  1. I want the western version but physical copy, i dont like limited activations or none of that nonsense.
  2. I think its ogg but im not sure (theres info on this somewhere), ogg has better compression and dynamic range i believe it more suitable for this. There is a nice editing/conversion tool out there called audacity i used to edit/convert sounds for missions (in other games).
  3. Woop!! Very nice :thumbup:. Have you crash... i mean... has a system malfunction forced you to do an emergency landing in the water?
  4. Some people criticise NP but if there was no TIR there wouldnt be any products supporting head tracking, the product might be pricey but their market is small (PC simulation) so even those who use FT should be gratefull... TIR was a great idea.
  5. Quality over quantity, rather have 2 high fidelity aircraft than 20 cool estimated guesses.
  6. If they want to build them all as complex as the KA50 it will take time, i wouldnt want to wait for the completion of one aircraft while theres another one ready and waiting, besides with 1 single aircraft we already have so much to learn, 2 at a time would be overwhelming :D.
  7. I saw the radio egg on YT yesterday, funny little feature. :).
  8. Very nice, i going to watch it again... and again.. ;) .
  9. Doubt they can get their hands on specs/data to simulate it up to the level of the shark, or maybe they can but not distribute it. The alligator would be fun for MP (pilot/gunner) but for SP i'd rather take the shark instead of sharing the fun.
  10. But... if the CP fails to protect the product anyway why should we (paying customers) have to bother with reactivations, running out of activations, waiting for more activations..
  11. Sweet, thanks alot for all your feedback :) .
  12. How about a.i. controled vehicles? The screenies at the DCS site show a very generous amount of these, are all of them included? I look forward to try the editor :) .
  13. On the previous page someone mentioned that the sea, even if not visible (bellow the terrain) still draws reflections of objects wich are obviously abundant in the cities. Maybe it wouldnt hit so bad if the engine relied less on CPU to do these things, the buildings and textures dont appear to be very taxing/demanding from what i've seen (in the pics only).
  14. A system like that and 30 fps only? Im scared :(..
  15. Hopefully BS is so good that the russian players cant think about doing anything else other than flying the shark :music_whistling:.
  16. The western release date (early 2k9) seems bad for everyone. After so many years of work its a real shame they didnt manage to release worldwide and benefit from the holliday sales. A worldwide release is a good way to prevent you know what. But this might not be really that terrible since there is a game overflow betwean now and the end of the year, and DCS BS might have a better chance of catching the interest of casual gamers when there arent so many popular titles in the spotlight (dry season). Thinking about it dry season can actually be a good period to promote and release a simulation and catch the interest of normal gamers. Sim enthusiasts are guaranteed sales already :joystick:.
  17. Mi-24V flying tank! Wouldnt mind a couple multipurpose rotors, Mi-8 and CH-47, coop ideas..
  18. The latest DRM screwups are turning many potential customers away from products while doing squat to prevent illegal distribution, infact this CP system will affect the owners or legitimate software more so than the rest. I cant see myself sending mails to tech support and having to wait days or even hours to be able to run the products i paid for. What if a product is no longer supported but i still have interest in it? I dont mind activation, i just dont want limited activations, atleast forever.. Complaining is easy though.. The other day i asked myself what would i do in order to secure a product as best as possible with minimal hassle for the customer? What i imagined seemed good for a product such as this (high replay value, to be expanded and supported in the future). The product release is the critical time for things to go wrong, its the time when a copy might be leaked and made available before the product even ships to retail (real bad) and its also the time when demand is at its peek and so are the risks. For the initial release powerfull and even user restrictive CP methods should be used as long as they are effective BUT these should be removed further down the road. Some time after release the protection should consist of restricting support for bad copies, such as patches, expantions, etc, as the product grows and becomes better people will want the whole thing in its best possible shape. The DCS idea is really good and since the product is meant to be improved and expanded in the future it will hopefully sell for years to come.
  19. I just read this from the faq: I dont get it. The DCS base product will ship with the KA50, later on expanded with new aircraft (and terrain?) packs and then transition the whole thing to a new graphics engine? sounds a bit complicated :noexpression: .
  20. Custom build PC's are the way to game, good hardware at a good price with no need to beg for compatibility in game forums, say no to laptop gaming :D , for 2k one deserves a better game experience than that of a laptop/notebook..
  21. Amazon has the CH fighter stick + pro throttle combo for about £210 (€266) :noexpression: yikes! The Cougar hotas for £150 (€190). And the X52 for £90 (€114). The cougar doesnt sound that expensive anymore (in comparison that is) but during my searching this forum was not the only place where people disaproved its guts. Honestly im not going all out with a home pit or anything, at first i was thinking that i could handle BS well enough with a decent stick and the keyboard (you can all throw tomatoes now) but.. im not sure. I dont have that thing for fast moving fixed wing and im more interested in rotary but i dont know what is the best solution for the basic controls (collective, pedals and stick), so im trying to catch some insight from experienced heli simmers.
  22. I've been reading reviews and whatnot and the Cougars faults + price ruled it out. Im not sure what to get yet but from the little i read CH's sound like durable, precise sticks and dont look like toys, wich is a small plus. Im not sure yet if im going for a HOTAS or if that is much better setup for rotary wing, im interested in all future aditions to DCS but im more likely to stick with helicopters all the time. Thank you for your reply :) .
  23. Hi everyone! Anyone have any feedback about CH? Seems like everyone likes the x52 but im not convinced yet..
