Aurora with all the top options! Expensive so saving a must!! Thanks guys, internal SSD it is then. Just need to take sides of computer and see if it has the slots an plugs

Hi Folks. I noticed today when I loaded up that it took almost eight minutes from pressing "Run as administrator" to "Fly". DCS is on a traditional hard drive. If I put an SSD in my computer and load DCS into that will it make the load time and general access time faster? If so, would an external drive be as good as an internal? Just looking for ways to improve ,my computer until I can save for the Alien I have my eye on. TIA. Lee

Thanks

Hi Folks. I may be a bit of a thicky, but I'm totally at a loss at the need for a Chinese asset pack. This is where the Mr Thicky bit comes in. Have I missed something? Is there a modern scenario I have missed where I can have a battle with modern Chinese forces? I've looked through the products section time and again and can't see anything. Please someone enlighten me even if just to reassure myself I'm not cracking up. Thanks all.

It was designed as a bomber.

All sorted now.

Thanks all for thr replies. Thanks Rforce, that's sorted it.

Sorry, Rudel. I should have said the A10 II Tank Killer version. I found this one and its for the old A10c. Thanks Rgds Lee

Can anyone help me please? I have accidentally deleted my single player version of Piercing Fury when I downloadedw what I thought was the latest version. However, its a co-op campaign and I can't find a single player one on the DCS site at all now. Can anyone please point me in the right direction to be able to download the latest single player? Or maybe mail me one? Thanks and regards Lee

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go. However, can't get it to go now at all since uploading the latest one. I now get an extra menu on "fly" that asks me to choose which position to fly in and then the other three aeroplanes disappear. Well, it does work but only as a single ship and won't let me past the first mission.

Thanks very much for the reply. I notice that I'm using a version older than the current one on the DCS site. Have the fixes been incorporated into the newer one or will I need to apply them when I install it please? Thanks and regards Lee

Can't get started in this one. IFE declared and ATC stops all movements. Looking at the F10 map, the C130 turns around and lands safely at Kokhli and doesn't come near Kutasai. Looking at the mission planner with all the events on, I get the idea it's supposed to crash short of runway. Nothing happens and I'm stuck going nowhere and out of options. I can manoever round the emergency vehicles and take off but the rest of my flight can't and even when I get a/b none of the other triggers happen and so I'm stuck stooging around awaiting orders etc that never happen. Please could you advise me if I'm doing something wrong or is there a fix for this. thanks and regards Lee Please can you advise?

Restarted the campaign and it worked perfectly so probably the prog just got in a tiz .

It was me got rubbish at A10 after flying F18 for a while.

Always been SAMs around, even in the original. Maybe you didn't fly ino the SAM's envelope before. You can load up the TGP, chaff and flares and a couple of MAVs before you leave and take them out then continue with the mission. I started the campaign again today and forgot the MAVs so took the launchers out with the gun at extreme range. Saw the trail, jinked to force it to overshoot and incidentally get out of the smoke obscuring the launch vehicle and a quick BRRRRT. I learned on the range yesterday that if you can see the target and can put the pipper on it you can kill it from a long way off.

The aircraft system knows the elevation of the ground where it is. If the nose is above the horizon, it knows that also and will not generate a reticle because it has no ground data to do so. As has been suggested, you need to point it at the ground in order for the system to "know" where to put the dot.

Is it just me got rubbish. or are the enemy better in 2.7? I can't complete a mission without holes in my A10. Last night I crept round a hill into a hail of 23mm from a Shilka I hadn't seen (obviously it was hidden by the hill). But it's happening more often than it used to. MAnaged to get back to base for a wheels up on the grass because all the tyres had been shot out.

Thanks Taz, I'll check that. I do get a message saying that I've completed the mission and I can either RTB or search for targets of opportunity.

Hi Guys, I'm doing Georgian Hammer in 2.7 for the A10cII. I can't seem to progress. I get through missions and "End Mission" and it goes onto the next mission which I complete with "End Mission" again. I can do this a couple of times and then it goes back to the mission where I have to escort Maple and Pine to Dakota and Nevada, two or three missions back. Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug? Thanks Streaky

Hi folks. I flew a mission in the A10c II and Georgian Hammer campaign. I'd completed the mission and had been told I could either RTB or stay up and look for targets of opportunity. I thought I'd go and check out a FARP that wasn't too far away and this took me directly over an airfield. As I got closer I noticed a MiG 29 lining up to take off and surely enough afterburners lit and off he shot down the runway, rotated, gear up and started a left climbing turn. Well, I couldn't pass up on this could I? Selected A-A, Sidewinder, did some pretty spiffy, agressive manoevering and... tone...Tone....TOne... TONE......shoot. Perfect shot, big bang, smoke, flame etc followed by a black bundle exiting aeroplane on top of a rocket flame and then by a deployed parachute. YAAAY me, first fighter A-A in the Hog. After landing go to end mission as usual and the darn thing froze. Wouldn't let me end mission, only cancel and lose all details. Now, that was MY kill, I feel I deserve it after all that mud moving and I feel robbed, yes, ROBBED by the prog not letting me end mission as normal. Can anyone please tell me how I can edit the logbook lua file so my A-A kill shows please? TIA "Streaky".

I had the same problem to start with. I fixed it by doing a quick left jink straight after take off to get out of his way. Turn about 30 degrees for a few seconds then back on to departure heading. I also find if I climb fairly quickly for a few seconds he goes by underneath. Rgds Lee

Ok thanks. I know it was built in the local computer shop and has a Gigabyte Technology Z68XP-UD3P motherboard. I know it has a huge amount of USB connections of USB , USB2 and USB3 type. Got Win10 on the SSD and Office but there's only 92gb left after that. I have one SSD of 250gb, a 1tb HDD which runs DCS stable version and an external 1tb HDD that I have the Open Beta 2.7 on. I think my best option will be to save up my pennies for a decent computer (believe me THIS one is STREETS ahead of the one I had!!) and ask again for recommendations for a system before I get a new one. I freely admit to being a "user" rather than an understander in the same way that I drive a car but under the bonnet is a complete mystery to me. Thanks again

Hi Guys, Because my machine only has 250GB of SSD Ram, my DCS is running from by HDD and will sometimes just stop while it catches up. Only for a couple of seconds but still can spoil the fun. If I buy a huge capicity extrernal SSD Ram will this stop the problem or should I just save lots and upgrade? Thanks Rgds Lee
