And what if 67. (or less) is what we were getting before?

i never do that - what's the latest guidance on deleting shaders?

Did you launch IL-2 Sturmovik by mistake?

36MBps, times 8... so I'm actually getting more than the 200Mbps speeds that I pay Verizon for. So that's great for me

My connection speed is being maxed out, ED version via DCS Updater. 36MBps download. Edit - East Coast, USA

Good point. I usually like to give them an 8 to 10 second grace period to see if there are any major bugs first.

It's starting tomorrow, but it's a phased rollout in alphabetical order based on the second letter of your forum username.

Yes, your radios can set to different sets of frequencies (the RIO has access to a greater range). Either use the Jester wheel or jump in the back and set it yourself. Edit - I haven't flown the campaign yet but the frequencies should be stated in the documentation. Jester can have different presets for the same channel than the pilot, but that's up to the mission designer)

It's possible, at least depending on the context. I recently finished the Earnest Will campaign without having to. I did for convenience to switch some items that you can also use the menu for, like waypoints, but I'm not versed enough in the radar to do a better job than Jester does. Not sure about how he'd do in a multiplayer environment. That's not my forte.

Is the distinction still appropriate for jets with missiles? Genuinely curious - I have often heard warbirds talked about in such terms, since energy fighters can theoretically use height and speed to their advantage, since it's possible to keep themselves out of gun range of an opponent who has less of either of those two. But when your opponent has guided medium range missiles - does that dogma apply? Another example is the inversion of the thought that altitude is safety, which applied to warbirds, but with the advent of radar-guided missiles makes you much easier to spot and lock.

I think they are solid objects for the time being and your plane will be destroyed if you contact a cloud. Clouds that you can fly through are planned for v3.0, due in Q4 2022.

Does anyone that uses this with the F-14 have flaps vibration when deploying flaps for landing/takeoff, but avoid having the constant flaps vibration when the trailing edge flaps automatically go in/out during low speed maneuvers? I had to disable flaps because it was just too much in those situations. But I'd like them when I manually deploy flaps. (I have folding wings effect off for the same reason so it's not that) Edit - also I have landing gear enabled, but don't feel anything deploying or retracting the gear in the F-14b.

It is very handy. I use that most often now, instead of the normal DCS executable. You can create multiple profiles with their own graphics options, and just select which one to launch in a drop down list.

SkateZilla's DCS Updater GUI Utility does the trick when it comes to separate settings launching DCS without having to restart. You can make a keyboard shortcut for that, but not two for each profile I think.

I don't think that DCS is pushing to both. DCS is outputting normal sound, then is outputting events to the simshaker software, which is pushing to the second sound card.

This is the difference between props and jets. I'm not sure how well prop wash is modeled in any of the sims, but at low speeds (and especially if you start falling backwards at the top of a hammerhead) the rudder can act in the opposite direction than you expect. Especially with jets where you don't have the prop pushing air to your control surfaces. This is an interesting thing to test though next time I'm in DCS. Not sure I've ever attempted a hammerhead in the F-14 - I think if I ever found myself in the situation where I needed to do that in the Tomcat, then I've made some big mistakes leading up to that point.

So I finished the campaign. I have to say that I liked this one very much all the way through. It certainly deserves paid campaign status - I didn't mind the lack of voiceovers and the little *ch* radio sound when there was text to read was helpful in case I was looking down. I thought the writing was very good. For the last couple of missions: Looking forward to more content! For anyone on the fence about this campaign, and you have the requisite modules, I very highly recommend it. I was thinking about the ending for days afterwards.

Thanks very much for the campaign. Campaigns like this are exactly why I spend time in DCS vs other sims. Can I make two suggestions for the next campaign? Can you make the briefings available outside of DCS? I like to read them and prepare before jumping into VR. I do like cold starts over hot/air starts.

I keep reading "dedicated" sound card in threads and requirements. I currently either use VR or a USB sound bar when not in VR. I just bought a mini subwoofer amplifier and a cheap bass transducer device. Can't I just output from the motherboard audio outputs (3.5mm) to the amp, since those are currently unused? Is there anything else I need?

This ED stands for Eagle Dynamics. It's a software company.

From someone who has only ever used the TM - why is it so much better than the Warthog?

Agreed, re: locking wheels. An essential part of my setup. Let us know how you feel about the dampers (I know you will, lol) Though maybe they're sold out for the v2 pedals now anyway?

Weird - I thought a professional printing service would be able to overcome the issues, but maybe you get what you pay for. I haven't tried it myself, but if you have a copy of Acrobat Pro or equivalent, then I would save the PDF as image files (jpegs) then wrap the files back up into a new PDF. That will flatten all of the images and fonts at least.

Next week.
