......... Ummmm, Too late on those benchmarks chief, I pre-ordered it day 1 :lol: I'll hope it works on my PC, but tbh I'll have it on DOS level GFX if needs be just to fly this bird :megalol: Can't wait guys! :)

Too soon...... .....Also probably going to happen a whole lot once this module releases, especially since i heard that they have jet-wash modelled........ I pity poor Jester sitting behind me for my first few flights, I'll need you on speed-dial haha :megalol:

Hey, so I've been practising my carrier landings and carrier operations in the F/A-18, I've gotten to where i can land reliably now (mostly :) ). I know that its a FBW aircraft so its not a true representation of what the f-14 will be like but I'm hoping the procedures at least will transfer over. Also I'm flying the Viggen about, as its going to play a role in naval strike ops, that and I can't seem to go a few weeks without taking it out for a spin :) What are you guys currently flying? Are you using anything in prep for the F-14 or are you flying something completely different so that the F-14 will be a breath of fresh air? Is there anything else you are using for prep? Watching Topgun or listening to Dangerzone perhaps? :)

I have a GTX-1070, 16gb RAM, and an I5-4690k (OC'd to 4.5ghz) and I have the game on my SSD. This allows me to run the game in the Rift @45FPS in a hornet in most cases (there are some strange occasions where it dips, but these are often on the ground in the Persian gulf). I really hope this is enough to run the F14 at 45 FPS too. I'm pouring over my f14 tomcat haynes manual daily along with the flight manual :) Can't wait for this bird!

Yeah same here, using the 3d version in the mi8 because i run in VR, as soon as I turn the heightmap on it freezes every 5 seconds for a second or 2. Its bearable on standard moving map., but still notice a drop in frames for sure.

This so much!! Would love a dynamic AV8B campaign! Such a fun and unique plane to fly!

This was exactly it, for some reason long ago I set up my coordinates as 'Long, Lat, deg', however if you input these coordinates the Harrier will not accept them. Changing in the options menu to 'Long Lat' worked perfectly!! Thanks for the heads up! :)

Yeah I do that, I press POS, type in North coordinates (after pressing 2 for north) and press ENT. Then press POS again and type in East coordinates (after pressing 6 for East) and press ENT. Then in put magnetic info. However on the MFCD the Long and lat remains at N 00,00,00 and E 000,00,00. Putting it into INS ground at this point the clock stays at 00:00 and doesn't move

Hey I'm trying to align my INS by following the video here (thanks for the guide btw, very easy to follow) However once I get to the stage of inputting coordinates, I type in N 421090 for example and click ENT on the UFC, and nothing happens, where as in the video that shows up in the MFCD, same happens for all other inputs incl magnetic deviation. So on the off chance that they were just not displaying for some reason I continued the process and go to GND align and it says Not OK (to be expected) but the time stays at 00:00, and every second it flashes instead. So i speed up time and it never changes from displaying 'not ok' Is anyone else experiencing this? Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I'm on the current beta build.

I'm leaning towards these two helicopters as well. I'm having a bit of a tough time landing the mi8 but as I said I want to pick one or maybe 2 helos that I can focus some time on to get good with. Its good to know that they are needed in some MP servers, whilst I love flying helo's I hate feeling like a dead-weight to my team.

I was just curious what helicopters would be the most useful or most used in multiplayer? I'm able to cold start and fly (just about) most of them at this stage but I'm considering taking it to the next level and focusing my efforts on a single helo for a while to see how good I can get with them. The end goal of this would be to jump into some MP and hopefully be of some use. So I was wondering in advance which would helo would be more effective.

