MACADEMIC Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Hello esteemed DCS community, I'm still a newbie on the platform, and my heart is with WWII aviation. My sim origin goes back to playing Gaijin's Birds of Prey on the PS3 and later Wings of Prey on my MacBook Pro (running Windows 7 professional 64 bit under Boot Camp). Being new here (I really like the DCS - P51) I would really appreciate a helping hand with a few issues I have encountered. 1.) 720p Projector setup I have a 720p (HD ready) projector at home to which I like to connect my computer. This has always worked very well with the other games but I do not find this option in the list of resolutions in the Options menu. Only thing I can do is to choose a higher resolution (1920x1080, full HD) which my projector is not capable of displaying correctly, it works but all text appears very small and is hard to read. Someone recommended I ask here for help and suggested it may be possible to edit the lua files in order to achieve the correct resolution. 2.) PS3 controller problems I am aware that it may seem odd to even attempt flying the P-51 with this type of gamepad, but that's what I have at the moment and which I can take with me on my (very) frequent travels. I most likely will upgrade to something more professional when I buy a dedicated computer, but for that that's what I have and am used to. The Sony PS3 six axis controller runs very well with Wings of Prey, with a third party driver I got from motioninjoy.com . It also runs okay with DCS, except for three issues a ) now and then I suffer from total loss of aircraft control and view control. The view will just go anywhere and simultaneously there is an uncommanded flight control input - of course the worst you can have in a dogfight or when close to the ground! These kind of control losses are only very momentarily, but I never had them in any other game. Perhaps it's a bug in DCS world? b ) while flight control is very smooth with the left analog stick add rudders (with curves), view control with the right analog stick (as I used to do it in Wings of Prey) is very much the opposite. Very jerky and jagged, although I've set up curves. I wish it could be setup so it becomes as smooth as I'm used to. Any help for this problem? c) I use the upper digital triggers to increase and decrease manifold pressure. I would like to reduce the amount of change that a single trigger input causes, as at the moment the change is a bit too big (makes take off hard, power increase is very sudden). In another game I have this is possible but something called 'Relative Control Sensitivity' and is working very well. Can someone help me with this one? I would really appreciate any help with these issues. Thanks in advance! MAC Edited July 19, 2012 by MACADEMIC 1
