Great topic start. The rest could have found its way into another thread, really. I want TIR as well and since i dont have soldering iron and not the free time i would like to have, i will have to wait until i have the money for it. It will be the most expensive hardware apart from my computer. Even my HOTAS cost half the price of a TIR, so its understandable that some go for cheaper solutions. And its nice to see initiatives like the thread starter. :)

A setting in BS to make the rest lower and keep the cockpit readable would be a good idea if possible. For now its either not being able to read the text in the cockpit or loose FPS. The third option is to buy a computer that matches todays games. gulp. :)

"OK I counter your Petition, would you Please Spell correctly ;) " Come on man, he meant that because some people here dont understand english that well they use translator programs. "B4" doesnt tell them what it means, ok champ. ;) EDIT: Good find btw! That was the reason i started to write lol. Thanks.

Hello guys! Before i reinstalled my OS i had less trees in the cities in LO and i cant seem to find any way to get the trees out from the cities now. I have googled and checked a lot of LO tweaks sites but cant find what i did before. I think it might be a known tweak to you guys to lessen trees in the middle of towns. I might be wrong but it seems laggy when i look into bigger towns now and they do seem to have millions of trees. I use the tree shader mod that smoothes the trees out in the distance. Just on a side note, the clouds looks like these blobs with jagged/messed up edges wich was taken care of with some AA/AF before i reinstalled my PC. Now i have to add at least 8xAA to get rid of it lol...? Last time it was enough with 2x. I tried everything else i found such as setting the textures (in nvidia cpl) to very high - no luck. This is something i have to wrestle with as its very weird and it makes LO lag (wich it didnt before i did the reinstall). You think a reinstall would make your system faster and nicer and not crappier lol. :D its a nightmare. Hope you guys know what tree tweak im talking about as i cant find it anywhere. Less trees around houses/towns. Thanks in advance!

Awesome skin! I think i would have made the cockpit frame in a solid very dark green/grey (maybe black) colour. To camo that frame must be hard work in real life. :) Dont get me wrong though, that camo is very nice and fit really good to the kamov. Keep the good work up! And oh, as a swede, i would like the M90 camo to stay in the sim hehe. But i dont have BS yet and dont know wich to change. Hopefully ED or someone can make more skin slots in the sim so we can add without exchange skins.

Nice skin indeed! Would be nice if ED or someone could make it possible as you said to have more slots in the sim for custom skins. So the menu gets bigger with a bunch of new skins in there. Hopefully that will happen down the road. :)

Use search button. Youll be amazed how easy you find things. ;) http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=590082&postcount=4

Yeah sorry... I meant EECH. Too tired and got a small chock from thinking DCS Apache will be human pilot/AI gunner only. Cant only be that. Would destroy everything about a twin seat A/C. ;)

Just print screen (or whatever screenshot button is) and then print it from windows. Cant be hard to test yourself. Should come out as good as any other pictures on the computer. ;)

Do you mean when you dont have a friend to fly with? Cause when the apache is released i dearly hope it can be flied human pilot/human gunner over the net, and not only with an AI like LB2/EECH.

Someone's been reading Douglas Adams. :) @Aullido: Dont worry mate. You will have enough installations for a looong time ahead.

SEAL i recommend you to use the search function of this forum. These questions have been asked and replied countless times. ;) Just look through the FAQ also, it has all info you want regarding this and much more. Youll find the list of upcoming aircrafts, and what dictates wich aircraft to be made. A vote here will not change this list as some of the A/C's are already ordered by militaries, and thus are to be produced first. Correct me if im wrong anyone.

The joy axises should be X=horizontal (left - right) and Y=Vertical (up - down). Z is maybe the throttle? and AZ i have no clue yet lol. EDIT: Element had a better idea for you. ;)

Maybe a patch can take care of that in the future as that looks horrible lol. Cockpit should have its own texture detail option - if at all possible.

Seems like its time to learn what the buttons do! :megalol: Just kidding mate. ;) I guess it will be a bit hard to be a newbie in that cockpit for me too as i use the same res. Maybe theres a solution though - lets wait for a reply by them who know. :smartass:

In the campaign i know sometimes you start cold and sometimes warm. It can be fixed but i dont know how yet as i dont have BS. But in the missions, isnt there an option to start cold? Would be weird if they left that out of the missions.

I dont know too much about 3D but that LINDA vegetation prog can produce very low poly trees. Also textures as you like and how many leaves etc. So i guess its very scalable for performance and needs. Yeah we can always dream at least... Im glad to get it in ArmA2 as it looks fantastic. :)

That is great. :) I thaught it wasnt posible in BS. Great news to me (even if that was old to everyone else.) ;)

Is it hard to understand that with triggers it can be different everytime? And getting shot halfway to the mission area, well, not hard to do either. And it can be setup so its different intercepting enemies that maybe or maybe not comes halfway to the mission area. Very simple and very dynamic feeling.

Paypal im not familiar with. But having ED setting up a bank account for DCS sales i dont get whats so hard about that? Paypal might funk up, but a bank transfer goes through bank employees making sure the transaction is made with the correct amount of cash. I take this as ED is in no hurry to get more money in and "dont really care" about its customers. As that is the only answer to why there cant be bank transfer sales. In my mind anyway. "dont really care" = this is just what I feel as a wannabe customer to DCS. (dont saying this is how DCS thinks). ;)

Maxtow, I dont know if you read it already but MODMAN is a very neat tool to install mods with. Compared to other games/sims where you maybe have to make folders and add commandlines etc, modman will take a zipped file and install it. So you can download a mod to your desktop - add it in modman (comes up in a list of installed/not installed mods) - then select the mod in modman and hit install. It will get a green light as in "installed" - then you can delete the zipped file on your desktop as modman saves the mod to a folder it uses. So after this very easy and nice procedure you can install/uninstall the mods you have without any fuzz. Hope it wasnt confusing in my explanation. ;) its a very nice mod install tool that all games/sims should learn from.

Airway, you got my vote mate. +1 here that dont have a creditcard atm and have to wait til the box is out. Kinda crappy to sit here and see everyone else practising. :cry: I have made purchases of other sims that also said "creditcard only", but after a mail or phonecall i was given a bank account number and i could transfer from my bank to theirs the minute after i talked to them. So everyone i encounter have been easy and forthcoming when it comes to sell their products. I dont know why its hard for ED to be able to take sales through bank transfer. And i dont know how paypal and other similar services is a problem as i dont know how those work, but a simple bank transfer? Im not sitting here all mad and angry, cause im not, but i would definatelly be more happy with BS installed on my PC. ;)

Thanks guys for the info! Yes indeed it is LO vanilla. I have watched the tracks as you mentioned BRD, but i wanted that slimmed down simple 3D objects viewer. Looks so neat. :) I will get use for it in BS though hehe. Thanks all.

Ah thanks yet again Crunch! :thumbup: EDIT: I couldnt open my .TRK in the latest TACVIEW it seems. I read on the website and it says "open your flaming cliffs/black shark track files". And when i try OPEN in the program it doesnt show .TRK files. Tried open one and i got an error. Bummer, that porgram looks awesome. Gonna look for an older version. :)

Just a noob question about the in-sim joy buttons setup: Can you program the pinkie in the sim itself or does that one have to be made with SST? Thank you.