Ok it seems to be stuck at 45fps now and 90 when higher up. but i know this is due to ASW. However i can't seem to turn it off :/ Even with an OTT profile or keyboard commands :/

Here are my current settings: As i said I get about 30FPS and I tried setting PD to 1 and using oculus tray tool and I get about the same FPS :/ And this is with me flying the huey around I haven't even tried with AI involved yet :O

Hi, no worries I'm away from my computer at the moment but should be back in a few hours. I'll be able to post them then :)

Hey guys, so I recently got VR, an oculus rift, and after waiting for my widmoVR glasses to arrive I'm finally able to get into the game. However I seem to be hovering around 30FPS when flying the huey around the Caucasus map. It doesn't really seem to budge from there. My specs are: I5 4680k (oc'd to 4.5ghz) 16gb ram Nvidia gtx1070 Installed on a Samsung Evo SSD Windows 10 I'm running IL2 @ medium/high gfx with a PD of 1.2 and getting 90 FPS in a lull and ASW kicks in during the action (when its disabled it gets to about 47 with a good bit of AI involved) Cheers! :)

Hey guys, I never really calculated the required fuel for a mission before and just often left the bingo fuel level at default. However I've noticed that with 2.5 in particular, I've been flying longer missions just to look at the scenery before engaging and I don't know how much fuel I should bring and when i should break from the fight and head for home. So how do you calculate the bingo fuel level? And required fuel for a mission? Thanks guys, loving the mirage and the harrier! :)

Well I was flying the Hip, maybe I need to start flying as if I'm an old Soviet Commissar in the movies. 'Not one step back comerade........ 1 coward shall be sacrificed for the glorious motherland' Or something to that effect :)

When trying to extract spawned CTLD troops which were previously unloaded. I get the message: 'Cannot load 10 troops, MI-8 can only hold : 10 troops', or something to that effect. In order to extract the unit i must kill one soldier :/

Mi-8, its role is so varied that it can fill any rotary needs from troop transport, FOB building/sling loading to gunship. Outside of official campaigns there's not much made for it or any of the helo's for that matter, I'm only starting out but it sure is a whole lot of fun to fly. You looking to make a scripted campaign or use the Dynamic Campaign Generator?

Thanks for the response :) Oh I can control the ground units? How do i do this, Do i need combined arms? Is the JTAC a unit in the CTLD menu? Do i just need to drop them in the correct grid to have them mark targets with smoke? Again, sorry for all the questions, I tried it out last night and I ended up getting lit up by a btr without even seeing it in the trees haha.

Hey really interested in this server, especially for some of the heli missions as I've been enjoying the huey and the mi8. Just a question on the missions available for these frames. For troop trasport I pick up troops at the blue smoke, where do I drop them? At ground targets? They give a grid of eg. Gg17, I've noticed a jtac unit in those grids, is this where I need to drop the troops? It's there any navigational assistance to get to the lz? For fob building/sling loading, its it build to your hearts desire? Or do you give to follow some guidelines? Lastly can helis take straight off or must they taxi? Sorry for all the questions but it's my first foray into multiplayer so I'm really a newbie.

Yup same happens to me with the huey

Hello I'm having some issues. I tested with the sample troop transport mission and making my own but I get the same issues. When i pick up the troops (labelled 'extract10') using the F10 menu and drop them off at the LZ trigger point the delayed unit of 'extract11' is supposed to spawn, however its actually 'extract10' that disembarks the helo and runs in some random direction. I have to use the f10 menu to deploy troops again in order to get the 'extract 11' troops to deploy however that means there's now 2 units on the ground where as the other unit should have despawned. Any idea what's going on? Thanks

Yeah exactly, but in the video i posted shows that the mirror is in very low res/skybox mode, but I don't know how you do that? The only modes i seem to be able to have it high fidelity or a black screen (in some cases this reverts to a static image which is strange). The skybox version looks like it would be less jaring and have a small impact on frames.

Hey guys, just wondering if its possible to get lower res mirrors or skybox mirrors like I've seen in a few youtube videos, such as this one I've noticed my FPS takes a huge hit with mirrors active (almost 1/2 my FPS in some cases :/ ) and the black bar is kinda annoying. Thanks! :thumbup:
