I guess they don't want to deal with the support issues from people who don't know what they're doing? How much better is Prepare3D than FSX?

So the difference between the $60 Academic version and the $200 "Professional" version is removing a "NO FUN ALLOWED" watermark in the corner of the screen?!  What does the $2300 version do?

No, I am aware of the fact that they are apparently not allowed to sell to consumers wanting it for entertainment... I was asking if that watermark is real. It seems too ludicrous to be real and looks like a photoshop that someone made to make fun of their predicament.

No, the real watermark is a piece of text saying 'Academic License' in a mid-tone grey in exactly the same font as the FSX menu bar, in the top-right of where the menu bar would-be/is. In most cases you don't even notice it. e: Here's someone's video where you can see how obtrusive it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB_s7FHu50k SybilVimes fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Mar 1, 2014 |

Which is a better purchase? P3D or XP10 (or both)? Only knock I have against XP10 is that I'd have to purchase a USB DVD drive to install it. Edit: Ended up buying P3D JayKay fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Mar 2, 2014 |

Hey, if anyone picked up the latest Indie Gala Bundle for the Rise of Flight stuff, they added another RoF DLC pack to it, the Furious Wings Pack. It comes with four fighters, two mid war, two early war. SPAD 7.C1 (150HP and 180HP engine verions) Albatros D.III Halberstadt D.II Nieuport 11.C1 Go get your codes. And if you haven't bought the bundle, give it some serious consideration if you're at all interested in a WW1 flight sim. $6 is an amazing price considering on steam that stuff would cost you $100ish (without a steam sale).

Kilonum posted:and they're claiming the CD key Steam gave me for that DLC is invalid You mean Rise of Flight is claiming its invalid? If so try again later. I think their master server is having some kind of off-and-on-again problem the last few days. Sometimes I can't log into my RoF account online meaning no multiplayer or Career mode. Though I could use Pat Wilson's Campaign Generator if I was really jonesing to go on sortie, in fact, I've heard its superior to 777's own Career system.

Hey guys, Just Flight is having a pretty monster deal this weekend - 2 for $20 on Lionheart Creations planes. I picked up the Fairchild 24 and Piper Pacer to round out my bush plane collection, but if you don't have the Quest Kodiak, definitely pick it up. http://www.justflight.com/bundle If you've bought other stuff from them, you can add your reward points at checkout - I got the 24 and the Pacer for $3 after I redeemed my points. Edit: for reference, the Fairchild 24 and Piper Pacer are $29.95 each and the Quest Kodiak goes for $24.95 normally.

What's the best scenery for Western Canada/US?

I use UTX for the US / Canada / Alaska / tropics. ORBX (http://www.fullterrain.com) makes some incredible scenery for the pacific northwest, western Canada and Rockies and southern Alaska, but their scenery runs like poo poo on my computer, where I regularly pull 50+ fps with UTX. I decided to quit fighting with it, but it does look good.

I recently started having a problem in DCS World A-10C, where pretty frequently when I switch to the third person camera using F2 during the first campaign mission, I'll get a 1033 blue screen error. I know that's a graphics driver error and I recently updated my drivers, but the problem persisted when I rolled my drivers back. It didn't happen before when I was just doing some of the standalone missions, so I don't really know what's happening. I have 2 GTX 670's in SLI. Anyone else encounter something similar?

Some of the campaign missions have a lot more units than the stand alone scenarios. You could be hitting a problem because its using more VRAM than the others or something like that. SLI is finicky often times, can you disable it and try?

It only happens when I switch to anything other than the cockpit camera. It's really weird, but I turned off sli and I'm going to play some more later on tonight.

Decided to get back into flight sims after not playing any for the past year and a half to two years or so. Did the Nevada DLC for DCS World ever come out? And are any of the newer DCS modules any good? I have A-10C and BS2.

I'd like to pick up FC3, UH-1, and MI-8 through Steam, next time they go on sale, but ED hates its customers, and won't let me register BS2 on Steam. Is there any way to install Steam and non-Steam modules, and have everything Just Work?

AFAIK you need to cave in and buy the standalone - preferably in a sale. That's what I did anyway. cheesetriangles posted:Did the Nevada DLC for DCS World ever come out? Still baking I beleive. cheesetriangles posted:And are any of the newer DCS modules any good? I have A-10C and BS2. Neither will ever hold the place in my heart that the Warthog occupies though.

I have bought modules from both. but play with the non steam version, because even with steam you still have to use EDs lovely activation system. It works the other way for everything except the BS2 upgrade, so you can buy whatever you don't have direct from ED and activate the keys on steam or vice versa. I caved in and bought BS2 standalone on sale, even though I already have BS1 and the upgrade, just to make installation less of a hassle, as uninstalling BS1 after applying the upgrade removes DCS world from the start menu. I can't for the life of me figure out why BS1 is still on sale, and they haven't bothered to enable owners of the upgrade to use it through steam, but it's pretty clear that it's never going to happen at this stage.

It pissed me off a bit too, ended up getting BS2 steam edition on steam last month for 8 quid so I wouldn't have to bother with that upgrade poo poo again.

Nerds have been slamming the P3D team for their lack of interaction for the past month, so what do LM do? Shut them up completely with a new version! I've also consolidated my post quoted in the OP to a blog format, and added a couple of new things. Check it out here. Wordpress seems really convoluted so feedback welcome.
