Wolf Rider

cool... so no real need for the dummy spit then, was there? cheers, and no offense intended :)

That's the thing with DCS... if you're getting frustrated, its because you're doing it wrong. Slow down, find what it is you need to improve/ learn how to properly/ study how the AI go about- as a guide/ see if you can find some youtube vids of the authentic in action, then enjoy :)

Have you run the MSVC package that is part of (contained within) the DCS: World download? (The DirectX redis is there as well) Perhaps you may have installed a language pack recently?

Thanks Yo Yo, I and many others really do appreciate your diligence... well, the whole team but thank you

Something which happened many many years ago... all but forgotten these days

Japan going into Manchuria as they did, by setting up a puppet State, had the US upset though... and upset enough by the last straw of an invasion (Nanking, etc) to eventually slap oil blockades on Japan. This forced japan to go and take them from surrounding countries and eventually, to try and slap the US at Pearl Harbour. In the meantime, Japan tried to slap Russia, but Russia hit back with a bigger stick, forcing Japan to not consider heading north west again ('37 - '45).

You can't apply what happens in the real world with your eyes to what happens on a two dimensional monitor screen which has a three dimensional world projected onto it though

That's just it though... you don't have peripheral vision in a monitor, unless you are physically surrounded by them. You have an image that you are constantly using your acuity field to look at parts of... you said so yourself. (Acuity is the very narrow field which allows for focus enough to read - look at the centre of a page full of print, A4 size held at arm's length, and see if you can read a line at the very top of that page... without flicking your eyes up even a little bit)

:thumbup: the real world solution is our peripheral vision (which detects motion) which assists our acuity field (that 3 degree field of sharp focus)... this peripheral vision does not exist on a monitor, so the FoV is widened to attempt to counter that lack, and that is where the problems begin. zooming out/ zooming in/ zooming out/ zooming in, etc, which distorts the image in comparison to the default FoV. smart scaling throws the distancing judgement off the expensive (partial) solution could be to run 3 monitors and have a 20 degree FoV projecting on each (not treating the 3 monitors as one very wide screen though, with 60 degrees across the lot)

Have you installed another App recently? there could be some sort of inter- App (process running in the background) conflict going on try a clean boot http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 and see if the problem goes away.

no, not bug... that's how FoV responds when shifting its value, using current technology, its a distortion and relayed by the fixed size of the monitor. Similar happens with 35mm photography and different lenses.

I'd much rather wait until it was ready over having something half-baked being released.

George Clooney... corka Dunno what it is, but I think women punch out the best bass...

:music_whistling:

be very careful using registry cleaners... they can sometimes clean away a little bit too much. What condition (and size) is your PSU in Digitaljjd? you bet we are ;)

@ Airsmetten... Try dropping the overclock on the i7 860 back to its default? and see if you can post up (readable screen shot) the results report from the Dependency Walker. @ Markymark... how many releases (2008/ 2010/ 2012 32bit and 64bit) of the C++ do you have on your rig, and is your system RAM in good order (Memtest?) and which antivirus are you running?

not to quote your post directly, but to further discussion...there are many sticks out in the wild, which have different sensitivities (some 8 bit. some 16 bit, some 32 bit). Which means; a setting for one brand stick, might not play as well for another brand stick.

Bucky, the Kickstater isn't a shop, it is startup which is being bought into. The startup may succeed, and it may not... Similarly, a gold mine start up could be bought into (on the promise that if it hits paydirt, you get a percentage of the booty). Now, the gold might be found, then again, it might not.. if it doesn't, you lose the investment, they abandon the mine - however someone else comes along, who takes a chance with the mine and digs a little deeper, and whereas before, you lost the lot, the new owner hits paydirt and chooses to still offer a part of what the previous deal was - they don't have to but they do.

Bring on the DCS WWII: Pacific Theatre, I say :)

no :) Can't win it if you're not in it... :thumbup:
