That sounds promising! :)

And once next Intel revision comes you have to buy yet another expensive motherboard to go along with you new Intel chip. No such problems with Ryzen since Ryzen 2 will also use AM4 socket. You can use the saved money to get yourself a better GPU or SSD. And since DCS 2.5 will put more strain on the GPU... Right now, there is almost no point in getting an Intel. AMD has it beat at the moment.

According to devs, no new infrastructure will be added. Just terrain.

If gaming is going to be the main use of your new PC, then I would got with R5 1600/1600x series. 1600 has a bit slower clock speeds but comes with a very nice stock cooler. Can be OC'ed to 1600x clock speeds in most cases. 1600x has higher clock speeds but does not come with a cooler and is slightly more expensive. If you do not plan to OC and can afford to spend a bit more, 1600x is a good choice. 6 cores, 12 threads. If you wanna go a bit stronger, R7 1700x is a good choice. Just make sure to get 3000 or 3200 Mhz RAM. :)

Our F-14A can't carry AIM-9G or H? It is what it is! Thanks for your answer. PS: What about DCS: Iranian Tomcats? Will they be able to do it? :)

Ryzen series really is amazing. The price/performance ratio is miles ahead of Intel. Plus, when Ryzen 2 comes out, you wont have to buy a new motherboard since Ryzen 2 will also use AM4 socket. Right now with Intel, you're just buying an overpriced 2012 product that requires a new motherboard every new "generation" because, WE WANT MONEY. While AMD Bulldozer was a travesty, Ryzen truly is a kickass chip.

Did F-14 operate with rear-aspect AIM-9's like Golf and Hotel? If so, will DCS F-14 have them?

On 1080p? Hard to believe that. Unless it's REALLY poorly optimized.

GTX 1060 6GB is all you need for playing at 1080p. Just make sure to get the 6GB and not the 3GB version!

Since we have the NTTR map, this would be lovely to have.

Will it be possible to disable JHCMS in the mission builder? So that mission designer can decide whether JHMCS will be available in the scenario.

Will current F/A-18 skins work on the new model?

Did you update your BIOS to AGESA 1.0.0.6? This BIOS update fixed a lot of the RAM speed issues.

Excellent news! If AI A2G taskings can be simulated like the A2A is now, mission builders can actually create a living "war" enviroment. And G2G would be the cherry on top. Exciting times. :joystick: Will do! Right now I'm still learning, but as soon as I have something presentable I'll share it here. :)

Thanks, I've got it working. Really good job with this framework. Brings so much life and unpredictability into the missions. :thumbup: Are there any plans for an AI air to ground dispatcher also? Something similar to AI_A2A dispatcher, where mission builder could define squadron template, airfield and the assigned ground targets?

Ohh yes. This would be fun. :D

Thanks! I'll check it out. By the way, how did you define the carrier as a spawn point? Do you maybe have a lua example?

Will do! I attached an example of the Tbilisi area bug. Probably an over-lap or something. If you set Tbilisi-Lochini and Sogunlag to neutral, then it works ok with the same script. MooseGCI.miz MooseGCI.lua

For you, it would only be a minor upgrade. Your specs are not bad at all. Don't take my word as gospel, though. Best to check some comparisons and reviews on reputable sites or youtube channels and see for yourself. :)

Ryzen is a great investment in my opinion. Due to higher core and thread count, it's also more future proof also. Future Ryzen chips will also use the same CPU socket for some time, so you can keep your current motherboard and just buy a new Ryzen chip when the time comes. AMD CPU's are not to be overlooked right now. Now we have to wait and see what Intel has in store. :)

4km is more than enough. Don't know about others, but I usually just place templates directly over the airfields. It's more transparent that way. Your GCICAP script supports carrier operations? So that planes can take off on patrols and intercepts from the carrier?

Intel has been reselling their Sandy Bridge for the past 10 years. Same architecture for the past 10 years pretty much, every new Intel core "generation" was just a minor rehash with marginal gains. Cutting corners with their chips, such as using "toothpaste" instead of solder. And then having the nerves to tell the K chip owners that they should not overclock their CPU's because of overheating. You know, the K chips? Whose primary selling point over non-K chips is their ability to overclock? Basically a lot of anti-consumer stuff which is probably the result of their 10 year monopoly on CPU market. And now comes AMD out of nowhere with their Zen architecture. Zen arch offers what Intel offers, for waaaay lower prices. And bunch of other cool stuff like the ability to overclock all of their chips without buying super duper special (read: expensive) versions of chips and motherboards. It's just better right now. And market shares are beginning to show that.

Ok, I will post an example later today.

I've tested the corrected script and I've got it working now. Thanks for your help. I've modified the script some further and achieved some good results, but I've also encountered a bug when deploying it in a mission of mine. I've defined 3 airfield near Tbilisi as "red" in the mission and Vaziani as the base for "red" GCICAP flight. When all three airfields are marked as "red", the script bugs out. Instead of sending 2 planes per group, it would send one plane and two groups. Planes would do an airborne start instead of starting on runway like defined in the script. But if I changed the other two airfields near Vaziani to neutral coalition, the script would work normally and groups would spawn on the runway instead of in the air. I assume it is something related to the close proximity of these 3 airfields around Tbilisi. Now I have to try to limit the resources of red GCICAP flights so that they don't spawn hundreds of planes. Great work on this framework! Love it!

Ryzen 1600 or 1600X are probably the best you can go for if you're building a gaming rig. Forget about Intel right now. Unless you want to burn your house down. :P 1600 comes with an amazing stock cooler that rivals some of the after market ones, quiet and allows for overclocking. 1600X has higher stock clocks, but no stock cooler. If you're comfortable with doing some light overclocking, 1600 offers better value for the money. I personally recommend the 1600 since it can reach 1600X clocks with some very light overclocking and because of the awesome stock Wraith Spire cooler. Ryzen benefits from fast RAM. Because of this I recommend something like 16GB 3200Mhz DDR4 RAM. Corsair LPX Vengeance series is a good choice. 32GB RAM is overkill at this point in time. Especially with increased RAM prices. Some variant of B350 motherboard would probably be for the best if you're going to game. X370 is an overkill for average user and ups the price for no good reason in most cases. B350 series allows for easy overclocking and is very reasonably priced. I'd recommend Gigabyte B350 (or B350M) Gaming 3 series. Good BIOS support & with AGESA 1.0.0.6 it offers great support for fast RAM speeds. With stock cooler, Ryzen 1600 series runs at low temps even when overclocked. I'd consider water cooling an overkill. Some decent case intake fans will keep your Ryzen build cool and quiet. Also, it's important not to cheapen out on PSU. This is by far the most important part of any build. I'd recommend something like Seasonic M12II-620 EVO. It's a modular PSU, great build quality and 620 Watts is more than enough for your build. Hope this helps.
