:) That is not what I said. I said 'clock speed' - no mention of overclocking in the same sentence or paragraph.

Keep in mind though, that OCing in general is going to become less and less viable with these newer architectures - as we are seeing with Ivy Bridge. Their thermal density keeps increasing, as well as their overall efficiency... so the need to OC will die out. Now, of course clock speed will still matter for poorly coded applications... but let's hope developers continue pursuing perfection in their art.

I believe this quote from Anandtech summarizes Ivy Bridge pretty well: I, for one, am actually due for an upgrade, so will be playing around with Ivy sometime next week. Source: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5771/the-intel-ivy-bridge-core-i7-3770k-review/22

Good quote, and good point. The only issue here, in my opinion, is that ED's following is a lot less ADD than millions of teenage boys running around "pwning noobs" in FPSes that are released on average at 1 new (decent) title every 3-4 months. So with a generally, and there are exceptions, more educated and mature crowd there isn't much going on outside the realm of Eagle Dynamics as opposed to Valve vs Bioware vs EA vs {Insert Name}. As far as I know, the only thing you can do other than count days till the next ED announcement/update is to go give BMS a try, just not much choice. I personally prefer minesweeper... I heard a rumor that Microsoft is planning an MMO based off of Minesweeper.

Oh yeah, fed from the aircraft. The in-missile bottle is only enough for 20sec of cooling, which given the ranges should be plenty.

You are right, up to 70min of cooling but takes up to 2 minutes to reach operating temps dependent on atmospheric temps. 20secs of on-board cooling after launch. Been a while since I read those docs.

While the systems certainly help perform tasks quicker, ergonomics and pilot training is an equally important factor, so just the airframe itself will not be a proper benchmark. Also, have to keep in mind that neither the F-15A-B-C or the SU-27S of the 80s are really meant to be in a sterile environment... both become exponentially more efficient with support from AWACS, GCI or even a wingman. Which is even still often biased, due to human factor... pit an Ace pilot vs. a Newbie... won't be a trustworthy result. Interesting, how come you feel this way? Unless of course DCS isn't planning any OPFOR birds at all... the 27 and 29 are really the only candidates here. Definitely, I am sure you follow a thread by Mikhail Viktorovich (a former SU-25 pilot), he mentions multiple times that pilots do a lot of "dry runs" where they get in the cockpit and run through all the procedures on the ground long before mission time, as well as pre-configure certain systems per mission profile. I am certain so do BLUFOR pilots. An F-15 takes off and CAPs the area for 4 hours and achieves nothing except burnt fuel, an F-16 takes off and gets lucky enough to have 5 half-broken MiG-17s flying at it... gets 5 kills in the first 20 minutes. Which one is more effective? I think you mean that a multi-role jet is better than a single-role jet... in that case yes, definitely. This is what we are seeing with all air forces in the world now, moving away from classifications such as fighter, interceptor etc. When do you cool your 73 warheads? before take off? what if there are no bandits and you just wasted your cooling, and all of the sudden your missiles are one quarter as effective? Will be fun :) Who blinks first.

I don't quite agree with that statement - that if there was a high-fidelity SU-27S or even MiG-29A simulator it would require a lot of operations to perform a 'simple' task. As has been mentioned before... a lot of the switch flipping is done way in advance of entering into contact with the target, the rest is either directly on the HOTAS, or in the case with SU-27S right under the Throttle (for radar control, etc.). Also, don't forget pre-flight preparation by flight crew for the mission profile they are going to fly... even in modern birds this is still done... in fact I might even argue that modern birds require a lot more preparation and "customization" for each specific mission due to their multi-role capability than frames from the 80s. Now, what you will not have is Air Quake style missions where just after you go wheels up you are expected to engage the target within 20 clicks - but who will not be happy about that?

I see what you did thar! :P Quoting from the internal bug tracker, are we? :smilewink: I agree, public bug trackers won't work for such immense projects, they barely work with small pieces of software that are designed to perform 1-2 functions at most, and even they make the developers want to end their lives. I think you guys did a great job with the Public Geh-10C beta sub-forums for bugs, and from the sounds of it are going to do the same with P-51 Moose-tongue, so right on.

Can't wait for those lights in FC3... don't really fly Geh-10 much.

The moderators of course!

Nice one Crunch! :thumbup:

Увы, но мы выбываем. Не проверил что 8е Мая это середина недели, когда изначально смотрел был Март месяц... в 1300зулу у нас в основном все ещё на работе.

There are other planes in FC2!?!

For the time being I went back to flying with BK2 and have the TFS3 waiting for better integration with FC3/DCS series.

I love these type of threads... I would pay my money for sending goats to a random family in africa, donations to religious fanatics that will kill other religious fanatics and film it, personal favorite "saving the world" oh and of course hookers, drugs, alcohol and rock n' roll :punk: Looking forward to grilling P-51s with my afterburners on the ramps... #wtf

I think, if it becomes a regular sight (monthly) than it might just do the trick. Unlike the failed attempts at running Twitter... last update from @eagledynamics is from November 22nd.

Selling a lawn mower for $35k takes some talent.

FYI ED: Newsletter was marked as spam and went into the spam folder on GMail.

NAVY officials saying that the aircraft went down right after take off...

Notice engine nozzles...

F-18D, pilots ejected. 5-6 buildings damaged, each building houses 8 apartments. So far no deaths reported.

51ый Полк ПВО - предварительно 4 борта (возможно 5-6). Моя аська тут на форуме есть, плюс ЛС. Из за временных поясов (мы отовсюду), посещать тренировки сможем только на выходных.

Создал тему на нашем форуме, посмотрю сколько из наших подпишиться. В прошлом году нам очень понравилось отвлечься от боевых вылетов. Надеюсь в этом году повторить.

and a confirmed one by ED Team itself - stop trying to downplay bugs as "oh its a simplification" and then going in other threads and "ZOMG MY F-15 CAN'T SHOOT MISSILES BACKWARDS WHILE I AM IN GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT!!!"
