hehe. sorry about that. I get quite excited sometimes :pilotfly::pilotfly:

they said most of the framerate issues are with Fraps, i see the same problem when I make vids. Both thier MD11 and J41 are awsome in the FPS department on my PC. Oh and on a side note everyone waiting to hear the products gone to Beta well,.,, its been in beta for a month already they just never said hehe. Its on their forum so I wont post but it looks like its well on its way to release. They also say the well send the program to their "wide beta" teams in the next five days to test the installation and documentation and a few days after they will be ready to give a firm date for release .They are far along their plans it seems.

2 new videos out for the 737NGX. http://www.youtube.com/user/PMDG737NG Looking good =).

yes when you install DCS-a10c select the 32bit version. Confusingly the 32bit means 64bit windows

i seem to remeber someone on the Blackshark forum worked out how to play as a wingman with the Ka-50. Maybe worth asking over there as the core sim is similar and it might still work. No idea what limitations there might be though:)

you wont regret getting TIR. Its one of the best upgrades you can make to a PC for flighsimming. I know that goes for any head tracking but I stick to TIR cause it works well :megalol:

finally managing to to top off my fuel tanks in the air. :megalol:

yes reflective strips from High Vis Jackets do work heh. I know because sometimes I forget to put my stuff away after work my my Hi Vis drives my TIR nuts =)

I got both the PMC and British Forces to go with ARMA2 and OA. For £5 each they are a great addition. I finnished the British one in about 3 hours though :). its a very short Campaign but I will use the units for my own missions. Still got PMC to go. Btw for the first time last night I managed to add a 3rd party script to a mission I was making that allows air support, ie Transport ect, so I can deploy and exctract on call :) I even added a breifing with a script and it works!!. Im still pretty new to editing in Arma2 so its a steep learning curve.

I love the WH stick, its solid heavy and has no deadzones what so ever. The throttle is not quite in the same legue though, it has alot of movement that it should not and some slop. I rate the Joystick a solid 10/10 and the throttle at 8/10 If only they had put a little more effort into getting them both perfect. PS after 1 month an LED backlight has died. No big issue maybe? or a sign that somethings not quite right =(

great stuff, I love missions that are a little bit random. I will be getting my teeth into this one soon.:megalol:

FS98 =) was so long ago and on a Cyrix proccessor :joystick::joystick::joystick:

soon you will be able to see the mission brief while in the air in singleplayer like you can in Multiplayer!. Its a nice touch especialy when you cant rememeber what that Jtac/Tanker/Awacs Frequency is :pilotfly::joystick::joystick::joystick:

If you make the Jtac an airbourn Jtac, (the Predetor drone is awsome for this) he will start calling out targets he can see, Unless its changed since Beta4 when I last tried it =)

:)looks good =)

Maybe not on topic unless you count runway overruns as a Flyby :) New Aquatic Cessna Bis jet

:joystick:just remeber where you wingman is before you start hard turns =). The boss would not be impressed if you ask for a finger four formation and then smack into your wingman :pilotfly:

confirming that a fresh install worked wonders for me.

looking foward to SSM2011 or what ever its gonna be called now hehe.

seems to be that its the only way to have the tanker going straight line or at a 60degree bank and nowhere in between :smilewink: Btw if you notice the tanker flying too near enemy areas while you are refueling just stop cancel the refuel and let the tanker turn back and reconnect. In FA4AF the tanker would follow a perfect gentle turn of 3 or 4 degrees and you could carry one taking fuel. Would be nice if the DCS tanker could somehow do this but I understand there are limitations.

I find it better to Disconnect before my tanks are full then back off the tanker before canceling the Refueling from the radio options, The tanker can then feel free to pull 4G 60degree turns if it wants hehe. Imagine if passenger jets turned as fast as the tanker in DCS. The poor passengers would be exchanging meals (ie food flying around the cabin)every time they passed a Waypoint :) On the plus side the sales of sickbags would go though to roof!!

i get that too if I try to play using TIR in the mornings (if the sun is out its always coming in my window untill around 2pm) Heh

add me to the labels list =( I found turning on the backlighting makes the labels come back, try it and see.

ok I found out something about the texturs and the lettering, if it becomes invisible again try turning on the Panel Lighting just a little. my writing came back when I did that =). I had this issue back in Beta but it stopped for a long time and its returned in 1.1.0.7

well im happy so far with the patch hehe. Ive not had time to test it properly (its only been out a few hours!!) but I did manage to refuel the full amount from 3000 to 10200lbs with just 1 Disconnet!! (first time ive been able to stay on the boom) Framerate is better, and the stutters are much reduced. I posted the refueling track just incase you wanted to see, PS its a bit slow at the start as I was watching the F16s take off so fast forward about 5 mins. The tanker takes damage at the final transfer so they did not fix that yet =)
