Txs, just looked at it after seeing your post. Apparently support is really busy.. might want to take a closer look at the cash register.. that's the place where the money comes in, and that seems to be failing...

I know you are doing your best. It's just that in this day and age, I would expect an e-purchase to go through within seconds. And then having to wait days to get it resolved is just not good. It's Saturday now, so the earliest day I could expect a resolution is monday. That means a whole weekend wasted. Well wasted is a big word, but me and FC3 had plans you see... ;-). I was planning on spending time with it. Monday I'll be gone on a 7 day trip to freezing Helsinki.. so even if it's resolved monday, in my world it means that after purchasing a simple online key, I had to wait 10 days minimum before I could actually use it. And regarding the Paypal complaint, Paypal will start a line of communication with the seller. If there is no solution there, then Paypal will refund me. Paypals first action is having the seller and buyer to get to an agreement. So all is not lost. In the meantime I am levelling in War Thunder...

Sod it.. I opened up a complaint thru Paypal.

ED .. get goin or I'll get PayPal to refund me... ED Really needs to get their S**t together.. I just purchased an airplane in WarThunder.. instanteneous.. When they and ROF can do it, why not ED? I have plenty other stuff to do, so either get it solved quicly.... ( it's been over 24 hours now ) or lose my money.

Txs. /me be waiting ..;-)

Same issue here I have the same issue. No need to open another thread. I purchased FC3 this afternoon. After I completed the Paypal transaction and had already received the Paypal confirmation the DCS website showed an error 002 Transaction failed message. Under Payments I can see my A10 and BS2 serials, but not for FC3.. My ticket number: 19825 It contains the Paypal payment info and transaction number. Seems like there might be an issue with the webshop.

Ok. Thanks for clarifying the procedure. I guess it's really the best we could hope for given that DCS wasn"t originally designed to have a single front end. It also raises the question how we should go about patching. ( it's inevitable .. ) Separate patched per module? Having said all above, I really would like to see, sometimes in the future, a single install which encompasses all separate available mods/add-ons in which you can just enter your product codes to unlock said mods/add-ons. Makes it easy to patch, and even though you're not entitled to fly a certain add-on, you could still use it as an AI entity.

It's just cumbersome, Install World. then install Lomac, then FC2, Ka-50, then -V2, Then install te A10.. that's a S**tload of G's to download (again).. It's not very user friendly, when it could be easier. I bought a new pc a few months back, and wanted to get into things again. Heard about DCS world, loved the idea and just wondered how the install was going to be. My favourite option was just to be able to insert all my product codes and have the program search for my lockon dvd. ( 4 serials and a dvd check is better then having to download all that stuff again. ) Now this was just a question, and you have answered it. It's not what I would have liked to read, but it's clear. Thank you

So if I understand things correctly a dance is required to get everything up and running. Is there any chance we'll see something like Rof? Just install, enter your DCS ID and have the purchased stuff available to you? Or even a website check to confirm your licenses?

Amazon.co.uk charges 26 pounds and free delivery http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001UE7N8C

A Poll is a bit open, doesn't pin one down actually buying one. I voted yes, but would like to put my money down already. Same you can do with Amazon for example, not being actually charged until the product ships.

I want a manual, but from ED.. eagerly awaiting any info on that. So thanks for your offer, but no thanks

Hear !!

Ok, BT dongle bought and installed, Wii mote connected... so far so good. Tomorrow the IR led and switch... thumbs crossed I can get a good setup wrt the trackIR. Can anyone post a pic of the layout where the wii mote (stand) and TrackIr are visible so I can get an idea of how to setup things?

Even easier is just to by the english version, then you have the version you want as well :)

Depends on what windows version you are running, but in general it means going to the properties of your network card, select tcp-ip, and go to advanced. It usually is set up to "automatically receive IP", change that to manual input and enter your desired local ip. 192.168.11.7 in this case. Apply and that should sort it out. This is only necessary when your ip changes all the time. A lot of routers "remember" what ip they have assigned your pc, and will re-issue that ip. And to find your GLOBAL ip, the one the "outside world" can connect to, just enter http://whatismyip.com in your browser.

