My dislikes so far, 2 hours of play. Setting up Warthog Joystick, Very very difficult, in the end i got yaw, pitch and throttle to work. forget about rudder input., not possibel. Nor can you assign any of the buttons on you'r Hotas to anything. Cockpit. Only straight ahead look, no looking to left or right or any other direction. No outside views or monitors like in the old games. It seems to me that in order to make it possible to play with a x-box controller ( prolly soon to be on xbox ) they had to throw out a lot of funtions, so they have dumbed down the entire game. Now, Microsoft Flight comes to mind, dumbed down to appeal more to the xbox generation, thought they could sell more that way, and look what happned to that enterprise. They simply forgot what segment of players that buy those games. Maps are confusing and without any zoom funtion. UI system confusing, and set up again to be used with xbox controller. I loved all the previous gamed in the X series, but so far i really am very dissapointed. The Graphics are however beautiful. Hopefully they can fix some of the problems with patches. UPDATE Went to Steams forum and saw a egosoft thread stating update plans: SO they do plan to add outside looks, and also to look around in the cockpit. with either POV hat or oculus Also zoom will be added to the maps. Improved Joystick support planned. UI improvements and a bunch of other stuff. PHEW getting hope back.

I only bought the Mi-8 because it was at a reduced price and i can support the developers in some small way. I never actually thought i would fly it, due to the russian cockpit. IRL some forign users must have some mi-8s with "translated" cockpits. One can only hope that Belsim make a option to fly it with a english cockpit, as it will boost their sale. This MOD will actually make me fly it when released. TY a lot, exellent. Mike

I upgraded from a gforce 6600 to a gforce gtx 670 and expected a huge frameraterate jump. Sadly it was exactly the same. So the DCS is at the moment probably more dependent on a good processor and ram. but in the future perhaps the egde engine wil use the power of modern graphics cards. Hoping.

If the resolution is to low to use in DCS, i'm no to worried. There will be lost of other games where it will be marvelous and immersive. After all, remember the upcoming model will be MK1. and sell like crazy. With a sucess like that i'm sure MK2 wont be far off. I remember Ipad is starting to use retina dispalys, where you can't see the pixels at book range, so im sure there will come far better models within a few years.

Actually I'm not really exited about the 3D freature. Hard to adjust to, and probably also a frameratekiller, have to calculate 2 different monitor outputs, instead of just dublicating the same twice. What really is getting me exited, is the ability to sit and look anywhere in the cockpit, without the annoying trackIR flaw that goes beserk when you reach a point where the camera cant see your hat too well. That give me some trouble looking up and down. Hopefully OR will work much better in that respect.

Well, I Loaded Dosbox, and tried a few of the oldies. Bad bad mistake. Because I remember them as beeing way better than what i saw in dosbox. I guess my imagination did a lot of the work back then. But seeing them now they look horrible. So comparing what we get now when we buy a game. to then. You really are getting value now.

Flight simulator ZX 81 lol And petty much any simulator since then. I remember seeing Battlestar Galactica at the cinema, and same evening drew a flightstick with all those nice buttons and formfitting shape. Thinking If only the hardware guys knew our desires, dreaming away. That was when joysticks was the atari type with bubbles that wore out fast. Threw the drawing away thinking, that will never happen. Now i look at my Warthog, and realise my dream came trough.

Arrived today tuesday 11th, 3 or so days from NZ and a week hold at local custom office. lol. Attached in seconds, worked perfect, increased heli control 10 fold. If you are serious about learning to fly the huey, this is a must upgrade IMHO. 10 cm, usually thats not long enough to make anyone happy, but in this case it is perfect :) Thanks for making this part available for other simmers. Mike

Was considering to throw somthing together to extend my stick, as im' playing a bit with the huey now. A quick internet search lead me to this product, beeing a bit lazy also It was a no brainer so i asked trough the website if it was available for sale. And almost instantly i got a reply. Now that is a customer service minded guy. Thumbs up. The quick reply, and posts read here made me order one the nxt day. Thank you. can hardly wait. But don't spoil you'r weekend in the workshop some days longer is surviveable :) Mikael, Denmark copenhagen

Got some severe damage in a ground attack flying low over a group of vehicles. Lost left wheel, not the strut. and countless other systems and stuff. limped home and landed, and the plane landed and taxied as nothing was wrong. Even braking was normal. so far from a realistic behavior thats if almost funny. SFM = stupid FM. Mrniel

Attitude Indicator on A10-A also reverse in pitch. mrniel

Dont think you will have any problems, I used to run a 2 screen setup, a 23 and 21 on a lowly gtx 560 ti with only 1 g ram. And that with every thing maxed out. Changed to a different setup now, but had no problems ramwise with the above. mrniel

Did a fast test. with my normal setup running 2 monitors and a ipad. 2560*1440 monitor Primary 1024*768 monitor secondary running A10 VC server for ipad Track IR 4 running All on max execpt Only MSAA on 4x as the greater res does not make jaggies so greater is not nessesary. Trees 6000 bushes 0 Gives me around 40-50 FPS On a i7 OC with gtx 670. If I disable a few things, the framerate goes to 60-70 FPS. However, i like to have a high framerate when flying, it make finecontrol possibel, low framerate makes you overcorrect all the time. mrniel

Thank you for your time and efford testing this, answers my question perfect. So it can be done, but is not worth the money as the framerate drop below playable ? Again ty all replyers. mrniel

well, seems like i'm the only one, with this problem. Think i'll just continue with 1 main monitor and a secondary for MFDs. too expensive to buy 2 extra monitors only to find out it dosent work. if not exaxtly the same. to bad. mrniel
