  1. The map is not that big, and you would get end-to-end in just a few minutes in a fast jet. If you want to fly over Europe in a modern plane, there are other sims that allow you to do that very well.
  2. My understanding is that the MW-50 also provides a cooling effect. Try it out in an instant mission - I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised at the performance increase.
  3. Are you using the MW-50? That is essential for exceeding the performance of the Spit. Also, are you keeping an eye on the ball to ensure that your turns are coordinated?
  4. Here's the text: "Dear all, As of this time, we do not expect to have a new update this week. As you know we are working on some significant issues, and they require more testing time. The plan is to have something ready by March 4th, but even this is not set in stone. As we get more news or info, we will share it. Thanks for your patience and support. The ED Team"

  6. I'd rather have the issues taken care of. Imagine the tone on these boards if the issues identified so far made it to the stable version.
  7. After having bought the helo's in the sale, I've been reading in the forums about new problems in the Huey campaigns. Are these generally expected to be addressed before the stable update? I am not in the OB, and wish to purchase these campaigns as soon as I get competent in the UH-1.
  8. I've had that in the campaign I'm currently playing - I thought it was just the campaign. I'll tell my wingmen to do something, and nothing will happen. Then I'd do the same again a couple seconds later, and they would respond.
  9. Your Acer P243w is 1920 x 1200 resolution, correct? If so, consider the huge increase in number of pixels that your 1070 will have to push, and the associated reduction in performance. Unless you run at a lower resolution on the new TV than the native 4k.
  10. If that statement's coming from Trump, we can likely conclude that the opposite is true.
  11. Is there even enough publicly-available information to create a high-fidelity F-22? Regardless, I like older aircraft more. I'm not here to learn how to use a computer within my computer. I like stick & rudder, steam gauges, and up close & personal gun fights.
  12. ok
  13. Think of it like you're bending the tip of the rudder towards that side of the plane with your foot. Like when you move your right foot forward, it's attached to a rope that's pulling the back of the vertical stabilizer towards the starboard wing. Which creates a yaw to the right. (Which may have been the origin of that anyway in early planes, but I am not positive).
  14. I think that resolution is Superwide. I have an ultrawide, which is 3440×1440. Works well in most games including DCS. The only thing I've experienced in DCS is many of the modules are too wide by default, so the edges are very distorted and the dash/gauges seem small and far away. I just modify the default view in each of them the first time I install them. Other than that little issue, it works beautifully. Support may vary in different titles.
  15. Maybe then for fairness' sake we can just replay, over and over again, a scenario where it accidentally wanders into Soviet airspace and runs into a patrol of I-16's.
  16. In the Jagdflieger Campaign, mission 2, my engine always quits just after takeoff. I notice that there is a drop tank in this mission - does that have something to do with it? I let my engine warm up first before takeoff. Not sure if I should post there, or if there's something I'm doing wrong with the plane itself. Edit - I had the prop governor switched to Off. Solved.
  17. That's not unexpected, since that's the same time Microsoft is ending support for the OS.
  18. I've found I have to take off sometimes before it will see them. Which is a huge pain considering how the dial works currently.
  19. Ok, fine. From the DCS home page:
  20. It's relevant because we are just playing a grown up version of children pointing toy guns at each other in their front yards. Just because we spent thousands of dollars on it doesn't mean that were not simply playing games in our living rooms. It's a simulator, yes. But it's also a video game. I'm not too insecure to admit that I play video games.
  21. Lol, DCS is a video game regardless of your input devices. Strapping something to your face makes you no less a gamer than someone who doesn't. The truth is that you are playing war while people are actually fighting and dying in Syria and other parts of the world, and our fathers and grandfathers gave their lives in these aircraft so that we could sit comfortably in our living rooms surrounded by luxury goods and play on our computers. Every sim community is like this - people insisting on the legitimacy of their experience and refusing to believe that they would stoop so low as to play a video game.
  22. In addition to the upcoming F-86 campaign that Reflected is working on? If so, I should pick up the A-8 now while it's on sale then. Is this confirmed?
