    mirrors issue with nvidia SLI

    in Video Corruption and Related Card Issues

    Posted · Edited by Diemos
    More information

    Also notice this issue goes away if the TGP is displayed on either of the MFCDs... A-G or A-A makes no difference, but as soon as you return the TGP to Standby, or switch the MFCD page away from the TGP, the flickering mirrors return.

     

    I have not tested this with the Maverick, but it stands to reason it would have the same result...

    Well stated...

     

    I can see your point regarding the axis tuning. I guess I'm not sufficiently familiar with each aircraft to require seperate tunings...

     

    But your contention that there "would be very few similar controls", I would have to say, look at the keyboard assignments. There are dozens (if not hundreds) of identical controls! Granted, they perform different functions within each airframe, but you press the same key combination to produce the desired result, therefore, it could be set once, and propagate throughout the system...

     

    So how about this as a proposal:

     

    On each controls tab you have a "Copy" button, which when clicked asks you which profile you would like to copy from, then it goes through and copies each relevant control, rather than requiring the user to do so.

     

    For example, you have the A-10C control profile set up just as you like it, then you install FC3. You go to the Options > Controls > A-10A tab, click "Copy", select A-10C, and viola! Sit back and let the computer, well known for doing repetative tasks without complaint ;), go through and match any custom control settings...

     

    That leaves you the option to go through and fine tune any individual settings, but still allows the user to get into the air with a minimum of time spent in the control options... And, of course, you would still have to go through and "fill in the blanks," but it would be a drop in the bucket compared to building each profile from scratch, as it currently does...

    I don't mean to be blunt, but you're kidding, right?!

     

    Why would you not want to be able to set up a majority of your controls once, rather than four or five times? Why wouldn't you want to be able to make one tweak to an axis curve and have it propogate throughout your arsenal? Wouldn't you rather have to delete conflicting assignments once, rather than four or five times?

     

    I'm starting to sound angry, but I'm really not... I just think anything that can be done to streamline the process of getting people into the air in a variety of aircraft, without having to spend hours fiddling with controller assignments is a good thing!

     

    If DCS World is going to be introducing as many as 15 or 20 airframes, it could be literally days setting up control profiles with the current system, and MUCH of it is redundant...

    Would it be possible to combine control profiles so we have one tab covering "universal" functions, and the individual module tabs contain only the functions unique to that module?

     

    For example, the axis functions Pitch/Roll/Yaw are probably "universal" to all the fixed wing aircraft, and odds are pretty good that the user will be using the same joystick to control each airframe... So why do we have to set up/refine those controls for EVERY aircraft?

     

    You could probably even "interpret" those basic functions to the rotary wing airframes...

     

    This could include "generic" switches, like battery, MFCD 1, and I'm sure many others could be realized.

     

    Switches and controls unique to a given airframe would still need to be broken out, but having a single "universal" tab would be a Godsend as more and more airframes are added to the DCS universe!

    Restore default joystick assignments

    in DCS World 1.x (read only)

    Posted

    All joystick assignments are located under the Options > Controls tab.

     

    That's the good news...

     

    The bad news is that you must assign ALL the options for EACH modules, via the drop down list in the upper left corner.

     

    Select a module (A-10 Sim, for example), make your assignments, lather, rinse, repeat...

     

    To reset to default, navigate to the folder C:\Users\your name\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input and delete the folder for the specific module... Or delete the entire folder to reset all. A new folder will be made the next time you start the sim...

     

    It's also STRONGLY recommended that you take the time to delete any conflicting assignments when you create your profile. The default system assigns appropriate controls to ALL the controllers it detects on your system, only sometimes they're not appropriate and can cause conflicts...

    Minimum footprint for installation?

    in Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 1 & 2

    Posted

    Reposting this to it's own thread, because I'd like some response, please...

     

    Is there a minimum footprint required of the FC1 installation for the proof of purchase check?

     

    For example, if I install FC1 to the HDD (and thereby, the registry entries), can I then manually delete all files but the .EXE and still pass the check, or do I have to keep all the files on the HDD?

     

    I do understand that I can uninstall FC1 after FC3 is installed, but if I can keep just the .EXE installed at a few MB rather than reinstalling FC1 for any given FC3 installation... :thumbup:

    Annoying activation boxes on new dcs world

    in DCS World 1.x (read only)

    Posted

    I could be wrong, but I believe if you purchased the BS2 upgrade version, you must still have BS1 installed at the time of activation...

     

    Maybe try d/l'ing and installing BS1 form DCS, use the key you got from Steam to activate BS1, then try to activate BS2 upgrade?

     

    I would guess you could uninstall BS1 afterward, but you'd have to reinstall/reactivate if you ever want to reactivate BS2 upgrade again...

    Throttle

    in Bugs and Problems

    Posted

    The P-51 in game defaults to assigning every controller to all the controls (i.e., my Logitech G700 mouse is assigned to pitch/roll using X/Y axis respectively), so go into the Options>Controllers section and clear any irrelevant assignments.

     

    If another controller is assigned to the throttle function, it might be interfering with the animation, etc.

    Where do screenshots go?

    in DCS World 1.x (read only)

    Posted · Edited by Diemos

    EtherealN, your fix does not physically move the pics to the intended folder (as I read Ironhand's intent), but instead creates a link to the DCS Screenshot folder in the Libraries/Pictures "quick link" so you can quickly view the files... Kind of like putting a shortcut to the folder somewhere so you can get at it quicker!

     

    The pictures are still stored in their original location...

     

    I assume you were aware, I just want to be sure it's clear! With all these links, pointers, etc., I think it gets more and more confusing as to where the "physical" files are really stored...

    I had this issue when I forgot to set my Asus notebook graphics to nvidia and the sim launched with the default Intel graphics... Not sure if your notebook is a hybrid, but it looks just the same...

     

    Also took 5 minutes to load and gave me 5 seconds per frame... ;)

    ** Sniped - again ;)**

     

    It simply changes your Windows 7 desktop to basic mode (solid color taskbar, etc.) when DCS goes into the actual sim. This open up some display resource for use in the game that normally go toward displaying the Aero desktop, even when it's not displayed...

     

    You see the same thing when/if you launch Flight Simulator X...
