Some people are reporting and FPS hit. ED seems to have found the problem though. They will send the fix through the auto updater. My FPS are fine so I wonder what the common denominator iis for the people having problems?

Install DCS World first then, then any modules in any order. Also use the torrent when downloading, its faster. The FM is more stable that is for sure and I picked some FPS as well.

No you dont have to, there is a post by me at the DCS forum and it tell you how to transfer it.

DCS 1.21 Updates The move to DCS version 1.2.1 marks numerous changes and improvements to the entire series of DCS products. As with the all DCS products now, DCS World (1.2.1) must now be installed prior to installing any of the DCS module versions 1.2.1. New 1.2.1 changes include: DCS World, 1.2.1 This new update to DCS World provides a set of new features and fixes. The most important of which is the new auto updater that will now automatically update your DCS World files without having to download entire new versions and manually install. • Added new auto updater function. This will automatically update your DCS World files to their latest versions when online. • Corrected KMGU-2 loading in the Resource Manger. • Improved multiplayer stability and issues with master server. • The Su-25T Flight Manual has been updated. • We have fixed forests that would be missing on map when zoomed in. • The proper S-125 HUD symbol has been added to the Su-25T when in SEAD mode. • Corrected unit measurement for Russian AWACS (feet to meters). • Added a change to the manual for the role change window in single player. • Added some additional Su-25T commands for keyboard and joystick. • Optimized the models for the IL-76MD, IL-78M and A-50 aircraft. • Added "Escort" and "Follow" advanced tasks for aircraft in the Mission Editor. • Fixed Su-25T autopilot. • Corrected rocket/missile smoke trails. • The Su-25T gun pods are now modeled correctly. • Improved water effects. • New F/A-18C model. • New MiG-31 model. • New T-90 main battle tank model. • Updated DCS User Manual.

Please note that MP requires you to have all products S/N activated using the same DCS (webshop) account.

wE HAVE NEW mIRAGES?

Maybe you cant read but, The Viper Team Vipers are Mirage Factory Vipers, we just changed the name of the mod group.

Daytime you get a better look. Now it finally done.

This is awesome. Gave me a good reason to actually fly and not mod.

There is an option to mount a yoke in the middle. The little shelf it sits on looks like it would hold a CH stick for example just fine.

Added the LED light bars.....Mounted the MFP

http://www.youtube.com/user/officialpsy I haven't laughed this hard in ages.....its so dumb, its cool....

Wags just confirmed that FC3 will belayed will they work out some bugs and add new features. No new date has been given.

Who is planning on getting FC3? Well first sign up for the contest. 2nd I have an unopened copy of Lock On which you need for FC3. Anyone need it?

"So I have re-made it completely from scratch. Not one mesh remains from the original model and it now weighs in at just over 20000 polys."

? Looks great Dels

Matt Wagner has posted some info behind what the AFM does for the missiles improvments. There have been a lot of questions of what the new FC3 Advanced Flight Model (AFM) for missiles entails, so here is description of some of the new features: Launcher platform speed, thrust, missile weight, total drag, gravity, etc. are all calculated to determine missile speed. Missiles now incur realistic energy bleed that accounts for drag, induced drag and gravity. Induced drag calculates g-load and that factors the missile’s lift. Missiles will now bleed energy very quickly if the target performs hard maneuvers. We added a longitudinal-load fuze arming type. The missile warhead of missile will only be armed after reaching the assigned longitudinal g-load (acceleration). Otherwise the missile will not detonate. We added a limited duration to the missile’s power system (gas-generator, generator and hydraulic pump). When the onboard power system is exhausted, the missile goes ballistic. We added a self-destruction timer. Some missiles will self-destruct when the timer is reached. We added altitude based of self-destruction. Some missiles will destruct when reaching an assigned altitude above ground level. We added a guidance timer delay. After launching a missile, the missile will fly straight from the from launcher for safety reasons before initiating the guidance stage. This is typically 0.3…1.5 seconds. For example: the R-27R missile flies unguided forward for 0.5 seconds before guidance to target starts. We added parameters of loft trajectory. The initial range to target, the range of transition to proportional navigation, and initial angle of loft are all factored.

I haven't seen a digital copy of it.

I like mine semi new.

Congrats!

See. just like mom said, "Quit playing war, you could lose an eye that way!"

Done and done.

True but I can't do the center stick thing. Side stick has always worked better for me.
