  1. After flying CLoD tonite, what did/do you fly in DCS? Just want to know what I would need if I ever could join in the fun. ..
  2. I see that now about the times as I read more. Feel like a complete noob at times. That's what I get for staying out of the virtual skies for almost 8 years. Got a lot of rust removal to do ?!
  3. I didn't look at operational times. If it favors North American time, then that would be a problem for GMT folks.
  4. Any interest in this sort of thing? New campaign starting in "two weeks". I registered (Allies) just out of curiosity. http://www.twomoreweeks.net/tactical-air-war-is-back/ Haven't read up on it to any detail. I know DD have a full plate of flying nights, so I am just throwing this out for chewing.
  5. Now that had to be the absolute best off topic, non answer I have ever received. Sir, you just took me on a tour of your part of the world that I never had a chance to make. I have been to England on several occasions visiting friends when I was stationed in Germany in the 80s, but seeing it in the real almost doesn't compare with your dissertation and flavoring it with motorcyle tales is a bonus. Thank you for that!
  6. Dunno. Did it during one of my "fiddling" phases [emoji28]! Sent from my SM-T713 using Tapatalk
  7. Yep, did it. Works. Thanks. Luckily I haven't gone far with DCS, only Have the Caucasus map. Was waiting for a "stable" 2.5 before committing to more. I am going to half my 144hrz refresh rate in the NVIDIA menu. I've done this before but somewhere along the line in all my fiddling I turned that off.

  12. Missed that, musta came out while I was flying around shooting unarmed ju52s for target practice ?.
  13. Just an FYI. Auto updated and works fine. I haven't looked at what it was supposed to fix (84 things according to the splash screen).
  14. Sid, that seems to have made a big difference. My screw up earlier in thinking I was working on the correct metashaders and fxo. I was in the wrong directory. The stormbirds link got me to the correct one on my C: drive not the ones on my D: drive where I have steam and all the games. Looks like the game looks in two places to operate correctly. Anyway the coloring is better although I dropped a few FPS but I can work on my graphics settings if that becomes a problem. Right now without doing much and everything pretty well maxed out with just one aircraft sight seeing I am still getting 65-80 fps depending on the terrain. I was getting 90-130. I am happy with it as I can now turn Deferred Shaders back on and can control the gamma again... Many Thanks..
  15. Thanks, I will give the above a try. I did try earlier deleting the metashaders and fxo and had problems getting the files to rebuild (got a compiler error) but I may have done something out of sequence. Worth another try!
  16. Funny coincidence. Watching a Smithsonian channel episode about Stonehenge and all the foliage shown is kinda lime green. Is it something in the water in that part of the world that makes it look like DCS 2.5 Caucasus map ?? Asking for a friend ?.
  17. Thanks. That helps get me in the right area if I am reading/viewing correctly. If I can get to the point of getting my "eye" in the sight, I think my old memories will return ?!
  18. Back in the day I could drop 500lb bombs on the deck of a Japanese carrier from 5000-7500 ft from a B25. Now I can't find what combination of key mapping I need to even look into the bomb sight much less use it. Would one of you fine gentlemen steer me in the right direction? Any aircraft that has a Norden bomb sight available. Not that I plan on doing a bunch of level, accurate bombing, but this is one of the last set of key mapping I would like to get behind me. Thanks.
  19. Tried renaming megashaders and fxo individually. Got the compiler error on megashaders so then I tried fxo rename and game would freeze at splash screen. This is either launching from Steam or from my desktop shortcut with only Steam runtime in the background.. No go. I'm done. I can live with what I have now and this is taking to much time from having fun :-). And truth be told, this is almost like I am trying to pad my post count here anyway !
  20. I know I am the newbie here, but I am pretty much available anytime I am home. Barring doctor appointments, I am rarely out during the times (US CST VS BST) y'all would be gathering. I hedge that some in that I exercise daily except Sundays between 11am and 12 noon CST.
  21. You can really see the difference in your above vids. The second one looks like my old 1.5.8. Great it worked for you! I did rename both the metashaders and fxo first. First launch the game tried to rebuild them during the next reboot but I got an error message about the compiler failing during the rebuild and crashed to desktop. So I renamed them to original and all was okay except I was back to original look. So I just took a shot at turning off Deferred Sharers and got rid of 90% of the lime green look. Of course, now I can't control gamma in game. What I am going to try next is renaming one file at a time (metashaders then fxo) with a test between to see if I get the same compiler error. Not smart enuff to figure how much Steam is gumming up the works but it does make me wish I had got DCS straight from ED. If I knew I could get away with it and I wouldn't lose my P51, I would get DCS from ED directly and overwrite the Steam version. But that's just too much "geeking" and not enuff flying ?! BoX, Blitz and 1946 are fine although I can't get Reshade to work on anything I got off Steam. Thank goodness I got BoX direct from 777. No biggie! All this reminds me of another time in my early life crunching assembler code/machine code on ancient mainframes, punching cards, making tapes, compiling the code, running a test, wash, rinse, repeat, until the result complied with what my bosses wanted ?!
  22. Well between tweaking and geeking on my monitor settings, using suggestions from all in this thread and others, I have the lime green down to an acceptable minimum. The biggest thing that helped the overall "feel" of the colors was turning off "Deferred Shaders" in game. Go figure, I guess on or off is a crap shoot depending on too many variables for me to keep up with. I need to work on the gamma a twitch to brighten up the cockpit without screwing other stuff up, but the game is playable (visually) now. I have never had a problem with frame rates and I do get a smidge of stuttering but nothing that really bothers me at this point. I haven't ventured into multiplayer so I have no idea what awaits me there. So whenever ED decides to run a sale again, I can start buying some other maps and AC. Only thing I could not get to take is Reshade. Guess I am picking the wrong launcher (Run) from the DCS folder, but since this is a Steam App for me, I don't see anything else. No biggie as I have it working for IL2 BoX and Blitz and don't really need it for HSFX. Thanks again all.
  23. And I thought I was the only one seeing that problem. So I will follow this for possible answers as well.