I have vista x64 and a 4870x2, on my rig it works just fine. I have to set it up again with the english version of BS, it worked fine on the russian one. I had to change a couple of file however. Please do a search on my name and you'll find he thread I posted in to describe how I did it.

This is a nice concept, should work pretty well. Only problem is that installing software or virtual drivers.. ( No hardware changes) already causes a problem. Would you deactivate and re-activate for every piece of software you install? I had this problem when I installed Hamachi ( which installs a virtual NIC ), and Shrubbo installed some other piece of SW and it wanted him to reactivate as well.. This is not very customer friendly.

I ran 3 gfx cards a couple of years ago.. a primary Geforce 4200, and 2 PCI cards.. all three with their own monitor. I would suggest to give it a try. You never know.. ( make backups etc.. as per usual )

I have a 22'and a 15', both running at their native resolutions. What happens is (a laymans explantion ) That you force BS to render a very large image that you stretch across 2 or 3 monitors. You set the coordinates in such a way that whatever you want displayed gets placed on the appropiate monitor. It's a bit of trial nd error. What I would suggest is to backup the two files mentioned earlier, and just try.

Wow.. Mind if I take a little offense at this? I tinker a bit with my system.. Like I mentioned, I installed hamachi which in turn installed some virtual network card. Next time it might be a 3rd HD or whatever. Not too mention a format and changing my raid setup!.. Different system, activation required! I have the game now 2 weeks.. and I am down to ONE activation already. That was the issue I raised. If it comes to it, I will go on the russian forum to find a solution. The real issue here is that while I have a legit (russian) copy, and will get the international one as well, I will most likely need the third activation already within the next 6 months. ( I expect a lot sooner ). And I have to go on the forums to find a solution to get my legit copy working. This is very very user unfriendly. I don't care if I have to insert the dvd every week or so, or have to validate my install every so often via the net. It takes just a minute, and while annoying perhaps, it's understandable. (Except when you're on a LAN meet and don't have access.. mmm could you force a validation check so you're good to go for a week or so? ). But I do care that I have to seek contact with ED via mail/forum in order to get my copy running again. If you think I am a drama queen, fine. I personally think I raised a valid issue here which I'd like to discuss and find a solution for. Let's face it, we all are into the same game. We all support ED in producing software. Some decisions regarding release methods etc were unfortunate, but that's what we have to live with. And we (grudgingly) do. But it doesn't mean that certain things can't be changed for the better. All it takes is someone within ED to say " We know that (this or that) is unfortunate, and we are looking for a long term solution". I know that I will have to do the forum thingy sooner or later, but I would like to believe that in 6 months or thereabouts someone wouldn't have to do that anymore.

Well, when I intitially used the 2704x1050 res (1680 + 1024), and I used the coordinates you propose, it stretched like I had a 3rd monitor on the left. I saw half the cockpit, and my shkval was split in two. When i added a 3rd monitor it just seemed to work. And i added a virtual 15' again so my Camera view would be centered again. So I now have 1024 + 1680 + 1024 Camera x = 1024, Shkval x= 2704 and Abris x = 3216 total width is 3728. Ok, reading your post again.. I should double my 1680.. hmm. will back up my _working_ file and try your suggestion. /edit didn't work.. but I moved my monitor down in windows ( mouse jumps up/down when moving from left right ) but I get the [FLY] button in multiplayer now. A better solution would be changing the multiplayer screen to focus on camera, that way it won't stretch over all monitors. ( Same goed for the F10 map view. )

Man I am severely ... well you can gather.. In order to get a friend online with a crappy router online in BS I installed hamachi so we could use a VPN to multiplayer with. ( That worked like a treat btw). But as soom as I cranked up the game with the new VIRTUAL device installed, it wanted me to activate again!!!! So when I have to reinstall windows in a few days, I will have te reactivate again? Or how do i recover my activation again? Can anyone help me out here?

Well seems it's not all good.. 2 drawbacks, and i am not sure whether no1 is my system or not. - Making a screenshot crashes my DCS BS. - In multiplayer the [FLY] button is not clickable as the whole screen gets stretched over all 3 ( 2 real, one invisible monitors ), and the fly button is outside (below) the right screen.. MMm any workaround there?

We are buying the copies, no worries, it's just what to do with the rubles we have left, that's the question.
