+1 for settings

tmansteve, yes, you will both need a copy of the L-39 installed.

sedenion, it triggered my Symantec Endpoint Protection also (see attached screenshot). I am running Win 7 x64. After removing it from quarantine, it installed/executed just fine. Thank you for your continued work on this!

I made the BMP a solid color that would come out as transparent. Take a look at the attached file and see if this helps. Just drop it in the following directory structure: \DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\CoreMods\aircraft\SA342\Textures\SA342. SA342_cpt_glass_norm.bmp

I noticed this also. I had to modify SA342_cpt_glass_norm.bmp in \DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\CoreMods\aircraft\SA342\Textures\SA342.zip and now it is clear again. I believe that it has something to do with the lighting, but I'm not an expert. I did not notice it before the latest update.

The pilot must maintain height manually when hover mode is engaged. It is still possible to slave the yaw to the camera so that the pilot does not need to operate the pedals during a hover. The auto-collective, as in single player, does not work in multiplayer.

As far as I'm aware, his motherboard does not have built-in video. Try a re-seat of your CPU. I'm going to assume that when you said "relube" you meant "reapply thermal paste". :) I would hate to think that you were spraying WD-40 on it! (insert laugh here) Did you happen to have your CPU overclocked?

Sorry to hear that you are having issues, man. What I'm going to say might sound trivial to you, as you have probably tried all of this. It is not meant to get a rise out of you. :) Since I don't know what you have tried, I'll start with the basics: Have you tried hooking up the bare minimum (PSU, mobo w/CPU+fan, vid, single RAM, kb/mouse/monitor)? This would obviously eliminate if your sound card, HDs, other peripherals (fans, etc.) are bad. If it still won't POST, then I would suggest figuring out what the error code is. If you are not familiar with this, it should be a series of beeps. You might need to beg/borrow a speaker to hook to your mobo to get this. There are also diagnostic cards that will help you figure out the issue (https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Description=post%20test%20card&Submit=ENE). I have had to use mine a few times for others and it is well worth the few bucks to have around. If the bare minimum does work, I would suggest adding in a single piece of the puzzle and start her back up until it goes poof again. Don't give up on her. One shoddy thing can cause the whole shebang not to play nicely. Even if it is something like flaky RAM on one stick and in one sector, it can be found. There are a plethora of programs to diagnose it if you get it working. We have to get it powered up first! Lots of smart people here. Someone will have an idea once you tell us what you have already tried.

If possible in battle (ha), come to a steady hover and enable hover and slave modes. This seems to settle the camera down. However, it is not exactly ideal under duress or incoming fire. I have found that you can do it manually, but it is very touchy and it always seems to veer at the last minute even if you are trying your hardest to keep her steady without assistance. I am still hopeful that the Gazelle will get some love soon (optimist).

I use SEP and it picks up random DCS files during install also. It is doing it's job: alerting you to anything that heuristics flags as suspicious/malicious behavior. If you trust the publisher, you can trust the file (if downloaded from the publisher). I cannot back the advice to not use an AV program (ever). Everyone has their flavor that they prefer, but they exist for a very good reason. If you question a file, you can always ask on these forums and someone will verify if it is part of the install/legit.

I am on Win 7 using 384.76 also. I did experience some first-time long load times, as Headwarp mentioned, after the last update. After that first execution (compiling shaders? I dunno) it is back to normal. I do not think that it is related to your video drivers.

Hambone70, the DCS download is a web installer (internet is required). The only way I can think of to do what you are wanting is to completely install it on a networked PC, then copy that to your external.

cyberwings, check out this thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=121659 It is not quite what you have pictured, but it might work for what you want.

Snake1-1, I would suggest that you put in a support ticket with ED (https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/) if the key is already bound to your account.

I thought that was only for modules post-Mirage? The Huey should still be issued a Starforce key the way I'm understanding it (https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/500/#2636762).

DCS does not have built-in VOIP. Most people use third-party VOIP software like TeamSpeak.

If there is at least one unit in the group that is returned from Group.getUnits(), the group can be considered alive/active. local group = Group.getByName("someGroupName") if group and #group:getUnits() > 0 then -- group is alive/active endI have not tried this particular scenario to test for isActive, but I would think that non-active units would not be returned, nor even the group. I hope that I am not mistaken. I am unable to test this right now.

There is nothing built-in that I know of for this. If you wanted to comment the require nullification in /Scripts/MissionScripting.lua, you can read the file from the drive: dofile("./Mods/terrains/Nevada/Beacons.lua") local stations = {} for _, data in pairs(beacons) do table.insert(stations, data) end endYou would end up with all of the available TACAN information from that file in a stations table.

That is the multiplayer chat. It is telling you that you have two unread messages. Hit TAB to expand the chat window.

I know that Grimes does a good job of updating his wiki when changes come out (http://wiki.hoggit.us/view/Simulator_Scripting_Engine_Documentation). I don't think that it has 100% of the new stuff, but it should be more up-to-date than the official ED one. Carpet bombing, for example: http://wiki.hoggit.us/view/DCS_task_carpetBombing

This should work fine in DCS 1.5. As borchi_2b mentioned, make sure that you have the helo completely started up before the other player joins to avoid desync issues. When the second person joins, you will see a popup asking permission to enter your helo. Click on their name and hit OK. The second player should enter the second seat in the helo after this is done and have control over the left half of the cockpit. I do not fly in VR, so maybe someone could chime in if there is an extra step to take or something. Setting the mission up marking the SA342 as client is correct.

We posted minutes apart. You sniped me. :) I was using your answer from the other thread as an explanation of what happened. My answer was for Rudel_chw to inform of where the manuals can still be downloaded from.

Please do not spread rumors. Chuck will get around to bringing them back online when he is able. There are others that are hosting them in the meantime.

if _initname == "Unit1" or initname == "Unit2" or initname == "Unit3" thenshould be if _initname == "Unit1" or _initname == "Unit2" or _initname == "Unit3" thenYou forgot the underscores for the Unit2 and Unit3 comparisons.
