1-Have you changed the motherboard? or just the cpu and graphic card? 2-Is this the same Win7 that you where running with the old hardware or a new clean/formated one? 3-Are you using the same settings in the nvidia control panel? presets or customized? BTW Capsilus, Vista and W7 are like 30-50% faster than XP for DCS/FC2.

Holy batman necro FTW! o_O Yo-Yo you're needed in another thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=56997

Your system doesen't really hang, the installer process seems not to respond, but let it stay some minutes and you'll see how it finally installs. It's weird but it works. Remember to install 1.0.2 over a fresh 1.0.0 blackshark, not over a 1.0.1. Oh btw, you're using XP, in Vista and W7 Blackshark goes much much faster due multicore optimizations.

Well, real ka-50 pilots helped make this simulator, and they use it in the military so it must be pretty convincing to the real deal. Check the credits in the flight manual. Anyway, I hope somebody can explain the technicalities about this, at least it would be informative.

About differences with mi-8, might be the combo of having two rotors and short blades perhaps? I don't really know Also being unloaded and with only 5% fuel in the track might help. I have hard times doing good autorotations, but I have to say your tracks are kind of weird, never seen an autorotation done with so much weirdness but also so much ease and so little input. Said that, I've never tried to do an autorotation wrong on purpose (when it gets ugly I overreact and I crash XD). But I must add, there are real autorotations in youtube that seem very easy (from the safety of an screen lol). I guess somebody from ED can have a good explanation of coaxials and autorotations.

6 cores at 20% = 2 cores at 60% It's more like directx is "separating" threads in the process, not that the sim is optimized for multicore cpu (outside the sound engine that has its own thread).

Check those priced more or less the same: i5 760 (4 core 2.8Ghz 8MB caché) i5 661 (2 core 3.33Ghz 4MB caché) I would pick i5 760, mainly because there are some simulators out there that use them (RoF, Arma, etc.).

Except there is a bug in some installations that when you install the simulator in real mode (the installer asks you), it switches to game mode. Anyway, tracks would be the best way, hard to say anything else without them.

Are you flying in "game" mode or "real" mode? check gameplay options. Upload those tracks, what you'r explaining doesen't happen to me. When autorotating, if I make a little mistake I go down like a brick and crash.

Remember to install FC2 as an administrator (right click on setup.exe and "run as an administrator") and if possible outside /program files (assuming you use Vista or W7, wich both run FC2 way faster than XP) and/or with UAC off.

It depends on keyboard. In mine (spanish) it's the key "ç / }", just left of backspace. Manual is made for english keyboards.

Very nice! -Wich specific features of dx11 are you going to use? tessellation for terrain? multithreading? physics calculated through shaders? -Will this dx11 engine bring any kind of optimization (quality and/or perfomance) for dx9 and/or dx10 graphic cards?

Very cool man, lots of tracks in 1.0.0 versión and way more detailed that the videos provided in 1.0.2 (those are more like a quick resume, it's ok for a first watch).

hei hei that is what the spanish ED translator explained in the spanish forum some days ago. And I have't said just about translating (afaik almost no new things to translate from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2) but also about making the patch, testing, etc. It seems like almost nobody is working on the french and spanish patches.

ED is working in the french patch. After that the spanish I guess. But yeah patience is limited for lots of my friends. They installed the english 1.0.2 patch in a spanish blackshark and it works perfectly (text is in english but it's not a major problem).

I understand, and that is a courtesy ED deserves, (tho can't really control modding community). ED tools will be required in that case perhaps.

Nobody wants ED to be distracted so, can we mod the future DCS to incorporate FC2 airplanes someway? I would love to still be able to fly Su-25 in the succesive updates of DCS, even if it's low-fi (well FM is not low-fi, cockpit, etc. is).

For reference, Su-25t is Number of polygons: 52,000; Number of parts (sub shapes): 547; Skin: consists of 3 textures 2048x1024, one texture 1024x1024 , 3 textures 1024x512 , one texture 512x512. Total volume of texture is: 26 MB http://lockon.co.uk/?end_pos=9&scr=list&page=2#400 The ia F-18C is 15,800 polygons and 440 sub shapes. http://lockon.co.uk/index.php?end_pos=10&scr=list Some old tips from ED: http://lockon.co.uk/index.php?end_pos=545&scr=default

If you'r using XP, switching to Vista or W7 will make you go from, i.e., 20s to 30s fps. Also, install 1.0.2 patch.

Yes, if you are in a dual core in XP, switching to Vista or W7 will make go from, i.e., 20s to 30s fps. Almost like magic.

Second time I hear that in a week. Have you selected simulation mode activated by default during the installation? (remember, there is a moment when it asks you about it) Steam, dvd or website download?

1.0.2 campaign folder is different: Missions\Campaigns\bs\en

Use notepad++ to edit .lua files or you might screw up them. It's free for download.

Well, in all honesty, Condor is the best sailplane simulator.
