    DCS World 2.5 Gimp gets Air-toAir Kill

    So I've been messing around with DSC World 2.5 since I can't fly for real right now (let my medical certificate lapse while recovering from ACL reconstruction) - REALLY digging it although the dogfighting is much harder than SC due to energy limitations of flying planes vs spacecraft. Anyway, I...

    Sweet Baby Jesus, 2 F@#%ing Years?

    Today marks 2 years since I joined you magnificent bastards and bastardettes in the service of Glorious Leader - where does the F'ing time go? Since joining I have penned a series of short stories including one that was picked up by a digital fan magazine (need to get back to that, it was fun)...

    Should I be salty?

    Finally reviewed the roadmap on the new website, a cool feature, but hard not to feel salty that a bunch of far more recent ships are jumping over the Carrack at least as far as the roadmap suggests. I thought I saw in a ship shape that several vehicles not on the roadmap are getting into...

    Paying it forward

    I think I have gotten to a point where I have found some of the cool things in the 'Verse, have put away a few million aUEC and flown a few missions and figured I'd offer to walk anyone through the finer points of 3.0 like navigating, missions, trading including some special high-profit...

    2948 TEST Olympics

    I nominate this demonstration of skill and focus for the 2948 TEST Olympics, but in Aurora's of course - beer, precision flying, video cameras, what could go wrong? View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjdRLO4H3jw I love these little ultralight helicopters, might have to get one some day -...

    CamperStang

    The Mustang Beta is my first pledge ship - I love the concept and even as buggy as it is I still take it out from time to time. Now that 3.0 is live I pulled it out the other day and just cruised around Daymar, had a great time, made it Levski even. I hope that the Mustang rework maintains the...

    TEST Penguin, BEST Penguin

    The more I fly it the more I like the Penguin - I believe it is the best value in the game, it can fight, carry, fly, and run, all reasonably well - and it is just damn photogenic. And when it glitches it is pretty funny sometimes.... 'Gimp

    Carrack

    So, am I hallucinating or did CIG at one point during CitizenCon 2016 suggest we'd have the Carrack as part of 3.3, slated to be June of LAST year? Does this mean that we 'might' expect the Carrack as part of 3.3 or 3.4 THIS year? I am ready to take my Carrack out, really want to enjoy it -...

    She works hard for the money

    I abused the Connie today, 5 cargo runs, 3 hours of play, 350,000 aUEC richer. Ping was consistent 100-110ms, so FPS was consistent 10-11 at 1440 Very High. Made planetfall at Daymar, Delamar and Cellin, with a couple small intraplanetary runs on Cellin - mostly food, spirits and stims today...

    Wierd almost expensive bug

    https://robertsspaceindustries.com/community/issue-council/star-citizen-alpha-3/STARC-50302-Cargo_assigned_to_wrong_vessel_-_now_cannot_trade_and_credits_gone I flew a Connie to Daymar to pick up food and TESTihol to deliver to Levski prior to a Gold or Diamond run back to Port O to check out...

    Technical Question on RAM

    So, on a hunch I checked my memory performance in CPU-Z and turns out I had mixed 2 2GB sticks in that are 1333 MHz with the 2 8GB sticks that are 1600 MHz - so I now know the MoBo will treat it all as 1333. I removed the 2 slower sticks, back to 16GB from 20 GB, but at 1600 MHz instead of...

    THIS

    So I was landing at Bountiful Harvest to pick up a load of Pizza, Beers and Stims as Stanton set and as I switched to external view for the finer points of touchdown the pirate music came on, I thought nothing of it but noticed the distinctive silhouette of an Aurora in the distance, still...

    Ahhh, success

    View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l91ISfcuzDw Took long enough with server crashes and such, but actually feels like an accomplishment - soloing a Connie and making bank. When we can split up profits it will fun to have fellow TESTies aboard and share in the fun for actual gain. That...

    I am still weak, bought a new Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD

    So I had another knee rehab appointment today, and once again I tripped and fell into Fry's on my home - this time I somehow ended up with a Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB SSD. Downloading SC right now, with high hopes for improved performance - I did not migrate my OS though, was having issues with...

    Urban Sprawl has reached Port Olisar

    I think due to the longer time before ships are stored to allow/encourage trading, we are seeing some real traffic congestion at the spawning and landing sites. By my count there are 36 ships in this image, my Connie makes 37. At Levski there were 10 plus my Penguin What is TESTie to do...

    Group Offroad Saturday - Ursa's, and Dragonfly's and Noxii, oh my!

    Let's schedule a TEST Offroaders Club event for Saturday, - let's DRIVE/RIDE out to the Javelin husk on Daymar. Bike Riders and Ursa Drivers/Passengers can swap to keep everyone's O2 tanked up if we all travel as a group (I think the Ursa recharges O2). We will first need to get...

    I am weak, bought a cheap GPU

    So the slideshow framerates finally got to me yesterday and after my knee rehab appointment I tripped and fell into Fry's Electronics where I accidentally picked up a 4GB GTX 1050Ti. Now some interesting observations care of MSI Afterburner. I have seen my GPU usage go from essentially...
