  1. Outstanding!! Thank you for the info!! My new sound card should be here tomorrow and Saturday (Monday didn't work out) I will start my build!! Excellent news, made my day.
  2. Hello all, I am building a new PC tomorrow, and I was just wondering if I can move the Eagle/Dynamics DCS folder to one of my new hard drives and then reinstall DCS world to that folder, instead of having to re-download everything. I do not have DCS world through STEAM or it would be pretty easy as that is how STEAM works, but I was wondering if there is a way? thanks
  3. Never mind, I just used to old DOS commands to get me there and now it's updating!! thanks brother!!
  4. Hey man thanks, I wonder is PowerShell the same as the command prompt?
  5. Hey y'all, I'm pretty tight on HD space atm, this is probably a stupid question but I need to know before going forward, to install the Open beta do I need to uninstall everything 2.5.5 and just redownload everything to use the beta? OR is there a way of updating 2.5.5 TO the beta? Bottom line, I have 2.5.5 installed and rock'n, but I want the beta to mess around with the new F85 campaign. low on HD space, looking for best way, new HDD not an option right this second. thanks
  6. Cool, I have the saved games folder copied, I see the DCS folder in there so I know this is the right one, but I don't know which modules are the oldest. My first was A-10, then Flaming cliffs 2 (I have 3 now) then the P-51 Mustang. So everything after that "should" be pretty new. I'll just try to deactivate everything I am able and then uninstall the DCS world. thanks man!
  7. Hey y'all, I know this has probably been beat to death but I want to make sure this goes as easy as possible. So please bear with me. I am building a new PC tomorrow, got a new i9-9900k, anyways I have the DCS World v2.5.5 installed right now with all my modules. Do I need to reject/backup any licenses or do anything special before formatting my drives and installing it into my new system? OR, Is there anything that will make things easier that I can do ahead of time? I think the last time I re-installed DCS was back in 2017 when I did a clean windows installation. thanks for any help/advice.
  8. Very Cool, I just added that little app to my desktop. This also work with my FSX so I'm a cappy hamper! So this resets every time I shut down my PC or restart it? Actually that's kind of handy in a way, start fresh every reboot. Thanks again man!
  9. Howdy Korn thanks for the help. for the record I have CH CM 4.55 I just went through and created a profile (I think), and made sure everything was centered, I also use direct mode. I'll give it another try and see if it works now, thanks man. NOTE: I have never had to do this before and they all devices work perfectly in FSX. anyways I'm gonna go and see if this works, thanks man!! :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::EDIT IT WORKS!!! Thank you VERY much!! I owe you a tall cold brew my man!! but later, right now I'm gonna go a blow some stuff up!!! thank you thank you!!
  10. I am wondering if my controllers are supported by the DCS sims, I have the following: 1.CH Products Pro Pedals USB Flight Simulator Pedals ( 300-111 ) 2.CH Products Pro Throttle USB 3.CH Products USB Combatstick 568 with 8-Way Switch & 128 Programmable Functions I just can't seem to get anything to work properly, I set my breaks and rudder to my pedals and I get no response with my rudder and when I hit my breaks the ailerons go hard left and stay there. I set my throttle to the throttle slider but throttle won't respond at all The flight stick works.... I am just on the axis for now till I get them working, I cleared all the other controls for each axis and then set them. Do I need to/or can I download a preset profile? I'm stumped, I use this setup for FSX (thousands of hours of flight time) and all my other flight sim games (IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover and Wings of Prey) and everything works properly so I'm more than sure it's not my controllers. I also tried to download one of the tools (Clear Calibration Utility) in the sticky above to give that a try but it says "page cannot be found". I hate to bother people with this but I am truly stumped, are there any plain English easy to follow guides that I could follow or am I just screwed with my controllers? thanks for any help, and if ANY other info is needed to sort this out just let me know and I will provide it. RC
  11. Thank you sir!! I just finished downloading the last new file, perfect timing.
  12. howdy y'all, I am reinstalling everything and adding some new stuff and have a quick question. Note:I have a retail disk set of Lock On Platinum, it includes the Lock LO:MAC and FC2 that is not installed at this time. I am starting with a clean hard drive. I also have bought FC3 and several other modules and want to install everything into DCSW, I just noticed that FC3 "No longer requires LOMAC copy to be installed". Question (and just to be absolutely sure), So I am good to go by starting with DCSW and can install everything, including FC3 without LOMAC, in any order? Thanks in advance for any guidance, and sorry for the new guy question but I have been away from DCS Flight Siming for a long time and want to try to get the install done right the first time if possible. PS: Finally got a very nice CH Throttle/combat stick/peddles and am ready to give it hell!! :pilotfly: thanks again
  13. Howdy everyone!! I have a quick question, I've been away form A-10c for a year or so and I just decided to get back into it. I have the downloaded file 1.1.1.1 (4.5gb) on my hard drive, and I now see that there is a new file 1.2.4.12913_186 (1.05gb) and a patch 1.1.1.0 (1.82gb)? My question is what exactly do I need to download and install? (I have the newest DCS Game World thing downloaded last night as I'm assuming this new file needs it) thanks!!
  14. Merry Christmas y'all!! and have Safe and Happy New Year!!:pilotfly: Been werkin every day to keep things going , BUT I have got 6 days off after Christmas and I am going to spend some time with the manual I printed out!! lol:joystick:
  15. Howdy Panzer and thanks for the reply! I bought the A10c game so I am assuming I must have registered on the DCS site , I do have Lock-On/Flaming cliffs but I bought the disk(s) at Amazon so I never registered on that site. But I will make another account with my same Login and see how that works out , I wonder as i do have my game key from my original purchase (luckily I copied it and took a screen shot when I bought the game as I got no email from my purchase and cannot login to the store) I should have no problems getting the final release of the A10c Sim and/or getting it to work correct? thanks for helping an old gamer out and again sorry to be so dense , JBB EDIT::: Ok , I tried to register at the site and it says I am already registered (see attached 1) , then I logged in right there and I am able to see my purchase and then tried to access support , which gave me another login screen which said I am not registered??(see attached 2) apparently I am just not familiar with how this site works , it seems it is nearly as difficult to maneuver as the A10c game..lol :megalol: thanks for the help Panzer , as I can see my purchase now I feel a lot better so I will just keep trying to figure out how the whole site works and is tied together on my own , I think it's just different from what I am used to. for me this problem appears to be a PEBCAK..lol thanks again man , JBB
