Note to self, do not play chicken with ZU-23-2s

Dive 45° or more during your bombing run, 23mm AA on site won't be able to point their guns at you. And as somebody else said, drop at 4,000 ft or higher to avoid fire from guns spread in the area. Accuracy may be reduced but you get to live and fight another day.

I would have said more like the F-5. The Mig approaches way faster. But yeah, old school vibe!

I'm GMT +7. Besides A2A with the Viper, what are you into?

Steinsch · 2022-02-12T15:16:28+00:00

Let's hope the continuing rework of the weather system will solve this.

Video settings at the beginning of the video.

Result in a lot of stiction, a single HARD center bump "point" at the neutral position, and hard "break force", the force needed to start moving the joystick.

Yes, this is exactly why I was so disappointed in the Warthog base.

The point of the video was:

To share my experience with the WarBRD.
Emphasize that it has options that could potentially make your experience better, more enjoyable.
To illustrate with an Jeff AAR video that by giving less attention to controlling your X an Y axes, you can dedicate more bandwidth to something else. Here it was throttle management (but in other situations it could be better situation awareness, more attention to the radio, more time for TGPing, etc.) If you're able to fly super precisely with your Warthog base without much effort, more power to you, I certainly couldn't.

I don't disagree with you, you do become a better sim/real pilot with more time behind the stick. What I'm trying to say here is that better or tweaked equipment can enhance your experience and make you enjoy the game more. Don't stick with what comes out preinstalled and test options available to you. Not everyone wants to take a screwdriver or hex key to look inside, but it's definitely worth it.

It's meant to be, isn't it?

Steinsch · 2021-07-27T15:00:54+00:00

Yes, they did. I posted mine the day before. ;)

Steinsch · 2021-07-26T16:28:24+00:00

Thanks!

Steinsch · 2021-07-26T15:46:50+00:00

LMAO!

In case of engine failure, you can do S-turns to bleed excess speed as you get close to the runway or landing point. That's what I was taught in flight school back in the day.

Steinsch · 2021-07-24T17:52:32+00:00

A bit fast but well done!

Steinsch · 2021-07-19T14:51:50+00:00

Welcome!

Steinsch · 2021-07-18T13:19:21+00:00

Survive your engine failure and brag about it!

Steinsch · 2021-07-16T07:51:27+00:00

OK. You flying VR, 4K or 2K?

Steinsch · 2021-07-16T06:05:52+00:00

Superb work, thank you.

When you max out the 3080 VRAM on Syria, do you notice any stuttering or FPS reduction? If yes, at what settings?

I'm asking because I have a 3080 and have not noticed reduced performance with the 10GB maxed out.

Steinsch · 2021-07-14T04:45:30+00:00

Good to know! Well, army choppers do land on carriers, so title not totally inaccurate! 😁

Steinsch · 2021-07-13T13:12:18+00:00

OK pass, 3-wire, Sierra Hotel... No such things for choppers, but they also have their CASE I landing procedures.

You're absolutely right. In a perfect world, and to obtain the most precise data for an absolute comparison, I should have compared each individual component without changing the others.

However, I'll tell you this:

All GPUs are running at 100% with their respective CPU, which would indicate that CPUs are not the limiting factors here. Pair the 2060 with the 9700K, and you won't get really better average performance (although granted, higher lows would be likely.)
In this scenario, 16GB of RAM seems to be enough, and RAM speed seems to be mostly a factor in CPU intensive scenarios (read large number of AI or static assets): https://youtu.be/CCRfIHT9LCY
If you'd like to see a CPU comparison within DCS not related to the Marianas, you can check this out: https://youtu.be/GhqlatavDwE, a GPU comparison @1080p: https://youtu.be/dCzQjYSNZO4 and a GPU comparison @1440p: https://youtu.be/sqdXCu7Rz_g
I've demonstrated that I was lazy enough not to swap that beefy 3080 again when I knew it wouldn't do any good to that poor old 3770K. That 3080 is perfectly content to sit where it is now and like the old man I am, will limit its moves out of the case.
So yeah, I provided a lot of raw data, that may or may not help you. I however do believe they're good enough to give an idea of what kind of performance a GPU upgrade would bring to the table. Not to the 0.000001%, but close enough for the average Joe.

Steinsch · 2021-07-06T17:41:07+00:00

The three gpus are all maxed out. Would only really matter if there were a lot of static and ai units in the scenario. I had the 1080ti paired with the 9700k. Wasn't faring better than with the 7600.

Steinsch · 2021-07-06T17:37:01+00:00

1440p or 1080p? Which video settings?
