gulf War 1 whilst trying to disable the airbase

The MOZA website states that orders for the AB9 will be dispatched within 7 days. As witwas has pointed out, if I buy from a local retailer (who won’t have stock until Nov), I pay £550. If I buy via MOZA, it’s £550 + £90 in postage. So I’m paying extra to buy from MOZA AND they’re avoiding the retailers margin. The only reason I’ve done it is the statement from MOZA about their dispatch and shipping timescales. If they could meet that, I didn’t mind. As is, there’s going to be no benefit to buying from them, so I’m about to cancel my order with them.

As has vulkan

Well that’s disappointing. I ordered an AB9 directly from MOZA 8 (business) days ago, so am expecting the unit to be dispatched. The order is still showing as processing. It’s worth MOZA remembering that I’ve had to pay extra to have it shipped from overseas, as against via an in country vendor, meaning that they make more profit from a direct sale. I can’t say that it creates a good starting impression

It’s most probably on their priority list. However, when we can use the 3rd Reich version as a temporary solution, it does feel that it would be more important to have say Vulkan enabled

Have you played with the scenery detail setting? Give it a go

The point of quad views is to put less effort into the boundaries, so it sounds like it’s doing its job. If you don’t like it, disable quad views/foveated rendering. what you’ve just clarified is why eye tracking is important, as it gives normal clarity where you’re looking and less effort where you’re not

That answers my question, thanks. I did tick the dynamic cargo for the airfields, and also found a setting in advanced waypoints about cargo.

As per the title. I've mapped the Set Course knob, and that twiddles the knob that can be seen in cockpit. Doesn't actually change anything on the ADI.

I have only flown DCS in VR, and now have the usual HOTAS and another 5 panels and MFDs. Whilst I can’t see the panels or MFDs, you build up muscle memory fairly quickly, similar to being able to touch type. For the more difficult to discern buttons, say on the MFDs, I have used velcro to give some buttons a texture that I can feel. Works wonders

The latest update to Syria has added a host of new helipads. That has meant going into my missions to click on each pad to set it to the appropriate faction (Red, Blue). With the sheer number of locations, it's fairly time consuming. It struck me that it would be really cool if the mission editor allowed us to set ALL airfields in a country, or a definable rectangle to a specific faction. It would certainly save a LOT of time. I appreciate that we may well want to change some within that country to a different faction, but if it's only a few, still massively faster.

Thoughts: Downloaded faster than I expected, so that's cool I struggled to see any FPS improvement. Having said that, my "guess" from the release notes are that the enhancements are likely to reduce the instances of say a big terrain texture being loaded which might have previously resulted in something of a hiccup and stutter in game. I certainly didn't notice any of those, so that's great Very happy to see additional enhancements to the maps. That was a WHOLE bunch of new helicopter pads in Syria, excellent Great to see such a wealth of updates, my thanks

I’m currently using a Virpil alpha on a virpil base. I should be getting an AB9 in around a month, and intend to use the Virpil alpha with it. I’m very conscious that it’s almost certainly going to result in a new controller ID being generated by windows, with the resulting “fun” of needing the resolve bindings for 40+ aircraft. Does anyone know if there’s a way to virtualise the interface between DCS and the joystick, such that DCS would think that the joystick is unchanged, whilst I only rebind the new setup once? I’m guessing that joystick gremlin might be able to do this, but have never tried.

DLAA (without DLSS upsampling) is for me, currently the best compromise in VR. I’ve tried the other options, and felt that DLAA was best

Being fair, when was the last time he told us anything that ED hadn't already?
