pixel, no that is not what I am talking about. That is units that are hidden on the unit properties when you set the mission up. I am talking about a filter to de-clutter the map to make mission building easier.
-
It wasn't so much the map itself that took so long on Nevada, as the new terrain engine they decided to develop halfway through working on the map. Hopefully with that done, new maps will come a bit quicker, but we will see.

You can select English in Settings under the Ka50 Special Tab.

It seems to me it would be really nice to be able to filter what you are seeing in the mission editor when designing a mission. It gets pretty cluttered. It would be able to selectively turn off and on various things such as static objects, all blue or red objects, ground objects etc. Seems like it would be fairly simple to have such filters?

Programmable Keyboard Recommendation?
Mad Dog 7.62 replied to Mad Dog 7.62's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I drug my old G15 out of the shed, downloaded drivers and software from Logitech, and it works perfectly!!! Kudos to Logitech, shame on Saitek!!! -
Programmable Keyboard Recommendation?
Mad Dog 7.62 replied to Mad Dog 7.62's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
You know, I just remembered I have an old Logitech G15 out in the storage. I will have to dig it out and see if I can still find drivers for it. -
I have discovered that my elderly Cyborg keyboard will not work in Windows 10. I have looked for and tried multiple solutions and haven't found anything that works. I really like having some programmable keys for key combos that I don't have room for or don't want on the joystick. I just ordered a inexpensive programmable keyboard off E-Bay but it may end up being a piece of junk. Recommendations? Anyone got a good one?

After waiting literally years for the Nevada map (A-10C Beta purchaser) I found after initially downloading it that it wouldn't run on my computer worth a crap. I think my CPU would have done ok, but my 1 MB ATI 5700 graphics card was way outmatched. Since it was time to upgrade the whole system anyway, I did, with a new system with faster CPU, GTX 970, 16 MB ram, and SSD. Today I finally got to tour Las Vegas in the Ka-50 and WOW!!!!! Outstanding work ED!! Beautiful effects and scenery and silky smooth!!! Now I just need to set up my controller and get to work!

Been a long time since I have flown this thing. Anyone have a cold start checklist handy they could share? I can't seem to find mine! Thanks!

Installing new C drive-deactivate modules?
Mad Dog 7.62 replied to sobe's topic in DCS World 1.x (read only)
I don't even know how to "de-activate" a module? Apparently deleting them does not deactivate them? How do you deactivate them currently? -
NTTR info and mission by the 476
Mad Dog 7.62 replied to Stuka's topic in DCS: Nevada Test and Training Range
Nice work! Thanks!! -
This is the thread I found. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=60815 Seems confusing but maybe it will make more sense once I get into trying to actually do it. What kind of frame rate hit does having a second monitor running cause?
-
OK, I found some instructions. I still have a question though....what about running a different module in DCS? In other words, if I get it working to have my A-10C MFD's on another monitor, what happens if fly say the F-86 or UH-1?
-
I know its in these forums somewhere! Can anyone point me to a understandable guide on how to export the MFD's to a second monitor? Thanks!
-
So I have ordered a new system that will run DCS (and everything else) much better. My 1GB video card was just not hacking it in DCS 2.0. Is there anything I need to do to the current system before I download 2.0, NTTR, and all my other modules on the new one? Do they need to be "deactivated" on the old one? I will be doing a reformat on the old system and either giving it my son or keeping if for a spare, I won't be running DCS on both. TIA!

It would be cool to have some civil aircraft to operate out of McCarran.

Huge performance hit between Caucasus and NTTR
Mad Dog 7.62 replied to Fred00's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Me too, NTTR is unflyable on my old system that ran 1.2 great. But I discovered my ATI 5700 card is DX10 and only has 1 GB of memory, when I was lead to believe when I bought the system it was DX11 and 2 GB. So....new system ordered. -
Graphics Problems in 2.0 Upgrade GPU?
Mad Dog 7.62 replied to Mad Dog 7.62's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
And it only has 1 GB of RAM, not two. Yep, time for an upgrade....damn!!! -
Graphics Problems in 2.0 Upgrade GPU?
Mad Dog 7.62 replied to Mad Dog 7.62's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Well according to Windows my card is only DX10. It was supposed to be a DX11 when I bought it...... -
I am having issues in 2.0 with both frame rate and graphics. The graphics I am getting even on high settings are NOT what people are posting in their vids, I am getting a lot of missing buildings, "popping", and choppy performance. I have tried lower graphic settings and I just get missing buildings and muddy looking terrain, at the higher settings I get less missing buildings but a lot of "popping" buildings and slow choppy fps. I did not have these problems before but I know Nevada is more demanding. Thinking my old ATI 5770 card is going to need replaced. Its a 2MB card and I am guessing it just can't handle Nevada! Or just I do a whole new system? Recommendations? If I do just the GPU, Probably going to go to a GTX970. Best bang for the buck?

Need 2.0 Help with Terrain and Modules!
Mad Dog 7.62 replied to Mad Dog 7.62's topic in DCS World 1.x (read only)
Paganus, thank you! That is exactly what I needed!! Got my serial numbers all bound to one account and should be good to go!! I will find out when the NTTR terrain finishes downloading. Thanks! -
Need 2.0 Help with Terrain and Modules!
Mad Dog 7.62 replied to Mad Dog 7.62's topic in DCS World 1.x (read only)
It doesn't want to let me log in under the other account, says something about the serial number not being valid. I sent a support ticket to ED to ask if they could combine them into one log in, but haven't heard back yet. I wonder if I could manually download them and activate with the serial number? -
Need 2.0 Help with Terrain and Modules!
Mad Dog 7.62 replied to Mad Dog 7.62's topic in DCS World 1.x (read only)
Thanks! I have Nevada downloading now.....may take a couple days!! Any idea how to get my other modules to work (that I purchased under a different log in)? Can I download them and manually activate them with their serial numbers? -
I got 2.0 downloaded, but I have a couple of issues I can use help with: First, I am a A-10C Beta early purchaser, so I should have the Nevada Terrain available, but it wants to make me buy it. My A-10C serial number is showing in the module manager so I know its there. How do I get Nevada? Also, I have purchased many modules, but under two different log ins. How can I get the modules from my other log in loaded and activated? I do have order numbers and serials for all of them, but the ones under the other log in won't give me the option to enter a serial number. Thanks for any help!! Really wanting to try flying in NTTR!!!
