  1. So you're saying I should turn mine down? I currently have it on the highest settings Ok, so I read through all 40+ pages of this, and even though it does not offer a solution, it is somewhat reassuring to see this is a known issue among the community. I am on a 30" 2560x1080 monitor, with a GTX1070. I do not believe hardware is the issue. I guess at this point it is simply a matter of waiting on ED to give us a scaling fix?
  2. Are you talking about in a multiplayer environment? My understanding was that the object scaling is defined for the server, so whatever I have it set to in options is overridden?
  3. Just wondering if any of you have any tweaks to help improve spotting. I play on 2560x1080, everything on highest graphics settings, yet I have tremendous trouble spotting aircraft even a few miles away. The only time I ever see them is if they are high up and creating trails. I have to rely on constant bogey dopes from AWACS to get me anywhere near anybody else. Is there anything you guys do to make spotting easier, or is it just a matter of my eyes sucking? :geek:
  4. Stupid question, as a dabbler in the viggen. What are these ground slots for? What is the benefit?
  5. Ok, so I should still be able to lock onto the real contact (with velocity)?
  6. Hopefully someone can enlighten me. Often (multiplayer) when looking at my radar, I see targets jumping around. I cannot get even a TWS lock on them. Are these targets jamming? If so, does the Mirage have the capability to lock onto a jamming target? If not, what is going on?
  7. Anyone else having trouble binding some keys to HOTAS? I'm using X55, and it won't let me bind certain functions to it. I can re-assign a new keyboard command, but the HOTAS fields are not even clickable.
  8. Got it. As usual, it was a BCAK (Between Chair + Keyboard) error. I wasn't turning the radio on:doh: AWACS is also now working. Thanks!!
  9. I am using TrackIR, this is probably it, thank you! As for the frequencies, if I select "easy comms" shouldn't that override any need to use frequencies?
  10. Guys, can anyone help me with the M2000. Flying is not the problem - I cannot for the life of me communicate with ATC. Should I have easy comms on or off? Do I need to set the dials? I have my UHF and UVFH keys bound, but neither seems to generate a response from ATC. Help? :dunno: Also, if anyone can tell me why F7 doesn't work for me to request bogey dope, I would appreciate it. Sorry for all the questions!
  11. I know this has been discussed before, but I was curious if any method to control team balance is being thought of? If it is even possible..... Last night, it was 17 vs 7. Makes it nearly impossible to run AG missions in the CZ. -CLS status was 6 enemy planes vs 2 friendlies. Does DCS not offer the ability to limit player counts on each team to 15? Just curious. Also, to those of you that love blue so much, why?
  12. Perfect. Thanks again. I'm sure I'll be back with more questions later. In the process of reading through all 200+ pages of this thread to kill time at work :book:
  13. Ah, yes. That does help. If I can ask one more thing: It seems, at a glance, that none of the -ag objectives are inside the conflict zone. Is that correct? If so, how do I determine AG targets inside the CZ? In other words, are there additional units I can kill that are not listed in the -ag box, and if so, where are they located? Thanks!
  14. Hello all, First things first: Mirknir, thank you for all the work you have done creating this! I am still relatively new to DCS (but not flight sims), and hopped on this server last night. I had a fantastic time just puttering around in my SU-25T looking for things to shoot. It's so much more fun knowing the MIG I am taxiing behind is a real player instead of AI. I figured out to type -ag into chat to get a list of ground targets available, took off, headed to the objective, and searched for 30-45 minutes for a valley artillery station and could not for the life of me find it. Unsure as to whether I am looking for an outpost, an artillery convoy, or stationary arty vehicles, I finally had to RTB, defeated Next I chose to hit an oil field instead (which I figured should be much easier to spot). Got to the objective area and rained hell down on some offshore platforms, and the objective bar went down by one bar, so I am assuming I was successful? A few questions: How do I access SEAD (Anti-AAA), and convoy objectives? -ag seems to only give me ground installation targets. Also, are there pictures of the objectives anywhere so I can get a better idea of what exactly I am looking for? What do the objective bars actually mean? I took out the only two oil platforms in the area, but I only reduced the number of bars by one. I'm sure I'll have more questions, but getting these answered would be great for now. It seems like I am probably missing a lot of features, and I cannot find anything comprehensive. I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos, but they tend to just show the action parts. Is there any kind of a guide available for newcomers? Hopefully some of you veterans can enlighten me. Thanks! If you see an SU-25T flying around that looks it's barely staying airborne, it's probably me.
