Crash

Just had a very quick fly with the Zenmaster OC off and it seems to be OK in GBS and DCS. Will do more testing.

I have now got the Win10 media creation tool on a USB stick and will have another go with VR with the Zen oc software off. If that doesnt help then format and new Win 10 will have to be the way. If that dont work then its a new MB and back to Intel.

Will try tomorrow. Got to go binge drinking tonight Cant get worse!

It runs fine on flatscreen and doing photo editing. from what I have read VR NEEDs 5GHz and it used to run fine. If I reinstall Win10 and then change the MB to Intel if it has the same chipset as present would I still need to do a complete windows install?

So I decided to give DCS in VR a try to see if it ran OK. It didnt. As as I am not enjoying GBS in flat screen mode I need to do something about it. I dont have a restore point on my C drive so my options are limited. option 1 format C and reinstall Windoze and all my other stuff. Costs only time. option 2 go back to Intel and get a new MB. Reinstall everything. Costs some money BUT I am not that impressed with AMD bios and the overlocking arrangements. So IF I have to do a new install of Windows I might as well go back to Intel Any thoughts? Current CPU Ryzen 5900X and an MSI carbon MB.

sounds good.

3.1.8 at the moment

Hello Bucky Same as it was a long time ago. some of the old names are now missing but we are still doing it.

Have you seen this Colin?

WHY? The MSFS I can just understand, but the other two. shakes head and walks away.

Has nobody else got any thoughts? Please chip in.

There are so few of us who fly GBS anyway. I cant do Wednesdays for either sim but lets keep Mondays for those who want to do DCS. I read Fens we need to talk thread again and it seems that nothing has changed, I also looked at threads from 15 years ago and we had a lot of Canadians and Americans flying with us then JP,Artie,Pooka,BadAim,Tonar, Steaks and many others. The time zones havent changed.

No Colin quite the opposite. I need an excuse to really start with DCS and I hoped that one of the nights would be swapped. Would the DCSers fly on Sunday or Tuesday? Has anyone asked? What about a trial period to see if numbers improve.

To be honest Col, I cant see why no change was an option. DCS flyers who dont want to do GBS on Tuesdays or Sundays would get an extra DCS night, I dont know why they would vote for no change. I dont think it was a choice of dropping either Monday or Thursday. Still a bit miffed.

what did you mistakenly buy?

Still a bit disillusioned about numbers and i dont feel that 3 or 4 people are enough to do coops. I still want to do DCS but offline isnt as good and although I might be able to do 1 night a month on Thursdays that isnt a satisfactory solution. Does the vote to keep the nights as they were mean that DCS on a Sunday or Tuesday are out because people cant make it?

I found corrosion issues on some of the soldered joints , so I have decided to move the Leonardo to the main body and change some switches for better ones. Pix will follow when the deed is done.

You cant beat a bit of stupid PS check the PSU requirements, sockets etc.

If the numbers are low then I would prefer a mission orientated dogfight so the game can flow. The dogs used to have this and I thought it quite successful. If we do coops then I think short missions are best. I prefer ground pounding with the occasional intercept. I prefer using the icon mod and that is one thing I miss from 1946. It all depends on how many turn up, as I am not enjoying the WW server or the other one we use as much as I used to enjoy our missions. As it looks like no change in the GBS DCS nights which means I cant do the DCS nights and poorly attended GBS nights arent that enjoyable for me, but thats where we are. I would have preferred Sunday or Tuesday for DCS.

Last night Fen said he would like to do another campaign. I would like to suggest that we keep it shortish and maybe use Pats generator.

As it looks inevitable that we are moving over, this might be of interest

I bet the captain responsible is glad he isnt in the Russian Navy

I have tried to host a couple of times but there was/is an issue whether it was windows or the router I dont know. anyway we were down to maybe 3 or 4 on a Thursday morning and I really cant see the point in coops with numbers that low. Yes we could have used the dog fight map which was how Thursdays started but people preferred coop and we used to get people waiting for the mission to be called but sometimes it is hard to be fair when someone is on a killing spree and a couple of others are hanging around. ps I used to host most of the 1946 nights in the dim and distant past.

I think Friar will be very excited

Fen, I have stopped recruiting as I dont feel comfortable saying "fly with us its great" and then just 3 or 4 show up on GBS night. I used to encourage people to join in even a year ago. The thing about GBS is people know that its end of life, DCS on the other hand say lots of stuff coming in the next few years so that make people feel positive about DCS and negative about GBS. Do any of the Quorum members still fly GBS except for the fortnightly campaign? As for missions being repetitive yes they are as we can only shoot stuff down and bomb stuff. At least with DCS we could do carrier and inflight refuelling. Also would DCS players turn up on the old GBS nights? I think that the last point is important. I know that you find DCS a far more fulfilling sim but what about the others who have turned to DCS (I nearly said the Dark Side)
