Ikes Blade_M sounds like you have had a bad experience It is what it is. No hard feelings. I just want people to know to steer clear of VEAO in any way shape or form or on any platform as you may never get what you pay for. Of course the main excuses I have received in the last almost 4 years on the ED Forums is, well ED keeps changing DCS and, VEAO is comprised of producers who do this in their spare time so you should expect long development cycles. Really, common that is just stupid. Almost 4 years and nothing has been produced for the 40$ I spent with them. That speaks for itself. ED allowing this also speaks for itself. My only recourse is to re post the above statement about once a month on key DCS Forums so others can avoid what I have experienced. I have it saved on my Desk top as a a text file titled " SCAM" so I won't forget. I have a memory like an elephant. S!Blade<><

I have to agree , VEAO with its #%&*$# hawk show is something that makes any other my modules feel awesome even with bugs Only module that was uber #%&*$# is VEAO HAWK , its uber messy pile of crap even today. And VEAO still just gives #%&*$# exuces.. But DCS is getting better, progress is slow but its fun sim now. And it would be least 20% better if ED just kick VEAO's ass out of door. SHORT GUIDE TO DCS : DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM VEAO. Remember that and you are good

worth coming back to? nope, give it a miss. Even the crappy hornet release has not convinced me to dust off the HOTAS warthog. maybe when the tomcat comes out after alpha\beta I might consider plugging the stick\throttles back into the usb ports....

I look forward to upgrading to 16 Gbs ram and an SSD I can play basic missions with little or no performance issues Load times are a pain, I recall after one of the updates load times had significantly improved. Not so much after the next update ^^ one of the very few actually productive posts you have made bisher....keep up the good work.

What you mean ?

Remember that and you are good I'm quite sure you have trolled my posts regarding the hawk over the years during and after my scathing review....I saved this post for future reference. ?? Im not sure what you mean. When i first got hawk i was quite optimistic , but not anymore. Other modules = hornet , viggen , and mirage are great. Get updates etc.. You sound like ICE2 ..

Strait of hornuz runs fine, only dubai is bit heavy but your system will be just fine.
Even my medicore system runs it great.
Its quite nice map.

How is the new map of the Strait of Hornuz in terms of performance: does it perform more like the Georgia/Nevada maps or like Normandy? I don't fly non VR anymore, so anything that performs like the Normandy is useless to me. Just for reference, SoH was renamed to the Persian Gulf map. It runs well for me, I'm currently making a campaign (slowly) on the map with a fair amount of units and I'm not having any issues with performance. The only exception being setting clouds to 10, which destroyed my FPS. On the other hand I don't have any issues with Normandy, but I've only really used it for free flights given the state of the WWII AI.

Persian gulf runs even better than caucasus (less trees etc.. , lots of sand ) , only dubai is bit heavy to fps.
Least in my potato rig.
I fly only VR.

Persian gulf is a clear favourite until Razbam release The faulklands then we will see.
Is that happening?

Is that happening? a map that included the southern half of Chile and the whole of Argentina as well as the Falklands and South Georgia perhaps ? maybe extending north to RAF Ascension Island so that we could have a Vulcan bomber for Black Buck missions and maybe a Sea King helicopter as well for the SAS Commando Raid that crashed in Chile. that would be epic. I have to admit. In the recent weeks since VEAO shut up shop, I downloaded DCS again and purchased Persian Gulf. Razbams harrier is on sale and I thought Id give it a go. I've actually been enjoying both modules. Harrier has a couple of sound bugs here and there but overall it has been quite entertaining. Persian gulf is a clear favourite until Razbam release The faulklands then we will see.
Razbam like Carenado is based in Latin America, but I have no idea where.
