Sorry but I'm not soviet. I'm polish like you (omg hope u ain't a soviet spy?) ;) And still nothing constructive to add my friend :cry:

Then why it doesn't translate to DCS:BS popularity? A few ppl on the servers ain't the best achievement for such realistic sim. You are very nice and honest... But I think you just don't own DCS Blackshark, thats why you don't care of Kamov in FC2.

There is a bound between realism and playability. Find it optimal makes the game better. Too much realism (like too less as well) may ruin it. Want more realism? Join your soviet army. ;) Yes, and you are the only one don't use it. ;) But seriously, still many ppl uses HL and thx to it's support we get 30-40 ppl in the Flaming Cliffs servers every day (btw. there are currently 420 guys only in Forgotten Battles right now). Sorry, I didnt, see yet. Unless you meant time just after DCS release :P

Without HyperLobby support we can only dream about more than 10 ppl on the servers. With such popularity the game will die very soon. And this is what I afraid of. Hope playability will be more important in this case.

chaff Thats right, but that means almost 100% hit for radar guided missiles launched at Kamov in FC2. I wish good luck for all Blackshark pilots! :fear: Thx for PM Bob. :thumbup:

I can just confirm :P

and this is what I was talking about in my pots. MHz wins (especially in sims).

my DCS wish list DCS OVERALL: 1. future compatibility with FC 2.0 and A10 module, so we can fly both Ka50 and A10 in FC2 and in DCS (I very hope this is possible). 2. full Windows7/Vista support. I'm getting this bug on my Win7x64 - taskbar covers DCS menu (only in singleplayer) and unable to hide it: http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/6372/dcswin7bug.jpg 3. fix sound engine: Direct Sound/OpenAL issue, engine Doppler effect and problems after switching to external views (3DSoundBack or Alchemy doesnt help in my case) 4. fix lagging (jumping) player controlled aircraft 5. improve multiplayer (we want more fight head to head (player vs player); shooting only AI is boring) and add possibility to sort servers by ping, or number of players 6. add HyperLobby support to increase number of players online 7. just one decent dedicated server for everyone, hosted by ED 8. enhance radio chatter so we can hear in a background all friendly messages (from tower, awacs, other flight), call support, etc. also improve interaction with wingman/flight: say status, fuel, weapons, etc. (possibility to hear leader commands in multiplayer would be great as well) - see Falcon4 AF 9. include VoIP, TS3, or something like in World in Conflict or Modern Warfare 2 (I mean abbility to comunicate with players on the same radio frequency) 10. increase airbone traffic (add some utility, recon, tanker, transport or civilian aircraft) and maybe some airdrop/paradrop? 11. improve missile behaviour and smoke, which is currently poor and seems like low framerate. imo even latest Open Falcon (esp. smoke from Mavericks) or Enemy Engaged have better smoke effect - check this out (07:18 sec): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxXnnPz0adE 12. chaff for Ka50 (dunno if this is realistic, but I can't imagine that poor russian bird trying to escape from AMRAAM in FC2) 13. align startup time for Ka50 and Flaming Cliffs flyble aircraft 14. Options Menu available from cockpit and "Restart mission" button in Pause Menu 15. increase damage and/or accuracy for unguided rockets and damage for AP gun (currently need whole ammo to kill airbone target with AP rounds) 16. improve briefing (maybe add some recon, target photos, satelite view etc.) 17. to press "save profile" or "load profile" button, need to click on the key cell. otherwise these functions are inactive: http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/9021/launcher200903091932556.jpg 18. buildings, bridges as a mission target (not only vehicles), so we can use bombs and blow some stuff 19. ` (tilde) key that opens AND CLOSES chat window 20. dynamic weather (and wiper from Enemy Engaged) 21. better clouds and terrain (implemented grass) 22. add new 1.01 weapons to rearm menu OPTIONALLY: 23. working AWACS (that doesn't spam), Tankers and (eventually) air refueling feature 24. choose payload/skin option before mission starts (this one from Lockon/FC would be cool) 25. ability to mark aircraft with own logo (feature from ArmA1/2): http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/5723/arma2009041523545474.jpg 26. ability to choose spawn method (maybe something a'la Falcon 4?) - Ramp: spawn at parking with all systems off, Taxi: spawn at taxi/parking with all systems on, or Takeoff: spawn on the runway ready to go 27. lower price of next DCS modules :) (Blacshark was really expensive in my country and most of ppl had to buy russian version for half price) FOR FUTURE AIRCRAFT: 28. F16 or AH64 as next aircraft (after A10) 29. Realistic, advanced radar with all AA/AG modes and submodes (this one from Falcon 4 AF was the best I've seen): http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/8020/mfd1aw7.jpg http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/548/f4rdr3c.gif http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/8149/mfde1.jpg http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/6664/stp.jpg 30. realistic HSD: http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/5622/mfd2aa2.jpg http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/3745/falcon4navigacja.png, HUD (from FSX F16 would be ok): http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/4585/f16hud.jpg and TGP display: http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/5310/mfp2.jpg 31. realistic skins: http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/9537/090401f7792w444.jpg http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/228/1507185.jpg 32. realistic bombing modes (CCIP, CCRP, etc.) 33. GBU munition for A10 34. dynamic campaign a'la Falcon 4 35. some desert (Iraq/Aphganistan) maps 36. I wish my post to be read by someone from ED team... Thanks in davance ;)

