  1. same for me, updated to 2.1...but Normandy doesn't show up in the module manager as being available. Interestingly it shows up along the bottom (as a tile) along with the other modules, giving me the option to 'buy' it (again!)
  2. Assigning controls.... When editing/mapping buttons in the main menu and pressing ok crashes the program. Same issue as the M2000C. Work around is to launch mission and edit assignments from the ESC menu. Don't know whether it's just me or whether others have this issue. As I say I have the same issue with M2000C.
  3. Thanks for all of the replies. Issue seems to have been solved when I cranked up the graphics card and fiddled around with some settings (although I'm sure I've ended up back on the original settings). I think some of the issue was me thinking I was lower than I was (maybe because texture detail wasn't sufficiently good/high). But it definitely was not all perception, there was some issue there.
  4. I used it, very smooth with it on, makes me sick when its turned off. I know its on because the FPS locks at 45fps and its nice and smooth. When I turn it off the FPS fluctuates around 60fps and is not smooth at all. Maybe I could make it smoother if I turned some settings down but having it on allows me to keep the settings up.
  5. ...I've noticed that the M2000 performance is quite a bit different in 1.5.5 to 2.0, particularly how the jet loses energy (either in turn, or with airbrakes extended in level flight). Even when I account for density altitude and other factors that might affect performance, pretty sure there are fairly significant differences. cthulhu68's post makes sense based on what I'm seeing in sim. Great module, enjoying it a lot.
  6. I don't think its possible to run DCS in VR at max settings, but then I don't think you need to in order to get a 'blow your socks off' VR experience. I can maintain a constant 45fps (ASW on) in DCS 2.0 and everything is very smooth and fluid. The 'best' way I have found to force my framerate down is to fly at 600kts at 100ft down the strip in Las Vegas looking out the side (i.e. as many 3D objects in field of view) and I get about 30fps (though does 'spike' between 26 and 45). This latter test is only to force the lowest possible framerate. In reality flying over Vegas isn't an issue; take-off and landing at McCarren get 45fps. I'm going to stop looking at the framerate counter from now on and enjoy the immersion! Life is too short.
  7. Okay great, thanks very muck for the replies.
  8. Hi, New to DCS so apologies for what may be an obvious question, but I bought the M2000C a couple of days ago and assumed it was the latest (early release) version? However reading the other thread about aerodynamic performance I noticed that people were saying that inaccurate 'ability to supercruise' was addressed in an update. Testing just now I found I was bombing along at M1.03 at FL300 sipping fuel on about 90% (no AB). Running in 2.0/NTTR if it makes a difference? So I assume I need to update? How do I do this? CH P.S. The M2000C cockpit is utterly amazing in VR! Thanks RAZBAM.
  9. Is it possible to set up a default flight with specific parameters? Basically I want to set up a specific a/c in a specific state (cold/dark) at a specific airport at a specific time with specific weather. Assuming this is something that will become clearer when I get into the Mission Planner?
  10. Not sure whether I have pressed something but now (in last couple of flights) when looking 90 degrees out the side it looks like I'm going about 1/4 of the actual speed. Flying along at 400 kts looks like I'm barely moving. Says I have a steady 45fps (according to EVGA precision - cant get the built in counter to work)? Any ideas?
  11. Hi, Had my first Rift experience this morning...amazing! Is there a way for DCS to launch normally (using the monitor) and only going into VR when flying? I find it easier to navigate the menus and change settings using the monitor. Thanks,
  12. Guten tag BitMaster, Thanks for the advice. Yes I think I will do as you suggest, I have been slowly mapping the buttons within DCS. Slow but it does enable a building block approach to learning the systems of the aircraft. Yes, looking forward to getting a faster connection. My update did finish last night, and this morning I had my first experience of the Rift.... ...words can not describe! A few setup niggles to negotiate, but very pleased with it. Cheers, CH
  13. Just received my new computer, built just to run DCS (don't tell Mrs CR4ZYHOR5E, I told her it was for her home office, though I think my cover was blown when the Warthog turned up)... i7 6700k, GTX1080, 32Gb DDR4 @ 3400Mhz, M2 SSD for OS, SSD for DCS, TM Warthog, Rift CV1. Got it on Tues, and am still trying to set everything up (struggling with TM profiles - don't really understand where to put LUA(?) files). Have spent the last 36 hours downloading NTTR at 260kbs! So I changed my provider to Fibre optic broadband yesterday - but wont get it for another couple of weeks, so need to struggle on with this for a while longer. By the middle of January I think I may be there.
