  1. I recently asked for a video from pre LO-MAC that demonstrated a feature I was looking for. This effect was made prior to LOMAC being released publicly, yet never made its way to any former or current DCS / ED product. http://www.4players.de/4players.php/download_start/Allgemein/Download/4605.html Look close enough, you will see vapor being sucked in towards the aircraft when the engines spool up on the carrier. How come this effect never came into LOMAC or DCS?
  2. It should be closer to 13 - 15 inches, depending on chair height and knee height...just high enough where your elbows and forearms rest on your thighs comfortably.
  3. Before LO-MAC was released, there were videos that displayed the new graphics and aircraft that were posted by the devs in the videos section. Since UbiSoft removed the Lo-mac domain, these videos have disappeared, and Im looking for a specific video. Any ideas where I can find them now? Not really sure what to look for on youtube. These videos would be quite old, pre 2004.
  4. So what are you going to do up there? Hang out?
  5. It used to be the Mi24's would engage the armor first, then attack the AAA sites. Now, the AI just look all big and scary and hope those tactics work.
  6. A more simplified answer to this would be a higher compression capacity within the compressor chamber. Cold, dense air with moisture has a higher rate of expansion than warm, less dense air without moisture. I wouldnt put moisture into play because it also affects lift, but comparing volume by volume of the two varieties of atmosphere, the cold and moist dense air provides the greatest rate of expansion for thrust producing turbofans. If I remember my physics correctly (and its been a while), temperature is directly proportionate to pressure. I would think that sound wouldnt be able to travel in a zero pressure environment, but I cant back that assumption up. You are correct about temperature being regulated mainly by the temperature. <---not a physicist.
  7. Its more due in part by pressure. Exhaust gases have a higher rate of expansion with cold atmosphere, while lower pressure creates less parasitic drag on the air frame. The amount of water vapor (relative humidity) in the atmosphere also affects sound speed.
  8. Alt tab and then returning to DCS multiplayer doesnt help? Works for me, happens when you click on the desktop before DCS loads up.
  9. Greatest supermaneuverable aircraft of all time. Only aircraft with an aft facing engine that can hover in mid flight and stay stable ever built. 0HdcoYq_mbQ
  10. Thanks...now if there was a way to move the chat to the center of the screen?
  11. Is there a way to change these colors? Its hard to read in that dank, dark UH-1 and Ka-50 cabin those dank, dark blue colors of the current text. Along those lines, is there also a way to position the text to where it sits in the middle of the screen on a multi monitor setup? I have to look at a 40 degree angle just to read a chat message.
  12. I had just shot down an enemy AWACS, and subsequent radar contact was still displayed in friendly AWACS datalink as a live aircraft. Here is a track file. https://www.dropbox.com/s/9w7pixs00v6gvst/New%20WinRAR%20ZIP%20archive.zip
  13. I have the exact opposite - the rotors are missing shadows, I see the mast just fine.
  14. Its actually the simulator itself that makes the screen look stretched on the outside monitors. It looks the exact same way in FSX, but not in X-Plane 10 and BF3. Hell, even Crysis 3 and Max Payne 3 look stretched out at these resolutions, but some simulators display these graphics just fine. Ill post some screens for example when I get home from work this evening.
  15. Try running DCS in administrator mode. I had the same issue, this fixed it for me IIRC.
  16. Static electricity is induced onto the airframe via friction from moving air. Ever notice that when you drive your car, you will sometimes shock yourself when you close your door after you get out and refuel your vehicle? Attaching cables to an aircraft usually just grounds the vehicle to dissipate the static electrical charge on the airframe. All aircraft have static wicks that help with this problem, but I dont recall seeing some on helicopters.
  17. Youll have a master warning light indication for rotor rpm on the dashboard annunciator panel, and youll hear your engine rpm revving up faster than what they are in full military. Sounds like when you dont have the auto governor engaged, and you have full throttle opened up. If you cant read the gauges, you can at least see the red no-go line on the rpm indicator.
  18. ksyY2nRw0mU Lots of landing, plus I get to barrel roll AND LOOP my choppa.
  19. Maybe not part of FC3, but it is/was the foundation for FC.
  20. Ive noticed that the real reason why it overclocks hot is because the past few generations didnt let you tweak the bclk. If you raise the bclk instead of the core multiplier, you will get drastically lower temps. As it is, with my cooler and my delidded processor, I get 60c load temps overclocked at 4.5ghz w/ 1.29v on the core. Thats MORE than reasonable, if you ask me.
  21. Just grab one of these and be happy. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608024 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42jBSxBY1ec http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc3_B2ZFy_c
  22. I have all of that and never had many issues with max settings. Got a few vids on youtube that point that out...
  23. If you dont have Haswell or Ivy Bridge, just get it over with and get Haswell. Best thing about Haswell is that it plays FSX a hell of a lot better than any other chip on the market (providing you have FSX). Ive no regrets getting the hardware I have now.
  24. Dual citizens cant get TS clearance per DoD regulations. They "can" get secret clearance and ITARS.
