I was hoping for resource management in DCS.

No, and I sure hope the new resource management thing does not require FC3.

If an MFCD goes out due to malfunction, you cannot switch the page selections; which seems very silly.

Ha ha, a sandy bridge with the stock intel fan, did not think anyone did that.

I can't imagine that it would be too difficult to make one with an enclosure.

EDGE stands for Eagle Dynamics Game Engine; which probably implies that they are going to make changes to all products that are going to compatible with Nevada. Maybe I am being optimistic, but I am hoping for better system usage/performance and a single install for DCS products. But if Vergeev works fine in the current version of BS2 than it is likely that it will be that way after EDGE.

So are you saying it works ok in BS2 1.1.1.1?

Elder Scrolls is crap when compared to the STALKER series

I have not seen much, but from what I have heard some of the visual things introduced in windows 8 seem much better than the load of garbage that was introduced in Vista and "improved" in 7. Aero is extremely retarded. Having desktop icons inside of colored squares seems like a good idea, hopefully it will mean that you locate and click on them faster. DCS sort of already does this with it's icons. No start button is a good thing since it means more space on the taskbar; currently only 15% or so of my desktop has icons, the start button should be on the desktop not the taskbar. Edit: hold on a second, it looks like the start button is still there and in some cases a thumbnail that is at over 4 times as big as what it was before.

It is different: the chopper is twitcher, and the engine and rotor rpms drop a lot more when you push up on the collective quickly, it also seems to take more effort to get into a Vortex Ring State (unless you push up on the collective quickly). It does not seem more difficult, just different. I get better framerates in BS2 than in A-10C, although both are well below the constant 60fps at all times that I desire; so I can turn on VSync and not have any TrackIR lag.

Both static campaigns are great, but I like the first 5 or 6 missions in Medvedev II better than Deployment. Some of them are really good for 4 OFP2 pods. Also I did not care for some of the wingman dialogue in Deployment; like that lame weirdo talking about skiing with his dad.

Hopefully, ED will rewrite the whole 3D engine to have better multicore usage; which would mean major changes to the software, even when flying on the Georgia map.

Hope you get it out before EDGE, so it does not need to be reworked.

So how does A2A handle the radios with their Accu-sim P51? Or are they not simulated.

Will there be clickable checklists? It should also be visable without the pilot body.

It would be great if ED added a tablet PC to the seats of the Ka-50 and A-10C as well as the P51D.

I would be interested in Accu-sim and the other third party stuff except for one problem: they run on FSX. FSX has the worst controller calibration I have ever encountered, no graphs just a couple sliders and a curve or some uneveness that seems impossible to get rid of. That is unacceptable. I am really hoping A2A and the other third parties convert to DCS. It would be great to have realistic wear and tear + damage + maintenance times and problems + weapons all in the same sims.

No guns less fun After reading the FAQ, it sounds like ED wants third parties to make stuff that is compatible with DCS. So maybe an A2A 109 will be flying in the same skies as a TFC P51 in the future.

Even if the cockpit lights are not NVG friendly, someone could still bring the goggles anyway.

I wonder if ED will model NVGs in the P51D. They should, since it is a modern environment and those should be completely independent from the rest of the aircraft in both P51D and Ka-50.

I can't believe there are posts from people who would rather have another WW2 survey sim instead of a high fidelity P51D.

It will be fun to bounce .50 cal bullets off of all those APCs and see how well there armor is modeled in dcs.

That is what I was asking; anybody confirm that anti-ice does both?

What would you use: Engine Anti-Ice or Dust Protector? I assume one of them does both since you cannot have both on at the same time.

Allowing a trimmer press to regain control of the chopper is a fantastic idea. Especially since in most real helicopters you would fly with all four autopilot channels enabled; and then hold both the trimmer button and the collective lever when you wanted to manually control the chopper. Another problem is the collective lever does not seem to disengage the altitude hold mode like it should.
