16 Gb vs 32 Gb I would get stutters on the Caucasus map when I had 16 Gb. Persian Gulf over the cities would freeze for ten seconds before the sim would shut down to desktop. Switched to 32 Gb and the sim never drops below 60 fps which is all I need and it never crashes now. Smooth as butter now...

I looked through my stuff but couldn't find the sim. Must have given it away when we moved. If your computer is running Windows 7 64 bit you shouldn't have a problem getting it to run. No guarentees about Vista or Windows 10.

I did the same thing when I first flew the F-5. If ED wanted to dummy proof the TACAN they would disable clicking on the left knob. :)

Your wife's a keeper. Haven't been on Steam in ages. Download the Open Beta here - https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/ This includes Caucasus, the Su25T and a trainer version of the P-51 for free. There used to be a huge lag between release on Open Beta and Steam - don't know if that's still the case.

Sir, he hath never fed of the dainties that are bred in a book; he hath not eat paper, as it were; he hath not drunk ink: his intellect is not replenished; he is only an animal, only sensible in the duller parts: And such barren plants are set before us, that we thankful should be, Which we of taste and feeling are, for those parts that do fructify in us more than he. For as it would ill become me to be vain, indiscreet, or a fool, So were there a patch set on learning, to see him in a school: But omne bene, say I; being of an old father's mind, Many can brook the weather that love not the wind.

Words are inadequate for teaching helicopter flight - fixed wing is much easier. Just explore the different types of flight and train your brain. Hover in ground effect Hover out of ground effect Transitional lift Retreating blade stall - lots of right cyclic needed when moving fast Vertical ring state - losing altitude rapidly in dirty air while stubbornly refusing to move to cleaner air Dynamic ground effect - think landing on a pitching deck with ground effect changing under you - in ground effect out of ground effect with the deck jumping up to smack the skids Partial ground effect - landing on a tall building where only one half of the rotor disk is in ground effect - I don't think this is modelled in DCS - ground effect is measured at the center of the disk because the calcs are cumbersome Auto rotation - rock with rotors hoping to keep all parts in one general location Much easier to show than to tell - get online with a patient soul on TeamSpeak I'd do it but I'm on satellite internet and am allowed 25 Gb/month

Learn to lift off the skids slowly and anticipate the forces acting on the Huey. You counter rotor torque with the left pedal. The tail rotor produces side motion to the right which means you have to counter with left cyclic and the stinker wants to move forward so you pull back on the cyclic. Any change of collective, rudder or cyclic has to be met with changes to all controls. All forces acting on the Huey are tied together. When you can lift off straight up at the same heading just hover in ground effect and try to stay in the same place with the same heading. Work on changing heading while staying over the same point. Work on putting the Huey where you want it while anticipating changes you'll have to make. Learn to stay ahead of it. When you gain forward speed you'll feel transitional lift build - you'll need less collective to maintain altitude. The other side of transitional lift is when you slow down to land and have to add collective as you lose transitional lift. Do this way above ground effect and pull back on the cyclic to stop forward motion and you'll learn about vertical ring state - where air washing around the main rotor tips makes a downdraft for the rotor disk. The way out of VRS is to move forward into clean air where the downdraft isn't. After a while you learn to land with a little forward motion so you're always in clean air. Once you're in ground effect you can stop forward motion because you're safe. To get a good feel for landing get on a shallow glideslope and fly above the runway staying above transitional lift speed until you get into ground effect. Just fly above the runway in ground effect. Then you can start pulling back on cyclic slightly to slow down while reducing collective slightly to keep from gaining altitude. It's all about staying ahead of the Huey and training your reflexes not to crash. Pretty soon you'll be doing stupid stuff like landing on strange buildings, circling backwards where you can't see where you're going. Next stop auto rotation and controlled crashing.

Here is the case I got for my last build... https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811854004 It's roomy with sensible cable routing, three bays up front. Knurled screws secure the sides - I like latches better - just preference.

Hey Chief, Best wishes sent from Washington state - get well soon dude. I have most of the modules but spend a majority of my time in the P-51 on the Caucasus map just flying around sight seeing.

Thanks... now I remember. :doh:

Running OB. Since the recent update I can't figure out how to hook the launch bar to the catapult. I set the radio to 127.5 and contact tower to request takeoff then drop the launch bar and nothing. Engage afterburners and slowly roll off front of the ship. What am I missing?

Thanks... Then the new plan is to release the brakes, firewall the throttle, jump out and let the conflagration and resulting explosion shut down everything. :lol:

I picked up the Spitfire this week and am loving it. Figured out landing without using the wingtips as brakes and how to taxi in a straight line. One escapes me though - where is the battery switch? I'm a bit OCD and have to do a complete shutdown before wandering to the officer's club. :music_whistling:

Crack the throttle a bit and wiggle it as you pull the starter.

Thanks David, this post is a thing of beauty. I'll have to stay up after midnight to watch the video - I live way past the edge of Internet Frontier.

With everyone running different settings, resolution, OS, overclocking, hardware and ideas about what late spring feels like performance is so subjective as to be meaningless. It's like asking how far to Tunbridge Wells and expecting one answer. ouPhrontis will give a small distance and I start from PNW so the distance is a third of the way around the planet. Just one idea - landing the Harrier on the helipad of Burj Al Arab...

I7 7700 with 1070 16Gb ram Flying SP I get 95 fps over the desert dropping down into the 60's flying low over the cities. If you have NTTR the performance is similar.

Bonz, I recently had a similar problem. Eight month old computer was acting like the power supply was dying - was randomly turning off the computer in Win10 and Linux. After replacing the ps I figured out that when chasing dust bunnies I had bumped the connector for the CPU cooling pump and it was loose. Reconnected and all is well since. Don't know if it'll fix your problem... Bun
