Cool user bar Emmer

Killing AI has never been so satisfying. After getting messed up big time by the Dora I finally got on his ass and wasted him. Heart pumping just like the IL2 days "Take that you SOB" Its been way too long :)

Hi guys Took advantage of the sale and got myself P51. Absolutely brilliant. The sound the dynamics are amazing. I need to get rudder pedals now. I played a lot of IL2 and this absolutely blows that away. Cant wait for DCS WWII. IL2 multiplayer was the best and DCS in that respect has left me sorely disappointed. Lack of servers and a mickey mouse mashup of skins n vehicles in most missions is a big disappointment. Heres hoping DCS can get the aircraft required to simulate the late war battles in europe. Would be awesome imo....

Thanks heaps for the info and advice much appreciated I wish you had mentioned those programs before... I could have tried out the 5770 with those programs. Might not have neeeded to upgrade lol I'm extremely pleased with the results. This card is amazingly quiet and gives me playability I have never experienced before in DCS. :) Only thing left is getting a SSD drive :)

Works for me too Thank You Devrim Out of curiosity where is this listed in the manual etc...?????

Hi guys I got a problem with my communications menu. It appears when I am on the ground. As soon as I get airbrone I cannot get it to appear again. Once I land pressing "\" brings up the menu as soon as I takeoff and press "\" nothing happens. Has my install gone wrong??? Is this a bug??? Confused?????? Many Thanks in advance

Ok for those interested I plunked in a GTX660 I ran a lil benchmark to see the improvement vs 5770 1980X1020 i5 3570k (3.4GHz) AMD 5770 Avg 31.898 Min 11 Max 62 @ (4.2GHz) Avg 32.658 Min 8 Max 61 i5 3570K (3.4GHz) nVidia GTX 660 Avg 57.128 Min 20 Max 64 GTX660 (High settings TAB) HDR normal cockpit shadows etc all on Avg 50.153 Min 19 Max 63 Should have got a 770 but maybe SLi anotther 660 later on :)

Just thought I would add. Just set up my system again for BS2 Which meant fresh windows install and new joystick drivers. Plugged X52 into front panel USB 3.0 ports (ports I have in front are 3.0 only) Tried installing drivers and boom system crash Was getting worried, fresh install and system crash. Hooked x52 to rear panel with the only usb 2 ports I have and Bingo back in action. Gotta get an extension cable now. USB 3 front panel has got a con until peripheral hardware catches up.

Hi guys Its been a very long time since I touched DCS but I'm back. I'm running a AMD 5770 at 1920 x 1080 and while framerates are ok I get the feeling the card is not up to the high res especially when there are rockets being used. I got two choices GTX660 at $250 AUD R9 270X at $275 I have used nvidia before and I only play DCS so should I go with the 660 because DCS runs better with nVidia or opt for the R9 which has more juice(if it works in DCS)????? Many Thanks in advance

I'm hearing you on the mpower. But I like the dragon plus the reviews seem favourable for the gaming board. I already have a noctua. Been spending some time cleaning it up. Pain in the neck getting the grime off those fins. Hopefully I can get it all setup by mid next week. It's been over a month now with no PC. Getting tired using a smartphone for the internet.

Thank you!!! I think I will go for the 3570k. I have been thinking about motherboards. I'm leaning towards the MSI gaming board and will probably get it unless someone has compelling reasons for me to choose the Asus gene 5. Thank you guys for your input.

I'm on nothing at the moment. It was a core2duo system. just wondering if its worth it for the i7 3770k. Right now I'm thinking no point going for haswell. Its down to a 3570k or 3770k With the 100 buck difference I don't know if its worth it for DCS. Does the extra cache come in handy for DCS?????? Am I better of just going for the 3570k n using the $100 for a WiFi module n msata ssd???

Looking at the haswell price I thought what if I tried a 3770k. 1. i7 3770k 8GB G Skill Sniper MSI Z77 G45 Gaming ---> $700 2. i7 3770k 8GB G Skill Sniper Asus Maximus Gene -----> $760 for around the same price as a haswell rig I can get a 3770k system. What do you think???? Should I still go for the haswell or pony up a lil bit and stick with Ivy?????

