  1. I have been thinking about grabbing one of these as well. Another option to consider PSP Disp. A bit more work though. I too have a 24 inch monitor which takes up almost all of the space on my desk. I'm thinking of using one of these for the Shkval only. Don't care for the ABRIS too much. Not trying to Hijack the thread but I'm not clear on one small detail. Does BS support multiple monitors with different resolutions ? If not then these tiny monitors are useless.
  2. I'm curious about this as well. The GAME mode will help push up the sales figures a bit more I think. At the same time it will be impossible to judge how many flight simmers buy as opposed to casual players. Hopefully the casual players end up on this forum and we convert them all. :thumbup:
  3. I had this same issue, not sure about updating drivers etc. I've seen quite a few people with this issue. I just reassigned the fire key in the DCS controls menu. I basically just set them up like this: SPACE + ALT to activate the cannon. ( I do this manually) C to release weapons. (Mapped to Fire button on X52) There may indeed be a driver fix to this, but my solution was borne out of frustration.:thumbup:
  4. I stand corrected. Looks like there's about 6 or so extra chapters included in the printed manual. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=39994
  5. I don't think so. I believe it was stated by ED that the manual will be the same as what is in the PDFs that are bundled with the game; No Updates for patches etc.:book:
  6. Firstly, I agree with most of what you are saying. My point is that If the largest video game market demands immediate gratification as you say, be it by console gaming or whatever. Then game developers aren't exactly hurting themselves by making more and more console games. We are fortunate to have a few companies that care enough about sims. My intent was not to criticize eastern/western nations or regions for putting out crappy games, but more to highlight that these nations are becoming more technical while our population shuns technical fields.
  7. Very interesting thread you guys have started.I know the discussion has gone slightly off topic, but I have been living in the US for a few years now and I think the fundamentals of the problem go deeper than just gaming preference. I think the decline of education in the US plays a large part in what we are seeing in gaming. Console games are being geared more towards an age group that is between 11-17 years old, i.e. school kids. The decline in the education in this country has been well documented, kids don't want to learn how to read or write, they don't want to do math or science they simply aren't being challenged in our schools or groomed by their parents. It should be no surprise then when many of these same kids are turned a way by something as "brain intensive" as PC Gaming, let alone a PC sim? They simply don't want to spend the time learning PC games past an FPS. Coincidentally, the workforces in places like India, China, Russia and Romania are very well educated and becoming ever more technical. These places have seen tremendous growth in programming jobs in the last decade or so. I'm really not trying to bash these kids, the consoles or the US. The consoles have pretty much been shoved down our collective throats. Build it and they will come and play.I own all three consoles and they all have their place and time. The PC remains king though. I guess its evolution, but I can't help but be concerned for both this country and PC gaming.
