To test framerate just open instant action and wait 1 minute in. Ctrl pause will show the framerate. Test with all settings on highest or let me know if you have the water=0 tweak. Setting water=0 made my fps go from 14 to 40 even when I'm not near water! I would like to get 60fps I hope by OC from 2.6 to 3.6 and upgrading from xp64 to win7 64. Does anyone know if turning aero and desktop composition off will increase fps?

How's the frame rate? Can you give a report with water = 0 and water on? I have a similar setup but with i7 2.66 and nvidia gtx 295. Considering overclocking. My current FPS is 15 water on, 40 water off.

Thanks mate! Downloading now.

Anyone know where I can get this mission? The original link doesn't work. Cheers

Yeah I know, I'm watching this with interest now :music_whistling: The idea of balance for me was never air to air fighting. The idea of ground pounding attack aircraft going air to air is just not appealing. It's all about the ground war. For example many missions you need to assist the ground troops to get a positive outcome. Team vs Team Multiplayer I would hope would have a similar number of ground troops on each side, and you would have to assist by escorting and providing CAS. If there are fighters like the flanker connected through FC2, then they can provide cover against air threats. Regarding whether FC2 will be compatible with the A-10 or not, why wouldn't it be? Would ED go to all the trouble to make it compatible with DCS, having a heli which is totally different to the fixed wing craft of FC, if they were only going to do it for one module? It doesn't make sense and I wouldn't care for it unless it is compatible with all DCS modules. Otherwise the link between the DCS modules would break after the KA-50. Anyway I'm happy to see anything get released at all, I'm grateful that there's still great sims being developed. Cheers Taipan

Can we hope for one day the Su-25T in DCS with a clickable cockpit? Or the other FC planes? The shkval and vikhr are already there, so you just have to do the rest :) For multiplayer, the KA-50 and AH-64 are counterparts. For the A-10, it needs the Su-25T on the other side. We could have some awesome games then, with a flight on ka-50 spotting targets for the su-25 flight, versus AH-64 and A-10 killing targets on our side :joystick:

Is this disabled in some missions? Sometimes I request a new payload, and nothing happens!

So if your rockets are only good for 3-4 attacks, why not carry 24 vikhrs? Is it weight, cost, or they just can't be put on the hardpoints? You could do probably 15-20 kills with the vikhrs, from outside SAM range. As for the fun factor, it's probably not there to just use vikhrs only.

Good to hear it won't be the hardware screwy version of starforce. Regarding my system: Windows XP 64bit with all the udpates Nvidia drivers updated to the latest. 1000w power supply Core i7, triple channel 6gb ram Nvidia gtx295 graphics 3x hard drives. 7 usb devices. The 1000w PSU should be enough, as it is certified for crossfire/sli so having only one graphics card should be ok. I have not overclocked anything ever. The system runs fine on every other game. I don't know how I'm supposed to do a health check on my hardware, but it sounds very painstaking and time consuming. The only thing I can think of is to replace bits of kit one at a time and see if it crashes.. However without fc installed or starforce, DCS is still going strong. I got through 3 georgian oil war missions without quitting the game, I couldn't even get through the first mission without a reboot before! I'm also pleased I got through them without dying, a milestone for me :) Sure your system doesn't reboot even though it's 64bit, but your system doesn't have the same combination of things on it. It may be particular software that I had which starforce drivers thought were bad, and caused reboots. You may not have that software. At the end of the day, I'm happy because I can finish missions without reboots :joystick:

Hi All, Just want to share a problem I've been having, halfway through missions my computer would reboot with nothing in the event log or game logs!! I tried unplugging everything, removing all mods, reinstalling DCS etc, even buying a powered usb hub. But the thing that fixed it - I removed flaming cliffs, then used the starforce removal utility. After doing some search I found starforce can reboot people's computers, and it can happen on 64bit systems alot. So it all makes sense! Since removing flaming cliffs and lockon and starforce, I've been playing DCS for 4 hours now with no reboots. I'll have to wait until flaming cliffs 2 comes out as it should have the activation style, and not the hardcore computer crashing starforce - I hope that is!!! Can anyone confirm what the protection on FC2 will be? Cheers Taipan

Awesome, looks good. While I wait for my new screen I found the setting to put shkval in the bottom right :) For widescreen, do you know if I need to change the aspect = 1.333333333 in graphics.cfg? Also why is it showing 1024 when my resolution is 1920? Is this just a template file or something? Cheers Dan

Hi All, I may be getting a free widescreen tv I can use as a second monitor, you know when you buy the big screen you get a free small one. However since it's widescreen, I figured just shkval would be a waste since it is square. Is there any way to show both ABRIS and shkval on the screen? or can you only assign one thing? Cheers Taipan

Looks good, I've played with AEF guys in ARMA2 before. I just sent an application in, and I've already got vent setup for your server since talking to your ARMA2 guys in game. I'll send you a PM on AEF site to get on vent some time. Cheers

Thanks will do, installing now :thumbup:

Hi All, Looking at the ingame list of servers I can't see any local Australian ones, do I need an external server search program or is it that there are no servers yet? How many GB does a server use per month? I have about 30gb per month spare and could possibly host one. Are there any Aussie squadrons around or anyone interested in starting one to play on Aussie time zone? Cheers TAIPAN

Does anyone know if the rocket pods and missiles on lockonfiles will still work with 1.0.1c?? They were released around January for version 1.0... Also, since they are models not mods, will they automatically replace the built in ones? Can I just install with modman and use them or do I have to do anything special? Thanks!

Just ordered my trackir, can't wait! In terms of a HOTAS, I love the CH Products Fighterstick + Pro Throttle. It's so smooth and precise, and the analogue mini stick on the throttle is controlling the shkval screen.

Someone asked that already, the answer was: The dirty window is located in the KA-50 WINDOWS.TGA in Cockpit-Ka-50 Textures.cdds Open Cockpit-Ka-50 Textures.cdds with the CDDS-Explorer of Modman and import the original KA-50 WINDOWS.TGA which you can find in the backup folder of modman.
