I dont know it well enough yet to sell it to you but it would give you an even number of icons in your sig. Otherwise, I wouldnt be too interested in it for single player. I do like the possibilities for MP with someone doing jtac etc via TS. I do like that someone can take control of ground forces when your teams AI is useless and can help in some scenarios. I see it as a bloody good tool for MP but not sure if I would be the person wanting to take on that role.

Well I'll be... Thanks for that. Even following your instructions it took me a while because I was in the 'list view'. That area only appears in the 'details view' Thanks!

I searched so I hope this has not been asked many, many times. As it's on sale I decided to get another copy to run as a server on another machine. Easy, bought but I dont see my key. Do I have to download the whole thing from steam so I get the little overlay when I run it telling me what the key is? I dont want that, I just want the key...? Anyone know? I have beeen through properties etc for the game and not found a reference to it. It wasnt in the purchase email either. Any help appreciated!

The knobs look good Deadman!

Stephen, there isnt a tab for it as far as I am aware. If you go to the mission editor you should see the extra icon described in the manual. Other thing to do is load a mission from the CA missions and go in to the map view and see if you can take over a vehicle. Check the manual for the new map icons.

I would guess that if you are trying to attract people who have no inclination to learn the aircraft that the game would be a bit dull for them anyway and they would prefer the BF3 arena? For those guys playing on a dcs server would be like hopping in a BF server with only a couple people in it, soon enough you look for a different server.

I get far more fun now on 5 monitors in my aircraft than I will running on one display so I can drive tanks :) I will do it when it's ready but not prepared to give up the goodness I already have to do it :)

Diveplane, if it wont work with your screen setup it wont work. I would like to be in the fun for sure but it wont work.

Yep, its the only thing I know of that cant be fixed. Too bad as my awesome configuration would be in CA that I can bring up the map on my helios screen while hiding helios and keeping my in cockpit view on the main screen. That would make me happy!

yes, it looks more like the blocks that are obvious on ground units before you get close to them.

I think my FPS are the same after playing for a while longer, they still drop a lot when on the ground in some airports but I run extreme res and it's going really well. I have not flown the shark since the a10 came out but now it's all integrated I can see myself flying it a bit more for a bit of a mixup. Had fun with it last night with a few of us.

All Dimebugs measurements are in inches. Beware, he uses a default scale of 25.4:1

yes, you are right, I now recall he said we would be able to use our upgrade in final as we were not able to use it in beta. We can do that now, just an extra hoop to get there :)

You are thinking of embarking on a simulator project thats going to cost over $50k and you want discounted software? You are making me think your other thread is a joke.

I am using uTorrent. Where you download the files from the main site there is a small torrent file at the bottom, download that and use it in your torrent software.

Yes, you need the new dcs world. If you get the torrent that should give you a working version corruption free. You need to have bs1 installed and activated. If you did it in the past then you are ready. If you already have BS2 installed then I think things are even better for you. Just install DCS world and then install the modules. It will only ask you for keys for things not already loaded in the stand alone version As far as CA, install it. There are a few missions that come with it, otherwise from my breif look it gives you extra fucntioanlity from the mission editor that allows you to use the map view to control and take over ai units.

I thought I had read that Wags said this would be rectified past the beta. We are now past the beta. Perhaps I read it incorrectly. One thing is that DCS World clearly states that it and the modules must be all purchased by the same account name. This obviously means that they are doing some check and it cant be a stretch to think that they could see the bs1 key on my account as they check the bs2 key. Which every way its done, I have just got everything going on a fairly new install of windows. While my graphics drivers are working and everything is set up I will _run_ to clone my drive :)

Just playing it. It takes more than a day, you just have to play the sim and use the buttons in the course of your actions. It will come :) Just have the printout handy in the meantime.

I dont have a keyboard handy in my pit so I hope it's just part of the first beta release.

damn server timed out and lost my post. Long and short of it is on the picture. I dont think this can be fixed like the overlay that was used with the NVG. I have the same bino issue as well. ED are so close, they are doing the right things to support multiple monitors with different viewports etc but they are just not finishing it with multimonitor users in mind.

I think my fps are up, hard to tell as I ran framerate limited. When I turn on HDR my frames drop a lot and it's a bit jerky. Without that its smooth as heck on a quick mission, maybe 50+fps with 5 monitors on a 7900x1560 resolution.

If I was Mike and valued my IP there wouldnt be a PDF distributed of it. I would guess thats why he never had one. With a small specialised thing like that a sale of a PDF could mean the end of a lot of sales.

I am still getting things working is dcs world. Has anyone tried this yet? With the rearrange of some directory structures and addition of combined arms I was wondering if the radio structure had changed enough to give us problems?

Fred, he means that he is just using more simple joystick interface cards for inputs like switches and for outputs like driving his 7 segment displays like radio freqs etc he uses the open cockpit hardware which supports wiring of the displays and takes care of making sure that they have the correct values on them when you ask them to.

OK, so I got it all up and going and reconfigured my exported views for helios. All is as it was before. I then tried jumping in to a tank and noticed that like the map it is not bound to the center viewport. That kind of makes it a little less than easy as my virtual screen is quite large and I am missing a lot. Have I mucked this up myself or is it current state?
