Batch file? Not sure why you are looking for that, or trying to get it from their google drive. You might just need to run a repair of DCS, not sure why it's not showing up in module manager if you bought it and are logged in. Sometimes it can take like 5 minutes after you buy it to show up though.

In my opinion the pilot body does not make sense in sim terms either. IRL you are not blocked from seeing what you're doing by your own body, and in effect you don't really "see" your body most of the time. Your brain pretty much filters it out so you can make sense of reality. If you were constantly noticing your body all day whenever you wanted to reach out and touch something it would be very distracting. To me, seeing the guy in the cockpit is less realistic than an empty cockpit where I can see everything around me easily.

zombie thread. Was there a time when the M2000 could take other missiles besides the 530D and Magic IR?

thats just not very big a hard drive these days.

Probably not soon, since they literally just told us they are focusing on bug fixing right now and not new features.

I'm not really sure why the R73 would be needed. The R60M is already all aspect and a pretty good missile.

im still on 1903, it has never forced me to update even though i have autoupdate turned on so ive been afraid to do it.

Do you get a sound glitch or scratchy sound when the pauses happen? I was having an issue like that for the longest time, deleting fxo and metashaders would sometimes fix it, sometimes not. What finally seems to have fixed it permanently was doing a simple cleanup/repair. I also did pretty much every other suggestion I could find but the repair cleanup was the thing that seemed to finally fix it permanently. I also only have 16gb of RAM. DSC is on the same NVMe with my OS, but the stuttering thing happened with the steam version, standalone, and beta, on either the SSD I had it on orginally, or the NVMe

Hmm never ever noticed any slowdown with the M2000 radar. I always thought this was related purely to ground clutter display on the Mig21 radar (or maybe other radars too). The M2000 doesnt show ground clutter though. Also the F5 does display ground clutter but has no fps issue. I initially thought the Mig21 radar was fixed in the latest patch but its still doing the slow down, just maybe to a slightly lower extent. Still really bad though. I guess I'll have to try rolling back drivers

Use Chucks Guide, its better than the manual it comes with for learning how to do stuff. Manual is good for reference though.

I found it pretty easy to deal with using my twcs paddles for rudders. Adding in 6 degrees of right rudder trim helps a lot. Also dont forget to keep BACK PRESSURE on the stick to plant your tailwheel. If you do those two things and gently throttle up (you dont even need full throttle) its pretty well behaved.

Well the bottleneck is definitely the GPU on this system. That said, "video unavailable". I assume the RAM is 3200+ Mhz and all matching?

I was playing with my old copy a bit the other day and it made me decide to fly over to Crimea in DCS and I couldn't believe there weren't even any roads, complete lack of detail.

TURN OFF WAKE TURBULENCE. It absolutely destroys FPS when there are large number of planes flying together.

It's fantastic as a rate fighter even with the current G limitations with the pilot, and it's no slouch when it comes to lower speed turns as well. Fantastic T/W ratio also. That said it won't magically save you if you just suck at BFM and/or speed management. Also yeah it's gonna be a lot slower and less nimble carrying a full load than just a couple of missiles or clean. The F14 will likely beat it in a low speed turning fight, so don't get into one with it.

Id find it absolutely fascinating and it is a plane which to my knowledge has never been modeled/flyable in any detail in any combat sim.

oh didnt know you could do that. That might actually help get a hit on predesignated vehicles... usually they dont hit close enough in preplanned mode

The F5 is not an easy aircraft to win with against most of what we have in the game it's own age or newer but it is really rewarding and fun in general. And yeah the AI sucks. It's either completely stupid and not a challenge or a super robot defying the laws of physics and pilot endurance

Obviously F86 vs Mig-15 is the most obvious matchup, but I think F86 with missiles vs a Mig19 with its (terrible) missiles is a pretty decent matchup also.

yeah I'm rather annoyed that they have changed FM qualities at least twice in just a couple of months on such an old module, and currently it's drastically different than it was just a few weeks ago, and apparently is just broken until the next patch., This on top of the FPS killing radar.

Same here. Can anyone find any info where the developers respond? The official bug tracker doesn't seem to have any updates from them since last year.

Same here. Been reported multiple times in multiple places and I can't find any evidence the devs are working on it or even are aware.

Yeah! I tried it last night on my machine that never dips below 25fps on the most massive multiplayer servers with really high detail and my fps went to like 7! when flying through the formation. Definitely hoping that wake turbulence off fixes it. It looked really cool, such a shame if it's not actually flyable with 36 bombers in the air.

If you get FC3 you end up with a plethora of campaigns and single missions for the multiple planes it comes with. It's a really good deal when on sale for 50% off.
