  1. Account attempted hack while I was away on Saturday, I discovered it late Sunday evening.  Reset the password again.

    This email was generated because of a login attempt from a computer located at 185.195.25.41 (RU). The login attempt included your correct account name and password.

    The thing is that I had to login to the DD site again.  Now I'm assuming this person may have tried to access (same password....maybe) the DD site and reset the cookie for my login?  Anyway.... beware.

     

  2. So we're registered, you'll need a password and mum is the word on that one.

    It can be pretty intense and always unpredictable. I didn't survive my first number of sorties, flying alone and set upon by 4 enemies at a time.  I was doing OK with the Spit, staying above the 109's till I took AAA damage.   Don't fly here alone.

    Another day there were 4 of us and we never saw a fighter - known as the Somme Turkey Shoot. 

    Another thing. I've been helping a newer pilot with some basics of combat and since we're in this squad server I've asked him to put on the DangerDogz tags, sort of a field promotion as it were.

    Should I ask him how he feels about sheep??....  DD_Jorge_S if you see him.

  3. For a while I haven't been able to stay in a server. Windows would actually tell me I'm out of memory and shut down DCS within a minute of joining. No problem in single player at all.

    Some searching and adjusting to let Windows manage page file size fixed that. Control panel/ system/advanced/performance settings/advanced. System managed size.

    With the monitor running memory use creeps up gradually and seems to stabilize around 12.5mb memory (of 16) used after 1/2 hour in server. Stutters of 2-3 second much reduced but I still sometimes get the 30 second pause that kills.

    Strangely, I don't get the complete system lockup (while testing alone) that has been plaguing me recently - I think it may be teamspeak related

    Translated the text here:
     
    In the control unit there are 3 mechanics GVL224 (ORE, Screw pitch and universal with the bent rod).

    Mechanics are iron, axles on bearings with non-contact sensors.



    On the handle of the throttle there are 16 buttons.

    Front panel:

    - 3 axes on variable resistors (potentiometers);

    - 8 buttons in one unit;

    - 4 toggle switches without locks in the extreme positions (like 8 buttons).

    On the side panels of the housing 2 axes on variable resistors (potentiometers),



    Total we have 8 axes and 32 buttons.



    The case is made of acrylic 3mm thick, collected as a 3D puzzle ..., available in black, white and transparent.



    The price is 140 US dollars plus the transfer of $ 22 from outside Ukraine.



    Dimensions of the body (without height of the handles) width 225mm, depth 200mm, height 45mm.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
  5. Can't tell you how many engines I've fried - have Rad control slider advanced but rad closed till you touch it.

    You may as well, and very likely should, begin to use checklists. You can get away without in fighters (as long as you're OK with the occasional fried engine) but bombers get more complicated. The Hurri has engine operating limitations on the right canopy rail.

    DCS is going to have the next big news/ map release and if you start flying that you'll have no choice but to begin using checklists for everything.

    Verify the game through STEAM.... then re-install the Team Fusion Update.

    If that doesn't work... uninstall the game, delete the folders except the ones in your Documents, then re-install basic game, then re-install the TF update.
     
     
    That was from this thread on ATAG    https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24728
    And do everything as administrator.
     
  7. Spotting isn't so much the problem for me. Just before they're rendered as aircraft proper from the label exaggeration they seem to vanish for just long enough that I often loose sight and have a semi-panic moment.

  8. A nail in the CloD coffin.

    Not the last nail but it's very disturbing that TFS has possibly the most important member leave at this critical stage. Once all the agreements are signed and 777 lays down the law he quits. Very telling of the true intentions of the new owners.  There was some veiled talk that the reason 1C acquired CloD was to kill it's competition with BoS (meaning to kill CloD)  and it's looking more like the truth.

    As Churchill said " Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning".

  9. by Admin (Philstyle)

    It was my decision to close it (I pushed Reddog to put the lock on); a few main reasons:
    1. SoW's position on TFS has been made clear now, we're just restating existing material

    2. We run the risk of it turning into an echo-chamber for the few of us who have criticisms and still care. There's scarcely 200 people, max, playing CloD in its peak times now. Even if 10% of CloD players harbour strong criticisms, that's only 20 people, 10 of them probably posting here.

