we need a tutorial style manual...

go to replay and, inside the "demo" folder, you will find several tracks for watching.

15 fps? don't you all think that this is weird. i know the game makes heavy use of cpu power. but to that extent? look at the specs from Icarus! :cry: EDIT: 4Ghz ram, thats nice!

if you want, send your mission file for us to take a look.

sorry dragon, i'm still crawling with the mission editor. hope someday i'll have the time. good luck!

man, i tried to tell you about those drop-down combo-boxes... you said you were able to manage that with your eyes closed. but i'm happy you've made it. have a good time with the shark now! :smilewink:

well put. the "winter attack" demo shows exactly how attacks would be approached using the black shark... it certainly takes time.

yeah, i would leave the ekran to the end of the procedure. thanks for the tips!

but we know they have the balls! :thumbup:

their site does not have an e-mail address. i found this bureau contact form: http://www.exportbureau.com/company_report.html?code=4710&name=kamov_company

maybe the engine development of dcs started well before microsoft launched vista... maybe even before the spread of multicore processors.

did you read the GUI manual? lots of information on the mission editor there.

sorry Vortex, i don't understand what you're saying with "Video cards are and CPU's are very different". well, i would say that, nowadays, the lack of multicore support is a bug, especially in simulators. this alone justifies ED releasing a patch for DCS. some other things to include in a possible patch might be the correcting of sound glitches (discussed elsewhere) and the switching to and from the desktop while loading the game engine (discussed elsewhere, too). surely, i can wait for that, but it needs to be done. :thumbup:

i have mailed them asking for this. :D nothing until now.

alright. i just thought it would be written in the manual.

well, then lets just hope ED patches DCS as soon as possible. :)

thanks Reaper, so all that you said should be in the manual, right? well, i will simply ignore what the manual says and will not turn on the hydraulics/transmission group and ekran power supply. sincerely, i would like to know why they put that step in their startup sequence without mentioning it would cause a lot of alarms to fire up. i'm feeling that the product i bought isn't yet a "study sim".

i think i'm not turning off the hydraulics. i turn on the hydraulics/transmission group and ekran power supply switch, as the manual says. look at the screenshot (from the manual). it says to turn it on just after the batteries. “ВМГ ГИДРО ЭКРАН – ОТКЛ” (Hydraulics/transmission group and EKRAN power supply) switch [LCTRL + LSHIFT + N] and cover. [LALT + LCTRL + LSHIFT + N] Provides power to EKRAN Warning System, hydraulics, and transmission group control sensors."i also recorded a track (attached to this message), so you can see what i'm doing. if you have the time to watch it, i would be thankful! main-transmission.trk

where? i thought it was the same switch as the ekran. yeah, i just tried that (started the apu and left engine with throttle on auto).

without anti-aliasing or with 16x quality anti-aliasing applied, i get the same fps. i think this is sad. never seen this happen before. i think the software makes bad use of cpu/gpu combination. i think it's delegating a lot of work to the cpu (including graphics). that would explain my anti-aliasing issue. EDIT: i'm thinking i think too much.

hi, i must have changed something in my startup procedure today. don't know what. can you help me. as the manual says, i do the following: 1. turn on batteries (AC/DC). 2. turn on intercom. 3. turn on the ekran and hydraulic system (master warning light pops up with main gearbox red light turned on). is this ok? the manual does not say it would turn on. 4. check all lights. 5. turn on navigation and cockpit lights. 6. turn on the abris. 7. turn on k-041. 8. set pvi into operation mode. 9. turn on wcs. 10. adf initial setup. 11. turn on uv-26 (countermeasures system). 12. turn on vhf-2. 13. request permission for engine start from control tower. 14. check vmu (the audio message is not what the manual says?) 15. enable fuel meter. 16. close the door. 17. open apu fuel shut-off valve. 18. open fuel tank boost pumps (aft, fwd). 19. start the apu. 20. wait 1 minute for warmup before turning on the engines. 21. disengage the rotor brake. 22. open left engine fuel shut-off value. 23. turn on eeg for left engine. 24. start left engine and wait till it gets to 20% (through the rpm gauge). 25. open left engine cut-off lever. after that, the audio message "check ekran" plays twice. on the ekran, i see the messages "MAIN TRANSMISSION OIL PRESSURE" and "LEFT TRANSMISSION OIL PRESSURE". what am i doing wrong? am i getting the hydraulic system up and running correctly? am i rushing some part of the startup procedure? thanks in advance!

same here! i'm also starting to do circuits now. just created a free flight mission that i can establish an area which i want to fly around. this helps me to practice controlling attitude, airspeed, altitude... just hope my lap times improve soon, 'cause i'm still slow boy... :smilewink:

i mean.. post if you think it would be nice for the others to see. i know some people in this forum that have the guts to do so. maybe they're a little shy. i thought this because i like to see the demos that came with the game. yes, you can see what the person was doing with the controls. in fact, you can see every little thing that happened in the cockpit (used switches, head movement, etc.) open one of the demos and press RCTRL+ENTER. talking about the demos, there are maneuvers in the demos that the pilot makes heavy use of the rudder pedals to turn the helicopter (eg. the one that do the hammerheads). see ya!

right, i know it wouldn't be feasible to make it prettier, but as it's cpu bound, it should support more than 2 cores. as you say, it's probably coming soon. thanks for your replies!
