Korn

Same problem here. Works totally random, mostly not.

This is broken for me as well (Win7 x64 Pro). Sometimes but not always switching focus (alt tab) / minimizing all (winkey D) still keeps DCS on top but the Windows taskbar does appear. Clicking on other open apps in taskbar of course does nothing, DCS "window" (it's full screen really) still on top even with focus on other applications. For me it's no big deal but i find it weird that is not consistent. I can usually get normal behaviour after a few tries. It appears to happen mostly if not exclusively in multiplayer.

Thanks for your work, i find this very useful and i'm not even a a n00b shy with the command prompt :). Also nice logical design, gg. fyi for some reason can't add rep to your original post. Probably too much rep already lo/

Startup options: options for engine running starts (i like cold starts but i don't see why it needs to be forced upon people) Map Settings: no aircraft icons visibility aids: no aids Required time to find combat: no guarantee of combat Objectives: simple objectives that require ground attack Weather: good flying weather / mild crosswinds or clouds AI aircraft: a few AI aircraft TS availability: optional I have no problems joining empty maps if i know the missions are somewhat interesting. Which also means must have some AIs.

I can't connect to my buddy's server because of this exact error. Changed the router, repaired game, cleared cache, dmz, changed connection options, nothing works. Finally i gave up, waiting on DCS 2 hopefully with dedicated server. The weird thing for me is that on other servers i have zero issues. I think it must be some sort of network / peering problem. Just can't fix it.

It has two extra wheels (throttle wheel on the left of the stick, x / y trim wheels down / right respectively) which don't change the stick position but the potentiometer position. So the stick doesn't move but if you were to look in game and move those wheels you would see the ingame stick moving. Not that useful imo. Can be used as alternative trimming method or even for planes that don't have eleron / elevator trim.

Is that a Mirage? LE: nevermind, apparently it's a Tomcat.

Not sure i understand your question but if the ingame controls reset when you plug another usb device it has nothing to do with the CH software but with DCS. I have myself a mix of CH and other controllers and never had such a problem; however i'm not in the habbit of unplugging stuff. Hopefully taking care to plug in everything before you launch the game will prevent this issue... but i think what it is is Windows messing up the controllers' IDs therefore causing the game not to recognise them as previously set up. In older versions of windows we had the ability to manually asign a USB controller ID but not anymore... progress :B. Maybe take care to plug them in the same order in the same port every time.

I'm a DRM hater but i think this is the best way to implement it. I only had one problem when the Starforce server were down for a short while and i couldn't activate a new module (i think it was the Kurfurst) for like 10 minutes. Imo this approach with serial numbers and online login is the way to go, yeah i know nobody likes seeing their activation/deactivation numbers go down but even if you use them all you'll get another one after a month. So basically you can upgrade beyond the threshold every month and not even have to worry about deactivation and what not. If you upgrade your cpu more then once a month, i don't know, i guess you can afford an extra copy of your modules :P. I don't see what is the issue, i know starforce got a bad rep (for good reasons) when years ago they messed up big and there still are people who can't get over it but they need to relax. I'm a paranoid mofo but like i said i got no issues, in my oppinion ED are very reasonable, they have tools to unbind/move the keys between accounts so yeah... what do you want? No DRM? I'd like that too* but since it won't happen i'm pretty much happy with the way it is now. It's just straightforward, no 3rd party software running in the background, no nothing, just a simple key check at installation and login for multiplayer, i like it. *but i wouldn't if no DRM would hurt the sales... and it probably would. What i'm saying is: what excessive DRM? The only less obtrusive DRM they could have is no DRM at all.

Best glide ratio is 14 to 1 (@185 knots IAS) according to the rl manual (section 3-3). Therefor in order to glide 12.9nm you need to be at an altitude of 0.92nm (~5600 feet) @185 knots IAS. With your 550 knots TAS you can climb ballistically (ignoring friction) to an altitude of ~12950 feet retaining a speed of 185 knots (TAS), unless i really messed up my calculations due to multiple transformations to metric and back. So even with friction (very significant at high speeds like the initial one) looks to me like you can rather easily reach the required 5600 feet @185 IAS which will give you the necessary height to make that distance at best glide ratio.

The game doesn't care whether it's called it a HOTAS, a throttle or a stick. They're all controllers and any combination will work just fine. Shot answer yeah, you can do it np. :)

Known issue, fortunately easily fixable: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=127342 Same solution for the 109K.

That's for the E version, with the older sight. There is another for the F but the scan quality is not as good (still perfectly usable) here: http://www.mediafire.com/view/r33oes59v3a2a54/F-86F_Flt_Manual_+_perf_data.pdf
