LOL, that was right after a reboot.

I tried changing it in Notepad++ and it wouldn't let me with a small pop up saying make sure this isn't being used right now when I had everything but Notepad++ shut down.

GG, DO NOT tell me what to say and what not to say unless I am breaking the rules of the forum. I have worked with ED and know how they priortize things, unless it has changed drastically, they don't prioritize very well. I would like to say though that it seems things are different because of the excellent shape that BS is in. (I think you can thank Matt Wagner for that.) I am meerly saying what I think should happen and if you don't like it, say so, but DO NOT tell me what I can't say, unless there is a rules violation in what I said.

I did not know that. It just seemed like an odd resolution that I hadn't seen in any sim before. Does the monitor report to the OS and then the OS to the Sim and the sim lists the resolution?

The point is they should be coding DCS A-10C or maybe they are too far into that, then they should be coding DCS ??? to Multithread, use all a CPU' s cores, and for SLI/Crossfire. Don't do it now, and maybe not with A-10, but anything after that should have all issue's addressed.

Got it, thanks.

If they code to take advantage of all the cores of a CPU, then the next bottle neck is the GPU. Plus they have already talked about off loading some of the load from the CPU to the GPU, though I don't know if that will make it in DCS A10. To get rid of all bottle necks, they need to code for all bottle necks and not just one. Once one is coded for and eliminated, then another will pop up. Until they are all gone, progress should move forward and not stop at one fix.

I disagree with you if you are talking it being a waste on DCS as a whole. For Black Shark, I agree. For follow on AC, the sim should be coded to take advantage of every thing that will create better FPS within the sim.

Where does one get Notepad ++. I have Win Vista Home Prem and it ain't with that.

Good luck on your quest Dmark. I look forward to seeing what you can come up with.

Oh I could justify it. Man when your wife isn't tech savy, you can justify about anything. :D I just hope we can get ED to put the required native resolution in the game so it can be fully utilized.

I agree with that. Make the sim, as it is, run as close to perfect as is humanly possible, then move on and put all the resources to doing the same with DCS A10C.

My next upgrade. Just got a new puter, so I should be able to save up for this bad boy by the time it is released :D My guess on price is $2500 USD.

My understanding is that the CPU/GPU makers make the technology available but it is up to the sim/game makers to code the game to take advantage of multiple cores or multiple GPU's. Am I wrong about this?

To convert Falcon 4.0/Allied Force fans, something would have to be done to the campaign. It would have to come with many more campaigns as they are built now or a dynamic campaign like is in Allied Force. That is the only way they would convert.

I will get Verizon FIOS the hot minute it becomes available. I'll get 3 times the bandwidth for less than half the price I am paying right now for cable internet thru Charter. Unfortunately it will prolly be a couple of years before it gets to my neck of the woods.

Remind me (and everyone else who might not know), you can send targets via datalink to other AC that are not in your flight as long as you are on the same radio freq (for Multiplay purposes)?

Thanks you so much. Rshift P

So let me be lazy ask what the key commands for to see the pilot in the cockpit? Thanks in advance.

There is no auto lock in Black Shark. It is all done manually.

Make sure teh targetting box is not to big and actually the smaller the better. Make sure you are within range. Also make sure you "lock" the target twice. One hit of the lock ground stablizes the system and the second hit of the lock will actually lock the target. Then you play the game of getting it in firing parameters. I hope this helps.

I do wish that if there is no one to fill the slot, that the AI would fly the flight. But that is a wish list item.

If you have other choppers in there that are Clients then they only take off with someone in them. If you holler for help and they don't come runnin, I would find some other wingies to fly with :)

Kewl Grimes, thanks for the explanation. It sounds like what we have in the campaign builder in which you can dictate which mission comes next by the results of the mission you just flew. Nice work for LOMAC. It needed it.

Not a bug but a feature. You cannot add a wingman to a helo set to Client. Limitation of the sim. For each additional AC you want set to Client, you have to add another group. Always been this way and I doubt it will change anytime soon.
