DX11 is Windows Vista and Windows 7. DX11.2 is Windows 8 "based". Main difference of Windows 8 incorporated DirectX 11.2 is the ability to variably assign graphics memory (very superficially). Thus only needed textures are loaded and used, which increases maximum texture size and count tremendously. Seems like a nice feature for a flight-simulation. So I guess to make the best use of your graphics card and the engine, Windows 8 would be recommendable.

Looks really great and the infos are very promising! :thumbup: I think I saw that OMG BRAND Casino, when I was in Vegas. :D

Is there anything, that is not affected? Even Lockheed has cut work on defense programs. I know, politics are not to be discussed on the forums, but these days I wonder about the old quote: united we stand, divided we fall. :noexpression:

I got the Cherry G80-3000 in an older model. Basically the same MX-technology, but a slightly different design with gold contacts (sorry, label-sticker is long gone). The keyboard is some 17 years old and fresh as day one. I had to replace the cable once - it didn't survive my frequent lanparties. Frequent, yes, andI didn't count how many liters of Coke and Coffee has been spilled on it... I once even gave it a hot shower, dried it and still works fine. :) Try that with a cheap rubber-keyboard :music_whistling:

Good point. :happy:

Considering the size it's displayed, I'd recommend something pretty simple and obvious. Quick'n'dirty:

Can you give me a link, please? I'd definitely like a cartoon with graphics like the Mig21. Do you have a calibrated monitor, btw? Or how do you judge colors are off? Do you use HDR?

But those are renders, aren't they? I'll judge after comparing them ingame.

Sad but true. IMHO many players stick with F4 BMS, because there is no high fidelity alternative for a multirole jet.

Beautiful piece of work! :wub:

Couldn't put it any better. :D

As long as DCS has no lobby, no pregame-chat, no buddy-system, no voice-chat, no multiplayer-logbook, no recommendation-system, no one-click-manual, no one-click-community-guide, ... I guess there's more reasons to use STEAM than not.

Sorry, but that's pretty ignorant. If you model a gunsight and block 1/3 of it, because you just can't do it right, that's not something to just forget about. That's a critical inaccuracity and a one that directly impacts the usability of that plane. It's like modelling the F-15C just with STT or the Su33 without EO-targeting, because these need programming, thought and adjustments you just didn't want to do.

Long story short: "The bar" is there, because it looks like this in the plans. So it's not plain wrong. But the graphics-engines don't take into account that the angled armored glass acts as a sort of prisma, shifting the line of sight. So while it's correct looking at the plans, the way it is modelled is only realistic, when the front-screen was removed. (ignoring the fact that "the bar" on the Dora should be much lower evern without the glass, which the cockpit-photos made more than obvious.)

The way I see it, there are a lot of things going on with ED and DCS. EDGE, new functionality, new eyecandy and last not least 3rd-Party-cooperation. So, while I agree with the OP and knowing it does not sound very satisfying at the moment, I guess we just have to wait a little longer for the big changes.

Yeah. I'd love to see B17, Lancaster and Do17 in the list.

With my professional marketing experience: I doubt that. There was no futher information for 10 days, so no reason to reconsider buying or pledging. Situation changed with the update on Sept. 13th. and it will change again when the new video is release. If it's done wisely, it's rather today than tomorrow - or at the end of the month: The next spike on pledgers will occur on October 1st, when people have more money.

The best thing about this: You can see the date of the EDGE-screenshots being released (13.9.): More than double the money from the day before. Now imagine we had a campaign with new features, screenshots or videos at least once a week! We wouldn't have to speculate about the 150.000 goal any longer.

No. Not in a sim and only few B17 did that in reality over Europe.

True.

Thanks for your work. :thumbup: Pitty the community has to come up with this. :huh:

I know it's probably a silly question.... Did you just download the TARGET-Software? There is also a windows-driver you need for your HOTAS to work as well: http://ts.thrustmaster.com/download/pub/webupdate/HotasWT/2011_TMHW_1.exe Also make sure to use USB2.0-Ports. I read on some forum, there might be a problem with USB3.0-Ports. (Don't have that issue, though - might be chipset-problem)

Please, exaggerating won't help keeping the thread on course. Nobody here asked them for begging for forgiveness or said they owe us something. But in a way, we give money to a company in advance, like a bank gives money to people. And if you ran one really well known company into ruin, you have to deliver a lot of explanations to get trusted again. This is not done by excuses either. It's a matter of proof of concept. And part of that does well in learning from previous mistakes. Let's be honest, the support shown here and on ks is an affirmation to the love, dedication and faith of this great community. And I can only guess, but IMHO the greatest part of this faith lies in Eagle Dynamics, DCS, Wags and the team. The video itself or the socalled ad-campaign (is there even anything like this?) is probably just the minor part.

With current modules released, the community is not fractured, because they can still play together. Just as RoF did. In fact, you could even man gunner-stations in aircraft you didn't own. It changed a lot, though with the new channel-map released.

You are not alone, mate. I spent 200 Euros on CloD and my money surely isn't growing on trees, either. So I am listening very closely, now. And so far, they've honestly not restored my faith. I don't want an excuse or explanation, but I'd like something to believe that things have been learned from the past except keeping UBI out of the game.
