  1. The dash moving is perfectly normal and realistic. The airframe generates a lot of vibration in reality, this is what you are experiencing. Sent from my E5553 using Tapatalk
  2. If they get the gameplay right, a la DI I'm sold. A GR3 would be ideal, but any Tornado would get my money. Happy days.:thumbup:
  3. I got a rift 6 months ago and it totally blew me away. Once you take the jump and get one, only then will you get it.
  4. I have it all updated and while 2.1 will fly in Nevada, Normandy, everytime you try to generate a flight, simply drops back to the main screen. The map doesn't come up in advanced planning and fails to generate any mission. Seriously disappointed. I can get into it with Hawk missions. FPS 6, looks nothing like the videos we have been shown. I'll keep an open mind while I play and tweak. First impressions are not good.
  5. I can get 2.1 working with Nevada but Normandy refuses to work. What a disappointment that is.
  6. Has anyone got it working yet. First attempt was a crash. Just updating drivers and restarting. 2.1 has a new look.
  7. Thanks for that mrsteel, That also led me to JGSME, still waiting for the update to finish, but I think these tools with help immensely expand the experience. I don't get to play often enough to mess around with mods, but this makes it pretty simple. Thanks.
  8. I'm assuming thats how it works Jack. Assets pack is supposed to work in 1.5, but it is not yet available that I can see. Maybe the update and later today the servers will have Normandy and the Assets pack. Comments seem to point at a time around 10am Pacific time, maybe in an hour. Patience is a virtue today I guess.:thumbup:
  9. Seems so, ah well, waited long enough, another hour or so won't kill me.:music_whistling:
  10. Good point, logic says yes, but lets see. A good job its Friday :music_whistling: Just read the press release and updating it seems installs the map. "To install the new map, please update your DCS World 2 Open Alpha, or download from DCS site."
  11. Go to Eagle Dynamics in the start menu, and there should be an option to update 1.5 and a separate one for 2.
  12. Just hit update and downloading now. I'm in Netherlands 2.5 mbs.
  13. 4am on the Pacific coast, another 6 hours or so, I reckon.
  14. While there is a huge amount of inertia in a 206 rotor system, there is not nearly enough to lift off and do a 180. Somebody has been reading too much Chickenhawk. ;)
  15. I can auto rotate a real helicopter. I've not flown a real Huey, closest is a 207 or 109, both have huge blade inertia. You can autorotate a 206 and have time to spare for a coffee. Never managed one in DCS. Probably me being a crap pilot :O
  16. Nobody mentioned over torque, or EGT limits. I simply said simulating a hot start was pointless. You hit the start button. A dial rises, an imaginary engine melts. Game stops. Reset and try again, what is the point? I'm not arguing the toss just, where is there added value with this?
  17. I was simply talking about modeling hot starts. It rarely happens and is as interesting as modeling grass growing and light bulb burn outs. Hit a button, engine melts in sim, reset. I really don't get the point. i was not talking about all the rest of the stuff, just hot starts.
  18. I'm hoping for next week, but am going on vacation for two weeks a week on Sunday, so if its not ready, I'm pretty sure it will be when I get back.:thumbup:
  19. I see gamers want detailed engine management and dissagree with me. Fine, personally I think it is a waste of computing power to simulate a tiny thing that rarely ever happens. Live and let live.
  20. VR is immersion. Send me money for a hot start in a game. It is made up and not real. A dial goes up, comes down and an imaginary engine melts. What is the point of that?
  21. Forgive me for not getting the point. A hot start in the real world costs a lot of money. Nomally because someone, doesn't follow the rules on startup. What is the point in a simulation? What does it add?
  22. I don't mean to diminish others wishes for engine modeling. With over 2000 hours on real turbines, never had a hot start. Why would you want to simulate one? I just don't get it, pointless trivia. A select box, perhaps, with give me a hot start and melt the engine. What is the point?
  23. Interesting observation, I just loaded up 2 to try that and whereas I get 45 fps in 1.5, it drops to single figures when I tried your suggestion. I'll look again at my settings in 2 to see if that's the problem.
