  2. F-5E Training

    Jack / AP,

     

    Another detailed cockpit familiarisation tutorial.

     

    This guy who used to serve with the Swiss Airforce as Weapons Maintenance and Mechanic on Tiger F5 ...

    Maybe we can use this thread as a central repository for any more useful F5 tutorials we find?

    Hi Jack / AP,

     

    I haven't invested in this module jut yet but your post (and our recent conversation) has wet my appetite - now on a mission to see how long I can hold out - hehehehehe, but hey, in the meantime, here's a couple of vid's you'll like if you haven't already seen them... (apologies for some of the language used by the presenter - totally unnecessary but obviously the way he likes to do things...)

     

     

  4. Helios Profile - Mig21Bis (Preview)

    in DCS Series

    Posted

    Hi Guys,

     

    Some may recall my albeit brief appearance after a very warm welcome to the Dangerdogz - although committed on another project, I have been dropping in and out to check the forum and see you are all still having a blast!

     

    As you will see, I am still very much hooked on the flight sim scene and today, I want to give you a preview of what I've been up to.

     

    This won't be for everyone but for those into DCS and in particular those with touchscreen's, here's a Helios profile for the MiG21Bis

     

    This is a collaborative project by myself and CaptZeen which began in January this year!

     

    The profile is still under development but the good news is that all the hard work is done and you will be able to use it soon.

    Hope you like it!

     

    Follow the development here

  7. Uh-1 In Vietnam

    Hi Fen,

    Thanks for the heads-up on this mod...

    Just watched the YT video and it looks amazing!

    I take it this is a terrain mod which will change the look of everything in DCS 1.5 as opposed to being a new independent map?

    Looks like DCS is now being updated via torrent and so far everyone at ED Forum is complaining how slow the transfer is.

  19. Missile Guidance Systems Explained

    in DCS Series

    Posted

    When I first encountered DCS, I had no idea where I was but having watched this video I now realise this was a good thing because not knowing where I was put me in a stronger position to know where I wasn't. This means that even if I thought I was totally lost, in fact I wasn't, something which is very reassuring for someone that's not sure whether they're lost or not. Several months on, I load DCS and think I know where I am but then, applying the video-science, I recall this isn't a good thing as it means I'm totally lost which means I've been wasting my time and have learned absolutely nothing about DCS. My conclusion: the video is spot on (which means it isn't) I think!  :icon_scratch:

  20. Nevada Test And Training Range Map Now Available For Pre-Purchase!

    in DCS Series

    Posted

    Have to say this beta release has totally transformed DCS for me... doubled my frame rates (60+ even with higher settings) so, a huge improvement especially when you take into account I'm running three screens and a touchscreen. I have also noticed how much smoother this runs and the whole thing just 'feels' more solid. Overall, very impressed and really looking forward to the full release and, of course, the NTTR map :)

  23. Dcs 1.5 Beta Is Out! Downloading Now...

    in DCS Series

    Posted

    Hi Jabo,

     

    Just ran Ookia speed test - 59.83 Mbps (download) and 16.34 Mbps (upload)

     

    Reckon the DCS download is governed by the server and/or network traffic rather than my infinity.

     

    Hi B16Enk,

     

    I just copied down what it said on the DCS download screen (the one which has the progress bar)

     

    All good stuff.... now heading back to get 1.5 running on my triple screens - having a few teething problems :(

  24. Dcs 1.5 Beta Is Out! Downloading Now...

    in DCS Series

    Posted

    I haven't found an answer to my 'delete' question yet but have posted a new thread on ED and will deal with that issue later.

     

    Couldn't resist any longer so have commenced the download anyway.

     

    Just did some tests on the 'old' version and getting avg. 30fps on high settings. I will re-test using the same criteria when the beta is installed and report back.

     

    For those 'number crunchers' amongst us, download is 7740.3 MB (currently achieving 7.8MB/s download speed) with BT Infinity.
