Sometimes I take my laptop and HOTAS with me when I travel. WiFi is not accessible everywhere, and I have to use smartphone as router to have internet access. Before the last update I could start DCS totally offline and everything worked. I could not switch DCS to offline mode, because it's not accessible in the Steam version. In the Steam version I can play offline only for three days, and after that I get the error "Steam authentication error, no saved authorization found" And if I am away from home, I use the smartphone router to update the Steam authorization for next 3 days.

@sleighzy OK, maybe I should create a new topic, I decided to post here because I had seen posts from user Dashomat, who seems to have exactly the same problem. If I want to enter Missions, Trainings, etc., I have to be online during loading of DCS. When DCS is loaded, and I disconnect the WIFI, I still have access to Missions, Trainings, Encyclopedia, etc. The problem is when I disconnect the WIFI before loading DCS, In that case everything freezes. I use the Steam version of DCS, I don't know if users of the standalone installation have the same problem in the offline mode. The log I attached Is from the case when I run from Steam Offline.

I have the same problem, DCS hangs when I try to access Missions, Training or Mission Editor. Renaming folder DCS\Mission Editor or deleting news.lua did not help. And here is my log file: dcs.log

A very good preview of Starfighter's cockpit, I like that kind of videos, I can pause it and guess the function of different instruments, switches or knobs. But the music.. fits more to some kind of abandoned space station from a horror movie :)

Worked for me, thanks. But I wonder if unchecking the Force Feedback won't affect the control settings for other helicopters?

As for me, I don't want refunds, I will keep my RAZBAM planes on disk. I think for now, all efforts should be focused on keeping these modules compatible with DCS core. To prevent the situation when future DCS updates will make them unflyable.

I think we are lucky it was just the G-limiter broken after that update. I don't want my Mirage 2000 to stop working at all. We had many adventures together, like this one:

Hello. I created a simple mission for P-47, where I tried to strafe a Schnellbot with just my machine guns. One of my series destroyed the middle AA-gun of the boat. But as I saw on the F9 preview, that gun still kept firing at my plane, I could clearly see tracers. Damaging the boat more than 80% silences all of AA-guns. I have attached a track showing that attack, the Normandy 2 map is required, and the P-47D module. P-47D vs Schnellboot.trk

As long as I remember, Hellcat was always my favourite warbird. I have books, monographies, models of F-6F, and of course, games. Not only flight sims like Il-2 Pacific Fighters or MS Combat Flight Simulator 2, but also simple arcade games. But one game, "Wings of Fury" for Amiga, has special place in my memories, because it was my first related to planes game ever. Years later, when I am familiar with programming languages and basics of graphics, I made my own arcade game with Hellcat, strongly based on "Wings of Fury": I am very excited waiting for that beautiful dark blue bird in DCS - all I need is Double Wasp and six .50 cal brownings!

Hello, Sometimes, when I do a cold start, and set INS alignment to GC mode, I randomly get the "GC HOLD" message on HUD, and alignment does not resume anymore. The aircraft does not move at all, wheel chocks are placed. Any ideas, what stops the alignment?

H60MTI is right. I tried that mission, too. GBU-28 didn't "catch" the laser beam. TGP code was 1688, as well as the code for the GBU-28's station, as I checked in the Mission Planner. Mk-84 bombs seemed to be buged, too. I couldn't place the CCIP pipper on the ship when diving. I think the last case was reported here:

Sorry, my picture is kind of misleading, I rather thought of post WW2 planes, especially MiG-15 and F-86. Those planes have this option, I will check warbirds.

Thank you, Recoil16, now everything is clear. I don't know how could I be so dumb to even start this topic without getting familiar with that radio. I don't have a TrackIR so the AM/FM button is totally obscured by some frame elements of the ejection seat but I still could use RCtrl + RShift + NumPad keys. Anyway, "correct as it is"

Hello, When I do a cold start at Vaziani Airbase on the Caucasus map, I try to set up the ATC frequency, 140 MHz, on the new ARC-210 radio device. Ufortunately, every time I use the "manual" mode to set 140 MHz, the modulation automatically switches from AM to FM. I use 269 MHz instead, but I would like to ask if it's a bug. Track file is attached to this topic. A-10 radio bug.trk

Hello, I would like to ask a question about the communication between me and my AI flight members. When I send orders like "Engage my target", they reply either "roger" or "unable" but that's not the point. What about planes without radar locking capability? Is "my target" the nearest enemy plane or the one closest to my plane's longitudal axis (the enemy I am "looking at", directly in front of me)? Or maybe the aspect angle is also important? I will explain it on the picture below. The left enemy plane is closer to my plane's longitudal axis and the one on the right has shortest distance.