Ok having seen some reviews its a bit hazy whether I should go for a haswell setup. Using parts in my sig I need to build a new gaming/music production system. I don't plan on overclocking right away but i do intend to at some point. I have three options, just need some help deciding. 1. i5 3570k 8GB G Skill Sniper Asus Maximus Gene -----> $650 2. i5 3570k 8GB G Skill Sniper MSI Z77 G45 Gaming ---> $590 3. i5 4670k 8GB G Skill Sniper Asus Maximus Hero -----> $740 There is new case included in the prices for each option.

Hi guys need some opinions on this new build. Looking at 3570k 8GB G Skill Sniper Asus Maximus Gene Questions Should I wait for haswell and prepare myself for bugs and problems or go with the tried n true Ivy platform???? From reading forums 8GB seems adequate. Is this still true??? All other components will be made up from the old PC. I got a new psu already. No sli n no crossfire. PC only used for gaming and music production.. Your thoughts much appreciated. My thinking is to wait for Haswell to drop prices on the Ivy CPU n mobo. Thanks in advance

Word!!! getting sick of reading this plane and that plane especially when you can clearly tell the poster has no idea whatsover. (Hind, AH 64 just to name a few). Forum should ban teenagers!!!!!

Yes Yes Yes Please ED fill that void and many IL2 guys will leave and run here. I use to play IL2 religously but once BS came out that soon stopped and I couldnt go back. BS2 is here and I am loving it. I cant wait for the P51 and maybe somewhere down the line we get a late model german fighter and a couple of AI bombers (B17 n B24) ED I truly believe that there is a big financial gain to this and as previous posters have mentioned the void needs to be filled

Oh yes please the DORA :)

Its not looking good for any country that doesnt have a strong manufacturing sector or resource sector. Its gonna get a whole lot worse for those guys in the coming months. S&P downgraded France credit rating France has better eco creds than the UK Being in the EU is dragging them down and Germany is not going to let that happen to them....

My 19in LCD 1280 x 1024 is getting fixed and I got a problem with what to do and what to choose. Samsung is covering labour but I will have to cover parts. I havent got a price yet but will get one soon. How much should I shell out to fix it if I can get a new one 2 options Samsung 21.5in S22A300B 1920 x 1080 =====> $170 delivered Samsung 20in S20A300B 1600 x 900 =======> 155 delivered Secondly if I get a new monitor Which one do I choose??? I was leaning towards the 20in 1600 x 900 because of my AMD 5770 Not planning on buying a new vid card (6870 is $200) until I build a new rig and that wont be anytime soon. Can pick up a 2nd 5770 for $100 to crossfire to take on the extra res of the 1980 x 1200 (does the crossfire help out in DCS with that????) I am willing to part with the money for the Xfire novelty as well but only if it works and doesnt drop performance like I have read. I should get the 1920 x 1080 and turn down the settings but wanted to know if there were other positives or negatives. Many Thanks in advance

Dont know if its been mentioned before but when I have radio switch set to ground control I can still hear AI and my wingman ++ Really impressed by the improvement over BS1 Nice job ED well worth the money ~S~

:P Screw you ED all you've done is make my life constant PC misery. I had to upgrade to play BS1 Now I have to upgrade for BS2 and A10c You're lucky I like building PCs and dag nam it whenever DCS american fighter comes out i'll be ready with my uber rig Aussie $ stay strong for another year please

jpm1 you rock for the vids thanks man!!!!!!!! Godzilla the new King!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just love how its so composed on takeoff. Its unnatural lol

Huntsman are nothing to worry about. You get them from time to time. Have had one in my car whilst driving not much smaller than the example shown in your vids. They are ugly lookin buggers and even though I know they are harmless i stopped as quickly and safely as i could to get the bugger out. In houses they will usually hide in the corners of your ceiling. Givin you a quick wtf!!! when you turn the light on. Harmless!!! chase away with a broom they are not aggressive in anyway to humans unlike the funnel web which when provoked will let you know it wants to kick your ass. We have redback (black widow) and funnel web which are way more nasty. They are the two baddies that all schoolkids know to stay away from. The funnel web is the baddest and you have to be extremely stupid (stick your hand in holes hence the name funnel etc...) or just unlucky to get bit by one. Spiders in general i dont worry about but cockroaches my god i will run like a woman for the baygon then become Colonel Kilgore when I am armed. But it still sucks for me cause i hate the bug spray smell and try and use the least amount possible. (If it kills them it cant be good for you)... F*#%^& roaches

2013!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! World ends in 2012 lol Looks great hope i'm still alive to see it :P
