Oh yes! Would be awesome, like many others here, built a model one many years ago.

Thanks Werewolf Great series, very informative

Art-J You are a star! thankyou! I followed your advice above and my cockpit gages are now readable. I would have tried reinstalling the module sooner, but I did not understand that the deactivate/re activate thing would not lose me activations. Thanks for all the good advice.

Thanks Art-J Tried your suggestion, so now I am on Nvidia 368.81 Sorry to say, I still have the unreadable gauges! Very frustrating! Has anyone else installed the Border campaign? It can't be just be me? The gauge problem only appeared after the last patch and the border campaign install, nothing else changed! I am really not keen on a complete clean install, aside from losing some activations, there is all the setting up of control profiles for every module! I have done the whole clean install in the part, but is a royal PITA! DEVS?? Surely this issue points to a specific file or setting that can be fixed?

Yes I tried reducing it. I normally have it set 1024 every frame. But the thing is, I ran the taxi/take-off tutorial fine a couple of times. Then the latest update installed. Next time I try the tutorial, the gauges are unreadable, I noticed straight away, because it is now very difficult to set the trim as instructed. The only thing that had happened was that the update installed, and (possibly the Border campaign for MI-8 installed) I am not someone who spends time tinkering with the settings, once I am happy I prefer to be flying!

No language selection for Spitfire, but the Mig 15 you can choose Russian or Chinese. Also Mi-8 I have selected a cockpit with English instrumentation. So I am the only person to suffer the unreadable gauges.... Any idea what file this could be related to? I am starting to think that maybe the Mi-8 campaign overwrote something when it installed.

Razo-R No Mods...... unless you class the optional cockpit langauges that can be selected in the options menu as mods?

Thanks Schwarzfeld He does not use mods and he has not been messing with things in any of the DCS folders. The update is the only thing that has changed, although He did install the new Mi-8 campaign a couple of days ago. Is it possible the campaign has changed something that affects the gauge display?

Thanks Art-J Tried that, no difference, gauges are still unreadable. It definitely happened after the last auto update, something changed but what?

Hi After patch to 1.5.5.60565 the marking and needles on some of the gauges have become very faint. The trim indicator in particular is unreadable. I have attached a screenshot. I am running Windows10 and the latest drivers on a Nvidia GTX 780

+1 It is impressive that we are getting environment reflections! Moch too strong though. I hope they tone it down.

Andqui: Yes last lime I did it in 1.5 It sounds like you may be flying too far and landing at the FARP Lenigoria? The farmhouse where you should land is a few km south of the FARP. You should see it as you turn north to follow the river after the long Easterly flight from your first drop off.

Keep trying, it is worth the effort. I too was stuck on mission one for ages. After the upgrade to 1.5 I had to start again, and have had no problems so far. Make sure you are landing close enough to the farmstead. I have landed to the South (1.5) and the North (1.2) and got the trigger both times. Are you sure you are close enough? Collective to zero?

Good advice from all many thanks! I finally made it through the first mission. I can see now that I had been seriously underestimating the distances between waypoints. I blew my first attempt, I was so excited to find the farmstead, that I VRSed straight in! Luckily the soft river bank reduced the impact, so we were able to walk away from the wreckage :) I have started to use the doppler navigation system now. The distance function really helps me to keep track of where I am and where to turn for next waypoint

Ah Hah! That all makes sense to me. I was sure I was meant to land at Gromi, but I have clearly misunderstood. I will give it a go in a bit. Thanks for all the helpful replies people

Hi I did post in another thread a while back and I have searched for a solution, but no luck anywhere...... Surely someone else has had this problem? Despite all efforts and multiple attempts (15+) I can not complete mission one! I follow the copilots directions exactly, and he continues to prompt me as far as the second FARP (Gromi?) where he comments about there being a small garrison, but then no further instruction? Land at Gromi, no documents delivered; Fly north for the next outpost, no directions, nothing.... What is going on? I have heard such good things about the campaign, but I can't progress. Anyone have any ideas?

I have same problem as oresteia, no script actions after the first landing. I have landed at the second and third posts and followed flight plan, but nothing happens and there are no deliveries. Any ideas, or is this something that could be fixed in later?

Yum Yum DCS Mi-8MTV2 Magnificent Eight Please Please

Excellent! As someone else mentioned, the SU-25T Flight director is behaving much better now. But best of all is the awsome sound the SU-25T airbrakes make as they deploy. (I have the KA50 and P-51 mods installed, but something about the quick dive in and hit something appeal of the SU-25T mod keeps me coming back again and again!) Nice one ED

Yeah, was trying to avoid another 1gig download but you could be right. I'll give it a go Thanks

When I try to patch BS to 1.0.2 I get the error shown in the attached JPG. I have tried clean install, default location, no UAC, run as Admin, no joy get the same error every time: THE VERSION OF THIS FILE IS NOT COMPATABLE WITH THE VERSION OF WINDOWS YOU ARE RUNNING Any ideas?

Invisible cockpit solved Many thanks Herig2 That was exactly the problem, so all sorted! Thanks again for your assistance

This is wierd. Just upgraded my graphics card to ATI 5870. New install on new OS. When i start to fly I can see instruments but Aircraft structure is missing! If I look back I can see wing tips (SU25) Tried BS and this has a simular problem I am sure I have heard of this before, but I cant recall where. Any Ideas? i7 930 6gig triple channel 1600 Saphire VX 5870 1gig
