Afaik, the X-Box live bar records anything displayed on your screen. But to be honest, i never tried it with any overlays.

Windows 10 has a integrated X-Box live control bar wich is capable of recording in-game videos. I had always good results with it. Maybe you wanna give it a try. To activate it press Win + G and start recording by pressing the record button. Longer videos with X-Box live are propably to large for uploading, depending on your internet connection. But for a short video demonstrating your FPS etc., it should be ok. Another option would be FRAPS, but i haven't used it since i upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10. So i can't tell how it works out under Win 10. edit: I'm a bit confused about the new 30XX series. I'm not sure if i'm willing to spend 1500-1800 bucks for the 3090 and i'm wondering if there will be a 3080Ti, wich is what i'm waiting for. I haven't read anything about it, just that there will propably be a 3080 with 16-20GB VRAM. Will this be the 3080Ti, or will the 3080Ti be a separate model? Does anyone know that? Cheers

Well, just don't purchase a cheap china USB Hub. In terms of quality, these are exactly what you would expect from average china products. These can also cause issues up to damaging your mainboard. If you want something good, you'll propably have to spend 50-100 €uros for a 10x USB Hub, i guess. I have a TP Link 7x USB wich was at about 40-45 Euros back when i purchased it. I'm currently running WinWing throttle + startup panel, 3x Cougar MFDs, TPR pedals and Virpil T-50 base on it without any issues. But generally speaking, a PCI controller card with additional USB ports is better IMO, although it does not fit your needs. Cheers

as long as the log book does not log anything happening in MP and stops recording flight time as soon as (i think) you engage autopilot in SP... i think it's not neccessarry to add more stats to it. Although it would be nice to have a more detailed log book. just my 2 cents.

I think ED will finish the hornet prior to coming up with DCS: F/A-18C Hornet II.

I think the "Special" commands work for the Warthog to use both switch positions with on command. Isn't it?

Definately a good choice. Just sayin' there is a reason why MT is more expensive ;)

Monstertech isn't a big corp, but a small company as well. Monstertech isn't more expensive than Foxxmounts for no reason. Monstertech uses massive 40mm x 80mm Item 40 notch 8 profiles, while Foxxmounts uses only the much smaller (and cheaper) 30mm x 60mm Item 30 notch 8 profiles. Means, Monstertech mounts are more sturdy and way more stable than Foxxmounts. There is a good review, i think it was from Jabbers or Snake eater, were he compares both attached next to each other handfisting the stick. While Foxxmounts is wobbling around, Monstertech stays rock solid in position. You'll get what you'll pay for and quality has it's price. Who buys cheap, buys twice. Plain and simple.

Ich habe letzte Woch Dienstag eine Email an WinWing geschrieben, in der ich ihnen nochmal genau erklärt habe was das CE Zeichen ist und, dass es nicht China Export bedeuted. Ich habe ihnen auch einen Link vom Tüv in englisch mit geschickt. Außerdem ein Bild vom Etikett eines Netzteils. Hilfestellung beim suchen von Informationen darüber, welche Kriterien ihre Geräte erfüllen müssen habe ich auch angeboten. Ich denke mehr kann man nicht machen. Das Einzige, das eventuell noch helfen würde wäre, wenn zahlreiche Leute Winwing diesbezüglich anschreiben würden. Dann würde ihnen vielleicht klar werden, dass das ein größeres Problem werden könnte und kümmern sich hoffentlich drum. Meine Hoffnung hält sich allerdings in Grenzen da es, international betrachtet, recht wenig Leute zu interessieren scheint. Obwohl ein recht hoher Anteil der potentiellen Käufer betroffen ist. Schade, aber ich denke wir werden auf Winwing verzichten müssen.

Wenn Du Zeit hast, dann ist es vielleicht eine Überlegung wert auf den VKB Throttle zu warten. Wenn der denn mal endlich auf den Markt kommt. Von Winwing muss ich dringendst abraten. Der Throttle ist zwar mit Abstand das beste, was ich je hatte (ersetzt meinen TM Warthog Throttle). Musste aber nach dem auspacken feststellen, dass er kein CE Zeichen hat und somit die Einfuhr nach Europa illegal ist. Wenn er vom Zoll im Rahmen der Strichprobenkontrolle entdeckt wird, wird er einbehalten und vernichtet. Auf deine Kosten. Wurde in einem anderen Thread bereits ausgiebig erläutert. Und absolut perfekt ist er auch nicht, ich habe nach 3 Wochen intensiver Nutzung schon das ein oder andere Manko entdeckt, das mich stört. Wobei ich bei manchem nicht sicher bin, ob das generell der Fall ist oder nur bei meinem Exemplar. Gruß

Also ein Freund von mir hat sich kurz bevor der o.g. Flugsimulator released wurde noch ein Warthog HOTAS gekauft. Mit 2 Jahren Anschlussgarantie, für unter 390,-€. Ohne Anschlussgarantie hätte er (ich glaube) 370 gekostet. Mehr als 400€ ist absoluter Wucher für das, was das Gerät (vor allem die Base) bietet.

