    SC DisplayInfo question

    If it's virtual memory, that's "paging file use". It's about 120 times slower than DDR4 RAM on a spinning HD, not so different in an SSD (which is just a bunch of high speed flash memory) So, if you use an SSD, using virtual memory isn't such a big deal. Memory is faster, but by a much...

    EM, IR Ratings

    I get what you're saying here, but actually though, IR and EM are simply bandwidths of the same EM Spectrum. IR is just high frequency EM. There is no difference between them other than the frequency of the emission. You can have all the electronics you want, and light a camp fire. Both have...

    EM, IR Ratings

    It's a pretty safe bet that CIG is going to implement this for game play mechanic, and not for reality - so whether they treat IR and EM that way is anyone's guess. My bet is they treat them as different things altogether. Just to explain. In the game they want a "stealth mode", and make...

    New to Test Squadron!

    Welcome to Test @Zapper Weisman !!! For what it's worth, I like your choices of profession. Similar to mine. I'm not afraid of combat but I don't aim to make it my life.

    Thats embarrassing.

    Good questions by the way. If RSI passwords are hacked, it's pretty much you'll find your ship inventory all given away or something. That can be fixed on RSI's end. No big deal - and no they aren't really responsible for damages. Your bank has insurance, yeah to a limit. And they also are...

    TEST Squadron, Gather Round......and hear a story

    The game really is good, and it is mostly issues caused by overloading, but CIG is overloading the servers on purpose - AND out of necessity. There is really no other way to stress test a program, and figure out what needs to be optimized than by having thousands of people hammer on it...

    Thats embarrassing.

    No, there is no totally safe ways to store passwords in a file, that includes in Keypass files. These are pretty secure, but that doesn't translate to really safe. The problem with password management systems is, they are protected by a single master password. If a black-hat obtains the...

    Hello fellow Test Squadmates!

    Welcome to Test @KeyzerSOze !! I'm sorry you live in Cleveland, TN. Not sorry for your sake, mine!... See I live close to Houston Tx and I would do almost anything to have something that resembles a hill anywhere near me.

    Finally managed to complete a trade run

    lol. I hear ya. Since 3.1, 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 were released, I've had nothing but troubles. maybe 1 trade run, make 200 credits on hydrogen. Then next run, crash and lose. I couldn't get my aUEC over 5500, not once. Since yesterday evening, I graduated from Hydrogen to Iodine, I've made a...

    SC DisplayInfo question

    Friend of mine just got back from 3 weeks vacation in Mexico with his wife and another couple. He and the other guy used it as an excuse to drink cheap beer. Actually my friend is an army vet, who just received his prosthetic arm from the VA after 12 years. It's a pretty cool looking...

    Violent video games make you violent?

    I did watch the video and I happen to pretty much agree with his opinion. Pretty much. Not totally. I don't like the "study" he conducted for one. He didn't "prove" anything, he validated his opinion. Problem though, is that it's pretty hard to argue that no violence has ever been done...

    3.1.2 released

    I got the new hardware today. It's not really great hardware, just that it's better. It's a tower with components i can upgrade as i need but Star Citizen plays at between 30 and 60 FPS, averaging around 40-45 fps. I love it. Port Olisar looks like a photograph if you're standing on one of...

    SC DisplayInfo question

    First field is Memory in Use. Second (in parenthesis) is Total Allocated Memory. The values for the session peaks are also displayed, meaning 'the maximum memory used this session, and the maximum allocated this session." The values do not indicate if virtual memory is being used or not...

    Thats embarrassing.

    Keypass is probably as good as password stores get, since the passwords are stored locally on your system. As long as you haven't inadvertently stored that file in a shared folder, someone would need physical access to your computer. But then passwords are actually a weak way to secure...

    3.1.2 released

    So I tried it. Not bad. Performance was a bit better than PTU, and the server was pretty full. I almost had a heart attack: Was in my Cutlass, navigating above Daymar after departing Bountiful. Found I was 200Km from OM 6 at the pole, so I qd'd to it. When I started dropping out of QD I...
