So I got a 2080ti today, OMG!
Mr. Big.Biggs replied to Bossco82's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I believe the 3070 while technically faster, will be hampered by lack or vram? To match the amount of vram available in the current 2080ti cards you are going to be right back in the same ballpark for cost. Don’t get sucked in by internet regurgitation! For many, they have already seen this. Folks have popped for low end 2070-80’s and are getting out performed in dcs by the 1080’s. I would think when the 30xx series drops their will be tons of very reasonable 2080 cards out there to pick up and people will get a much bigger “playability” bump than popping for the low end 30xx cards. That said, I got 2k sitting waiting for a 3080-90 card provided it comes with at least as much vram as my 2080ti. That is what DCS seems to like -
I like the idea. Sure its “in your face for a second” (kinda like a radio HUD) but since there are no keyboards in real aircraft, I don’t want one in my sim pit. The goal of DCS should be total elimination of the keyboard as it breaks immersion. Of course optional would be best...

My two cents about the turn this community is taking
Mr. Big.Biggs replied to Expert's topic in Chit-Chat
Placed on ignore.... -
How did that effect FPS? Thanks

In regards to this video...what are we looking at here?
Mr. Big.Biggs replied to Raven434th's topic in DCS 2.9
I can confirm that my index nor my monitor looks anything close. Maybe someday when I can afford a good system.. -
Did I miss something! My take was that sure, they would like an F-4 but it wasn’t anything currently on the front burner??
-
Fyi I’m running flat shadows and to be honest doesn’t run any better. Sometimes 45 ish but def stutter.
-
Of course you do....

Interesting that it takes an absurd post for the voice of reason to rise to the top. That is exactly the argument that has gone back and forth for 12 pages. There are folks asking for more shortcuts/ functionality and others accepting everything THEY use as a shortcut, yet berate others for their requests. Hypocrisy sucks and I called it out.

I would agree. That said ED, please remove all keyboard and mouse binds as these baby’s don’t fly by no keyboard jockeys. Also, please disable the feature that allows you to look out through a tv instead of a cockpit window. Finally, program it to only work with a real hotas setup (readily available from government sources) not the pretend toys like the Warthog. Oh and since I’m a real pilot please get rid of my job and pay my rent as I can’t park an F-14 in my den and my office is 20 miles away from the nearest runway. I only have 20 min to arrive, preplan, inspect,file a flight plan, fly to the caucuses and back. Gotta be realistic don’t ya know.... You guys don’t want realism, you want to keep it difficult so you can continue to convince yourself that your more than a gamer and somehow better than everyone else. Sad

They kinda poo-pooed the idea that there was any real underlying engine problem at all. Interviewee says frame rates even in VR butter smooth and never has heard a complaint, Cap seems to deny any knowledge of VR at all. Apparently neither has spent any time in the forum. I have honestly tried, follow all the optimization threads. Doing ok at 30-45 but really? Certainly not butter smooth or even close. Makes me a tad uncomfortable but does explain why they are eager to jump on the “next nee wiz bang” threads but never seem to follow up on the “whats with the memory leak, or stutter” threads. Again, love the sim but wanting more!!

I understand its not an arcade game. I really don’t think anyone is pushing very hard in that direction. The issue in my mind is that every suggestion is met by the “I’m a real pilot “ crowd but in reality they are already flying a pretend airplane in a simulated environment with plastic toy controls. Yes even me and my virpil crap. So why not one more compromise if that helps a particular crowed? There is room for everyone’s style. (True gamers really pay this no mind anyway so not a threat). The conflict is ego driven, not logic driven.

If you actually think that by flying a DCS plane, that you can jump in the real thing and fly away, your “missing something “. We will leave it that way!

Capto glove - any users? Any good?
Mr. Big.Biggs replied to markturner1960's topic in Virtual Reality
Koolertron. Cheap and easy to set up. I now have more buttons than functions. At least for what I fly. -
Capto glove - any users? Any good?
Mr. Big.Biggs replied to markturner1960's topic in Virtual Reality
This setup and a trackball mouse for my stick hand seems to do the trick for me. The Virpil throttle has a 5 way switch that creates 5 individual controllers. I use 1 for startup, 2 for taxi and takeoff and landing. 3 flight, navi, refueling, 4 air to air, 5 air to ground. Once you develop the muscle memory there is no real fumbling and minimal movement of arms. Just one way to skin a cat... -
Capto glove - any users? Any good?
Mr. Big.Biggs replied to markturner1960's topic in Virtual Reality
Gotta be honest, love the immersion of VR but I would rather “fumble “ for a hard switch By muscle memory or click a virtual switch on a realistic dash with a mouse than have a virtual floating hand or tracker on my Hand flipping imaginary points in space. This destroys immersion in my world anyway and replaces it with the horrific image in my mind of looking like a complete dork to my family watching. This of course is MY opinion and I am not calling anyone else a dork! -
As the previous deleted post mentioned, yes I have a big computer, yes I spend hours tweaking and yes it looks awesome and runs great ONCE. Then performance degrades until I have to reset. If I’m the only person saying this please tell me instead of deleting my posts and I will go away. But if by chance you have heard that before, at least acknowledge that you hear me. Thanks

32 hell, I have 64. It just eats it in bigger bites. 1 or 2 flights then reset. Rinse repeat. At least the 1 game plays well...

I play a round Online MP, runs 35-50 fps. Get shot down, grab a new plane, sttttuuutttteeerrrrrrr. Sign out and close dcs, cuss up a storm, log back in for 1 more round. Better than last patch where I flat gave up for a month, but needs some work to say the least. Don’t have time or patience to lay it all out and send a file. Keep after it! Thanks!!

Upgraded From Rift S to Valve Index: Part II
Mr. Big.Biggs replied to flameoutme's topic in Virtual Reality
I’ve been quite happy with the last patch on OB and my index with one caveat. Almost every mission after I land or more often than not get shot down, I have to restart the whole game and go back to the multi player server or I have massive stuttering. First run is always 40-50 fps and mostly smooth. Must be a memory deal of some kind dunno. Great headset tho! -
Made a nifty little UFC with my 23 key version. Incorporates all my “F keys” as I fly VR an usually fly the F-14. If I switch to the F-18, I go to the second layer and it has all the Buttons for the F-18 UFC programed. https://forums.eagle.ru/picture.php?albumid=1871&pictureid=12268 https://forums.eagle.ru/picture.php?albumid=1871&pictureid=12267

Missing F-14 changelog from today's hotfix
Mr. Big.Biggs replied to IronMike's topic in DCS: F-14A & B
Maybe in the interim you could learn to fly the indestructible f-14 and leave The f-Iphone on the tarmac? That way You never get shot down. Every plane is available to everyone fyi... “If you want to fire, swipe right.....” For the record I should add that Im zero for 21 54 shots inside of 30nm (In MP) and been smoked by the F-iphone every time. Ya know what? I’m still A man and not shunned so relax! __________________ FATAL : "Summary - Tomcat limited two Pretend missiles per aircraft for both Lead and Coal leagues.

Computer shuts off after joining multiplayer
Mr. Big.Biggs replied to coolneko's topic in Game Crash
OMG thats so weird. The very last time I was online, signed into a MP server and my whole computer shut down the very second I hit the load button. In my case the breaker in the room popped which means it’s totally unrelated but how freakishly weird! Never had a breaker pop anywhere in the house and absolutely nothing else was on in the room, not to mention its a 15 amp breaker on a 200 amp feed built in 2015. Strange
