thank you! :pilotfly:

the in-game training goes over it, i'd try that, helped me

Looks like a ton of fun! Excellent! :thumbup:

Yeah I would of thought that too, use auto updater for small, frequent fixes, doesn't seem useful atm but once 1.2.3 is live, I am sure it'll get used a lot to fix some bugs 1.2.3 brings like when 1.2.2 came out.

It would be great if it tracked MP stats. As a work around, you can edit your logbook. It's a lot of effort, but if you get done playing for 3hrs, you could add that easily. The hard part is keeping track of units killed. saved games\dcs\missioneditor\logbook.lua ["agKills"] = 805, ["killRatio"] = "824/33", ["missionsCount"] = 4, ["ejections"] = 15, ["totalScore"] = 291, ["flightHours"] = 84252.583999984, ["daytime"] = 82115.586999983, ["commissioned"] = "1/12/2013",

Are you removing your DCS saved games folder? Sounds like there is some conflicts with it trying to load settings. Saved games folder holds all your control input and other settings. For a full clean install, try: - Uninstall DCS World - Delete the dcs world folder if there is anything remaining to make sure - Delete saved games folder (c:\users\username\saved games\dcs) - Install dcs world, install c++ (it's included with the install iirc, or the a10c install cant remember which) - install a10c module

Great news, looking forward to the coordinate display function!

Take a look at this mission, see attachment. The Ka50 Black Shark will land, while the AH-1W Cobra will Hover, then land. The ka50 is advance waypoint > land the cobra is > advance waypoint > orbit @ wp1 (speed 0), stop condition (flag1) > land flag 1 is a trigger that will activate when time more = 90 seconds. dont forgot to use ctrl+z to speed up time and shift+z to go to normal speed if you wish to view it quickly. helo_land_and_hover.miz

It's under the advance waypoint options, not the waypoint itself

Understood, I will edit them and pick DCS Ka50 and DCS A10C.

I have a question about the User Files section on DCS's website. I uploaded my campaign for ka50 and a10 there, and am happy people are able to download them there. Two questions: 1. I found it confusing that you had to pick either DCS World or DCS A10C Warthog for example (just one game type). So i put dcs world, but should I of put A10C? It's a bit confusing, I think that maybe I should be able to put, for DCS World, Module A10C. I didn't want to put A10C because what if somebody is only using stand a lone version, ie. people from steam that don't know the dcs world system yet, then it wouldn't work. 2. The other issue is the file type. For the campaign, it's a single player campaign and multiplayer campaign. But I couldn't pick them all, only chose campaign. So for future campaign makers out there, if they make their campaign single player and multiplayer, should we make two separate installs, for those people that don't care to search for single player campaigns but would search for multiplayer missions? Is the reason you are not able to select multiple categories is so you don't clutter up multiple sections with the same content? Since old games are discontinued and the future is DCS world, maybe the Game selection should be renamed Module, and DCS world isn't there because it's just the modules. Or maybe a seperate section for discontinued/old products (Stand a lone games, fc1, fc2, etc.)

It looks good, yes. But I think the problem he is having is the text could be a bit clearer and less "smudged". For example compare the quality of the UHF font to the font on the switches. I'm guessing it's because it's smaller and the need to fit more text in a small area? Certainly not a real issue, just an observation.

Are you sure it's red vs blue, and they don't have any advance waypoint actions to prevent firing? like ROE = Weapon Hold. They still shoot on me...can u post the .miz?

Make sure you make a SPI, and are fair enough out from the target, and a good altitude. If there is anti-air threats, usually they won't drop the bombs unless you are already at a very high altitude to avoid being shot/detected. sometimes it also takes a few times to ask them, more so if you ask them to do something but they are trying to rejoin formation, you need to wait for them to "2 rejoined" message to issue a new order. this is my personal experience, sometimes it just seems a little off with wingmen in the game.

This is not always 100% reproduce-able for me, but sometimes if I clone a trigger that has a sound file, this problem happens. Easy way for me to deal with it is to just open the .miz file with your zip program and look for the files with 0 bytes. It still records the file in the mission, but has no value in size. Those are the ones you know you have to re-add. When I come across this problem again, I will be sure to try and note the cause.

Have you tried updating/reinstalling Microsoft visual C++? I thought it came with the install, can't remember tho... edit: sniped by bengo.. :D

Not sure about su27 & 33, but since u still like to fly ka50, here is a campaign i made for it: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=99549 For the campaign, you'll need to use the ka50 jtac mod, all explained in that thread Might want to check the main website user file section for flaming cliff missions http://files.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/

Ranger, try using single gpu, and vysnc off (Assuming you are using windowed mode here...) SLI doesn't help in window i've found, but works good in full screen.

Nearly all modules, including FC3 are receiving some updates/fixes. The newsletter just informed us that they are working on 6DOF cockpits for some FC3 planes. I don't believe it was ever said in patch notes themselves that the 6dof cockpits would be out with 1.2.3, just that they are working on adding those in the future. no idea when though...

Here are my settings. Even with my i5 3570k @ 4.5ghz and two 580s, I use lower settings to maintain 45-60fps. Most helpful options for me was putting water to low and shadows to medium. If you put shadows to low, you don't get cockpit shadows. However, on medium, you do, and 99% of your time is usually in the cockpit. I find it hard to see any difference in shadow quality while in cockpit between high/medium. It helped quite a bit with fps when I have tgp on.

No. No.! Get back to work! :book: :joystick: :smartass::pilotfly:

I have not bothered trying to figure it out as jtacs are being addressed with 1.2.3, what exact fixes/changes are in store I have no idea. I have found however, that sometimes wille petes will come out sometimes after 30sec or sometimes after 5 minutes, regardless of the mission load, amount of units, jtac group assignments, etc. As far as lasing goes, if the jtac lases a target, you can find it with your laser search (dms right..i believe...) It won't guide your bomb to the target, you'll need your laser for that, afaik.

Have you tried changing your "PART OF GROUP IN ZONE" condition to "UNIT INSIDE ZONE" ? edit:.....sniped!

I notice very little difference between the pro clip and hat clip whether or not I have all lights on or off. Bit I imagine if your room is very bright with lights and/or sunlight pro clip might perform better as it as three led lights so its easier for trackir sensor to see.

I use trackir 5 with hatclip. I have the pro clip but find it a hassle and an annoying weight on my headphones. Hatclip works just fine for me. So I vote to save some money don't get pro clip.
