Same problem with the I16, great model, but barely anything to do with it.

This happens to me every single time I close DCS

Have you guys with super low frames and stutters tried a DCS cleanup repair? It fixed pausing and sound stuttering issues I was having.

It's good for testing your skills but usually becomes a stalemate so gets old fast.

The F5E can indeed carry the Aim-9P5 all aspect in game. Makes things too easy 1v1. The F5E on the highest AI setting is extremely difficult to win against with guns only (flying in another F5 or Mig21 for example). Not impossible, but usually he ends up crashing into the ground before I can get a gun kill on him. I swear they give him more thrust than a normal F5E, but looking at tacview it doesn't seem to be obviously overpowered, he (expert AI) just has insanely good reflexes and perfect form. I have managed to setup a shot on him before for just a second or two but its very difficult.

Yeah theres nothing quite like going from learning the basics to getting good at killing and surviving MP with hi fi modules.

oh :(. Didn't know it took up any extra bandwidth

Are you guys ever going to fix Tacview recordings for this server? Pretty please?

Those two are mostly likely very close in performance to eachother for DCS. Not sure if the applicable motherboards or RAM prices are appreciably different between the two but maybe a deciding factor?

Uh, that makes no sense because i've already confirmed that the end of the needle with the circle is the TAIL, and points AWAY from the desired heading. Also I've flown multiple ILS approaches and they worked as expected. Maybe you have it backwards?

It's about as likely as adding Spike's red spaceship from Cowboy Bebop

Why does Chucks guide show the opposite of what the manual and training missions show for which end of the RSBN needles are the front and rear?

Why does my after burner look even worse than this? Its purple for one thing.

I just got this plane and am totally confused which end of the needles are the front and which end is the back.

excellent perspectives gents!

Maybe you should report this as a bug

Yeah attacking an armed helo with guns from a fast jet is pretty difficult and not that great an idea usually. If you use a missile though and attack from a normal position (way higher and faster), you're basically invulnerable. They must have put some major engagement restrictions on the jets in those exercises for the choppers to come out on top so often (like maybe extending and disengaging was not an option until one or the other was "dead"). I think an A10 would be pretty vulnerable to engaging a chopper though since it can get pretty slow and makes itself vulnerable to the whirly birds guided missiles and guns for more than a couple seconds.

The Mirage is "finished" but there are several major bugs in the radar which still aren't fixed so it's even more limited against modern 4th gen fighters than it should be. It's still one of my favorites though. I think it's the only plane in the game that can actually hit Mach 2 while carrying its full A2A load.

I have had this one bizarre anomaly during a KA50 single player campaign mission where I start getting 10-15 fps for a few minutes, was about to quit the game but then it cleared up and hasn't happened again. I haven't really noticed an overall drop in performance with 2.5.6, maybe just lucky. I'm running in 1080 with 2x MSAA and 1.5x SSAO, trees and grass default, pretty much everything on, except that one thing SSLR? I think is off. 3600x and 2060s, i get overall between 35-70fps depending on situation. Occasionally on a fly by or something I'll see momentary drops to as low as 25, but in the cockpit it never gets slow enough to bother me.

Oh man I would have been glued to the TV if I had seen this as a kid

You think the F15 is easy to tip hahah, try the SU25t with full load out.

Non VR here, have no problem with the HUD size. I didn't really notice it being any smaller, although the default head position might be slightly further back? I adjust my zoom constantly throughout flight so it doesn't affect me.

Everyone says "you won't notice a difference", but for me going from a regular SSD to an NVMe for DCS was a HUGE difference in loading time.

This is probably why when I sometimes lose lock on someone with in 20nm it all of a sudden can't be reacquired... I think my scan is centered but it really isn't? Will have to try that unlock magic button

Look up Chuck's guide for the M2000, on mudspike.com. Pretty much a condensed manual with sections that tell you everything you need to know to do things like use mk82s or BVR combat.
