Ripcord

To be clear on this, as I have never flown/played MP, let me ask this -- If I fly a mission in SP, I can fly with an AI wingman in my same flight. Tusk 1-1 and Tusk 1-2, etc. If I fly that same mission in MP, then no AI wingman. I am just Tusk 1-1 (PLAYER FLIGHT). The wingman must be in a separate flight entirely, with it's own waypoints, etc.... eg Tusk 2-1 (CLIENT FLIGHT). I think I am clear on that so far (somebody correct me if I am wrong here). So now, what if: (1) The client flight is the other side, say the Red side? Can I then have the A-10C (PLAYER FLIGHT) with an AI wingman? (2) The client flight is another aircraft type on the Blue side? Can I have in this case the A-10C (PLAYER FLIGHT) with an AI wingman? (3) The only clients in an MP game are controlling ground units or acting as Battlefield/Ground Commander? Am I good here having the PLAYER FLIGHT with an AI wingman? Thanks guys for our patience and your guidance.

OK I have done this with a map template that I was working on. Added the Aussies in as a member of Blue Coalition. The question now this -- is having completed my edits, how do I again turn it into a MIZ file?

Indeed, that in game Module Manager is a very good thing.

Ah OK, I am a bit slow perhaps. Please use module manager to install. I see that now in game. Wow, it found all 5 modules that I own. Impressed. Can this be actually easy?

The message I get is: please download 1.2.6.18933 installer Which I am unable to locate. Am I just that stupid and I am missing something obvious?

1.2.6.18933 is the current version of DCS World that I have installed as of right now. Just updated it a few hours ago. The most current version of CA and A10C and pretty much everything else is 1.2.6.18651.276-275. DCS, let's go fellas. I just spent all freaking night downloading all this stuff anew and now it won't load. In the meantime, any suggestions?

Trying to go thru the whole process of reinstalling this thing with all the modules. Got DCS World installed today, and immediately it went ahead and updated to the most current version. That seemed like the right thing to do. Well now my version of DSC World is newer than the new versions of CA & BS3 and FC3 and A10C and all that stuff that is currently available on the download page -- and so it will does not install. Says I have to go get the NEW version of CA or A10C or whatever the case may be, except it IS the new version that I already have. It would seem to me that DCS download page is not keeping up with it the auto-updater. The only thing I can think of is to find some way to roll the DCS World back one release, but I hate to have to do that -- seems like more trouble then it is worth. This stuff should work, for crap sake.

ENO thanks for your help, in any case. Appreciate it.

I found a thread somewhere in which EtherealN suggested to somebody that they should visit this link. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/myserials.php I did that and sure enough it showed up. Gotta think that this will be happening to a lot of other folks, particularly those that bought the beta a couple years back - probably should be a sticky.

Anyway, in this thread, I see that there was some merging that took place. This guy has the same issue. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=68146 Except I am unable to log in under Username1. However when I request a password reset for my email address, I get two auto-generated emails, one for my current username that I am using and another one, my first & last name put together. Except I am unable to log in to that other account, it automatically sends me to my current log-in. Maybe something was merged?

Oh damn, I was wrong, I did not copy over my old windows folder. Geez. Thanks anyway Eno.

The oldest of the 4 orders that does show up in my account is CA, which I ordered in July 2012. I had A-10C beta waaaaaay before that. So I am wondering if they did something with their website or accounts or something since moving to the DCS World format. I think I read something about them merging accounts or something to that effect, but didn't get what it was they were merging. Hopefully somebody there is keeping records of the Beta customer sales history.

No longer alive. Using my old c: drive as a paperweight. I did, however, copy the entire contents of my whole c: drive over onto safe place as a backup. User files, document folders, Windows and everything. But really do not if the registry files were copied along with it, and if so, where to find them.

That's my problem -- I don't have my key for my A10C, since I had it so long (since Beta came out). And I cannot locate it on my order history page.

I would open a ticket but the last time I did that it took 4 months to get a response.

I did save all my Users\NAME\Saved Games\DCS Warthog folders. If I copy all that over, will it help?

I had purchased A-10C way back during the Beta days. Got all the old setup files and patch files and all that. Then DCS world came out and I added CA and BS2 and Lockon3 and all that. Everything seemed to be fine. Now I have a new computer. Totally new registry, everything. I got back into my account at DCS and I don't see A-10C. I see Combined Arms, BS2 and all that, but no A-10C. Wondering now what to do.

I remember being a young sailor on watch, reading Red Storm Rising right when it first came out. It was almost like required reading in those days.

How to deal with tanks? lease them until the warranty period expires, then return them and get newer model units.

FSX is great for what it does. Not like you are going to get into your Yak-40 and fly regional airline routes from Tbilisi to, er... Batumi? Sochi? Min Vody? Nowhere else to fly really. And no need to disparage VRS for what they have done - no they haven't created a whole new sim out of it, just because there is no good tool to place opfor or other threats/objects to go against. I love it, but yet I really never fly it. Kinda hard to explain -- except to say that it is just not done. Gawd I wish we could merge FSX and DCS. My wife would never see me again.

Wild Bill, PM me. I got them.

Yes this works beautifully, I just did exactly that. I had a 1TB HD as my C: drive and ran ED DCS from there, same as Win 7. Took it out put in a 500GB SSD and copied over the whole drive (imaging). Computer ran perfect right off when I restarted.

Just make them move very very slow, set them to 1 knot. Doubtful they would come to a full stop anyway, less in port.

Just use triggers and award points as condition of each trigger event.

Let me answer this question another way It is more than 1 game it is 2 or 3 games in one. You can MP online, and there is plenty of content around to get a good understanding of what that is all about. You can enjoy this playing single player as well, but you need good mission content for that (also available). Lastly, it is enjoyable for me just playing tank commander as the ground forces manager. If I am not in the mood to fly a simulation in first person, either as a ground forces driver or a pilot, I sometimes enjoy playing armchair general and just deploying my forces. It reminds me a little bit of playing Fleet Command, in that regard. You might not be that much into this kind of thing, or maybe if you are like me you can enjoy it from time to time, but it is, in my view, an added bonus that is fun, as a diversion.
