Thanks for the suggestions guys! Unfortunately tried that, but it doesn't save - as soon as you move the slider, it's right back to being too close again. Thank you for the suggestion. Not sure it works for this weird little slider - it didn't seem to affect the centre at all. Thanks for trying though! This did the trick set to about -13 curvature and it's exactly where I need it to be. Didn't realise you could do that! Thank you!

Hello guys! I've just come back to DCS after finally getting myself a new PC. And now comes all the wonderful times of re-setting up everything! So basically... I want to use the little slider on the throttle that sits near the middle finger as the zoom function. But the middle 'detent' of the slider (which is what I want my 'default' view to be), I find is a bit too zoomed in for my OCD liking. Is there a way to change the value of the axis in the Virpil software so that it sits further back zoom-wise when the physical slider is in its natural middle position? I hope that makes a modicum of sense...

I think the 'save game' might be the biggest thing there for me. I am simple man.

If Top Gun Maverick taught us anything, it's to just yank the stick to either side, do a little roll and provoke intense dizziness and nausea in the pursuing pilot.

Hey, just trying this mission for the first time and didn't want to start another thread - sort of the same issue as Razor18 above. What does it mean in the briefing by offsetting to intercept a 3 mile arc north? I know the campaign is supposed to be difficult, but it's language I just haven't come across. Could really do with a diagram to illustrate this...

Bit late here - but you should never have to adjust your loadout in this, or any, campaign. After all... it isn't for the pilot to decide!

Well that was a fairly patronising reply. Appreciate you took the time, but maybe don't talk to people like they're children? And I haven't "botched" anything. This is the first time I've started the game since about January.

Oh, and when I actually started the .exe within the bin-mt folder, there are no modules installed.

So due to studies haven't played for months - just tried to start with MT for the first time, but could not find the bin-mt folder. Until I discovered... there's an entire DCS Open Beta folder (amounting to 130GB) contained within the top DCS Open Beta folder. This can't be right, can it? What's going on here??

Yep. Can't believe this hasn't been fixed yet. Two whole years later.

Thanks guys! I think I will go for the 7800X3D, but the GPU is a whole other story... I'm completely torn between the 6950XT and the 4070 Ti. Being told on the PCSpecialist forum to choose the former, as I won't be using ray-tracing the 4070 won't give me much extra but then isn't DCS going to utilise DLSS at some point relatively soon? This is a hard choice! Haha.

Thank you for the info @kksnowbear much appreciate you taking the time for that. But honestly, the RGB stuff doesn't really interest me all that much (never really 'got it'!) - it's just that PC Specialist only really offer decent RAM that comes with that function. So if the lights don't work, but the hardware itself does... that's all that matters to me

Yep! You absolutely have a point there... costs almost nothing to go to 512. Amended that, along with the 4070 Ti. Just to check finally, is that CPU good enough to last me the next 4 years comfortably enough?

Oh, the HDD is for photos/movies/documents, etc. So in addition to adding my current 1TB SSD, plus the new 1TB one and the 256GB one. It's more than enough for my gaming needs, really.

That's what I've been reading - that Nvidia is better with DCS. The 4070 Ti is about £200 more, while the 4080 is waaay too much. Is the 4070 Ti worth that extra bit? Glad to hear it's a decent machine though! The CPU/GPU were my main concerns.
