Haven't read everything but try to run it in window mode so uncheck the fullscreen box. Won around 40 fps straight with this change. I don't know why because everything else performs better in fullscreen mode except for dcs :)

I found a "quick fix" yesterday when i forgot to lock and seal my canopy and left it on the runway. :D:thumbup:

Ah that would be another funny feature when you get downed and are still alive, you should have a flare and smoke with you so that the huey/mi pilots can come and grab you, bringing you back to the base or you get captured because its an enemy chopper and you are on hostile territory. :)

You already have FC3 so no need to piss of, but i think 6 different aircraft with simplified systems are enough to get to grips with the physics. Simulation games which are aiming for a "as close to real life as possible" experience are a niche in every genre! And flight sims are a quite small niche too if you compare it to racing sims. And because of that there is a smaller market for hardware like joysticks and pedals, but if you invest 200 in a good stick you will be happy with it the next 5 years. So its 40 bucks a YEAR come on thats not even 4bucks a month. If you can't get immersed through a game and you just see it as a casual fps fragging platform than be happy u have a couple of "less buttons to remember" planes, but don't expect everything gets simplified when its constantly evolving, just because you see it as entertainment and not as a hobby like many others. People are building their own cockpit replicas just for 1 module and some of them are real pilots and have flown those planes. Even if i am never able to fly one of those birds i still like the fact that i would be able to get it up and running and maybe in the air.

I am gonna buy it for sure since i also bought the normandy map for ww2 immersion. It's a bit strange when you play a mission with the ww2 assets and do a gun run onto a tank in front of a nuclear powerplant :) Its not that bad in multiplayer because i am focusing on different things but in single player mode its a bit of an immersion breaker for me. I didn't buy nevada because its a test and training range and i am really not interested in shooting dummies on a real target range. I know a lot of the US players gonna like it and a lot of those pilots who use DCS more as personal training tool than a "game". But for me the price is just too much for a couple of low flybys around vegas.

In singleplayer i really enjoy campaigns where a lot of work was put into the scenario of the campaign. Lots of text and background information, i don't need voice overs they're just a really huge bonus but i really enjoy the stories through the campaigns like the F86/MiG15 Relic campaign, great stuff. I really would love to see the Luftwaffe Pilot campaigns from il2, those were really nice atmospheric missions if somebody knows them. Since a couple of weeks i am enjoying multiplayer and just flying in sp if the servers with the settings i like doesn't have any players. I am really enjoying the historic content on dcs, ww2 warbirds, early jet fighters up to the late 80s mid 90s birds. I don't know how to say it properly but i like stuff where the skill of the user is more important than its technology. I am really not interested in doing a 35km kill with a rocket where the biggest hurdle was to get the bird up into the air. And i am not a good pilot i die a lot because of really stupid mistakes or stress related mistakes ;) But that's the enjoyable part for me. Being able to fly those machines without a proper education for it. Learning by doing since it doesn't cost me money or health when i crash ;) And for the bugs which are still there for me its not a big deal because dcs is a huge sandbox and if you create something really huge there will be bugs and errors but as long as its not crashing 8 times a day i can live with a lot because for me there is still a lot to explore. Ka50 was my first module around 8 years ago and its the one i played the most, right now i am enjoying the mig21 and the sabre and getting to grips with huey, but i have so much to choose from it just doesn't get boring. :)

Honestly all your arguments come to the point that you don't wanna invest time into a specific module and still want to fly it without knowing anything about it. Sure its hard to remember all those different systems and characteristics but its the same for real pilots. Those guys don't fly 12 different fighter or attack planes in their career because its ****ing demanding to learn all those systems and get a routine into it to be able to use everything in a real situation. And its quite more difficult for them because if they make a mistake they die. Its much easier to find your limits with a module in a simulation because when you crash, you can start all over again. And even when its not that hard to simplify systems so that it would be a FC3 standard IT TAKES TIME. Even if its just 2 days everybody else thinks those 2 days are better invested in a new module, platform upgrade or a bugfix.

None. Sorry but the biggest problem would be that it would somehow unbalance the Multiplayer part. There are a lot of players out there who would use any advantage they can get and if you have other modules with simplified avionics, people who actually learned the plane are in a disadvantage. I just pick the mig21 for instance because i fly it alot and on multiplayer there were a couple of stress-related situations where i couldn't fire my missile because i just forgot to open the cover switch for the weapon release button. ;) And for singleplayer you have the cheat buttons for startup and active pause for everything else. If you are not interested in learning a plane than you really should look for a game where everything is simplified.

Hi, Nvidia invented a new way for them to use up to 16 screens with just one GPU. They introduced it with the pascal series and it seems that developers have to implement it to their products to take advantage from it. I really would like to see this in DCS since setting up multiple displays should be a lot easier and also performance should go up with this. I don't know how much fuzz its gonna be to implement it in an existing software but it should be easier to set everything up for multiple displays. Thank you!
