I have done that, every thing i bought checks out. It's the steam bought ones that had problems. My A-10C steam bought one is installed now. However, the steam bought UH-1 does not show up, if i do a license check with the UH-1, it checks out but it doesn't have the bind option. When I install UH-1, it installs, it activates, then when i open up world, it tells me that my Uh-1 is invalid. Now that is where I am confused. I don't know why it activates upon installation if when i log in, it treats my key as invalid. Almost like the on line keys are not synced with the World log in. I have installed everything except for the steam bought uh-1. Thanks!

Hey guys, Wondering if you can help me. I just installed World 1.5 and i run into problems installing the modules. Here's how it went. Upon opening a fresh install of World, you log in and you click on the modules and it automatically informs you of the modules you have bought, it only had su-25 and blackshark update. So I installed the su-25. Now I checked my online account, inside orders, i have combined arms listed as "bought" (of course, i bought that already) but it's not doesn't show on whenever i open up world. So i checked online and found that I have to manually update CA using install_CA_.bat then it installs and activated perfectly. Now I recovered my steam keys for A-10C and Huey modules, which steam issued me a new key (i save all my keys on notepad). Then I use install A-10C using install_A10C.bat it downloads like normal, installs perfectly, then it fires up world and asks me to activate, then it actually activates, BUT, upon opening, world tells me now that my CA installation is invalid. Image attached here. Now I am confused why that is happening. Now even if I uninstall A-10C, it still tells me that my CA is invalid. It's almost like the online account are not talking to each other even if on my "orders" serction it tells me that everything is valid. Hope you can help me out. I already made a support ticket but after a few replies, I haven't had any reply since last night. Could be busy. Thanks!

I did what you told everything woks fine now..I am able to turn all AA settings on and heat blur.. another question, how do I turn on HDR? there's no option of 'ON' in the drop down..also is it normal that there is no 'high' settings option in the scene and texture? just medium? or does BS2 take into account your hardware and customizes the menu buttons. thanks!

:helpsmilie:I just installed BS 2 and it keeps on crashing only when I set 'scenes' to medium..I can set everything medium except for the scenes..my trees are set at 1500m..water & shadow is low, no heat blur, no HDR. my system is: Win7 home premium 32bit 3.1Ghz 550 BE 4Gb ram ATI4850 is it a hardware limitation?

So I can still patch BS1 to latest and it won't affect BS2?..cause I had to reinstall BS1 from zero. thanks for the quick response.

As from the title, I just bought & installed BS2 from a unpatched BS1. Is it possible to run both BS1 (will be patched to latest) & BS2 on the same machine? Thanks!

Su-30's and F-18's have NEVER in a real combat situation..until that time (hope never comes). We will never know the answer.

Yes, but the ONLY way to prove who wins..is when these Two Meet in real Life..Until then We can never say who wins..there's just too many variables. Again we need historical facts..in a war situation anything can happen..lack of respect on enemy capabilities will definitely get you killed.

What You guys should research is if the F-18 and Su-30 has been in a real life combat to death (not combat exercises)..that's the only way to know who wins..historical facts not technological capabilities.. I remember in military channel top-10 fighters, P-51 mustang was number 1!..and the F/A 22 was number 10..you would expect it was number one because of high technology..but of course P-51 has a Historical Kill Record..

SU30 vs Super Hornet? for me, no matter how advanced or how outdated the aircraft technology is..if there's no recorded real life duel (real fight to death between the two) there's no way we can safely assert who wins.. let's hope there won't be any.

Man, i've been collecting videos from youtube..downloading them using a software called getit..you link it with your firefox..then you can download everything you want with just a mouse over..the good thing is the youtube videos are resumable..so i just leave it.. Im sure many of you know it already. But this is a nice find..im wondering why i haven't searched A-10 yet..I have downloaded so many documentaries from Hinds to F-16s to Su-25..they're al in youtube and google videos.

But on topic..inside the SIM that we have.. ..what i do is i use the Hunter-Killer Platoon..for every 3 M1A2s i add 1 bradley..everytime I test them, like two platoons..in excellent mode..they win against the same number of 3-T-72s and 1 BMP-3..at least a few tries.

Anyone has an idea how much will the TM HOTAS be?

nevermind..my mistake..i hid the airfields at map options..

