TWC_Ace Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Ht usually isnt good for games. I was running the dcs in SP smoothly with my rig but with gtx 1060 3gb. I was asking about mp. Well I will try mp when my card arrives.

They made some huge improvements in that respect. They are way ahead of everyone else in flight sims when it comes to lighting. Really well done. Edited March 12, 2019 by Jaws2002
dburne Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Purchased the F14 yesterday. Probably end up being another in my collection I never get around to truly learning, will see.

And I have absolutely no idea when I get to fly it. Not yet even begun the Harrier weapon system training Hornet not yet even set up the controls. Forgot about all I learned about the Viggen . Need to freshen up on the KA 50 too. A 10 c I have forgotten all about it, and I spent many hours on it Edited March 12, 2019 by LuseKofte
fiddlinjim Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) I have done the same all too often, making purchases and never totally learning the new planes and then forgetting what I learned on the older buys. I finally settled with only the WWII fighters and can easily switch from one to the other and enjoy the selection. Edited March 12, 2019 by fiddlinjim spelling
Legioneod Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) The good thing about the F-14 is it has relatively simple avionics compared to the F-18 or A-10 so once you learn it it will be easier to retain that knowledge. The most complex thing on the F-14 is the radar which the RIO operates, so if your goal is to just fly it then you'll have significantly less to learn. Edited March 12, 2019 by Legioneod

That certainly sounds promising for me thanks for the info.

Yep RIO is the one who does all the real work, the pilot just flies the plane. Jester AI takes alot the the load off the player so all you really need to worry about is flying and fighting. Can't wait to get my hands on the F-14 it's gonna be a very fun aircraft to multicrew.

A 10 c I have forgotten all about it, and I spent many hours on it Yeah same here, so many I started learning but never finished - like the F/A - 18. Warthog as well. I did take the time about three years ago to learn the KA-50 and could fly combat in it - great fun. I need to get it set up on my new controllers and fly it again, has been a while. Hopefully I can remember most of it.

My DCS folder is like a fat kid that tries to take all the sits in the room. It's already sitting at 154GB.

Trooper117 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Certainly looks great, but I'll never buy the thing...
dburne Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Mine is installing now. Probably won't get my controls set up and give her a spin till maybe this weekend.
Archie Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Just installed, sat in it for a few minutes as I have no time currently but it is fabulous. 1
Guest deleted@83466 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 First thing I notice, when loading it up first time is the reflection of the pilot in the mirror, moving his head around, as I do. Now, that, is snazzy. I don't think I've ever seen that in a flight sim before.

Carrier ops are gonna be great and I can't wait for the USS Forrestal and Deck crew to be released. Edited March 13, 2019 by Legioneod
kestrel79 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Something about hearing that Top Gun soundtrack and watching/hearing jets take off and fly around that gets me every time. Goosebumps. 2

I have spent too much money on DCS to know I just won't touch it. I think they did a great job, especially with the textures both inside and outside the plane. I really wish IL2 would increase the resolution of the cockpit textures. Just because low end systems cannot handle it, it doesnt meant they should not push the limits on the high end Edited March 13, 2019 by Jade_Monkey 4
=362nd_FS=Hiromachi Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 With F-14 trick is not about textures (which are great) but amount of triangles in the pit. Cockpit model is extremely detailed. As for the Il-2, its both models and textures that would need improvement. Plus, DCS adopted PBR textures, so I guess Il-2 would have to as well.

I don‘t think that would really be desirable. VR play would be affected. You can see in P3D how much of a hit cockpit details can have on FPS. I think there would have to be modifications in how the game is handling multithreading to makesome headroom for that. In DCS I see loads distributed differently over the cores.
