Are your table mounts the short or long versions?

Dude chill out. I can ask a question just like everyone else. It doesn't mean they are going to drop everything and work on my suggestions. Jesus man...

Hey I was wondering if the team is going to be bringing new physics for AAR? To sim the bow wave and collision detection as well as being able to break the boom or basket from hitting the hose to create the sine wave. It is so easy that people are doing it inverted which would never be a thing in real life.:D

Me and a friend practiced last night and the first SLAM would work as far as showing the TTS countdown and seeker would show image but the remaining ones would no longer give the TTS count and never get the seeker image. They would track to the waypoint but still miss the target by dozens of feet or more even though we used precise WP's so there is still a need to guide it in manually I guess. We even drilled down on the F10 map to the closest zoom on target to get the coords. Maybe there is a better way to use coords for tracking alone in PP mode but TOO mode was just not working consistently. Then trying to pick out the target in the DDI was pretty difficult. Very little contrast except for buildings. The APC's and Tanks just blend in with the rest of the green and seem to have no heat reflection like buildings do to show up whiter.

yup they went the other way with light brightness. Really big glowing orbs of light from aircraft and the carrier day or night until you get close in so it is a render distance issue it seems.

Ya I noticed a lot more FPS drops and stutters and it was not that way before. I get major stutters every few minutes or when making hard turns in the hornet or F14. The FPS will drop to zero fast then respond> I have the CPU fixed at 5ghz with no hyperthreading and my gpu is overclocked. i have tried turning graphics settings down to low, with no shadows it still does it. Single player or multiplayer it doesn't matter.

This is great video of the hardships of tanking the tomcat in real life with the bow wave and staying with it after missing several times. Go to 7:01 in the link to video just before the RIO shows the cockpit lighting. It is very red looking but I am sure he had the brightness turned down. Start the video several minutes back to see the basket chasing. I hope these types of physics get into DCS at some point soon. tanking the cat has become pretty easy now.:joystick:

What were you weather settings? I did a mission like this and had to chuck 60kt winds and 10kt boat to get the pitch and roll. That made it almost impossible to get to the ship and stay on AOA trying to fly at 200kts while the wind was just pushing me back and up like crazy.

Resurrecting this thread from the grave because it is important that this finally be implemented. Also the bow wave physics need to be modeled as well. Not have any collision nor pressure wave off the nose to push the basket along with infinitely smooth air makes tanking easy once you figure out visual ques and know what to expect. The baskets and the boom also need to be able to be broken if you screw up and hit the basket too hard and create the sign wave. IS this something that is even being worked on? I have not seen it mentioned.

I would be very much interested in this as well.

Is it April fools again???

Ya you hate having to actually fly the plane...got it.:doh:

I finally got smart and realized why speech rec was acting all weird. The mic on my headset was picking up a lot of noise from my PC fans and the GPU fans which I have cranked to 90% with the door off the case. I also angled the PC more towards me a couple days ago when I was working on it and just never put it back the way I had it plus I have a ceiling fan that I have on now since it is hot here now. I still had to disallow the word GTECH though but eventually windows realized I was saying JTAC and not Tic Tac, or Tip pack.

Please get this into early access. I am so looking forward to this beast. Im going to fly pants off it.

No I know, and I do use it, but it is just not helping my situation for some reason. I can still use Vaicom and get JTAC to answer by using the other callsign so it is not a big deal.

Ya I tried but windows speech recognition is not working properly for me. You are supposed to say the word then in VA you should see the training result and show the confidence level correct? I go that to work a couple days ago but now nothing is working with windows speech rec. It is just playing around with me now I think. I will figure it out but windows is being a little bitch right now.

I know I can use an alias for JTAC, but when I say it with my thick Los Angeles accent VA sees it as GTECH. Can't do any training in windows for it either. It just asks me "What is this?"lol

87deg FOV + $10k = I'm out

Ya easy comms is sort of a oxymoron, just like easy listening music is actually painful to listen to.

This is why Is started using Vaicom plugin with realistic ATC extension for voiceattack. You can force those calls anytime you want. Sometimes I find in case 1 the AI never calls overhead automatically so I have to call it. All the rest of the calls are programmed into vaicom and you ca say them anytime you want...just like in real life!

Gunnars after seeing MRTV review of the 8kx I decided against it as I was going to buy one if his reviews were better. He said outer edge distortion is still not good. It cant compare to StarVR but you cant buy those anyway. IT will be a long time before we will get a high PPD human FOV HMD with no SDE and great colors that will run at 90fps+. Not even the $10k Varjo's can do it. You get a 87deg FOV and 90hz still. That is a waste of money.

I think the new bios firmware for my board is causing it. Others complained about instability as well as reduced benchmark scores. I switched to my backup bios with the same settings for 5ghz and 5.1 and was scoring higher right off. Seems gigabyte is pumping out garbage bios versions for all their boards now. Their customer service is nothing short of horrible. I called and left a message. Two days later some lady with a thick Chinese accent called back and was clearly at home since her kids were yelling in the background. She knew nothing and was reading from a script. I am going to switch away from gigabyte once I get my hands on a 10900k. I got the aorus master board because the VRM's are great quality and legit 12 phase power. ASUS and MSI do some BS doubling of 4 or 5 actual VRM's. EVGA is kind of the gold standard now in customer service and quality. My old 780 SC from them never missed a beat in 7 years.

Ya the GF3 and MCG grip is so much better than the Warthog it is not even funny. The GF3 is so adjustable and I have just stuck with the #40 springs and no extension. Curious what core voltage you are using to get 5.2ghz. I have the KS chip and I can run 5.2 but I need to run 1.36v with LLC at turbo and even with my Asus Ryujin 360 water cooler and another fan blowing on the VRM's it still gets over 85deg which I am not cool with. I am using Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut paste as well. I can run 5.1ghz at 1.3v and LLC on high but it honestly doesnt make any difference in performance in DCS. It shows up in benchmarks like cinebench R20 or R15 of course. I dont care about that though. I want more fps.lol I ran it with 5.2ghz and still didnt notice anything in DCS. I am going to grab the 10900k when they are available again. May swithc from Gigabyte mobo to EVGA as well. Gigabyte is a bit buggy wwith their bios. I think it is causing my either b2 or 62 code. Getting a replacement 2080ti from EVGA today to try as it may be my card. Tosses the code with no post then it is fine when turn it off and on again.

SO i can get most of the commands to work now in SP missions and ones I create. I just have issues in multiplayer since the settings are just going to be different and they may not allow player exports. The one thing I noticed since yesterday was the comms menu in game comms up with buttons that are not mapped to it in the controls options. I have one throttle button mapped to it but two others are commanding it which are the ones I have set for PTT in SRS. This was not happening before vaicom. There is nothing else in vaicom commands set to use the throttle buttons. My throttle is not even an active control in vaicom options. SRS doesn't have to be running for these buttons to activate the comms menu either. No other modules are using these buttons to activate the comms menu either. Very odd behavior. Could the Lua file be FUBAR for vaicom even though I reset it after the last DCS update?
