You can do almost all assingments in DCS itself but for some features like mapping the speedbrake to the slider on the X-52's throttle you need Saitek's profile software. For DCS-A10C I use a combination of profiler and DCS assignment.

If only it were legible without using cheat-zoom ...

Well, that was very light rain ... Think heavy rain + Ka-50. It has wipers for windshield and Shkval, I don't think they put them on there for show. It also flies much slower, especially when scanning/engaging targets ... It could certainly make things interesting :D

The forest trees are rendered in blocks of geometry AFAIK.

For commercial reasons ... although we already have Flaming Cliffs X for that ...

New flare visualization too? The current one is about 8 years old ;)

You *could* turn off the UHF radio ...

The best way to support ED is to spread the word, anywhere you can. You can start in the Hawx forums ...

The A-10C doesn't have any radar ... It can detect someone else's radar though :D

It doesn't need radar because it's a dedicated CAS aircraft designed to operate in an environment where SEAD and CAP are handled by other aircraft. My 2 cents.

So you prefer the Ka-50 cockpit where quite a few buttons/switches not only don't actually do anything but cannot even be switched? ...

Maybe we should have a poll about that ;)

There's always the commercial consideration that announcing a future product could affect sales of the currently available products ...

DCS:Enterprise :D

Most intriguing.

F-14? ;)

Definitely the F-15E model. The F-16 and F/A-18C have old models. F/A-18C was probably the best model in Lockon/LOMAC though.

I haven't used the beta, but the F-15C/E models are really detailed in the current versions ...

Is there a dynamic campaign in flight sim heaven? ;)

What key did you use to activate the afterburners?

If you're really desperate, try the stuff below, only takes about 10-15 minutes. Not much too lose ... I know you installed "some" DX update already but try it anyway. - Restore the original configuration: disable on-board sound, enable Xonar sound card - Download and install this (should be the most recent DX update): http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8109 - Reboot computer

So is the Hog, what's your point? .... just kidding :D

Read the release notes to learn about the changes.

I'm not sure but I believe the "self-shadows" are only applied to the "actively" viewed object. Even then, only within a certain distance. I don't think this is a performance hog. Modern videocards should be able to handle large numbers of vertices as well. One of the things that I found which affects performance noticeably are dynamic lights (flood lights, formation lights, position lights and taxi&landing lights). You can disable lights on your aircraft but not the AI, so when they start taking-off or come in landing ... ;) The AI sometimes turn on formation lights in the middle of the day ...
