Enable particle effects as a graphics quality option (high/low/disable etc.). Some older graphics cards really can't handle particles very well; for example, my Nv8400 runs DCS at a steady 25 fps as long as i'm not causing any ground effect particle effects. Automatically handle dual processor affinity. There is a huge performance boost for enabling multiple processors, but having to bring up task manager and manually changing affinity after starting DCS is a bit of a pain. Allow high-quality cockpit textures as a seperate graphics setting, even when the texture setting is overall set to low. Labels within the cockpit are unreadable unless textures are set to medium, and even then some are still unreadable. Optionally render the HUD on the first focal plane, so that detail isn't lost due to aliasing at lower resolutions. For example, finding a level roll angle is quite difficult sometimes, as the 'wings' of the aircraft on the hud are aliased to become near invisible.

Aft cyclic?

Hello all, I'm new to this rotary wing dealie, so bear with me for a few (hopefully simple) questions. 1. I would like the AP to autostabilise yaw, but it appears heading hold only has modes for yaw to track and yaw to waypoint. When flying with HH enabled, I have to fight the black shark to fly on the bearing I want to fly on, while the aircraft constantly tries to yaw according to the HH mode. So I end up with funny looking flight. Is there a mode that will merely cancel any unwanted yawing (ie. the AP will hold a heading unless on yaw input or banking)? 2. The standby attitude indicator is up to 30 degrees incorrect after only minutes of flight. Could this contribute to wild autopilot behaviour? (given that, the SAI is a respresentation of the INS input, which i presume is the source of the AP). 3. The aircraft is extremely unstable without AP stabilisation, and even with, I'm so hamfisted I turned down my joystick pitch and roll to 50% saturation. Albiet, I completely have to fight the aircraft to do everything , and it's quite difficult to hold, say, a negative pitch, as the AP bucks against my inputs. Whats going on here? Thanks for helping a newbie.
