Two modules running at the same time

[Tango777]

When I mentioned what the F-16s look like on my end during a mission, I meant that they all look like this no matter what airplane I am flying: https://www.mutleyshangar.com/reviews/sean/dcsa10/data/thumbnails1/ai_f16.jpg

 

Regardless of what mission I download from DCS, or what mission DCS auto-generates, the majority of all AI airplanes have a very low resolution which is fine. For whatever reason unknown to me all helicopters though have much higher textures than AI airplanes, but with the exception of the rescue chopper Sea Hawk that flies alongside the starboard side of the Stennis. If the AI airplanes are on my fighter wing in the mission, then those are the only airplanes that have normal high def textures.

 

draconus, no complaints here just questions and opinion.

 

Developers usually have a rig that blows the average gamer's rig out of the water, no pun intended. A developer e-mailed me their specs of their rig and I was blown away because it is in the thousands of Dollars. So whenever a developer tests something for the creation of necessary required specs, I assume they are testing it on their rig they use for design and development? If that is the case, then of course they are going to say that their development of the Supercarrier in this case has little to no slideshow effect or fps hit.

 

A couple of posts here in this forum are saying that 16gb RAM or 20gb RAM is considered minimum or behind the times already.

 

I searched this forum and more than a few Viggen owners had the exact same fps problems that I did, and this was only a year ago. I checked their rig's specs and some had specs that really overshadow my specs. But now the Viggen works great on my rig regardless of altitude, weather, and the amount of action going on in any given terrain and mission. Heatblur must have figured that something on their end needed to be optimized for fps reasons. So the release from Heatblur that DCS put out in a beta update in February last year fixed the low fps and stuttering problems for powerful rigs and my rig. The Viggen was released to the public in 2017, DCS 2.5 probably had something to do with it, and the Viggen fps issue fix came out more than a year after release. Before that release the likely problem was some calling my computer a low spec computer, and boy am I glad that was 100% wrong. All that to say this: It would be interesting if Heatblur is able to do the same to the F-14 as they did to the Viggen.

 

If the F-14 will always be such a demanding module on computing power, I wonder if this is a turning point or a new normal to upgrade (not just more RAM or a new video card) or buy a new computer every couple of years as to what is to come? It was not too long ago that I was told that my computer was a pretty nice rig here in the forums.

Big Rey, I’m wondering how the two will interact with dcs and each other. I’m having a hard time understanding how two mods can be active at the same time or are you either flying the hornet or a part of the carrier crew? Can someone explain how the super carrier and hornet will work together. With the carriers we have now you spawn on the deck and taxi to the launch position then you get blasted off the carrier if you’re lucky and landing is perty much like landing on a runway with vast but a navy version how will the new systems work?

BlacleyCole, nothing will change. Player/client can only seat in one vehicle at the time. In order to be ie. LSO the SC probably will have to be set as player/client in the mission. Just like in CA you can seat in only one vehicle at the same time.

So you’ll be able to see from the Leo view but will not be able to swap positions
