It is unique 

It contain easy access and learning curve. And get very powerful if you raise the bar and curve get steeper. 

Win 10 had a update causing nvidia to update their drivers. Have you installed them? Because I had problems with GB yesterday and had to install latest driver. 
I run Rift S on pretty high settings (relative) on my 1090 ti and channelmap is smooth and beautiful

I am mostly content with just editing the qmb missions already there. Put bombs on the P 47 ground attack mission put the enemy flight lower and closer 

it is a great tool. 

LuseKofte,

I updated windows 10, updated Nvidia, updated todays Beta release and DCS in 2d with monitor and trackerIR runs smooth but VR continues to

be an exercise in futility.  I give up on The Channel Map in VR.

Well this is a far too familiar problem. I have waited out unstable DCS open beta for month to end. Suddenly it run smooth again snd next update it is not. I feel your pain.

New Channel Map suffers greatly in VR, even on my stout rig low over land I cannot maintain ASW of 40 fps for my Rift S. At least at the same setting as I run

for the Hornet in Persian Gulf.

 

I won't be using that map until they make some optimizations.

For the moment, at least, I'm glad I'm not in VR. My specs are half of what yours, but I can get the Channel map to run well enough to enjoy. That's either sightseeing or low calorie combat, and it does look sweet.

 

But... Amazon delivered my 2x8GB of RAM today - to replace my 1x8 - and I threw those in right away. There's no night and day improvement so far, but the Normandy and Persian Gulf maps seemed to run smoother. I tried using the new RAM with my old RAM to get 24GB, and though I checked the seating, it still only reads as 16. I'll check the seating again. I have the new RAM in slots 1 and 3 and the old in 2. I'll try it in 4.

I run it smooth over rooftop with acceptable tuned down graphics. Still beautiful and still textures on high but with pixel set to 1,2 as nd not 1,6 as I do in persian gulf

Don, thanks for the response, you and Lusekofte were very helpful on this issue.

Bought the map in the end, and although it certainly needs some optimisation and is the worst performing map for me, I’m finding a lot of joy just flying low over the countryside in a helicopter. It’s certainly a beautiful map.

I found Normandy map very demanding  before  I have not flown it ever since. 
Has it become better?

Smoother since I doubled my RAM yesterday.

 

You have a really nice machine, you still don't find the map friendly?

I really never used the ww2 modules as other stuff than fsx sceenery flights. Then Yak 52 came and I used it. I 16 another great ac does not really belong there so I used caucasus for it. 
P 47 is the second after I 16 I fired a weapon with ww 2 ac

Yeah they got it a little better than it was after initial release.

Do you think the same will happen with Channel map. It is a bit boring having to adjust graphics everytime changing to or from it

I am hoping so. It is certainly getting some attention I think over on their forums.

 

[CanadaOne]

They've been pretty good with the maps. All of them saw quality updates.

Amazing, I had a SNES but didn't know this even existed!!  Will have to hunt it down.  I always played Fleet Defender around that time:

 

 

As for DCS, I've made a user theme for the F/A-18 with the old Amiga F/A-18 Interceptor music and splash/loading screens, but can't quite figure out how to get the music working yet, but when I do it'll be nostalgia abound.

I played Turn and Burn No Fly Zone quite a bit. Missions were a bit repetitive but good game. Also for SNES F-15E Strike Eagle, and the M1A1 Abrams game with similar gameplay.

One day I'd like this

 

At the moment, I'll settle for this.......with apologies to Rod Stewart, the US Navy, etc?

Razbam are making an Invincible Class, aren't they?

 

Are they?  Great, I didn't know that

 

I wonder where they'll be going in the future?  I presume an F15 to DCS standard with all the bells and whistles?  I'd really like some sixties, cold-war heavy metal.  

Anyone for an F4 Phantom to made to Tomcat standards?

They have images up on this page, my Naval knowledge isn't the best, and I've been gettng conflicting info, but that is an Invincible near the middle, is it not?

Also, yes they're making an F-15E, which I think they're aiming to get into early access this year.  If ED decide to unshelve the F4E project, or allow another dev to take it on, and make a naval version to go with it, that would be incredible (once out of early access of course ;))

SUNSTAG is involved in the South Atlantic map heralding a potentially radical new direction for Razbum..

 

...one where they actually interact with their customers..

My dad flew Phantoms off of ark royal. I’d probably give my left testicle for an F4.

I am f***ing impressed cool landing. I been so busy trying to like the F 18 and adoring the F 14 I totally forgot about the Harrier

Cor,  you've got to have bigguns to contemplate landing something the size and weight of a Phantom onto the Ark Royal.  I've been on Hermes and Illustrious when they've been operating Harriers and I've overflown the Nimitz.

Uncle Sam had the equivalent of four floating football pitches while we operated out of an allotment!

I get the impression it was very much a love/hate relationship...

S! 

 

Seems ED released information of Syria map by Ugra Media. Got an email about it. And bought the P47D yesterday, a nice plane to fly. Cockpit is amazing.

Because of the covers over the bomb switches I decided to utilize the clickpit. 
And this is the first ww 2 plane I bothered. 
it is so cool and good looking. Same quality as Tomcat but as a warbird very good looking. 
P 47 has been my only flying the past week. Bombing trains mostly

Quick question; I’ve been trying to populate my super carrier with static objects in the mission builder but none of them actually appear in the mission? Is it actually possible to do this at the moment? I’m a novice DCS mission builder so it’s quite possible that the problem is between my ears!

Oh, looks like another map is on the way soon.  Another "the second it's available" purchase.

 

They say it will cover from Turkey down to Israel, and it's supposed to have crapton of detail.

They did the Normandy map, which on release was not amazing at all, although has improved massively since release.

[CanadaOne]

Didn't know that. Thanks.

 

The first time I bought the Normandy map (on Steam) I returned it minutes later. It was horrible. Bought it again when I heard they fixed it, and yes it's much better now.

 

I wonder if Ugra got Syria right, or close to right?

Well, one would hope they have learned from there mistakes, and of course they now have the experience of one map under there belt and what that entailed.

Their Syria map will be directly compared to the Channel map, they have to know that.

[dburne]

Did the Channel Map performance improve any in that last update?