At the center of Abris or HUD? In Falcon4 (and real F16 as well) you can mark your target (or any place on the ground) so it's visible as a little square on the HUD.

ED please!:poster_spam: Gimme my FC 2. I can't wait anymore. :cry:

It's being discussed already here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=49429 btw. "duel" or "dual"? :P

seems like solved on Win7 Got the same problem and it does affect the game :/ Every time i spawn with no fuel and can't get engines to start. Refueling by ground crew doesn't work. Gonna reinstall directx as you guys suggested... Edit1. I've tried every version of DirectX, but it doesn't copy pthreadGC2.dll, and I'm still unable to refuel (crew says "refueling completed" while tank is still empty). Could somebody with Win7 upload that file and put the link please? I'll repay with positive rep :) There is a link for speedyshare: www.speedyshare.com Thanks in advance. Edit2. After reinstaling DirectX, there is still no such file in my Windows folder, but seems like the game doesn't need it anymore. Everything works fine now. :)

LoL i saw this clip on youtube already. Nice 1. :D

Thx for the tip. That may prove helpful to some 1.0 people (especially Bucic). Sorry I just do my best ;)

Nobody's perfect ;) That's a negative sir, you dont need to be Zalman fan nor use any "after-market cooling equipment" ;). Reference Intel cooler (box CPU version) is good enough to O/C your CPU to 4GHz. Im getting 100% stable O/S on my own with temperatures between 30*C/85*F (idle) and 65*C/150*F (stress). Proof? http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/3008/cputemp4kopia.jpg Ofcoz you need well cooled case to reach such results. I meant higher freq. CPU with 2 cores > lower freq. CPU with 4 and more cores. Thought I was clear on that issue? i5-750 would be the worst choice imho (at least choosing from i5 family). Poor frequency (2.66 GHz), high power usage (95 W, while the other i5 use only 73) and old 45 technology (vs 32 nm for the rest of i5 processors). Personally i'd go for some Core2Quad (preferably Q9650 (3GHz), eventually Core2Duo. U may take a look at this site: http://www.komputronik.pl/index.php/category/407/Core2_Duo_%28S775%29.html to get some info and see what is a bestseller in my country. 10/10 and 201 reviews says much, but E8500/E8600 may be even better. But you need an original Blackshark to patch it, what may cause problems for some ppl... :P You talking about yourself right?

