It is? Hold on...
I see. When did this happen? Why didn't anyone (you) tell me?

I thought you'd all be sick of me spamming this thread by now
EDIT:- BTW Warthog is going for £16 on Steam right now and BS1 is only £5 Nate |

Nah, I need these opportunities to reaffirm myself as resident dumbass anyway.
Was a little peeved with ED though. Paid upgrade for BS, departure from what people were expecting/asking for with the P-51, seemingly handing over aircraft development to 3rd parties... it's a little worrying for the ones who really want to see this whole thing succeed while maintaining it's lofty standards. World and the 64-bit support must have cost them a lot of time to implement though. Good to see these things resolved, from what I recall from the early days they were long-standing concerns.

You're certainly not. However ED has clearly stated that anything that wants to use the DCS title eg the F-15 from IRIS "DCS:-F-15E" would have to match DCS standard.
But for stuff like the IRIS F-14 not using the DCS Title, a standard akin to the forthcoming FC3 would be the minimum allowed. Nate Last edited by Nate--IRL--; 07-13-12 at 10:53 AM. |

On the upside, one of those third party chaps is doing a Harrier...ok, it's the Yank version, but still...Harrier!

Yea. Theres no way I'll be able to run it. Everything else is high, except the GPU. Which cant be changed. Whoever came up with that idea should be tarred and feathered. Thats the dumbest thing i have ever heard of. "Lets make a computer that nobody can upgrade. Its gonna have a weak graphics card soddered to the motherboard"
I'll have to settle for Lock-On for my A-10 flying. I might try anyway.

I'd rather go after those who buy a laptop for gaming purposes.

I didnt buy it for gaming purposes, but i picked up a few games for the side and realized how weak my gpu is. Then, i looked for awhile on how to change it. Looks like i cant. Im looking at cheap "build a computer" places here and there about building my gaming rig. It is just on the backburner.

RO1984, since getting a nice job, I saved up about 750$ and bought myself a Dell XPS 8300 from Staples, and then a while after I got a HIS Radeon 6790, DCS world runs on all high, 1920x1080, the only time it slows down is when I'm using the shkval, and even then, it's not a killer.
But I'm planning on getting the boxed A-10C module, and I really can't wait for the DCS Mig-21bis (<Link there ) hoping later on I get a better connection to fly online, but until then I'll be glad to dogfight with the computer. Since I know a couple guys here are 'Hog drivers, is she pretty manageable? The Black Shark (Tried it at a friends place) was crazy, but after a while (and a few rotor soup incidents) I finally figured out, and since I trust planes whose wings remain stationary a lot more, I'm hoping that it's a lot more practical and manageable that that Helo. Moving mud, one of my favorite pasttimes

As a Hog n00b, I'd have to say that she handles nicely, you get a nice audio warning if you push her too hard, and the meatball indicator gives a nice indication of your approach to landing. If you have a two-stage trigger on your joystick, then it's probably a good idea to bind the first stage to the stabiliser, which will hold her in place when you fire that BFG.
Systems on the other hand, are...American. Whereas on the Black Shark you just boot it up and if it doesn't load right you hit it with a wrench, the A-10 requires a lot of button pushing, and I think that's probably the steepest learning curve so far. But as an actual flying machine, she handles nicely. |
