Can I ask something stupid? How do you cheat with Tacview? :D When I try to load the file while still in game it doesn't load. So I have to wait until I leave server, and in most case I forgot what I did 1 hour ago so I don't learn as much as if I could check WTF happened when it's happening :) Also the delay often cause me not to learn anything as a huge mistake is often followed by a rage quit losing all last 10 minutes :D :D

Ok thanks! So the higher the class the higher the drift respect to time. Pretty clear :) Any way to improve alignment later? I tried the other alignment mode in flight (from memory it's the one before the "nav" position) and it seemed to do something.... Not sure what :p Possible to realign on ground once RTB? Full INS reset necessary for this? Thanks :)

Hi! I read lots of pages on this thread but feels dumb as I can't find an answer to something I had no problem on any other game... I just would like to have a simple 3 screen setup. So I chose full resolution and set configuration to "3 screens" in options. It works ok, even if I can't figure exactly how to adapt the bezels so the image matches between screens... But DCS is still not getting that descent FPS... So I'd like to get a lower resolution to try out, but then I got the game not centered anymore on central screen. Just hope I make my point clear.... 1st point: how to adapt bezel width to get perfect image matching? And second point: how to set a lower than native screen resolution but still having the image centered? Thanks!

Hi! Just a little question about INS precision when you don't do a full alignement (say you set INS to "nav" when reaching the first 4 precision step). Is it just less precise, but you still can update position on route to get it perfect. Or, should you also get more drift while on route if less time aligning at first? Thanks!

Nope still there. You can do a fast rampstart poor alignement, and then update INS anywere on your way it will update it perfectly no matter when you push VAL button. Pretty handy to get fast in the here, but pretty cheaty :D

I was not saying that so you remove them, I was just a noob again... Well part of that mess was my cat preventing me to jettison the fuel tank actually :doh:

But how are you doing guys because when I come to the target spot there are usually more than 50% targets destroyed, but can't help destroying a single one :D Will have a single player session to test this!

Had my second try with the Spit, and must ask something: how effective is the cannon/gun against those ground targets? I had couple of runs against same tank on the northern target spot, and never got him damaged. Or at least smoking. Am I just not aiming right? How many gun runs are you doing to damage something?

Yesterday had my worst open conflict day ever..... -Got spamramed by crazy F16s -TK'ed a poor ally after having no diamond appear on IFF interrogation !!???!!!??? -Got a kill shot on a mirage that tried to brake in front of me "a la top gun". Ended with a "clic clic" on the gun trigger : forgot that god damn gun master arm.... Took an IR in my ass the second after this :( :( :( Still learning........

Definitly helps keeping eyes outside! But once close and everybody starts to circle arround.... What you looked at 30 seconds earlier is all wrong :p

Spent time on open conflit lately and while I can dodge a lot of BVR missiles, the huge problem I have is that when I get to merge or close, then it's still BVR for me... I mean I have soon 2 or 3 bandits less than 10nm from me, but can't see anything in my radar... So I'm blind, turning around to try and see a bandit, but there is usually already one or 2 in my 6 I didn't even see coming.... How the hell are you able to keep track of the bad guys when getting close? Turning everywhere in auto lock HUD mode? Radar in 60° angle and turning? Global issue for me is the closest I am, the blindest.... :(

Future plans sounds really cool!! Yesterday was lucky to find a M2000 wingman to die with... Oh my it's so hard to get the slightest situational awareness.... We flied seeing nothing, then I had a contact on radar but difficult to keep it showing... Closing in... "He's engaging me that shit is beeping and warning everywhere"... Soon I realised it was just a poor big enemy tanker...... I guess bips were from sams or ships... No idea the RWR is so cluttered :O Cannoned him a bit for fun... but soon realized I was just engaged on my 6 by.... a SU 25 :D :D.... I could manoeuvre to get on his six but wow was close.... That to say: how hard it is for me to get the feel of where I am and what's around..... By the way, I tried to open the tacview file a few times and never could get the last say 20 minutes of what just happened: is there a forced delay? Or is it stoping when dying and respawning? Thanks, I guess I have a lot to learn.....

Nice! Would be pleased to join some M2000 buddies, indeed it's hard out there alone in front of Su27's squadrons :D Yesterday I connected on simple radio but appeared I was only client connected :p Will try to catch you on TS then ;)

Had a quick go yesterday, and tried this time to start with some backup mk-82 under the Mirage just in case :) How are you chosing ground targets? Tried the F10 menu, and it shows a list of undefended and defended targets. Like some offshore oil station on one side, and armored targets on the other. Are there better targets than other from a strategic point of view, or should I just look at F10 map, see where are the A10s and KA50s and just join them? Are you trying to destroy stuff under red smoke (when blue :D) ?

I think you actually don't have to press that val button as the update should be done internally for the BAD ground cursor... BUT indeed that update don't seem to work anyway. I can update precisely or 1nm away from IP, the ground cursor at BAD is always at the same place.... wrong place.... and always bombing NOT on targets :p

Had my first flight yesterday, was working pretty well! But as a newbie took me llike 10 minutes ust to figure out the chat key.... :D Do I have anything to know to fly with you guys? Like usual habits on the server? Basically I just started the M2K and went into conflict zone, but don't know if you guys try to group at some point, or chat on some frequency (didn't try to connect simple radio for now but will do). Are there particular goals or should we just destroy bandits announced by AWACS? :D Thanks and cya online!

Still, flying Su-27s over Las Vegas does not shock anyone :D That said, would not require too much imagination to set some sort of 70's scenario over that same map or even more recent. So that idea is not sounding so stupid to me :) I mean in movies Aliens are attacking earth so that's not more stupid than a France/England war :D

Actually I upgraded 6 month ago for latest i5 now @ 4,5Ghz, so CPU and mobo are brand new too. Still sad about overall FPS in some situations :/ Really hope it's better in 2.0 / 2.5 to come.

I have a 1080 and in 1.5.5 it's not as smooth as I'd like.... In some multiplayer missions I'm hardly at 35 fps :( I'm running triple screen in 1440p and settings are let's say medium. Can't get better fps even going lower on details now. Pretty annoying.... Hope version 2.5 will giv better performances.... Or am I having trouble with some setting?

Are the campain mission up to date or are there newer versions on the forum around here? Still having the wrong magnetic heading because of january mission bug, would avoid to edit all files one by one to change date :p

I have a crash each time I quit DCS world... Are you running triple screen? Because I suspect this to be the root cause. Need to test single screen to confirm, will upload a crash log if I can.

I had a splash yesterday after losing the lock when the bandit notched me, I relocked him and missile went straight to his face again. I could see the missile getting back on the lock on the tacview track. Lock was of course PIC.

Thanks.... So: wait and see I guess :p

Can't get it to work: ins update on middle of the runway appears to be doing nothing and then the cross is not really over the tanks... Then bomb is released as soon as I press instead of waiting for CCRP release point :( Getting confused with that training mission and ins update looks broken to me. Am I doing it wrong or is it a known issue? Thanks!

Just another detail: the radar cursor indicates what I believe are the min/max altitude of cone detection at that point? Are they theoretical values only or also acounting for the possible current gimbal lock of the radar?
