159th_Falcon

Can you please remind me what LOD is again? Been away for to long. (render distance of objects and buildings i believe?) As for the video card, the 2080 is still around 200 euro's more expensive. Guess i could drop the windows 10 and keep using my windows 8 license? downside is that i can't run both systems at the same time then to copy over some stuff. (unless i unplug the old one from the good old internet?) BitMaster, i noticed you use an SSD as pagefile in your signature. Curious what the benefits of this are? Thank's for the help so far guys.

Hi everyone, Been looking to build a new system for a while now. Problem is i got a bit out of touch whit the latest tech, is the below setup sensible for playing DCS World at 4k and (near) constant 60 fps? Don't mind if i can't run absolute max settings. PS, also do some video editing/rendering on occasion nothing fancy.

Nice System, pretty similar to what i have in mind. What resolution are you running? Curious to see how much headroom the CPU has when running on 4k resolution. (if any)

Thanks for the help and advice guys. Gonna be a tough choice on what to get. As far as the clock, it's still spot on after letting the computer on overnight running Folding @ Home.

Interesting BitMaster, what's your reason to go for Threadripper now instead of (Ryzen 7) / i7 7700k?

Ok, there all around the 1 euro range here hence the question. Anyway took the old one out ( el cheapo) and measured 3.270 V Took a new one, a el cheapo i still had lying around and measured 3.372 V Starting to think I'm having a whole different issue, but can cause a CMOS clock to reset to random times other then a battery?

No idea where to find a reputable dealer concerning batteries. But I'd still have some lying around, on a cardboard as you set. Never hurts to try i guess, Ill post the results here when done. ***edit*** Any idea of a decent brand? One's i have here are indeed el cheapo ones. however i struggle to find batteries more expensive then 1 euro.

Changed the CMOS like 5 times. first time it helped for about 2 or 3 months. Last time it didn't help at all. Probably to do whit the fact i plugged in the power button lead wrongly and tried to boot the computer, shorting something on the mobo. Thanks for the help guys, is there any Intel/AMD CPU much better at this point for DCS then the other at a similar price point? And how about AMD Vega Graphics versus Nvidea 1070/80/80Ti in DCS ?

Hello all, Having a bit of a dilemma on weather i should repair my PC or upgrade it. The problem is that there is a hardware fault (out of warranty) in my motherboard causing the clock to display random times and change at will, even going back in time. The last few weeks the problem is getting more frequent and as such it's related issues immensely annoying. Now the question is, should i just buy a new mobo and keep the other hardware, or go for a new mobo+cpu upgrade? Running Windows 8 mobo: Asus Z87-A (socket 1150) CPU: I7-4770 GFX: GTX 970 RAM: 16 GB Kingston Hyper X multipe SSD's and a HDD Monitor 4K phillips 40" Now i have not played DCS in a while because of a lack of performance at 4k as well as this clock issue causing all kinds of weird stuff. But planning to get back into things. Ill also intend to run Folding @ Home for extended periods of time. So, get a new mobo, personally love ASUS. Or maybe better upgrade to either an Intel / AMD platform? (considering threadripper because of the folding, though ryzen should do quite nicely as well) And what is the latest news on graphics cards in DCS for running on 4k resolution? (Focussing on DCS 2.xx since 1.5 will be absolute soon, well, DCS soon anyway)

You mean the optimizations being implemented in other games right? Not the ones (in general) in DCS. Also, last time i checked the take of ED was not to support multiple cores, apart from the sound engine. Anything changed in the last 2 years orso?

Better don't forget to remove them when its on a stealth mission. Not that, that will be any time soon......

Now, what I am curious about is at what distance the Dutch LCF frigate picked up the F-35 on its radar.:music_whistling: One of these i mean;

Seems good enough to me, the contrail needs some time to form so the missile flies x distance ahead of it. Maybe that's the reason you don't see it as much in the picture? Also, over the years many variants of the aim-120 were developped, and i believe the newer versions produce less smoke while the rocket motor is burning.

ED Forums » English » Sim Topics » Input and Output » Virtual Reality Scroll, all the way down, it's hidden under the "input and output" part of the forum.

Since the livestream is hosted on Youtube, i'd say that's VERY likely.

Mind you, LTE can also occur due to a broken driveshaft or other failures like seized/broken control linkages. I assume that these conditions are/will be modelled?

No, its not a bug. Its a realistic behaviour of the airframe. And it's next to impossible to find any combination of throttle, pitch, trim settings that will let the plane fly straight and level. It's just a property of these kind of aircraft, not a flaw of the simulation. (you may want to study some aerodynamics of propeller driven planes, propwash in particular)

Lol, that's nothing. You should look up all the "you have played to much DCS xxx when" threads; http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=997012#post997012

The initial heading is (i believe) based on wind direction. At least when starting on a farp, so if that's the case you could try changing the wind direction.

@ EKG, (and others) Because there's already been hundreds of threads like this? And it has already been stated an even greater amount of times that this is not the point of the FC3 aircraft? The point of them is to cater for a different audience that enjoys the level of simulation they represent. As well as offering modules at a different price level then lets say the A-10C And if were going to the "but this is a wishlist forum" then each thread created should be closed after the initial post. Cause someone's wishes are just that, and more then likely not open to discussion.

Two things really, time and money. That's all there is to it, and don't forget, most of the airframes have already gotten significant updates compared to there FC2 or earlier incarnations. And last, who say's there not working on it? We don't know they are, but that doesn't mean there not. Think its rather unlikely though. Maybe when NTTR, DCS 2.0 the FA-18 and the carrier updates are done. (done as in, out of BETA)

Ping from them to your, or from you to them is the same thing really. Its just a measurement of time for a packet of data to be sent from A to B. And indeed the lower the better. Mind you though, pingwise in DCS i can play on servers whit pings up to about 250 and still have a smooth running game. Your issue might be a server side enforcement of (certain) graphics settings that your system cant handle. You might want to check your FPS online and offline and try to compare. (L CTRL + Pause/Break key will bring up a FPS counter in the top left corner of the screen)

No wonder i cant refuel in 2.0.............:doh: Glad i read this though, the hours spent :joystick:

Got the same problem in 2.0 open alpha. When i am in formation pre-contact he's flying about 320 knots, when i declare im in position to take fuel and the chute comes out he starts accelerating. Highest I've seen so far 355 knots. Even more annoying, after a while he says, "return pre contact" and rather literally hits the brakes. Nearly instantaneously slowing down to 310-320 knots. Another annoying thing that's happening is that once i finally make contact, the tanker starts looping "contact, return pre contact, contact, return pre contact" in an endless loop and I'm not taking any fuel, despite staying connected. See attached mission I'm using, mind you I'm using 2.0 Alpha. (EDIT, the fact im not getting any fuel is prolly because of the fuel transfer switch not being in the correct position:music_whistling:) A-10C CO-OP M-2000C.miz

probably, might be FC 1.12 though. Wonder if a 3 ship is still possible.
