What is this reversal bug? I have not had to reverse any axis in DCS series with my 940. What am i missing?

^^^ I had the same experience when I had a flight in the F22 a couple years ago. :) So jealous of you guys and your flights in military jets.

Is it SOP to turn oxygen on before take off, and then to keep it on? Long missions may need the oxygen, but if its on and not being used while flying low isn't it being wasted? I mean, if a mission takes you 30 minutes to a mountain range and then over the top of the 15k mountain, you could run out before you complete the mission on the other side and still have to get back over the mountain to get home.

I think it would be fun. Missions to sneak in and destroy AAA on your way to get to your holding point for lasing of the primary target. Have to get to the holding point in time as the A10s are inbound so no lollygaging about. Would not really need smoke rockets if you were lasing the target. A10 would be able to pick it up and drop a LGB directly on your target. Or, the A10 could pick up the target point and use its own laser to designate and drop.

Made from wood is nice. If you want to make it light up, you could carve a groove in the bottom edge to hide the wire. Then drill a hole through the knob. Then cut some acrylic to the shape of the knob and frost it by sanding. Place LED in center of knob and then sandwich with acrylic. Fill wire groove back in with FG. Will not be real, but will light up fine. And, should be able to mod what you have already created without too much trouble. That is how I would make it.

5970 seems to fit the bill just fine to me. If not, get 2. Should be more than enough power. Not sure a 4ghz i7 is enough for that much GPU though. Probably going to need chilled water or phase or something exotic to keep up with the GPUs.

I would rather have a HIND over a Havoc. HIND can take and give great deals of punishment.

Is your fan controllable? If not, Grab one with a rheostat so you can crank it. Or pick up a CPU cooler. They can be had for less than $30 for a decent one. What are you using to measure idle temp? I use coretemp and my 3.4ghz e4300 (stock 1.8ghz) idles at 38c-41c. On a large aftermarket HS of course. OC will cause problems if not stable and not kept cool. But, my OC has been rock solid since install over 3 and a half years ago. Let that 5% deal crank up until you are hitting 65c under load.That has always been my limit. 3ghz should be safe and will be a big improvement. Some of the enemy stats can be found in the encyclopedia in game. Or you can google them. Trial and error has been my method. :D :music_whistling::pilotfly:New toy just came in sorry, Gotta jet. (22"touch samsung goodness)

They can make LCDs in any size. Apple buys way over the minimum order quantity for the iPhone size. As do all the other types you mentioned. You may be able to get a prototype made, but it will not be at the minimum order price. If you want to make it yourself, I would look into setting a normal 20" 16x9 touch (roughly the same width as a full KB) into a desktop. Or find something that uses a similar size to what you want and ask the manufacturer for one. Then pick one of the softwares from google and be satisfied. Making it a KB would be sweet, but you said you do not have the ability. I would not be surprised if there is a software designer forum of some sort to find a person willing to make it on the cheap for you as well. There are programs out there it seems if you wanted to go premade. If you google and find custom LCD prototype manufacturers and get one, making the case would be easy. Make a mockup of the screen dimensions of wood. Then find some pink foam at home depot and shape it by hand with sand paper and other tools. When shape is correct, put some release agent in the mold and lay fiberglass in it. Remove mold and finish with dremel and hand tools. May not win a fashion show, but will work. I made models like that in college every quarter. Takes some time but not much money. I do wish you luck and I will be very jealous when you do get it working in whichever way you want.

Russia is fighting Georgia. Thats all I know. I would over clock your CPU. Nvidia driver program will allow you to force AA. DCS will not likely release a civilian sim ever. Just go up without weapons and its the same thing I guess. :)

If you are on a 64 bit system using the 64 bit program, then yes more ram should help texture load times.

god damit. Long post got sent to oblivion. So short version: I admit I do not know how stuff works inside a computer together. I have built 4 computers in my home so far so I do know the basics of what the parts do, just not how. If your KB uses all computer resources then it will obviously impact the PC performance. That is why I thought the KB could have its own hardware. Your KB will need a power cable, unless a couple USB can power it. It will also need a monitor cable, unless USB can carry that without too much lag. If you do know enough about the hardware required, why not press forward? Having a screen produced at your size should not be too difficult. Then a simple KB case made from Fiberglass. A flash representation of the GUI would be more than good enough to show to investors for a business loan and patent applications. If you get anywhere near your price point, I would definitely buy at least one.

Ummm, IL2

Sweet video enjoyed it very much. Maybe try to do what GA did. He has a music track but also in game sounds over top in some scenes. I hope they fix the AB of the jets. Those glowing rings can not be what they look like IRL.

There is a CPU in a KB I would think. Especially if its a LCD touch screen. Not a A4 or whatever an iPhone has, but still a CPU of some sort I assume. Also will have ram and a graphics chip. Just a weaker "computer" than an iPhone. No GPS or camera or speakers I guess but still more than just a screen. Touchscreens get hot. That is why the monitor case has vents in it. Takes a lot more power to light a 15" screen at 300cd/m^2 than the same brightness for an iPhone screen. A 15" monitor uses a screen that thousands of products use. Economy of scale says that will decrease the cost of the single unit. Your KB would use a screen that absolutely no other product uses. So, no economy of scale on your parts. Software is what makes a tech device. The hardware is just a small proponent of the final object. You are taking the price of a 15" monitor and deciding that since a KB is smaller it will be cheaper. The difference in price would be used for designing the case and software. Testing and marketing is all free I suppose. All of the investment needs to be amortized into the cost of the units. I would love to see an affordable KB like you want as well. But seeing as there are clicky keyboards from logitech that are over $150, I see no way of making a LCD touch for just double that price. Again, not attacking you silverZ, just having a debate.

The one with the eurofighter is especially funny as well. Same with the chunnel.

That is when I love the control option in the replay. So much time saved with that neat little feature.

Heh, but if England imported them for you, they would have english in the cockpit. ;)

Did not mean to imply a huge dead zone. But, if any touch of the joystick causes attitude change, a small dead zone would help. Then I agree, set a curve like you mention.

Helios is awesome software and I can not wait to buy. Its not a keyboard though. Its not a touchscreen keyboard. How much does an iPhone cost? Pretty sure they are still way over $300. Power requirements for an iPhone are much lower than a keyboard sized screen. Heat increases with power also so getting it into a iPhone slim container becomes more expensive. Helios will only do what they program it to do. It will not work in office. It will not work in firefox. They are working on one part of your big complex puzzle. Why dont you do some research and find out how much a screen in your dimensions will cost. Then start looking into software developers who could write code for it and how much that will cost. Someone will have drivers and GUI all done for you. None of that will need to be worried about I guess. I wasn't trying to insult you, but your price is low and naive, or the market would have been flooded with them by now and that Art Lebedyev stuff would not be the only concept.

Is that on AIR? Or some elaborate WC setup? other topic: CPU has shown to give much bigger FPS increases than GPU. Mainstream cards seem to do fine in DCS. You dont need top shelf stuff. All the card does is render the picture. And the picture in DCS is much easier than it is in Crysis.

It will slip in turns much more than a fixed wing, that is normal. Still not sure why the tanks were so hard to lock up. I have played missions with moving targets and lock them up much easier than in that mission. I have tipped over on the taxi way so many times with my 0 patience. Why do you have russian textures and english tool tips?

Put in a dead zone in the axis tune. OP, You are waiting for the ship to stabilize before you release the trim, right?

Not sure how that chopper can lift that pilot's balls. :shocking::worthy: That is some flying.

I enjoyed the video. Cant really compare to the reality of the AC series, but good none the less. I really like how you sing to yourself. :) Ending was quite funny.