I just patched DCS blackshark last night with no problems.. When I played around with the mission editor..I found out that the Russian FARP icons are gone..Although if you load the game, FARP is still there and you can take off from it..It's only invisible at the ME. Haven't tried other countries cause I only fly as russia. I tried loading other missions and yes it's still not there.. What do you guys think is wrong here?

yup, found a few days ago..searching for map overlay stuff..It also helps us visualize..what i do is printscreen the maps then edit it there. for the moderators: i don't know how to change the spelling..I missed an "R"..hehe

Well, recon first at maximum range..don't send the wingy. You do it..try to recon by sector..IRL NATO, they use TRPs target reference points..example a church is TRP-1..the oil fields at Tkvarcheli could be TRP-2.. TRPs are divided in quadrants....like "an avenger NE of the oilfields" or "a stinger at the hilltop" ..this will help you recon in sections and scan the whole area.. the idea with max range is that it is "quite safe" ..you can check the map F10 if it's enabled then draw a line with the ruler and imagine a circle with a 10km radius..look for terrain cover at max range or other avenues of approach (other than what i use Gupagu)..if a SAM is lauched, then you can still evade it (when you see the trail or when your wingy alerts you)..I don't normally send the wingy untill i've done recon work myself.. Scan the whole town in sectors and spend time just doing recon work..don't worry about combat gas..FARP is near anyway..take your time..and slowly you'll gain familiarization of the terrain and town..then you engage.. Man I played that mission so many times..I got shot down a lot..it's where I learned to be patient..and maximize the ka-50s capabilities.

that's wierd..when i played "clear tkvarcheli" i never encountered the sam hawk..although I had visual on it, it was always not operational (not sure if it was error or something or i never got the random thingy) but I've played it a couple of times..like more than 10..there was always no hawk system operational. What I do here is I recon first at maximum range around 10km..I always approach from the town Gupagu (~7.5km)..I stay really low and use the hills east of it to do recon firstwatching my altitude and distance from the town closely..then slowly move closer and engaging targets of opportunity.. For the Wingman, I always use trail formation..I just found out he can't do NOE and trail formation is like the lowest he can go compared to other formations when Im trying to keep him alive.. A good knowledge with datalink engage from ingress point is also good for the AI wingy..what i do is send him to ingress point to engage targets then I sync the my vihkrs to his when engaging multiple targets..it's fun to see it..also you get to cover him.. hope this helps!

I stumbled upon this software that is good for creating tactical maps.. Overlay Maker (it's free now) http://www.theoverlaymaker.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1 It's not as complete but, it's not so complex like Milsketch. Enjoy.

Hi! I've been experimenting/learning the DCS Blackshark and FC2 mission editors.. I just thought if it is possible (game engine permitting) to have a mod where you can trigger events via the "\" radio button.. example scenario: You're doing on an overwatch or something then you hit the radio button ("\" same way when you contact tower or command wingmen) then there will be a comman so you call for an artillery strike (maybe even simulate radio-ing GPS coordinates). Instead of just activating triggers by going inside it or maybe timed stuff. I just thought it'll be better that way. thanks!

Man..it's really happening..Im so excited!

The World will not end in 2012..I assure you Hehe.

yah..We are all patient and should be patient and enjoy what we have right now..But I am really excited for the fact that it is possible. Right Now, Im kind of like studying all of them.. Some weeks Im on FSX studying Airline procedures, Nav Routes, STARS SIDs and flight plans then other weeks Im on DCS studying the ABRIS and Datalink..and there will be weeks where Im on an Su-25 and 25t..and weeks on ARMA2..it's been all but fun.

I don't know exactly where to put this in the forums.. But I've been thinking/dreaming of about the future of what we've been enjoying these years. Since it is free to dream I just want to share it. DCS blackshark series + Lockon series + Arma series + In HD + In Digital Audio + In 3D + trackIR + Triplehead2go+ Joystic, Rudder Pedals And HoTAS (forcefeedback) + Multi Core Super Ghz PC + Super fast Video card and high RAM + Super Fast Internet What is my point? Imagine Doing ground troop operations (Arma stuff) while having Close Air Support with a DCS series AH-64 or A10 or Su-25T online in 3d!! MS-FSX has all the map of the world too..so we can add it. It is just exciting!!..the fact that it is all possible and within our reach.

hi! ..although i won't be able to buy it from you (even if i want to support you) thank you so much for this.. Just one question..large scale printing is not that expensive here in the Philippines because there's so many of them here..In What dimension should I tell the printer guy for this? Im not sure if you have posted it though. thanks!
