My guess would be dust buildup on your GPU card. Dust has severe negative effect on cooling. Temperature problems are never caused by regular SW.

Happy bday! :)

This is the directive implementation http://www.eup-network.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Computers-Draft-Regulation-subject-to-ISC.PDF The only thing I see is the regulation of sleep/idle/off power required by the device, based on component categories, which I see as a good thing. And the enforcement of minimal power supply efficiency, again a good thing in my eyes.

The DCS A-10C Serial key you get with the steam version works on the ED site too and can be used for the A-10C World module.

You mention Crysis, that game was playable on highest settings only for the selected few when it came out. Arma 2 (and Arma, and Operation Flashpoint) has been through all the performance bashing DCS World is experiencing. But it's 3 years old now, and the HW has caught up, but it's still taxing as hell on highest settings. Other regular games, especially FPSs (like BF3), are thrill rides, that are tailored to perform well on what is currently available. They have to, they are multiplatform and have to perform well on fixed specifications - consoles. These will always run better then sims, they always had. The developer has full control about what the player will experience, so he can tweak everything when performance hogs are experienced (lower the effects in scene, place a huge building in the player view, using skyboxes etc). Because you are either playing a campaign that is 100% on rails, or dev made MP maps. Sims have allways struggled with performance issues, not because of poor optimalization, but because of the complexity. We, players, want high-fidelity simulation down to the button, we always want more terrain fidelity, higher visibility, more polygons, models right to the last bolt, more variety in terrain, huge cities, variate cities, more trees, bushes, good smoke effects, believable water, hdr, AI, ATC...and when we get all of that, what do we do? We use 3xFullHD monitors to display it and snap a helios overlay to it....and expect it to run on a average PC... Personaly, I'm amazed what DCS World is able to display/simulate. It looks freaking gorgeous and simulates tons of things to an absurd level of detail. If it weren't optimized, you wouldn't be able to play it, at all. Could it be better optimized? Yes, every SW could. Would dropping a working, stable, engine in favour of a new shiny one help? I dunno, who will guarantee that the new engine will be stable and better optimized? Might look more shiny, but would it actually perform better?

This is awesome. A powerfull scripting engine is the THING for mission desing. I'm eager to see the mission evolution in the next few months :)

I have problem understanding what your reaction was about. This is what I was getting at. You can find democratic countries where photographing of military bases is completly legal. What more, in Czech Republic such signs have no effect on public places and can only restrict you inside the compound.

You might try it in Czech Republic and would most likely be fine. The layout of military installation is not defined as state secret/confidental in law, and you are allowed photograph almost anything you want from public places. My cousin was photographing A-10s stationed on Names Airbase for the Ramstein Rover 2012 last week and noone arrested them or ordered them to cease photographing. My guess would be that in Slovakia the situation will be similar. Different country, different approach, different laws. So please, let's stop with the generalization.

Because the BS2 upgrade is cheaper then the BS2 stand-alone. So you ED has somehow validate that you're eligible for the update version. If such check was not there, then you could buy the cheaper upgrade version even if you don't own BS1

Yes, they should. But they also shouldn't overreact - http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/november/12/newsid_2518000/2518385.stm But that has nothing to do with pointing on Arma 3 'look, it's a danger to our security'. It has been stated several times that the island won't be recreated 1:1, so it's kinda useless as intel.

How is it dangerous? Satellite images of whole island are available for free and they certainly have more credibility then island recreation in-game. Or do you think that the caucasus map in DCS is a danger to Russia/Georgia security? Anyone with intention of striking againts the island/bases will have access to different kind of resources. Yes, what they did was extremely stupid, but I have yet to see a way how Arma 3 is threatening Greece (and NATO) security.

Are we back in the 15th century, or what? Law is not a barter, or exchange service. "You'll scrap our island, and we'll release your peple". rly? This shouldn't affect Arma 3 in any way. The problem is not the island beeing in Arma 3, but taking photos of military installations.

pic or it didn't happen :angel:

UBI most likely holds the rights to the original airplanes as well, so they would have to redone each and every one of them, the same way they redone Su25/Su25T for FC2.0. And that is not worth the effort (afaik it takes around a year to rework one airplane).

This is a non trivial problem. The track is basically just a record of events and keystrokes that gets replayed. But for such system to work you need a simulation state that is indentical with the simulation state when you started to record those events. Now, this state on the mission start. For split/rewind to work you need an ability to create a key-frame - store the state the simulation is in (a save/load functionality). This is where things go non-trivial. On mission start, each unit is in predefined state (i.e. airplane can be on runway, on ramp, in air), with basic properties for each state defined in unit lua config files. Each trigger is in a predefined state, AI routines are predefined state...etc. If you want to save the state during mission, then you have to extract all important properties, including those not defined lua files, but hard-coded in modules. So identifying and extracting all important information is one problem. Storing them is another, considering the complexity of DCS aircrafts the amount of parameters is huge (avioncs, electric system, hydraulic system, engine..etc) and you need them all if you want to recreate the aircraft state. The resulting track would be gigantic in size. And creating a key-frame every few seconds might even be a performance issue. Creating such system would a big investment with zero-return value. You cannot sell it as a module, or as a major feature of a module. That's the reason why very few games have a full rewind/skip feature in their replay system. And if they do, they most of the times work only on the parts you have already watched (they are creating key-frames on the fly).

You have downloaded the update BS2 version for BS1 owners. This is the one you have to download http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?scr=product&ProductId=12&end_pos=136&lang=en

Sounds fantastic :)

That model isn't present in current DCS World version. Soo... It...it...it...must be a hint what the next DCS module will be! :D :P

The GUID is how FC2 matches controller to profile. Those Saitek rudder pedals will have totaly different GUID on your fresh installation, so for the file to work, you must name it Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals {NEW_GUID} 1)Open controller configuration in FC2 2)Assign something, anything, to your pedals. So FC2 has to create a config file for the controller. 3)Exit, check the new config file name and rename your old file to match it.

I'm lazy, I admit it, I haven't read all the 46 pages. So my questions are 1)What kind of campaign is the new F-15 campaign? Is it more like BS - Deployment, or FC2 Revanche? With custom voice-over, background story and good mission variety? Or is it more like the A-10C Georgian Hammer campaign? With the same template used over and over again, with increased difficulty? 2)Were those old missions/campaign tested? I mean, realy tested, not just 'well, looks like this one works'. As whole campaings? So problems like : http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=90824 shouldn occur and it shouldn't be the bugfest the A-10C campaigns/mission were?

Just speculation: Maybe because UBI has delegated the distribution rights in other places to different parties. I see LOMAC regulary in stores, sold for few euros as a PC classic (so someone is distributing it). Reopening those treaties, for every region, to allow UBI digital distribution rights, would require too much effort and is not worth the few bucks it would earn.
