Hmm Mig-29A version looks a bit problematic to me. When introduced, Mig-29A will have the worst avionics in the sim(talking about A2A). I don't see people having fun trying to get to WVR range to be effective while dodging helluva AIM-120's :) Is Mig-29S data too classified yet? Probably same on R-77(Although I think it's no different than AMRAAM and F-16's). Mig-29S would be a much more balanced addition to the sim.

Can we get back on the topic please? I'd like to hear ideas/suggestions about AI rather than endless discussions about Microprose and F4(5 page is enough IMO).

Or Quake 3, much much more user friendly. Although you operate railguns?

I guess AI doesn't have that routine, so no luck. Although if I recall correctly, the ships fire multiple missiles at anti-ship missiles, that's the only instance.

What about a "ban" feature for multiplayer? Should be fairly easy to implement, probably could be done in patch.

I think this is what hinders the game for me; when you master the heli and have your fair share of having fun flying it(which is awesome), there's pretty much nothing else to do. The world outside Ka-50 is pretty premature and "sterile". Every mission plays out the same, everything works as expected(scripted). There are pretty much no tactical challanges to overcome imposed by AI, and not much diversity imposed by game mechanics(vehicle damage models, behaviour etc). ED said they are working on some basic convoy behaviours(like scattering under fire), but one also has to bear in mind this is the first module and ED will probably listen to feedback like this for future modules.

Maybe posted here, but this is a great Ka-50 flight demo from 3 perspectives at the same time. Look how he trims ;D http://www.patricksaviation.com/videos/Force_Feedback/485/

Turning off water and effects really helped, thanks! I completely missed that FAQ article. My cockpit fps bumped from 18 to 23-30 :)

I don't think they use cast iron in satellites either, it's just too heavy. But in Russia, everything can happen :D

ED has to solve the "2 seater" problem first. I wonder how they'll pull of the singleplayer aspect of the two seaters in AH-64 module. IRL gunner and pilot communicate simultaneously, I don't think it's gonna work with "order menu". By the way, I don't think this is(Mi-24) gonna happen in near future :) They're already working on F-16, F-15, A-10 and AH-64 and there'll be Russian aircraft as well. I'd say wait a good 5-6 years untill the modules are complete and maybe they'll consider the Mi depending on DCS' success.

Hello, I'm using a modest laptop with T7100 CPU(1.8Ghz), 2Gb of RAM and 8400M GS. I'm on Windows 7 too. Now as you can imagine I don't have the best FPS. I'm using the lowest possible in-game settings(though I retained my LCD's natural resolution of 1280x800) and using the affinity trick along with fullscreen settings. My question is, is there anything else that I can do to squeeze some more FPS? In Lock-On, I usually tweaked ini files and disabled unneeded things like Force Feedback and also used some shader mods. In BS especially special effects eat up my FPS. I'd be happy if you could share some of your performance experiments with me. I've searched for performance mods and tweaks but yet to find anything. People seem to be concentrating on affinity trick mostly. Kind regards, Erdem

Probably ATI drivers being problematic with Windows 7. I suggest using Windows 7 driver while trying to find a solution. Works flawlessly on my nvidia card.

Hello everyone, I'd like to print a big plane picture for decorating my dorm :) I'm looking for the pics of modern military birds, like F-15, Su-27, A-10, Ka-50 and such. So far my favourite is this A-10 from Wikipedia, looks very good and it's pretty high resolution. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4b/A-10A_Thunderbolt_II_Desert_Storm.jpg If anybody else has suggestions, I'm open for it. It costs pretty high for a Uni student like me, so I want to make it worth it :pilotfly: Kind Regards, Erdem

We need one of these in every BS airfield :D

Did Russians get a "defected" discount for the Migs? :D

Haha, he probably couldn't play the game :) He sounds like a casual gamer for me, not a simmer. It's the problem with review websites these days, most of them let totally irrevelant guys to review simulation stuff.

No idea about wake but I'm pretty sure new GFX engine won't be around for a good while. I heard they'll switch the engine after AH-64, when moving to fighters.

Hype it up! Ka-50 was something, but A-10C will get much much more attention from simmers :)

Having thousands of nukes = no need of more than a handful man in the Army. Nobody would dare poking a nuclear superpower even if their army is rusting.

I'd relax a little bit. It's not the saviour(maybe, not yet) once it hyped to be(namely Dslyecxi).

There will be weekly updates like that one from now on.

Gonna make a "Just ordered my F-22 TURBOFAN ENGINE!1111 Now satisfy my ego!" thread in the general forums shortly.

I think it's a CPU limit. You may get 50+ FPS with each card running two screens, but when you use 4 screens ran by two independend cards you're dividing the GPU work but doubling the CPU work because there's more to see and calculate. Dunno though, I hope you solve it without spending too much because it seems you already did :)

Is your TrackIR hooked directly into a motherboard USB slot or a USB hub? If it's an external powered USB hub, TrackIR might still get power when the computer is off and think it's in standby mode as there's no calls from computer.

I have just bought a Saitek Cyborg X and I'm loving it. It's as precise as my FFB2(also much better than X-52). Build quality is superb, and big throttle with two levers is a big bonus. Button placement is clever too. TBH best joystick I owned since FFB2. Logitech is to be avoided at all costs. I haven't heard much from "T-Flight" though.
