I'm so disappointed by these news. I know there are many people that have bought everything ED puts out just for the sake of support, or with the case of FC3, because they just wanted something to fiddle with while we wait for DCS-quality products. This has to end! ED is just another company like any other. Even though they are dedicated and are passionate about what they do, they still must adhere to sales figures. Every time you buy a product, you are in fact voting. But if you don't buy a product, you are also voting! I hope that everyone in the future will consider this before buying a ED or 3rd party module. I know many would buy DSC Lite:F-15C just to play around with while they wait for DCS:F-15, but with the current instability of ED's direction, I would urge everybody to ask themselves: Is this something I really want? After being acquainted with Black shark and the warthog, I for one know I can't go back or down or anything that compromises the fidelity that we have with these products. The alternative for me is to give up simming all together, as there are no competitors out there where I can offer my vote. I'm not trying to be a negative nancy here, and I know it was said DCS-quality was still being worked on, but it's starting to feel like every time DCS: fast mover is the only thing left on the list of things to come, something new and slightly distracting pops up. First CA, then P-51, then FC3 and now this DCS lite stuff. And I fear this will continue because people keep "voting" for these. So if you are like me, and can only continue your simming career with A-10C-level fidelity, please consider holding back your money until a module of said quality is available. This is because we must vote with our money, and we also vote by not buying! Sorry to seem so gloomy, but I can't help it, since I am... :(

The changelog says "TGP IR operation is fixed". Exactly what was fixed? I have tried 1.2.3, but I'm not sure if I was able to spot any difference with the tgp, and I never knew there was a problem with it...

ahh, haven't tried playing without HDR since I was back, so I didn't know, but that is indeed a game-changer. The mission "hideout" is actually very difficult because of this (if you follow the intended ingress route from IP), as the HUD becomes almost completely invisible because of the suns reflection of the mountains..

just curious: How does HDR affect realism?

With the standard weather setting, turbulence is bound to altitude "bands". IIRC the first one is 0 to 1000 m, and if the airport is above 1000, you won't notice any turbulence... My theory anyway...

IIRC most f-15's have a tailhook, and the f-16 as well [citation needed], they are there incase of emergencies, and to be used on normal runways. (many military bases can deploy traps in case of emergency, and this was actually used in the incident where the f-15 landed with one wing, but the pilot didn't deploy his tailhook [further citation needed] IIRC). So I assume it was never intended for carrier ops... I'm saying all this based on vague memories that might have been dreams, but if you look into it, I think you'll find the reason for the tailhook...

If you are thinking about lockon pre FC, then don't hold your breath. There is so much more content and stuff going on in the exe compared to then, so even the best hypothetical optimization would not necessarily bring back the performance you are hoping for. Consider reading some tips in the hardware section of this forum and figuring out your computers bottleneck, if it's not the cpu, a gpu upgrade might help a bit...

yes, there are several techniques for a more rapid deceleration, but I was wondering about the status of the known bug in traction and or braking-efficiency as per this thread...

How fare this issue nowadays? Do the 1.2.2 version have -1 consistent braking? Or is this still on the "to do list"? I have been away for a while, and I think maybe braking feels easier now, but I can't be sure...

Damn! It worked! (It's allways the drivers...) I installed the AMD drivers instead of the ASUS drivers. They are supposed to be virtually the same, but hey. Than you kuky. Indeed a similar system, so far I haven't found anything which it can't handle with ease... thx again.

So I have finally bought and build my new rig:) Had it for a few days, and it is just so awesome i cant sleep. Ever. This is the setup I ended up with: Corsair 650D Intel X79SR I7-3820 Corsair dominator kit 16GB 1600MHz CL7-8-8-24 quad channel Intel 520-series 240 GB SSD WD velociraptor 1TB 10000RPM ASUS Radeon 7970 HD Corsair AX 850W intel Liquid cooling It runs all the latest games maxed out without even a single stutter og dropped frame, everything is smooth as a babys bottom. And allthough I'm just starting up with DCS, preliminary test are simply giving me goosebumps. never below 30 fps with everything maxed out, even over cities, on "medium pluss" active missions. GPU is stable at 55-60 C and CPU at 45-55 C (Plenty of margin and still a quiet experience fan-wise) I ended up with only one SSD, and so far I see no need for more HD speed. boot time is instant and like nothing I have experienced before. Christmas came early:) Inseckt

Hei there. I think that my issue is card-related: I get some nasty unnatractive "flickering" in the gui. It kinda looks like z-fighting. It's most prominent in the ME. I had this in-game aswell, but it was fixed by enabeling v-sync. It's a brand new (selfbuildt) system, so it's probarbly some setting issue. Intel x79SR I7-3820 ASUS ATI 7970 HD (Direct CUII TOP) Game instaslled on intel 520-series 240GB SSD (Same as system) W7 64 bit pro I'm running on 1920x1080 (same as desktop) (btw, im getting 40-50 fps with everything on max over tibisli, so f-ing awesome!!!) all hardware drivers are up-to-date, and I have the requiered redestributables (dx and c++) Sorry if this was covered in the past, some general searches gave me nothing... thanks for any assistance! Edit: Tried disabeling aero, and no change...

I just stop it immediately by pressing one of the keyboard zoom buttons once. This shortens the pain somewhat:)

Of course I don't use IE, (I'm not a neewb of the interwebs:megalol:). The issue I reported was using Opera, which is my main browser, and when it fails at something, I have chrome as back-up;) But yes, I agree, only use IE for downloading some other browser... Edit: I don't agree that .net is crap though, perhaps for web applications, but it's great for other stuff that is meant to run on windows only, but thats a whole different subject right there...