  14. Sorry, must have missed it, where is the HELP section? Have downloaded the setup.exe but cant see the instructions? EDIT: Disregard, can see the HELP is within the program itself.
  15. How do I get JSGME? New to DCS and setting up for the first time. Wanted to install a HOTAS profile to get me started and it seems you need JSGME to use these LUA files that you drop in the input/joystick folder of the particular aircraft?
  16. ah okay thanks for the reply. Will just let it run then...just wanted to have a sanity check to ensure I wasn't doing something completely silly. Thanks again
  17. Hi, Trying to set up DCS for the first time. I purchased NTTR from the e shop and downloaded the 2.0 open alpha exe. After installing this, it launched DCS Updater 2.6.19.8 and began to download (something) via a torrent. After 3 hours at download speeds of 260kb/s I read that pressing cancel reverted to a traditional download, so I tried it. Unfortunately the speed was the same so I'm back to the beginning. Am I doing something wrong? Will take me a week to get up and running at this rate. Any advice gratefully received.
  18. Am returning to simming after 3-4 years so starting from scratch (Hardware, software, peripherals, everything), so have lots of newbie questions - apologies. The new rig should arrive shortly after Christmas so am not quite at the stage of being able to set everything up, but did just receive my HOTAS Warthog. Naturally I unpacked it so I could make aeroplane noises and pretend to shoot things! I did plug it into my laptop just to see how easy/difficult it is going to be to install... The TARGET software looks a bit tricky. Is there some sort of setup guide available for using The Warthog in DCS? Thought I'd spend some time over Christmas reading up so that I'll be ready to go when the comp arrives. Assuming it's installed and recognised in Control Panel/device Manager does it automatically work in DCS (only needing to map keys/buttons according to preferences?), or do I need to use this TARGET software? Any info/advice gratefully received. CH
  19. Many thanks for the reply, Was hoping to get the Mirage 2000 as first third party a/c. Thanks for heads up on the offer, will take a look.
  20. Update: bought rig, what next to get up and running? Thanks for all the replies. Had some real world flying taking up my time since I posted in the summer, but finally (yesterday) got around to buying a new computer. Pretty close to what I was thinking in original post... I7 6700k, Asus Z170 Pro Gaming, GTX1080 (EVGA SC ACX), Samsung SM962 M.2 (128mb) for OS, Samsung 850 EVO (500mb) for DCS, Corsair Vengence LPX 32GB 3000Mhz, Corsair H100i V2, Corsair RMx 850w. Need to buy a monitor before it arrives on 29th. As I am planning to use Rift (need to buy one of those too!) in DCS I'm thinking of just getting a standard 1080p monitor (told Mrs CR4ZYHOR5E that the new computer was was for her office :smilewink:) Can someone confirm the following to get up and running (am interested in DCS2.0 with NTTR)... 1. Download DCS World 2.0 (free) - do I need 1.5 (full or beta) installed as well? 2. Purchase NTTR from e-shop. Register? 3. Download NTTR from in game (module manager)? Presumably I need to create a log in that corresponds to the details given when purchasing module in e-shop? Will post some specific VR (how to get up and running) in the VR section. Cheers, CH
  21. Hello, First post, returning to simming (long time FSX user) and looking to build a new rig to run DCS. Looking at a 6700k/GTX1080 based system. As I'm starting from scratch am seriously considering (having read the 100+ pages of the Oculus Rift thread) VR rather than splash out on large (UHD) monitor. Couple of questions to test some assumptions I have built up based on reading this forum and researching the net... 1. Is my assumption of an OC 6700k/1080 based system correct to run DCS using VR (OR CV1) sufficiently smoothly? 2. 1x smaller (250) SSD for the OS and 1x larger (500) SSD for DCS? Is this the best way to configure storage? Is 500GB sufficient for DCS and anticipated modules over life of system (3-4 years)? 3. RAM requirements? 16GB or 32GB 3000Mhz DDR4? If the latter does it matter (from perf point of view) whether 4x8GB or 2x16GB? 4. What's the consensus for sound? Is a dedicated sound card required for DCS? I am planning to used a Z170 Pro Gaming MB and some say that the integrated sound is sufficient, others that using the MB can affect frames/cpu load? Is a £50 card okay? 5. Lastly, I don't have the confidence (despite watching various 'how to' videos) to build myself so will have to pay premium for an online custom builder. Any recommendations for such services in U.K? Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks, CH
