Yeah, have a read up on Wind Correction using LASTE in the CDU, that should sort you out.

Thanks Sithspawn, appreciated. @Blooze, you do need a GPU unfortunately. Agreed, in the settings you disable 3D rendering, but the server won't actually start at all if there's no GPU present. It's weird.

Had a look around, couldn't find anything on this... Does anyone know if DCS 1.5 will still require a GPU to run a dedicated server? If so, will the specs of the GPU need to be higher than they are now?

I've thought the same myself a few times. The AC130 would be fun, possibly the gunship version once they get multi-position cockpits working in DCS 2.0. CAS missions escorting cargo would be entertaining, I reckon.

Pretty sure EDGE is scheduled to have multi GPU support from what I've read. I would imagine it will be rough around the edges on release though. I'm also looking at GTX980 SLI vs Titan X. Although I hear rumours that a 980 Ti is on the cards, so I might wait for that and go SLI.

Not sure of the cause of your issue, but you could modify your local hosts file with the following: 37.235.108.14 updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com That might get you going...

Hi all, I'm playing with Mist, which is awesome. Can anyone tell me a quick way of getting Vec2 map coordinates for the placement of static objects?

Where's the Facepalm emoticon again?

Thanks ENO, yes it looks like I was being impatient :) I gave it a couple of minutes and it's all good. Cheers

Hi all, Did some hunting about, but couldn't find anything about this one, so I thought I'd post. I'm trying to load a .trk from an online session yesterday (version 1.2.7) but the replay just loads the in game map, nothing else. Am I missing something? TIA.

Does it work in the standard missions, provided by Eagle? Is it just user-made missions where it doesn't work?

Everything Doughboy said. :)

Just a thought, do you have JTRS enabled? The bottom-centre switch on the AHCP panel. You won't see your wingmen if that's off.

To address the cbu issue, what you're seeing hit the ground is the outer shell of the canister I think. The bomblets or skeets will fall on parachutes, the F6 view will cut away before they detonate, so it's often useful to use the shift-f10 view to see your cbu detonate...

F6 doesn't work for CBUs, the camera stops tracking the weapon once it separates. You have to use CTRL-F11 to go to free look mode, and track the bomblets from there.

For Q 3, what I normally do is hit CTRL-F11 just as the CBU separates, the camera will then be in free look mode, and you can watch the bomblets fall.

Cool, thanks for the update!

I think I have the same issue. All replays are from 1.2.5, a new install through Steam. Latest trk file here: http://www.mediafire.com/?ujce3xd6wjtopzq

When JTAC sends you the 9-line, you acknowledge it and you should get a message come through on the MFD. On the TAD you should see a red triangle, that is your target. You can use the TAD to make the triangle your SPI, then slew Mavs or the TGP to it... However, have a look at this thread, there seems to be a problem with the JTAC in the first mission: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=68548 Also, try setting up a mission from the mission generator, make sure JTAC works for you there.

For reference, I have the same problem as gonvise. I get everything from JTAC except the triangle... group and own IDs all set correctly.

Thanks Zamboni, I did reset my Group and Unit IDs to 1 on takeoff, but didn't check to see if they'd changed when the wingie left the ground... I will have another go! UPDATE: Ok, so setting group and ID to 1 got me as far as getting a 9-line, and a transmitting data/ready to engage message. But I received no message on the TAD or MFD... Oh, and it looked like the Net IDs didn't change when the wingie took off...

I have a similar problem with this mission. Initially I got the sending data message, but no message came through. Since then, every time I fly the mission, I get no tasking available from the JTAC. I have reset the campaign to the start, same issue. Love the game, but this is a bit weak, mission 1 of campaign 1 not working?!

Might be worth checking the MD5 checksum, although I thought torrents did this automatically...

If you have a HOTAS, make sure you have the throttles fully idle.

Very good question, I've been wondering that myself... using the TGP to find and track aircraft is very hard...
