Man, I'm glad it's not just me as well. I'm brushing up on my Anton familiarity in anticipation of the upcoming campaign. So I jump into some instant action scenarios against AI, and holy crap. They get my wingman in about 10 or 15 seconds, then are unshakable on my tail shortly thereafter. The only ones I seem to have a chance against are the Thunderbolts, and that is really only if I happen to get a few hits in one of them at the beginning when in the head to head merge.

I'm also jumping back into the Anton in anticipation for this. Do you expect release soon?

Sounds barfalicious

For what it's worth, I just today got an email from Connection that said mine is backordered. I ordered mine in June. Not sure what that means re: the supply.

That is weird. Why wouldn't they just use two 6 pin connectors? Most higher-end PSUs I've used recently have two 6+2 connectors.

Smoothing is exactly the TrackIR setting you want to apply if you are having trouble looking steadily at instruments or switches when you are zoomed in.

I have that utility to do exactly that. I use much less graphical fidelity when I launch with VR. Using the utility, I don't have to change them in the settings in DCS. I just select whichever profile I want to use. The only thing is that it's not desktop icons. But just launch the utility and select a saved profile in a drowdown list, then launch.

Use Skatezilla's utility. I use it to launch DCS using two sets of graphical options for when I want to use monitor vs VR.

To be fair, even ED refers to DCS as a game.

Yes, that is great to hear!

Any upcoming single player content to convince me to make the purchase?

Where did that bird get his info?

Yes, this is a big deal if true, but rule number one of computing. Back up your stuff, for love of God, if those files have meaning for you. There is no excuse for not backing up your important data.

Oh, yes - how could I forget? The free one that comes with DCS. And if I remember, it comes with a few good training missions too. The P-51 is relatively tame compared with the Spits and Messerschmitts of the world.

Lucky!

Props, and ESPECIALLY tail-draggers, are an entirely different beast due to the torque. The Yak seems to be the resident DCS prop trainer, though I can't speak to the training included in that one as I don't own it. I do have most of the WW2 modules though and I've found the Spit to be very difficult to handle on the ground. That seems to be an accurate representation of the real thing though.

If you want to learn the actual procedures like a real pilot would, the Albatros has a training campaign that you can buy for it. It's called Kursant, in the store.

AMD really responds to faster ram. And I don't think it's much more expensive these days.

It is just a pending charge that lasts for a few days. Then goes away.

Is the IR signature in DCS affected by throttle setting?

All these things are an accurate representation of how the real aircraft air-starts.

Hello. When I start flying (in VR only), after flying for about 15 seconds, the game will freeze for a second, after which audio will quit working in the headset. When I alt-tab back to Windows on the monitor, I can click on the speaker icon in the task bar and see that audio is still being redirected to the headset, but there will be no sound still from DCS.

He's got one coming out in weeks for the Super Carrier, right? That hasn't been out long. I just assumed that the dev partners like him get earlier access to early builds for that purpose.

Is this where I select the different presets? What happens then - do I start DCS with a given preset, then change the settings as needed, then it will save just for that preset?

Are any campaigns confirmed for this new map? If so, I will buy it. I don't really care for the dynamic campaign engines - I'm more interested in campaigns like the Reflected DLC campaigns.
