Don't be that rude, think I'll try that 70 mph cutie ^^

You've played too much Black Shark when a voice in your head says "Missile 12 o'clock" when your girlfriend gets angry.

Yea indeed watched some movies of it looks awesome. And Piper Cub must be big fun, too when released =)

Thank you :)

You maybe know some nice scenerys ? I'm thinking about Ftx Australia together with the high res airports, but will be really expensive for me, I ain't got that much money at the moment... if someone knows a shop where you get Fsx Addons cheap plz tell me. I appreciate what the guys are doing but 39$ for one airport ? That's the money for the whole Sim... Their whole Australia costs 150$ and all their Australian airports are additional 300$, what's that ?

Ah I'm having problems with that mission. I was flying there, saw the convoy, destroyed SA13 and some Shilkas and tanks, then Intellegence say "Your new Primary is Target Point XY, I repeat...." And I was like... oh ok. Lets fly to Target point XY.... yes Target...Point...... Where the f*ck is that ? I tried using the PVI with Target Point mode but had no success. Can someone tell me how you usually know where a Target Point XY is ? Thought the blue range circle on ABRIS should be the convoy position and I saw no other marked spot on the map besides landing FARP.

Ouh... thought Apache could carry Sidewinder. Me so wrong... :'(

If you got a throttle and good joystick I think it's quite easy to get the target reticle in right position, turn auto-turn-to-target on, then you only need to get the right height. I think it's 100 times easier to play with the collective then, instead of using pitch.

Oh well but the new FARPs look amazing, also happened only in one mission yet, I hope I won't see that bug again.

All about tha money. Would be best to have a Joystick on which you can switch between standard FFB and force sensors to use with helicopter and new jets :)

Yes, sorry for that one. But I excused my language. I just don't like to talk around things, wasn't meant bad or disrespectful.

Yea it is. And I don't know much about overclocking them, my OC "career" started after selling Athlon 4000. I googled some minutes and I think you can get + 300/400Mhz maximum with that Cpu. Means 2.7Ghz. Tha will boost performance, but just a small amount and I don't think it's worth the time in this case.

Looks very nice, you can drop bombs and launch missiles but does it have real targeting system ? Or is it more about the flying, because it's hard to imagine they programmed a whole system like e.G. Shkval in DCS.

These services usually don't eat fps. Has to be a second game or picture editing programm or bad virus then :D Though I don't like many background services running, too. It doesn't slow down but you have that dirty feeling know what I mean ;-)

I'm thinking about buying FSX. At the moment I wonder which of the million addons are must haves. Like in DCS for example you get the LoReload terrain Mod which makes the whole terrain look better, or the Sharkpit also must have. I want to fly aircraft as realistic as it can be, that means no arcade flying, I've seen video of Ka50 in FSX doing crazy rolls and spins which looked like completely ignoring physical laws know what I mean. I heard the quality of the planes differs a lot between the hundreds of planes and choppers. What do you recommend ? And can I use my MSFFB2 to fly Ms X ? Or is it only fun with a Yoke ? greetz Migo

No, the 190 driver series yet sucks ^^ I use 185.85. And yes as far as I know only GTA: SA version works for DCS.

What's the processor type ? You said 2.4GHz. Singlecore ? Dual core ? Quadcore ? Intel or Amd ? Just write down your CPU name :)

Yea ok was just my idea that if your performance ain't good it's the graphics card. Because it's the weakest part of your PC really old http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/best-graphics-card,review-31661-7.html But yes DCS don't need great graphics card and 1024*768 should run fine. Other advice that I can give is that you should overclock your CPU to 3Ghz or more.

Also 8400gs is really bad graphics card, but should be enough if you dont use high resolutions though. I don't even know which graphics card Nvidia did rename to have this one. Could be 3 years old 6800gt or 7600gt. Edit: Oh my fault. As I googled I found out 8400gs is on the level of a Geforce 4 TI 4800 or FX 5700, which would be about 8 years ago ='D I would strictly recommend to grab a new one. Cheap and enough for DCS would be 8800gt (also called 9800gt) HD 4850 or HD3870. I remember a friend some time ago "Damn got a new nice PC, look at my new Ati X1300 graphics card" and he didn't realise it was worse then the one he had before ( Ati 9800pro) just because he thought new name means better card. Nearly all Nvidia cards ending with gs or gso are, excuse my language, shit.

Yea you also have to activate the mode like Ground Target again.

Yea, I hope get it soon, too. Little fun is always nice, no matter if better than ArmA II or not. Only thing really bothering me is that it's said that ai drivers drive against walls and get stuck on trees and things, hope they get this fixed. @ Feuerfalke I mostly agree but is not true. All reviews I read were sad about menues which take minutes to give exact orders and in that time so much happens that you can forget it. I really hope that the community raises this game as it did with ArmA 2. (Oh and yes would love to have Track IR support in Ofp 2 not only in vehicles as stated) For me discussion stops at this point. I am no fanboy of ArmA II or any other game, as long as it's fun I'm happy. Only thing that made me angry was that most of the press said ArmA II sucks and then most people said the same without even playing it.

Thx :)

Yes, but get the same without it. And like I said I have it also with other eplacements. Look at that Zu23, is completely black, and it was before I blew it up ;-) To add more info: This only occurres in some missions, not in all. Just tested some out, for example in mission Altitude, and first Deployment mission no problems with farps and other black things. But in Mission 10 of Deployment I have this bug. There must be something special. Only difference I can find between these missions is the weather. In deployment 10 there is more fog and low clouds. Tested all other deployment missions and this happens only in the 10th. When I replicate weather of 10th mission in editor all ok, too.

I have played a wonderful DCS session and only thing that made me gone mad was that FARPs and emplacements like ZU23 were black. Like if they had no texture. Just black. Got no HDR Mod or something. Tried changing shadow options but didn't work. Maybe you know a solution. Also the black disappears when coming closer or zooming in. I would say at about 10 meters the black goes away and the right texture is shown. But bigger distance then that and it's black again. On the screen you see the black landing spots and black under the little officer post on the right. On the 2nd screen when getting closer. Screen

Could also be a heading pointing to another direction, a slightly trimmed rudder or Auto turn to Target.
