How powerful does a pc needs to be for server? If I decide to build a server for DCS what would be the minimum processor and amount of RAM needed for excellent performance? What is the recommended system specs? I am talking about less than 10 players and more likely just 4. I currently run my server on the same pc that I fly on. Needs Win 10 Home or Pro? Thanks :thumbup:

Ok, I have 32BG RAM but added a Custom Page File of 32768MB and will see if it helps any. But back to the original issue, each of us 3 players had our own DCS crash when we released a MK84 bomb but every other weapon works fine. As soon as we push the release button, instant crash to desktop. So if the guy in Houston tries to drop the MK84, his DCS crashes. If the guy in Florida tries to drop the MK84, his DCS crashes. If I try it (I am running the server), my DCS crashes and of course we all lose the game but the other guys do not crash their DCS game. Thanks

But why did it work prior to the last update? And how else can I fly and serve? Build another pc and buy the licenses for all the planes we fly? It has worked fine up until the last update.

Since the last update to the stable version my little group has discovered a new bug. I run a small server with 2 other pilots and we all fly the F/A 18's and one of the guys was using the MK84 and every time he released the bomb his game crashed to the desktop. He thought it was just something with his pc or connection. So I tried it and it crashed to the desktop and also shut the server down. Then the 3rd guy tried it and upon release of the MK84 he crashed to the desktop too. Can anybody else duplicate this?? Thanks

MK84 release from Hornet causes crash to desktop Since the last update to the stable version my little group has discovered a new bug.

After the update today when any of the 3 players on my server drop a MK84 bomb it instantly crashed to desktop. If I drop it it crashes to desktop and takes the server with it. We are all flying the Hornet.

I just got a Password Change Request in my email about 20 minutes ago but I did not request one. Am I to assume someone is trying to hack my account and if so, what to do? The request looks real like it was sent from DCS. Thanks

That is absolutely awesome. :thumbup: I plan on checking out the Occulus Rift along with the 2 other guys I fly with. Aren't they about $400 now and come with the little hand held clickers (forget the name of those)? Any version number of the Occulus or just the current one that they are selling is the best one?

I ran across that yesterday when I was searching the net. Also found some printable plastic ones too. I just need to finish setting up my printer. :thumbup:

Yes, that is exactly what I do to get it to display.

Thank you. Makes perfect sense now but I didn't think weapons not loaded onto the aircraft would show up in the stores or on the HUD.

When I cycle through my weapons, gun, AIM9, and AIM7 there is a forth position that shows "AB 0" on the HUD. What does this stand for? Thanks

I just got a new TM Warthog and set it up to match Chucks Guides page 7. Then on page 8 the guide shows another way to set it up that is supposed to better match the real F/A-18 control stick. So which way do most people set it up? I know that TM is coming out with a new F?A-18 joystick but it is not available yet. Thanks edit: I think the page 8 version just matches the HOTAS you have and page 7 is for the Warthog. :music_whistling:

Thanks guys. I am going to move the stop where it is needed based on the jet I am flying. I am going to check that "push thru mod" out though. Thanks

Good point.:thumbup: I didn't think of that because I haven't flown the A-10 much and am setting up for the FA/18. Thanks

I am going to try my new Warthog later today and wanted to know if there are any pros or cons to enabling the detent for the afterburner. Somewhere I read something about a ruber part wearing out but I think that was for the resistance of the throttle levers themselves. Just curious how many people leave it stock (unused) as opposed to on (detent enabled). I had been using the X52 Pro and that had an afterburner detent and although I kind of liked it, I am not sure that it is necessary. Does the real Warthog in the real aircraft have the detent??

Try Display Fusion. I don't know if the FREE Version as I own the Pro but it is an excellent utility and you can install it on more than one computer. https://www.displayfusion.com/

Yes, I definitely am the kind of guy that needs to know how to work the script editor. :joystick:

ReflexArc, I will check out your script once we get up and running with the new stick. I will want to become familiar with TARGET though first. Any youtube videos on the TARGET software? Thanks

Thanks for the informative and quick response. :thumbup: Dave

My new Warthog should be here next week and was wondering what is the best way to install it? Do I remove my old X52 pro bindings and if so how? Does DCS have a quick way to get the WH set up or should I run the TARGET software? Thanks in advance, Dave

Yep, that is the place I bought the last tube from on ebay but they contacted me and said they were out of stock with no ETA.

At Ease Everybody (who was trying to help me). :megalol: After researching all of my options yet again, I ended up back at the place where I found the best deal and it seems they read this post above because now they will ship to the USA. Here is the link in case anybody else wants to buy a large 100 gram tube. https://shop.newgatesimms.com/product/nyogel-767a/ But wait before you buy in case they actually do not ship to the USA and cancel my order. When I ordered, USA was listed in the drop-down list for countries (before it was not), but in the About section on their website they say they do not ship Nyogel to North America. Crossing my fingers that they won't cancel the order.

I was wondering if someone in the Canada could do me a favor and order some Nyogel 767A from a distributor in the UK, and then reship it to me in the US? Of course I will Paypal the $$ after we agree on the total. I found the Nyogel less expensive over there and was going to purchase some online and they do not ship to the US. And I just bought a tube off of ebay yesterday and got a message from the seller he was out of stock and no ETA for more. PM me if you think you can help. Thanks
