As someone who did the same almost two years ago now, good luck! It sucks to be stuck not only in a bad job, but with people who make the job suck as much as it does. It’s never easy, but in the long run it’s better for your future and health. If you can, take a breather for a few months.
Not to rain on your parade, but wouldn’t you have to group all site hits in 2018 by users, then count the individual users? Unless i’m misunderstanding what metric PC Pilot uses, that would seem like the fair comparison.
So wake turbulence is modeled on the receiving end, not the creating end? So an A-10 and Tomcat can sit in the same position behind the tanker and only the Tomcat has to deal with it?
I guess it has to be that way, but it really seems backwards.
I’m going to give it a whirl in VR tonight. Been holding off on that while I’m getting 2D screens and trying to find my way around the cockpit. They really built a well worn F-14, so some of the labeling on things like the warning systems rotary knob require some study until you get familiar with them.
Well, with the caveat that it is an early build, I had all of my sliders to the right last night and was showing around 38 FPS in the missions they provided. Every so often (like once per mission) I would swap views or something and I’d get a total lock down on FPS to like 1, then I’d switch to an F10 view or something and switch back and everything would be fine again. Not sure if that is a sim texture loading problem or if it is something with the F-14 loading. If I weren’t doing review type screenshots I’d back off my sliders a bit more in DCS World. I’ll probably have to for VR. And I’m using a 1080 (not a Ti)
Man, I’d grab that DG-1000 and soar over the Caucasus, or in Nevada…
Maybe in a USAF livery! (Some people think that’s a joke but they do have gliders!)
Tracking by online user is an invasion of privacy. Why would you want that? Like a Facebook Stockholm Syndrome thing?
Also that 2 million page views didn’t include the 4.6M annual views from the forum, so I was just generalizing a fair bit. And yes, comparing a paper magazine annual subscriptions count to a free no-ads online website page views is not a great comparison, whichever way it is sliced. My main point was really just to provide something comparable with youtube views or something, as that was the only ‘press’ allowed a preview so far for the Tomcat.
Yep. Looking forward to Chuck’s preview, it’s going to be great!
A 1070 should be just fine. One of our testers actually uses a 1070Ti and flies in VR and it is apparently fine.
One of our developers runs a 760 (!) and he’ll hit 60fps with low settings.
It’s heavier than the F-18 in some situations, and less so in others (in particular; we’ve reduced drawcalls significantly, which makes a huge difference with many Tomcats on screen versus Hornets).
We haven’t done our final optimization pass yet either.
