  1. My mouse does this at times as well. It may be time for a newer mouse for me though. Its over 5 years old and just a cheapy 3 button kensington.
  2. Be glad it beat the x32 though. Not sure what boeing was thinking. I disagree completely about the cockpit though. F35 pit is amazing 21st century design. And, just think how easy a sim pit would be. :D
  3. Its only $500, you cant expect it to be perfect upon release.
  4. Believe they are still around $2/gb at least. Not too much more than a raptor raid though I bet.
  5. What is CCLD? Most SSD are faster than just about all RAID configs using conventional HDDs and the same budget.
  6. Nice. Only thing that jumped out in my eyes is the forced focus changes. Focus may change if you are zooming in and out with a real auto focus camera, but not when the focal length is not changing. Maybe when you zoom out, then do a focus change acquisition. Then when zooming back in, do the same.
  7. Dragon's Rookie Terrorists mission is a nice setup. Canyon flying with tight quarters.
  8. Sounds great and there will be no ability for enemy to listen in on the TS server, I hope.
  9. Check stick. Use the rctrl+enter to see if its spiking. I thought I sucked till I realized my stick sucked.
  10. Hmm, never heard of the global Hawk. Its Damn expensive though, wow. Dont consider the Firebee in the same field though since they are just target drones.
  11. Wow, and I thought our military contractors charged the military insane prices.
  12. Thats nice. You could actually have check boxes and use a whiteboard marker on it. Should be able to clean it off easily. Though I guess you dont really need to refer to the checklist after completing it.
  13. Predator is a wuss, reaper kicks butt. Can't wait for the avenger to enter service. Can't believe how long it has taken to get a jet powered UAV into service. Predator first flight was in the 90's.
  14. Well the good news is that if DCS makes a F105 sim, we will be flying the F35. I mean just look at the empirical data. All the critical flight parameters are identical. :doh:
  15. So, those aden are optional mission loadout, not always there, correct?
  16. Most of the dell "same" system parts are not equal. No idea what the PSU is made of. The mobo may have the same x58 chipset, but they are usually gutted for dell to get rid of stuff they do not need. Removing extra PCI slots and such. I have no idea how you spec'd out a newegg PC for $4k and matched that with a $2800 dell. You will have to show me some proof on that one. I agree that getting normal computers is almost not worth the hassle, but top end gaming setups always seem to be cheaper at newegg than a boutique for me.
  17. Fire was said to be after effects of some sort. I did not know the harrier had dual cannons stuck to the belly. Learn something new every day.
  18. Most of the 780g support the am3 chips. Need to know what board you have exactly to be able to search and see if your bios supports the am3 chips. It should. You will definitely need a bigger PSU for a newer top end graphic board. Resolution determines your GPU need. If you are gaming at 1024x768 you will be fine with something like a 4890. If you are gaming at 1920x1200 you will obviously need much more. Also depends on what settings you use. I would check your mobo manufacturers recommendations on what CPU upgrades you can go with. I would not want to switch to DDR3 when I had 8gb of DDR2. If the mobo supports a 970, get it. Biggest problem with the 970 is its a 140w and most mid end boards will not support that big of a CPU. Most will cap at 120w.
  19. Pretty sure Phenoms had an integrated ram controller as well. Just DDR2. AM3 chips have both.
  20. I would imagine anything with the FM is going to be extremely intricate and nearly impossible for anyone besides a Flight Sim programmer to figure out and re-write. Though, having seen A-Team this weekend, I have to say that the Huey Med chopper in the opening scene is a much more agile bird than the BS. :)
  21. Not sure I see much of a reason for HMS in the A10. If you are close enough to be able to see your target and accurately put the HMS on it, you need to be on the trigger, not trying to get a lock. If you are at angels 15 then the HMS is not very accurate and you can use the HUD slew to lock the TGP to the target area. The gun does not move so slaving the HMS and the gun does not work. Mav needs a new seeker head that is for sure. Or give me a laser guided Mav so I can designate with the TGP and launch a Mav without needing to get another 5km closer before getting lucky enough for the seeker to lock the target I wanted.
  22. You should be taking actual or mental notes in the mission planning window of where enemy is located. If not, you will get shot down a lot.
  23. I always chalk it up to the fact that my wingman is just superman. They call contact or spikes when I have no idea how they see the enemy. Its like they know exactly where to look. I think its just the fact that all AI are superman. I have been blasted by many a HIND without ever seeing them. Even when I use F10 to find their location, I can not see them, yet they are engaging me just fine.
  24. Not sure if I ever tried this mission. Going to have to fire BS back up and give this a shot. Can't be that difficult...
  25. Click the modifiers button on the controls window. add a new one and it should work when you press it in the new command window for the function you are trying to map.
