Change game opening Soundtrack...got my music...saves as .ogg Renamed 2 identical files MainMenuIn.ogg and MainMenuLoop.ogg Where do I place them??.... I want it for the time DCS Open Beta loads BEFORE I choose a specific plane or helo!! Every other forum has people placing them in.... C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\<Aircraft Name>\Sounds\EditorMusic. But it is not working. Please advise!

Just hit me.... All I had to do was start DCS "as administrator" and BAM!! Full screen on a 3440x1440 34 " monitor. All is good!! Thanks guys

I have a MSI GTX 1080 TI 11Gb card. Been playing on it in DCS for over a year on 3440x1440. Upgraded CPU from AMD 3600 to AMD 5600. Now when I enter DCS it gives me 2560x1440.... so In options I change it to 3440x1440 and click X upper right corner. Screen dosen't change so back into options but resolution still says 2560x1440 again. Over and overI have tried to change resolution...am I missing something? No OK button on bottom of options seen just X upper corner?? Maybe my 1080TI card is bad? Please advise thank you!

Here is what I have

Actually it is more like 1 zig in a zig zag moving along a straight line in the distance , back and fourth slowly. It is sort of annoying!

My Rig...Geforce 1080Ti 11GB, AMD Rysen 5 3500, 32GB Ram, 3440x1440 monitor. At a distance I see straight lines moving or pulsing along the line. Any thoughts?

I have a Thrustmaster Warthog Combo. Do I save profiles for every aircraft and helicopter I have? I have noticed when I save it saves a joystick or throttle. Do I highlight the (let's say) joystick column then save and do the same for the throttle column then save too?

I have a Thrustmaster Warthog combo... Per each DCS aircraft and helicopter module, do you have to upload specific profiles for that bird? Where is a good place to store them in, C drive or external hard drive?

Thank you I will try a multiplayer situation.

Fudge Sickle! Ya I guess the AI is weak and can't lead unless scripted. Maybe.... a partially scripted mission just to get your team to target area with enemy firing on the flight upon arrival which does sounds doable. Maybe script the lead to initiate just 1 shot with the rest left up to you and then all exit homeward. No loitering around to make it simple.

Looking for a mod that allow you to place a series of hoops suspended in the air for helicopters or planes to go navigate through at diffrent elevations and locations.

All the missions I have or seen involve me leading or solo. Are there any missions where I can fly wingman positions and have AI lead so I can learn a little technique and follow?

Looking to set up a screen shot of height and distance,as a visual go by for...Rule of thumb... How far distance from landing point to START alitiude 500 and speed 50 and flight path vector -200fpm? Just need the distance!

Worked with Forced trim release before Huey and Hind.... saw how it kicks in and how to invoke it. Bound it to my Warthog china hat up for Force trim release, right for Altitude, left for attitude and down for diseegage. Went flying and could not get it going. I changed from the china hat to a 4-way switch, same results. I saw in one of Wags Ah-64D videos a 4 instrument showing the force in action for the yaw, roll, etc. Which I do not see on the screen. Looking for some help here guys.

Altitude hold, yes it has one. Flight path? Not really... as far as I can tell 'forced trim' the roll straight and hope it dosen't vary. Now I guess I can look down, work the MFD screens and hope it dosen't drift. Is this correct??

What does the profile look like? Any profiles with Gunner giving flight directions to the AI Pilot?

For years I have avoided Target software due to it's unfriendly nature in all my DCS modules, never used a short press - long press, just in game control options and modifiers. The Wags video on AI tonight showcased the SP-LP in communicating with George whitch looked good. My only thoughts on this is using "RSmapper" instead to acomplish SP-LP. Any other sugestions?

Autopilot has not been fully explained. I understand Apache having a Force feedback system with (Release and Attitude and Altitude ending in Release) just like MI-24 HIND. Now the Hind also had (Hover button, speed, button and route button). Does Apache have that?? I also noticed that in the last video from Matt the Apachee in the upper right corner had the SAME HIND Stabilization (H-K-T-B) showing. I this going to be in english?

Thanks!!

I'm confused... I have a DCS World Open Beta and have had it for years. I am guessing that this DCS World Open beta is a standalone platform?? With this AH-64D Early release am I going to be able to run this, I think it is a Steam version? In all the modules I have already they specify will not work with steam. I do have a Steam account but never done multiplayer with it. please advise me.

Just installed Reshade and it looks fantastic! Problem...ReShade screenshots no showing! Looked in my Saved Games\ DCS Openbeta\screenshots

Since AH-64D ONLY has two catagories offered to make forum talk on and this sim so close to comming out. I appogized for placing an optimization topic on controllers & profiles. The ONLY other category left is wishlist. The only thing really missing is the idea that DCS needs to open up the forum alot to accomodate more than just two categories!.... Agreed?? With Waggs thankfully offering up tons of information we need an avenue to forum many questions about. Merry Christmas to all!!!

I appreciate the dialouge guys, thanks for your help!! Keep your tidd bits of information comming in. I am definitely taking note on your comments and hopefully can take advantage of your suggestions. My goal is to tailor make a better customization plan in DCS adding FPS where I can, flying low!

Fair response,true... I have all the helicopters to date and apache is the last at this point. Just got carried away with Apache. That being said the tree slider and preload slider may be the only ones to a short optimization, maybe more. I don't know!

Every optimization discussion ever done before today deals exclusively from the perspective of PLANES and their views and FPS, thousands of feet in the sky. With the upcomming AH-64D Apache comming soon, we have never ever discussed the optimization for this new theater of play that will effect DCS.... "The 300 feet and below theater". The same rules I would think, MAY NOT APPLY, with trees and buildings as now a major focus of the Helicopters equasion in this new lower perspective theater that the AH-64D Apache now finds itself in. It's now the ground being close up, no longer 5 thousand feet away.... now the clouds are thousands of feet away as the polar opposite. Realistically most of the global DSC Global settings won't change much but some will. Please excuse this discussion as it may not be in the right area but none the less it is where it started. Thank you!
