Is the cockpit completely in english? (not only the tooltips)

I have a E8600 OC @ 4200MHz and a 280GTX. Here is my benchmark and conclusion with BS: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=581001&postcount=22 I would go for a GTX280. Better driver support. And you can undervolt the card so that it is really silent and colder. I undervolted mine in the BIOS from 1.18V to 1.03V and even overclocked it at the same time.

Yes, I used his version. And his version is already louder/heavier than the default sound. But the engine is still to dominant imho. Maybe I can mod that by configuring the text file.

This is with modded. The modded rotor sounds are already louder/heavier than the originals.

Ok, I have tried to replicate it. Dont know how to describe it, but the engine sounds allways to near imho. And listen to the sound at around 1.40 when I start to hover. To me the engine is to dominant. And I have found another flaw or bug? The engine sound kicks in or out at a certain distance. But I have to say that the sound(system) is way better than in any other simulation. A lot more complex and sophisticated. Better sound quality http://rapidshare.com/files/169909087/BS_sound_test.avi

That is right, for sure. But I doubt that the sound in real would be so totally different. I am using Windows XP. I will try to make a video with sound and upload it. So everyone can get a better impression of what I mean. Maybe everything is working correct and the sound is like intended. BTW, I have already tried the sound mod.

Well I am not an expert with the KA-50 sound. But I think that the engine sound is to dominant. For instance, look at that video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLba1ZdyYOg Even when he is hovering and the engine is clearly audible, the rattle by the rotors is almost equal. In the game there are often moments (especially on outside view) when the main rotors are not audible at all. Well, as I said, I am not an expert with the KA-50. But when you say it is realistic that even if you are a few meters away from the BS you often dont hear the rotors at all, then it is ok. I only feared that my sound is not how it was intended.

Nope. Its on other helos too. I ran the benchmark that was postet here and there are other helicopters in the view that also sound way to much like a small jet with engines running in idle. I tried to edit the sound config, but then the mission does not load.

Am I the only one that thinks that the KA-50 sounds to much like a jetengine in idle, especially on the outside views? Primarily when I have low collective input. I think this is a bit unreal. There should be a lot more rattle imho. Yes, every helo sounds different. But I have never seen a helo with a nearly complete absence of rattle sound. Even with more collective input, the engine-idle-like sound is to loud imho.

Well, I dont know how reliable the track is for benchmarking! Because I ran this track two times now and each time I had completely different views. Especially at around min. 7 to 8. In the first run I had almost only close views to the aircrafts. But in the second run I had from min. 7 on almost only a wide view over the battlefield. I assumed this is running like a video. But the battle is different each time and so are the views. 1. run: Avg: 84.469 Min: 1 Max: 359 2. run: Avg: 93.536 Min: 1 Max: 422 About the resources: Throughout the tests the System memory filled only up two 1133 MB. The VRAM is really spare, filled only up to 357 MB, and that even with 4xTSAA and 16xAF. So theres is a lot of unused space for current graphic cards. CPU usage is only 100/10 on a C2D in Windows XP. So I think raw CPU power is best for DCS BS. My System: Windows XP SP2 C2D E8600 @ 4200 MHz GTX 280 Graphic settings: AF x 16 AA x 4 AA Transparency on Resolution 1680 x 1050 x 32 Ingame Settings:

Before we run the benchmark we should agree on the resolution and AA / AF settings.

Is it possible to get a benchmark for BS? Maybe via replay? I thought it would be nice to have an overview with all the different hardware configs the users have.

Hmm, does not work for me. BTW, left ctrl + F3 (fly-by jump view) dont work too for me. I get one fly-by and thats it. I expected jump means that a new fly-by view starts when the aircraft is xx meters away from the camera?

I could live with non-collidable trees. But that the trees give you no cover against AI is really bad.

Yes, thats something I wish for since I have played my first simulaton on the old Amiga...

Yes, I know. But the relative position to the aircraft changes when I change the course.

Is there any way to get a chase view like in FSX? But not the fixed view. It should be a mix between DSC F2 and ctrl+F4. The problem with ctrl+F4 is that when I change the view via mouse or coolie I want the camera to swing around the helo, instead of strafe to the left or right etc.. I want the object to be still in the center of the screen.

Ok, I finally got it to work. I deleted all DCS profiles in the driver and nhancer. Then set the global setting to x4 with supersampling. Now it works.

So this is really bad! I cant get AA to work. I have tried it all. Fullscreen, window mode... no luck. Forced AA global with nhancer - No AA Forced AA profile with nhancer - No AA Set AA in the driver gobal - No AA Have no problems with other games. Why is there no ingame option for AA? I dont believe that this is a bug with the 280 GTX only. Anyone with a 280 here? Please!

The main thing that stopped me from upgrading from my X45 to X52 Pro is, that the rudder rocker is gone. I think it is a neat system. I really wonder how the feeling is with the rudder integrated into the flight stick? I somehow cant imagine that it is a good way to handle the rudders by turning the flight stick.

I have the 180.48 driver and nhancer with my GTX280. But AA does not work at all in fullscreen. Havn't tried it in window mode. Anyone using nhancer, can you please tell me what *.exe do you refer to in your nhancer profile? I really need AA! My system is Windows XP
