Oh my word, so we occasionally get out of early access. When we do, we break it with updates and leave it at that? Not that the camera is bugging me. Trackir selection is, I cannot help it but to feel we're on a slippery slope with it all. I own 95% of all modules and maps. Maybe 2 or 3 are " finished"and maintained. Where's all this going?

Hi I dont fly Tomcat all that often so not sure when this issue crept in but in the latest release I cannot select any commands in Jester menu using my trackir. Neither I can see Jester camera. Though both options are checked in under Special Tab. There's no selection bar visible and when moving head around nothing happens. The menu is also very large and plain, transparent compared to refined F4 menu. Is there a fix to get the trackir to work again please? Playing in 2D with no mods.

Yes, this is 100% right. Can be easily confirmed turning "GSync overlay" on. Without DL, Gsync is on all the time. The moment a DL screen is connected, Gsync goes away and horrible stutters return. Anyone figured out how to keep Gsync on with DL please? I would love to turn my screens back on. But with the butter smooth gameplay without DL screens, it is hard thing to do.

Thanks for clarification. Should be removed from the main page then. Ta

The same is for 2024 upgrade though. I bought the upgrade but no access to module, just individual planes.

Thanks for your reply. So having FC on home screen as a module as well is a bug and will be removed?

Hi I have all version of Flaming Cliffs, from Lock-on 1, including the latest upgrade to 2024 version. But I cannot select it in the game. I have access to individual planes. But once I try to click on Flaming cliffs 2 or 3 I am direct to "Buy" section. I have no mods installed or tampered with any files. Since the 2.9 updates and Flaming Cliff upgrade it is not accessible for me. Nothing to download in the manager. How can I get my FC2 and 3 activated? Thanks

Hi, I've been keeping away from forums, social media for the same reason chump here described. The drama, hate at times is not worth it. Chump puts it quite nicely here. However, I don't think most of the anxiety comes from "I want to fly my chopper now or I am done with DCS". It is sharing of information instead. My total disappointment as I believe others too comes from this lack of update, information. I'm in a similar industry, engineering industry with SW, HW development. I can't see a scenario where we would be able to keep almost total ban on updates from customers who put a down payment (pre order) on our products. Our customer calls, or wants a visit to see progress. Under what circumstances I would be refusing to reply or provide an update of our progress? That's what frustrates 60% of users here. Release couple of images, a short video, people keep quiet for another week. This, almost secretive, selective approach breaks trust. The same goes with updates around Razbam fiasco. Withholding progress updates, explanation of delays, etc.. is the only thing hurting DCS. It is not the actual reason for the delay. Every sensible professional understands the reasons. Finding updates from 3rd party or 3 days too late, not knowing where my preorder money went to is what is frustrating. Big release like this....a few screenies, Wag's video and we smile for two weeks while you fix bugs. My 2 cents anyway T

Hi NightsEye, Just want to say that I've been having exactly the same issue since Beta1 was released and it still continues throughout all betas up to Beta4. I was trying to solve it here, but people didn't want to help as you are apparently not entitled to technical support during the beta period. After a little persuasion, I received many suggestions, tried all of them, none worked. I contacted Starforce, they told me to contact ED as they have nothing to do with it. ED told me that it is probably their fault but they can't fix it and all they can offer is a refund. :( Not what I expected really. I didn't take it as I really want to try running it when the final release is out. But my hopes are minimal. I don't think there is a conflict with a software because after all unseccesful tries in Vista 64, I bought new W7 64, installed it on formatted drive with nothing else but W7 and DirectX and got the same protect.dll error. Everything else is running fine, including Black shark so it is really dissapointing. I wonder if it has something to do with SAS drives? Anyone running it on SAS drive? Tom

Mastiff, To answer your question -I'm running nVidia Quadro FX3700. I think I mentioned it in my post and am experiencing the same thing as discussed here by guys running ATI. The BACK settings set to 30000 helped a bit - now I've got cripsier texture little bit further from my plane but vast majority of textures around and further away (and mountains) are still blurry and coarse.

Hi guys, Moving from other post and adding my issue here too. I've got the same thing (well not as bad as deadsmell but still bad as you can see on screenshots) and I'm running nVidia and Vista64. Tried 3 different drivers, reinstalled, tweaked graphics.cfg as suggested by A.S but still nothing. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=51555&page=2 Hopefully someone will sort it out. Cheers fellas

Thanks Frazer for the reply but my settings are exactly the same. I tried the suggestions in the link sent by A.S but only a small change could be seen. The HIGH quality texture is little bit further away from my plane but vast majority of the textures are very coarse and blurry as before. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Thanks guys

I actually decided to upload a couple of screenshots as I couldn't find any solution to this problem. First one shows how coarse is the texture in the background and the second shows that directly below the plane the texture is actually normal. How can I refine the coarse, blurry texture? Screenshots were taken from default, clean install - settings set to HIGH, no Mods or other tweaks were installed or performed. I'm running it full screen, 1920x1080, nVidia FX3700 with latest drivers. BTW. Thanks ED for all the hard work. BS is just phenomenal. And I'm sure A10 will be even better.

That's clear as shamandgg. But I haven't changed the adv haze. Everything is set to default from clean install, my settings high and the textuer looks exactly as the one published by =SE=Vecko.

You were lucky =SE=Vecko. I tried your solution and no change. Still have the blurry, coarse textures. I've got everything on HIGH, didn't change any LUA files (confirmed that ADV Haze is on, LOD is default 50 000), didn't install any MODs. DCS BS works fine. I'm using latest nVidia drivers. I wonder what is causing it. But a solution would be nice. ;)

Thank you Dmitry, adding the line to autoexec.cfg file solved the problem. Tom

I'm experiencing the same thing. Spent all day trying to sort it out but no luck. I tried different drivers, updating Alchemy, no difference. All other titles, including FC, Black shark work fine. Interesting thing is though that if you open the sound mixer you can see FC2 application there while in title menu, as soon as you start a mission it dissapears and you can't hear a thing. I've got X-fi extreme with latest drivers for audio and Alchemy. Would be great and much appreciated if someone sheds some light into this problem. Thanks Tom
