Britchot

@Labroisse I had forgotten about this with the Xmas break. Looking forward to hearing how you like it. @Razwald and @Klaiber I think I need a profile for Voice Attack, please.

That looks great!

What is your Timezone? PST Do you have a joystick or HOTAS? Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Do you have TeamSpeak installed, as well as a working microphone? Yes and yes Do you have TrackIR, or a FreeTrack system for view control? Oculus Rift S What sims are you currently flying? Just picked up DCS F-14 to be a RIO. Might get IL-2 to be a gunner, too. How did you hear about JG1? Through Britchot Is there anything else that you'd like us to know? Brit's GF and would like to join the roster to fly with the group.

That’s pretty impressive attention to detail.

Happy Holidays, to all!

Greetings, Machinegun. Our CO will be along in short order with some emails to orient you to the squadron.

Firing up the JG-1 DCS Server for some Tomcat practice, in a few. Jump on TS for the information.

Ah, that makes sense. It probably hasn't released in Stable. I no longer install the Stable version, as it seems most servers and tournaments we participate in use the Beta.

I'm a huge fan of Heaven for stress testing GPUs, but if you already have one, use that.

Actually, it’s less stiff than using TrackIR. Instead of only moving +/-20°, you use the whole turn. It’s a little hard to check six but leaning forward and around compensates for the lack of peripheral. Check out https://vr4dcs.com/ for a ton of tips directly for the Reverb. It’s geared for DCS but IL-2 can use the same setup. Also, I highly recommend using https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/39748-3dmigoto-mod-icon-masked-by-cockpit-zoom-for-vr-color-change-sight-strengthened13-features/ for IL-2. Only downside is you have to stay on top of updates, totally worth it, though. I’m home in 2 weeks and can help out more directly, but those two sites are gold. If the Reverb isn’t “2nd Gen VR”, it’s 1.9, for certain.

Welcome to the forums, Voight. I know Klaiber has been in some communications with you, recently, and will follow this one up with some more formal emails. Your interests in the DCS modules closely resembles the majority interest of our DCS squadron and I think you will find a good fit with our European members. As far as your English, I’m sure it is better than my Deutsch, but I’m always looking for refreshers.

Welcome to the forum, Ataribaby. As mentioned, the States are on holiday and Klaiber and I are away from our computers. However, you should expect a welcome email in the next 12-24 hours to the address you registered here. Our European Jadgdstaffel is growing and we have some exceptionally knowledgeable MiG-21 enthusiasts in that section.

Congrats!

Funny you mention this today. @Karl Spackler, just picked her up, yesterday. Also, @Klaiber, @Erhardt, @Jonne, @Razwald, and I, all have the Tomcat. There may be a few others. If you’re interested, we can add you to the Fritz Schmenkel sections, where we focus more on DCS jets.

To clarify, are you talking about IL-2 or DCS World? Both of those sims have these aircraft.

Those are the minimum specifications, I'm afraid that would probably be required in order to run the game at the lowest settings.

@Wittmann, the Multi-function Display is a replica of the cockpit computers in most modern aircraft: https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Cougar-Flight-Control-Panels/dp/B002HH9TRY

Those specifications are for IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles / Flying Circus.

A lot of games have utilized CPU processes over GPU processes for lower settings, for players with older GPUs.

This could be an issue. From the bottom of the page: https://il2sturmovik.com/about/ Minimum system requirements OS: 64-bit Windows® 7 (SP1) / Windows® 8 / Windows® 10 CPU: Intel® Core™ i5/i7 2.8 ГГц GPU: GeForce GTX 660/Radeon HD 7770 with 2GB VRAM or better DirectX: Version 11 RAM: 4 Gb+ Sound Card: DirectX®-compatible Storage space: 23 Gb+ Internet connection: 256Kb/s for single-player career, 1Mb/s and faster for multi-player DirectX® compatible flight stick is recommended

Couldn't that lead to an issue of your GPU dies?

I don't think it's a bad idea, @Heinrich, but filtering the old ones out would require everyone that has them on their computer, already, to delete them in order to not occupy additional drive space. For those with other skins, like WW and US103's, one can't simply delete the skins folder without downloading all the previous packs. Though, it could be as simple as searching within the skins folder for a common phrase, like "! JG1*.*" and deleting the results, then applying the new convention. Aside: Does one still need to do the *.* or is that my DOS carryover? I'm getting old

I believe a change to the naming convention, at this point, could cause a lot of work for all involved.

What processor, RAM, and video card do you have?
