I have been trying to find a roadmap for PC technology, Im currently saving for a new PC and am clouded by all the jargon and info. My thoughts are by the time I am ready (post september 2018) there will be a new chipset running PCIe3?? which will run a new Intel chip and more than likely a 1080Ti upgrade. Google is useless as there are so many articles on everything I start losing my mind at Coffee lake, Kaby Lake, Ice Lake.....then they mix up the dates with an article dated 2 weeks old says to look out for the i7 7800k release in October...2017. Of course you are welcome to be that source of information if you keep up with all this! Any other places you go to fish for all the info i need?

Got a lot of gear in there, well done! What are the 4 smaller monitors? There looks to be a lot of bolts with the thread facing upwards which might cause a few injuries? You could probably buy thread caps for them if there are any pain points in use?

I am advocate of paying for modules because the entry level is free and the development is never ending. If ED don't sell modules then ED doesn't exist. That said, it could be added to Combined Arms which seems to me as bit of a under developed product, that said, I bought it so long ago just to be a SAM operator I have never explored its capability.

Yes it is another cry, but so what, the more, the louder, the better!! Never flown Falcon 4 so I dont know what the levels of Dynamics are but all I can say is I do not feel part of anything in DCS (Single Player only, I dont want to play MP). It needs to have AI pilots who gain experience and who can help support newer pilots when you are building your squadron strength, the ability to switch to which ever aircraft mission you want (providing you have the module) and it needs an inventory of pilots, aircraft and ground forces.

Would be nice if someone could update that though, especially as we are now "stable". It was an easy bit of kit to use!

Are these things as uncomfortable as they look? I use a decent car seat and it still gets a bit uncomfortable after a few hours, couldn't imagine sitting on MDF even with a cushion.

Meh who cares if its impossible it looks awesome! Wait I see what you did there, DIY canopy on the pit list?

Did i miss the opening post?

2.5 is stable.

Maybe it's just test data as the Hornet isn't out? I think in time DCS-Bios will drive the LED and you should be able to do an export view by editing a .lua file providing you get your LCD recognised as a display by Windows?

I thought he meant 16 segment 7 element displays

Nice, how do you switch from one to the other? Change USB a to USB b...connect monitor a, b, c ........ reboot...etc I am asking as its a similar problem Im thinking, I will only have 1 PC but I probably use other games more than DCS?

I remember playing F-22ADF years ago and some of the missions were to bomb a building, they would show you a picture of the building and when you got nearby you had to lock it up. I dont see how, when GW1 & 2 was all about knocking out the Command and Control infrastructure, it can't be part of DCS. I havnt really followed CA, but you should need a command vehicle, if that get knocked out the groups under its command have skills removed. If the mission select it, a building in the city can be the command center controlling numerous command vehicles, knock that out and the skills get lower again. Heads up a key commander has been spotted in a building, take it out and it diminishes the opfor skills. All part of say a dynamic mission.

Hey JR, one of your MODE buttons on your engine panel display is upside down. Nice render btw!!!

If you read JRs 1:1 Hornet he is going for a LCD Arduino but has not got around to testing them so stay put to his thread. The other stand out F-18 UFC on here made his own displays from LCD, pretty amazing! Can't remember his name though. I'm in the same piace and have thought I might just make the UFC see through where the displays are and export the view to the monitor underneath, it won't look nearly as good but for me, it may be the only thing I can do with my limited skills!

Seventh for dynamic campaign and finalising Combined Arms and the Sea so I get me an AP-3C and hunt subs! You could also use the sub hunting system for a helicopter ASW asset.

Will the DCS Hormuz map include destructible buildings identified to add into a mission for destruction? Kind of how you can knock out a bridge and link it to a trigger?

He posts on here, not seen him around for a while.

Its the Canadian version you get, when the Nimitz it released it will be updated to US Navy version.

Hey please can you advise what 7 segment and displays you chose, I am having difficulty trying to find a 5 digit one that fits the UFC which I think is about 40mm x 13mm. All the fleabay items from china state is a .36inch dimension but I have no idea what dimension it relates to! Shapeways is a good idea, I would be interested in say perhaps the warning indicator panels. Also, sorry about the questions, what are you doing for your jettison buttons, the ones that are rotaries with a push button on top??

Awesome work, I hope mine will look half as good, I get a room in the new house in september just for the pit (and visitors) and I really like what your projector looks like, what type is that?

What temporary fix, did I miss it? The thread you linked is still screaming for a fix??

You got your armament set to auto? Also, your mode may me screwed up, make sure to watch a few youtube videos, i think that you can look at a target with the TGP but actually lase it from the aircraft, so you need to hit TDC on your MFD. And set your FLIR to PT not AR, OSB15 I think. PT it point tracking AR is area.

I thought it was a bug, inverted at 2000 ft and it still hit! I havnt tried it since 2.5 though so perhaps was a bug with 2.x Nevada?

The owner of simpit and Icarus is a member here and is quite helpful if you want projector assistance however, the OP said no projectors! Im thinking triple screen would be best for a simpit, that way if you have them fairly close, it should fill most of your peripheral vision.