Czy są tu jacys aktywni piloci? :P

Great teaser (a bit short tho) as all your Blackshark movies, and nice new FC logo. You're very capable, keep up the good job. Btw. may I please ask when to expect some A10 or FC trailer?

MultiThreading, hyperthreading, whatever, here u got an ansfer kingneptune117: Dual core, high freq CPU for Blackshark Quad+ core CPU for Rise of Flight and other Conclusion: The best (also thanks to it's price) CPU for DCS may be o'ced Intel Core2Duo E8400 - E8600 or even better, but much more expensive i5 670 - i7 975 But keep in mind, the A10 Warthog may come with new (or at least upgraded) engine, that may support all CPU cores and multithreading.

It does with patch 1.01. Dude, I was talking about multi core support only, not multi threading, please read more carefully. The gain is just due to this, not a better handling of resources by Win7 or Vista. And the fueling car with Jet fuel was totally non sence example. Sorry. No problem but i know nothing of your system specs. Here u have some tips i posted yesterday, maybe something of this will help u: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=822405#post822405 And 120 fps that i was taking about was only at start of a training mission, otherwise im getting decent 50 - 65 fps (1600/1200, 16:10, antialiasing x2, anizo x16, shadows: all planar, range medium and the rest set to max). But it doesnt change the fact im getting double framerate with patch 1.01 (or 1.0 with affinity manually set to both cores). Screenshots (was taken a few months ago when i had only 2GB of ram, old Vista O/S in critical condition and DCS in 1.0 version): http://img299.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dcs2009030916080306.jpg http://img299.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dcs2009030916083965.jpg http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/3056/dcs1.jpg And now new O/S (Win7x64) http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/2154/screenshot005tl.jpg http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/671/screenshot011.jpg http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/7105/screenshot015v.jpg Btw. thank you guys for decude my reputation. Was trying to be helpful and post some about affinity and overclocking. Now having -15. Thx a lot!

i think you might got hacked version :P Have you changed your O/S? Maybe your game uses multi core now...

I'd vote for F16 Block 52 (C or D), but can't really imagine that poor russian bird in confrontation with the most advanced single-engine fighter of the world... So maybe the better choice would be AH64 or AH1? Apache vs Kamov - that makes some sense. Unless some opponent for future A10. In this case Su25T would be the best and natural balance for Warthog.

Sobek, you're totaly wrong and mislead others. DCS since v 1.01 has full multi core support: you may expect even 2x fps boost using CPU with >= 2 cores. Using DCS 1.0 version (greetz for all pirates), you need to set affinity manualy with task manager or "DCSMax" tool. Personally im getting 120 fps from previous 65, which means almost 100% gain. I would recommend you some Intel multicore CPU such a Core2Duo, or some Core2Quad, but not slower than 3 GHz. Keep in mind the most important ain't number of cores, but CPU frequency (the more not every game supports multicore technology), and the Intel C2D E8xxx CPU series are the best for overclocking.

Maybe you need more RAM? Just kidding ;) Try disabling antialiasing and vertical sync, set water detail to medium, try Windows7 X64, overclock your CPU. thats all i can suggest. I think the bottleneck in your system is CPU which running too slow for DCS. Im getting much better framerate with my old good Core2Duo E8400 (3GHz default) O/C'd to 4GHz. each 1 GHz = at least 10-15 fps boost, so getting such speed you should be fine. O/C-ing is not so difficult thing, you just have to find correct voltage for your processor frequency, and set correct divider for RAM. For example my settings are 445 (FSB) x9 (multipler) = 4000 MHz, CPU voltage 1.46875 and divider set to 2,4 what result 1066 MHz for my memory (445 MHz x 2.4 = 1068 MHz). Just try, this is not so easy to damage/burn your CPU, and results may be suprising. If you send me your system specs (default FSB, max multipler, RAM frequency etc.) maybe I could help you with overclicking. good luck.

Hej wszystkim! Narezcie u swoich :P

good choice but keep in mind the game is not perfect :)