    3. I'm hoping SoW can push in a new direction and leave CloD behind - A point I've made a few times already. The constant "dipping" our pokers back into the TF/ CloD fire is distracting us from doing that. TBH, as one example I'd rather be seeing, talking about and flying with ACG on your DCS server - which has some great missions btw, I just wish it was up more, and more folks were flying on it.

    4. The recent "explosive" (nice phrase!) posts are hiding a lot more that could also be said. Some of it potentially very damaging. I wanted to cool the wheels before it escalates to that . . .

  10. I'm just curious ... if you go to your control panel and open Performance Information and Tools you should see a rating there and sub-scores of component systems.

    The low score numbers are very likely the areas you need to concentrate on.

  11. Mine are getting a bit long in the tooth and are "clunky" about the center so I'd been eying the mod to remove the center detent. When I had them apart for the mod I saw the tracks themselves have a couple of divots worn in just about where the pedals sit at rest. Taking out the detent had little effect on the pedal feel. Still clunky at the center.

    Each of the Saitek pedals mounts on a 4- roller carriage that sits in a pair of tracks molded into the base. Almost all the wear  is near the end of the track nearest the user. The good news is that the base itself is symmetrical save for the notch cut out to feed the USB cable through. With a small round file I made a corresponding notch on the other side and reversed the base so the the pedal carriages ride in virgin territory. Cleaned out the old gummed up grease and lubed them up with plastic friendly grease. Greatly improved feel, no more clunky spot.  

    What if that isn't good enough? I originally thought I would have to put a metal strip in the track to cover the worn part and had been thinking what material to use. The track is just a hair over 1/2" wide but quite shallow, the shim needs to be stiff but very thin, too thick and the pedal carriage will jump the track. Options might be hacksaw blades (there are thin wood cutting blades) with the offset on the teeth ground off.  Possibly the easiest might be a flat spring from inside a tape measure.

    If anyone does get to the metal shim stage please post your results.

     

  12. I'm going to revive this thread a bit.

    I grabbed Virtual Cockpit for Cliffs and I must say it is very useful. There are a lot more profiles to be had now. Customize what is displayed.

    I find it especially handy for those hard to see temperature gauges, slip/skid, the "hidden"  Hurri tachometer and the compass. 

    This are the features I've selected for display,  taking up the entire second monitor. Teamspeak  will overlay on top.

  13. There are 3 boxes there I can't see in your pic. I assume it's the top box (Swap Axis) you have checked?

    You left the Trimmer Force and Shake at the default everywhere?

    I found a Sidewinder 2 nearby for under $100 and am now doing all my controls over again. Not enough buttons!

  14. I see the modules are always in pairs, dunno why mine is a 3 stick set.   Uses up 3 of my 4 slots on the ASUS P8Z68-V.  https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z68V/specifications/

    * Hyper DIMM support is subject to the physical characteristics of individual CPUs. 
    * Refer to www.asus.com or user manual for the Memory QVL (Qualified Vendors Lists).
    * Due to CPU behavior, DDR3 2200/2000/1800 MHz memory module will run at DDR3 2133/1866/1600 MHz frequency as default.

    No overclocking, Win 7 64bit.

    Questions.

    Pull all the memory and replace with a pair or pull one stick and put in  a pair of 8g sticks.

     

    Should I use something off the Qualified Vendors list (on the spec sheet page) or will that just be old info?

  15. I have 6 G of RAM now and could use an upgrade.
     Currently using a 3 X 2 GB Corsair DDR3 1600 set  taking up 3 of the 4 slots on the motherboard. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145222

    Any experts want to share their opinion on the best route to go? 

    I assume I can't use a single stick in the remaining slot? That would pretty much mean getting all new RAM.

    Could I take out one of the 2G sticks and buy another pair? Or should all the RAM sticks be of the same value 4G, 8G etc?
