Got wood?

At the moment icons are either on or off and thats it. Icons on servers look like this; Official 1CGS Icons on EU server; and Coconut's Icons on server; Not really convinced by either of 'em. As you can see, as icon's are not configurable yet it's just a bit....meh. You see icon in distance, he sees you, gain height for merge, etc, etc and then its all in the wrist action. I'm not really sure if its worth the time or effort to put up a DangerDogz server yet. Apart from the very obvious problems that FT has pointed out, I think the whole dynamic of multiplayer in BoX is about to change with the next imminent update which will give us a coop mode that players will able to host from their own machines without using the DServer system. Another 'wait and see' methinks. At least it'll be a short wait this time! Anyone up for another Euro time get together for BoS one evening soon? Tonight perhaps or Monday, Wednesday......Friday.....?

Really? Sounds painful. Couldn't they have just held hands?

But how the hell did Ivan end up in the channel?

Went on this this tonight... https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/21490-finnish-virtualpilots-dynamic-war/ In fact there was a lot of this... and even a little bit of that...

I want to see if you look like Jacques Cousteau

I want to see a picture of you wearing it Crash

Vsync off? Tried it, frames do go up but I find the screen tearing I get too distracting. I'm happy with what I've got now. Game is smooth and looks pretty good with Reshade and these re-worked maps. Now they just need to fix....well, a whole host of stuff and develop and release more content and have a full time other job

After some fiddling I'm starting to understand whats going on now. Applied Reshade to my game this morning to give it some life and vibrancy and checked some graphic settings. This is Blitz running on everything high or max as I can in version 4.3; It's also choppy, stuttery, etc. Not good. By disabling extended clouds, distant static shadows and lowering tree quantity to medium I get this; Much more like it. Note that mirrors on my system cost 10fps too. It's also MUCH less choppy. Perhaps the smoothest CLoD has ever been for me. Now if only they could do something for force feedback, the A.I., the GUI, etc, etc.

This is what I get with 4.5. Used to be a solid 55-60fps in version 4.3 and I'm pretty sure the scenery did not pop up like it does now. New scenery looks better but theres still a whole lotta' shakin' going on with trees and their shadows and plenty of general stuttering all over. Been rather disappointed by this patch. Performance is so so, force feedback is still terrible and the a.i. still barrel roll into the attack whilst sounds, visual effects and netcode seem to have taken a step back. Looking forward to what BoX and DCS bring in around the end of January a great deal now.

Yep.

Two year warranty? Good sign; they've got confidence in their product

Have you got your christmas pressie set up yet Crash?

Cor!

Mmmm........nothing is going to happen overnight but its certainly going to happen in the near future. Local government and the NHS (but not the MoD) have already had a great cull of all things Windows XP and in their terms of reference this really was an 'overnight' thing. I've no doubt Microsoft have already made their own sound business decision about the future of 32bit support - we just don't know it yet. I have a feeling that too many businesses and governments relying on 32 bit applications will not slow down any Microsoft decision but actually accelerate it. The temptation to declare an end to security updates for 32bit applications and the ensuing sales of 64bit supported software might be a tidal wave of liquidity too big to resist.

Uh uh. It means a major player is abandoning 32bit support for its products. I suspect Microsoft won't be too far behind now. The writing is on the wall.

Strange; for the same settings I seem to have worse FPS in Blitz than in the previous version and it's still lumpy, bumpy, choppy CLoD. I was under the impression the switch to 64bit and DX11 would have improved this?

Looks great! Do we know how imminent the 2.5 release is yet? I find the DCS forums.....confusing......

Hello and welcome Thrudd Would this be Glasgow, Kentucky?

Thought I'd make a little rough and ready video to help with ground handling, take off, landing and how to avoid ground looping. Please feel free to discuss.

Feeling.....Pingey

The mission editor? I can take someone else's mission, open it in the editor, change the time of day, the weather and sometimes even some planes.........and thats it One thing worrying me about a switch to BoX is that FT will get lumbered with the mission building or - knowing what a star he is - he'll take it on anyway. The mission editor is basically a Dev development tool from RoF days reluctantly provided by the Devs due to popular demand - mostly by people who'll never use it. If FT takes it on will it cut into his bridge building time or will it accelerate it as he goes gently bonkers from opening the mission editor, changing something, closing the mission editor, firing up the game, closing the game, opening the mission editor, closing the mission editor, opening the game, ad nauseum.....? Forget about mission building a la' IL2 1946 and CLoD.....completely. Some very useful links and discussions can be found here; https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/forum/92-mission-making-and-mission-editor/ 'Ere, isn't it about time we flew this thing again if we're going to make a brave new world?

Not sure there are any popular icons on servers with CEM. Generally it's icons off but with a choice of what they call GPS on or off. The two most popular servers at the moment are Wings of Liberty - which has GPS on and Tactical Air War which has GPS off. The GPS on bit means when you bring up the main map you see your own plane as a black symbol which gives position and heading. The icons system in BoX is not as developed as IL2 1946 in that there is not a choice of when and how an icon is displayed in terms of distance or information given. My tip for flying Wings of Liberty - disable the chat. It's usually terrible.

Hello big guy! Long time no see Teamspeak - you should be able to read this link; http://dangerdogz.com/forums/topic/12202-teamspeak-passwords/ A new rig? Don't know too much about the latest and greatest tech out there atm but all the more modern flight sims benefit from a quad core - nothing is gained by a six or eight core. Something capable of running around 4Ghz would be good too. Hmmm.....sounds like an i-5 to me. Nice to see you here again SkyPup
