But if the game can't produce 60 fps, it jumps down to 30 fps with v-sync. So you have to reduce your graphics to stay above 60, or accept tearing. But you guys are really talking about the FreeSync and G-Sync here right? Where you buy a special monitor that changes it's refresh rate when the graphics card tells it to.. So the video card's fps control the monitors refresh rate? Personally, I rarely notice tearing and fixing it at this point is more of a hassle that it's worth.

Doesn't vsync normally limit your system to 60 fps, and if the game is too demanding ding (most are), it drops to 30fps? I'll take the tearing (I don't notice it) and keep my fps high. Sent from my Moto Z Play using Tapatalk

I've played a little with mission building in Box. It's confusing. It's based on RoF. Not nearly as easy as IL2 1946. And I believe that you have to host on a separate server, so hosting and flying on the same pc may not be possible.. But I think they may be working on changing that, but I'm not sure. Arthur should be part of this conversation.. He probably knows all the answers.. Sent from my Moto Z Play using Tapatalk

For my 2¢, the reason I stopped flying was that I got tired of the 30+ mins between missions. Once I was dead couldn't respawn in coops. Also I love DCS and it drew me in.. DCS will never be a viable sim for this group because of it's complexity, pc requirements, and everyone won't want to focus on the same aircraft as other A10C, Huey, and other squads have. It just won't work for an old farts squad. ) Long term BOX is the only viable option. If you were flying that I'd be there now. Or if I could find a laid back DCS squad, I'd be there now. But they have too many requirements and even though I love it, I'm old.. Slow to learn.. Good luck figuring this out. I've got my eye on you. Snack Sent from my Moto Z Play using Tapatalk

Yes, just a quick test of my controls to make sure I didn't loose them. With VR in ED you have to completly uninstall ED, and get a 'Partner Key' from Frontier. Then you use that key to get a free VR version of ED from Oculus.

That looks like the best map so far. I bought a Oculus Rift for half price last week and have been setting up my games. Finally got bos/bom setup, but haven't had a chance to fly it yet.. Hopefully I'll find time today.. Sent from my Moto Z Play using Tapatalk

Doh! The QMB did not have a map selected. It was blank. Now it works. With the 100 options on that screen I didn't notice. And the Single Mission works now. So I fixed something. Now to patch to 3.1.. Cheers. Thanks guys. Your the best. I got no answers to the same post on the SAS website since yesterday...

Ahh.. ok, so this has issues from the start? Ok, I'll install that stuff.. Thx.

How do I know which QMB will work? I tried about 5 different planes and didn't change anything else. But none worked. Data was Corrupt... Simple Missions are built into the game, so why don't they work? I have not even tried an old mission yet... But I'll try one right now. Ok, I loaded up an old DDZ very simple mission. Stock map Online game. All I see is blue sky. Press F2 and I can see my F16 externally, but cannot get into the cockpit or even start it up. F1 does not take me back to the blue sky, so it seems I am not the pilot. IDK Seems like I should be able to get this 'base' BAT working before I move onto new stuff. Thanks for the info.. I will lookup that other stuff..

I finally tried this two days ago. Downloaded via the torrent, and followed the instructions. Instructions were a bit confusing because they said to run the setup installer. And also said to extract all of the files into the game folder. Since my torrent download had all 29 zip files, but NO setup exe installer, I extracted all of the zip files into the game folder. It didn't work. Nothing worked.. After reading some more I noticed that there was supposed to be a setup exe in the torrent download, but it was not there. So, I started all over and installed using the setup exe. Still it doesn't work. QMB gives me a Corrupt Data error, and when I load a mission all I get is a blue sky(or dark night sky). There is no cockpit. Argg...

I wasn't able to make this one last Fri. But it looks like they had fun..

Found out about this a few weeks ago before they decided to take 2 weeks off. They host these BoS Bomber/Fighter missions every friday at 19:00 UTC. Sounds fun.. http://www.battle-fields.com/commscentre/showthread.php?26884-Friday-Night-Bomber-Flights-July-21st-19-00-UTC-quot-Tretiak!-quot

A post on FB said that with the recent patch, you can pick your own skins in MP. Someone else also said you can do it in SP. But I have not been able to find that feature..

That is one crazy Frankenstein stick Rog!! Makes me wonder if somehow a force feedback device could be made to attach to your chair? FF is always in a controller if I'm not mistaken? Last winter I put 6 Transducers on my cockpit and love them. But for some games they just use the audio to shake, which is not always realistic. DCS is the best using SSA software for shake events. I've had a helicopter collective for about 2 years now. And it definitely helps with flying the helios. So natural to just lower it to go down, and pull up to go up. And the longer arm gives finer control. I hear in 3D VR it is also much easier since you can judge distances way better.

Yes. Realism was set to Normal. Now it's set to what you said. And I saw your ReShade settings. Thx! Cheers! Just so I am clear.. There is no tail lock? I watched the videos you posted and some others.. And they said the tail wheel was steerable with the pedals. So, I guess it does not just lock if it is steerable?

Thanks, I'll have a look through that stuff. The prop pitch seemed tied to the throttle, so I wasn't messing with that yet. PS: can you share your ReShade profile .ini ?

Thanks, Where in the hell is the P-40 manual? I don't see it in the game folder.. and Google was no help... I am just spinning like a top on the taxiway.. I need help with this bugger.

Yea, I was just surprised they had a Spit in the East European theater? Is that realistic?

I just bought Bom. Had Stalingrad but I never liked the map. [emoji6] Why are they putting a Spit in this game? [emoji12] Sent from my Moto Z Play using Tapatalk

Very cool Roger! Which printer did you get? My buddy started a company called Maker Mark in Cleveland. Sent from my Moto Z Play using Tapatalk

I'm waiting for them to fix the resolution. And the waffle/screen door effect.

I visited a friend who had the same setup as I have and also had a oculus rift. I was not impressed enough to drop any cash on it yet even though the price has dropped. Don't get me wrong, it was awesome. But it's not there yet for me. The main problem was that the graphics were like looking through a screen door at 3 inches away. They call it the waffle effect. So details are not so clear. I am confident this will be improved soon. The other thing is hand recognition, which is also coming along. I definitely will get one someday..

Arthur, you must not be using ReShade 3.0? I found this thread that says it does not work with IL2 BoS. https://reshade.me/forum/troubleshooting/2549-il2-battle-of-stalingrad-moscow

Is that bos? It kept crashing my game when I tried it. Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

Have any of you guys tried the new ReShade 3.0? It was release last Jan and has an in-game GUI to edit and create profiles. I love it. I didn't want to permanently install it into my game, so I just made a folder and copied the game's .exe into that folder. The folder structure has to be the same (ie. dcs has the game exe in a \bin folder). Then run Reshade and install it into that folder and delete the game exe. Then edit the dlls ini file for the correct path. And make it a jsgme mod. It will install the correct dll for OpenGL, Dx8-9, and Dx10. https://reshade.me/