No problem, glad this helped you out and that you are looking into it. The CE certification is not only meant for product/user safety. It also guarantees, that the manufactor produces under european standards for envroinment protection. After ordering my WinWing throttle, i had a phonecall with my local customs office (should have done that before ordering). I wanted to ask how taxes are going to be handled. The official told me twice, that every electronic device without CE marking is illegal and will be confiscated. That's all i can say about it. Yes you can self certificate, but if it turns out that your product did not fulfill the CE requirements while having the marking, the manufactor can be charged for everything the device caused. I.e. when it starts burning and people die in the fire (Of course the worst possible case), the manufactor is responcible and will be charged for that. And if the manufactor isn't located in europe and therefore can'T be charged, it is likely that his products will be permanently banned from the europan market. All PC Peripherals i own (escept for the WW Throttle) do have a CE marking and they all need it, that is for sure. I have no idea how your throttles electronics are different to the TM Warthog Throttle or Virpil bases i own, but it is realy important that you are absolutely sure yours don't need one. In general, national customs confiscates each electronic device without marking, even if they don't need. Problem is, that the buyer has to proove this to the customs office wich is very difficult. There are a lot of rumours and fals information about the CE marking online, so make sure your source is reliable. Here is a very reliable source about the CE marking: https://www.tuvsud.com/en/services/product-certification/ce-marking Hope this helps. Wish you all the best for your project!

Hi Lars, willkommen im Forum und bei DCS! Also es gibt die MiG-15, MiG-19 und die MiG-21 mit klickbarem Cockpit. Modernere Muster scheitern leider, wie QuiGon schon sagt, an der m.M.n. übertriebenen russischen Geheimhaltung. Für deinen Throttle würde ich mal WD-40 probieren. Im englischen Teil des Forums habe ich schon öfter gelesen, dass der ein oder andere damit gute Ergebnisse erzielt hat. Viele Grüße und guten Flug!

If it will have a CE (Conformiteé Europeé) certifiation, i'm in. Without CE certification electronic devices (yes, also 5V USB devices) are illegal to import, sell and operate in europe and i'm out. Had this issue with WW and not going to risk my shipment beeing confiscated by national customs. People jumping on the hype train sometimes forget, that there are strict rules and regulations for production, selling and operating electronic devices... I know, speaking this out is unpopular, but these laws are a fact of life in developed countries.

A bit confused now, as you told me a few posts above you were specifically talking about official/DLC campaigns. As mentioned before, for official/DLC Hornet campaigns you got a 50:50 choice for hot or cold start. You just choosed the wrong to buy. That's kinda unfortunate, but true. When you play free campaigns (i.e. Saber Thrust) with hot start, while you prefer cold start... well, this is your own fault. Mission one is hot start -> delete ithe campaign and try the next one. For the canned missions, i only played "Dawn Raiders" and "Ode to Mongo" and it's long ago. I couldn't even tell if it's hot or cold. I think there are only 4 combat missions for the Hornet anyways? The rest are weapons qualification or whatever training missions. If you want more cold start missions/campaigns, again, the Mission/campaign editor is your friend. It's better to do it by yourself, than rely on others to do the job. I think there are quite a few people like me in DCS, who spend a lot of time in the editor (i got ~1000 hours) making their own stuff but don't ever upload it because of various reasons. I met a few crafting outstanding missions for private coop/SP and never uploaded a single mission, and i had people telling me my missions/campaigns should be uploaded as well, but... no thanks. I simply don't enjoy the pressure of updating my missions regulary after updates and same for a lot of other people i guess. I had this with my ArmA 3 missions in the Steam Workshop. Never again. And when there are people in addition, beeing pissed about if it's hot or cold start, F10 map settings, or whatever... guess why there is so "few" content that fits your personal preference? No offense though, i highly respect your preference for cold start and accurate simming. Honestly! But the way you put it sounds realy disrespectful towards the people who crafted those missions, and to those who prefer hot start. DCS is a simulator wich both, amateurs and hard-core flight simmers can enjoy on the same servers/missions and i think this is a key feature of DCS' success. Cheers

We have 1 domestic and 3 payed DLC campaings in total for the Hornet right now. Are there more payed campaigns? I don't think so. And 2 out of 3 DLC campaigns do cold start and overall 50% of all official campaigns are cold start. Wich campaigns are you referring to when you say you have noticed it in three campaigns, while only 2 DLC/official campaigns are hot start in fact?

