You are right. Things got better now. I have been today as guest on 2nd seat in Gazelle very dynamic virtual air show training that is being prepared for September this year, and no stutters or freezes whatsoever. I shall move DCS to system drive SSD maybe end next week and report back.

Dears, I have just downloaded release version of DCS World 2.5 installed and tested Quick Start Ka-50 runway start mission. While it was loading, I went to make and eat quickly supper, used restroom, go again to fridge and bring a beer... and it was still loading. Upon finally entering the pit. I have taken off to fly only the race track pattern around the runway. I have experienced stuttering, some were few seconds long (basically a freeze). After few minutes stutters reduced. Machine is ROG ASUS GL703 SCAR EDITION 17inch. It has 16GB of RAM. Please remember that was a Quick Start Ka-50 runway hot start mission. Nothing fancy.

Hi! I believe the best place to take your questions is GitHub, here: https://github.com/Gadroc/helios - HELIOS has gone open source in 2015, however it seams dead in development since 2016. You may also try open source IKARUS, here: https://github.com/s-d-a/Ikarus - it already has F-5E profile. Still my favourite is HELIOS, in the end it is WYSIWYG editor.

Will setup executable properly upgrade to next version (even beta RC ones)? Or should I uninstall and clean after previous installation first?

Działamy, każdy w swojej organizacji. Sam 10 latach po założeniu i prowadzeniu 51PVO, wyszedłem z założycielami i najlepszymi pilotami, założyłem grupę 100KIAP. http://forum.100kiap.org Jakoś nigdy specjalnie nie śledziłem 'polskiej sceny', dla mnie nie ma granic :)

If you chose most of map area to be ocean, the map size loaded into server/client memory can be actually significantly increased. There is less memory requirement for ground mesh, objects and textures. Also 64bit architecture in games allows to create extremely large maps with precise coordinates. This is what I have been wishing too. We basically would be asking for something like Midway with water each way. Another good place to be is Bering Sea or Barents Sea.

Both F-111 and Su-24 cabin feature side-by-side crew seating. We do not have a single combat jet in DCS World with such feature, and this is why I would find this as selling point in next module.

Caucasus could work for Tornado, at least small portion of it. AI gets pounded really bad no matter how well scripted still. Bad news is in the new map in Middle East it will be even worse. Again from choosing between the two... F-111 will be overall a more interesting aircraft to be played in DCS World, since this thread is What's Next, this is the core of my choice for next favorite. Mentioning also, how many jet aircrafts do we have with a tandem cockpit like that in DCS World (0). F-111 is also more mean and capable mid altitude bomber than the Tornado, ask any Aussie audience on these forums, how bad ass The Pig was. Tornado fighter variant, multilayer dedi server wise is not a good idea, as anything this thing would be average at is intercepting large high altitude bombers and some SEAD. Where F/A-18C will be so much better at everything. Whatever Heatblur is up to time will tell. Maybe it is not sweep wings military jet at all? P.S. And still going to pre-order Tornado, anyone who has played the 90ties sim is surely with me!

Well precisely. I have built this opinion during my studies in Airspace Management faculty in Defense Uni. I am not intentionally downplaying losses of this or any other pilot and airframe, just saying Tornado aircraft was utilized in a different way than its design. It did not work in the Desert due to lack of expected terrain masking. From that moment onwards it was operated out of harms way. It would work well in the 80-ties penetrating under umbrella of Easter Germany and Poland's search radars, here my superiors and lecturers mentioned Warsaw Pact was seriously afraid of Tornado as threat. Proper DCS World map therefore should be Central Europe theater for such aircraft and I hope to see it on day. If you feel like I am biased towards F-111, well that is just my opinion. I love Panavia Tornado since being small child and also waiting for its high quality sim since 90-ties more than for F-111. Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

I would discuss this. Tornado has always been kept out of harms way and never truly seen direct combat, basically never was used for what aircraft was designed for (what was the cause of its losses in Gulf War). Completely different story with F-111, that went all into the danger zone since Vietnam. P.S. I have no trouble having one or the other module, still both are awesome.

F-111 deserves to be immortalized as DCS World module, as it pioneered wing-sweep technology, low-level terrain following, afterburning turbofans and more. It is legendary aircraft that has accomplished more than Tornado, MiG-23, Su-24 and many others.

Happy New Year 2018! It will be a great and DCS busy year, full of surprises :)

Happy Birthday, Chizh! live long and prosper \\//

Great job, my favorite 3rd party app for DCS. Money well spend! Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

I would rather put on wishlist Lynx, it also applies to Naval ops.

Imported Group Gallery - 100 KIAP

Amazing wallpapers. Now at my work place's Co-Ordinator's PC at Aircraft Line Maintenance :)

Me too, I am in since Flanker 1.0, I have used the Ladder as well, flying on 56K modem from Eastern Europe :thumbup: After last 10 years in dedicated Flanker squad I am about to step off and quit flying Flanker for the Hornet and then the Tomcat. ED community has been huge part of my life. Thanks to everyone for everything, but especially to Eagle Dynamics for up-keeping my interest in their software and my sim hobby.

Nice one mate! Are you returning to DCS after Hornet is released? Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

Which Adobe Photoshop version is recommended? Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

Yes, these were always removed on these maps from 80-ties, in case these maps were obtained by the enemy. However information on most of these airbases exist today either active or rotting away and can be easily located with their runway and taxiways design. If you need it, contact me.

Hi, I hope this post may help in future some developer. I used to stash collection of Poland's late 80-ties military maps 1:50000 in hard prints, however they are available online in easily accessible database. General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces issued maps. COMPLETE SET FOR DOWNLOAD INCLUDING RAW DATA: http://www.3fun.pl/mapa/index.php?download=n-33-130-b I would recommend downloading everything before it is gone from Internet. examples:

I am looking forward for you guys to cash me out! Thanks, I will wait patiently :) Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

Although I like new mesh and new trees, something went completely off with how light and colors and contrast is rendered, creating very artificial image. I find new shot unrealistically looking and while 1.5 Caucasus is more realistically looking. This comment comes from myself flying small aircraft in real life at similar altitude in Eastern Europe.

Hi, I am still waiting patiently for another MiG in the line... it might be to early to ask... However will you guys include Poland's skin on MiG-19 release?