Fair enough, i must have missed that part. Well, for DLC campaigns i'm all with you. These should be cold start. But i remember i.e. the BFM Aggressors campaing to be cold start...

I use all types of mission start, cold, hot, runway... manual and autostart. Highly depends on my mood and time, as well as on the mission i'm crafting. When doing 2 player coop missions, time is mostly very short on a sunday evening and we go for hotstart. I get that some people prefer (manual) cold start for realism/immersion, absolutely understandable and i like that too. I remember the option to choose from ramp, taxi and runway on every mission start in that other Falcon uhm... Viper sim. Something similar would propably be the best solution for DCS. But DCS has way higher priorities than that, so i don't think this is something we will see in the nearby future. The second best solution would be to use that powerful tool ED is delivering with DCS. It's called mission editor. How about crafting own missions, instead of telling other people how they should craft THEIR missions? If you don't like hot starts, don't download these missions or modify them on your own. Problem solved. No time for that? Hotstart in 10 missions instead of coldstart will save you 1 hour for the mission editor. Time is not an excuse. No effort? Then live with it.

Ah ok, das war mir so nicht bewusst. Ich dachte immer, dass auch die Air Force den Auftrag der Seezielbekämpfung hat. Zumindest in Küstennähe. Das mit den AGM-158 wusste ich, der Absatz bezog sich jedoch auf "unsere" F-16 in DCS. Das war etwas unglücklich ausgedrückt. Übrigens schade, dass wir die nicht bekommen. Die Epoche müsste ja eigentlich stimmen, ich glaube die sind 2004 oder 2005 in Dienst gestellt worden. Würde also für beide Vögel in DCS passen. Wahrscheinlich sind nicht genug Daten öffentlich verfügbar...

Ah, hab ich doch glatt übersehen. Die US Viper hat aber trotzdem einen Seezielradarmodus, weil Seezielbekämpfung m.W.n. für jedes richtige Mehrzweckkampflugzeug eine geforderte Fähigkeit ist. Also irgendwas muss da schon vorgesehen gewesen sein. Ich denke es ist eher so, dass die Air Force die AGM-84 nicht angeschafft und daher auch bei den Vipern die Verkabelung für die Harpoon nicht bezahlen wollte. Man könnte sagen, dass die US Viper in dieser Hinsicht eher kastriert wurde, als dass sie dafür nicht vorgesehen war. Interessant wäre z.B., ob die Demokratische Republik China (Taiwan) in deren Vipers die Verkabelung für AGM-84 hat? Alles in allem ist die Viper zwar benutzerfreundlicher, die Hornet bleibt aber der weitaus vielseitigere Vogel. Leistungsfähigeres Radar, höhere Reichweite etc. Die Standoff-Fähigkeiten sind bei der Viper auch eher dürftig. Selbst mit JSOW kann sie da niemals mit dem mithalten, was die Hornet mit der SLAM-ER bietet.

Ich dachte JSOW wirds für die Viper auch nicht geben, oder irre ich mich? Und da die AGM-84 ja eine ganze Familie ist (SLAM / SLAM-ER) ist da schon ein einigermaßen beachtliches Arsenal, das der Viper fehlt. Für richtige TASMO Einsätze ist die Viper nicht zu gebrauchen. Ok, die AGM-65... Aber bei deren Reichweite sind die Anti-Schiffskapazitäten der Viper IMO eher lächerlich. Einen Zerstörer, oder gar einen Trägerverband würde ich damit nicht angreifen wollen...

Ich glaube, dass das Logbuch die Flugstunden nicht mitzählt im SP, wenn der Autopilot aktiviert ist.

The Warthog grip is a mix of F-16 and A-10 grip. A-10 has no paddle switch on the grip, while the F-16 has a totally different angle than the warthog and is more tilted forward. Wich is the reason why Realsimulator offers an F16 angle adaptor for the Warthog grip when used with their FSSB R3 base. If you want a grip that has the correct shape of the F-16 grip, you have to go with Realsimulator.

Yep, me too. But afaik these were Generation 2 NVG's. Aren't modern (Generation 3) NVG's looking blue?

Das sind gute Nachrichten für alle die schlechte Nachrichten lieben. Danke für die Information. Dann kann man sich die Anfrage bei Reiser Systemtechnik für den Eurofighter Typhoon HOTAS sicherlich auch sparen... Gruß
