Hi McAfee was the cheapest program (I know of) that includes a VPN .. not the best but works well

ok after a reboot it seems to be working now without vpn even with windows defender firewall on and mcafee advanced firewall on. i did have to refresh around 5 times and wait for the listing of servers to appear. did 2 things 1. moved my dcs folder from a strange d:\save games\ which shows up as d:\dcs to d:\program files\eagle dynamics\dcs world openbeta\ folder ... 2. starting the dcs_updater.exe not really sure what i did to fix it, will monitor for a number of days and feedback...

nope, have those 4 x dcs items in inbound rules but still no luck here and i am logged in?

okay, I managed to narrow it down. when i disable windows defender multiplayer servers are listed almost instantly, turning windows defender back on and nothing. can someone share with me the inbound and outbound rules that i must put in place for windows defender firewall to allow dcs to list multiplayer servers?

Hi I am unmarking this solution, because I want to know if anyone else can possibly help me diagnose the problem on my PC? If I use a VPN I can authorise, log in, and view a listing of servers (multiplayer). However, if I do not make use of a VPN then I can also authorise, log in, even download modules I purchased etc. However, the multiplayer servers listing remains empty, even when trying to refresh. Any idea where I can start to troubleshoot this behaviour? I use McAfee AV

I tried turning on my VPN and now it is working. Not sure if without VPN was the actual problem, but I used to play DCS mostly with my VPN turned on in the past ... interesting.

Thanks just tried that but for some reason same result ;-(

I could see multiplayer servers earlier today, but since around 5 hours ago none appear? I tried to restart my PC also made sure I am logged on and the when looking for multiplayer servers none appear?

Thanks, I used to make use of an XBOX one controller, which definitely helps with the RUDDER axis, versus tapping 'z' and 'x'. I will likely migrate back to use / taking that controller with me again.

Hello, I've been quite content using the DCS F-16 with my gaming laptop, especially when I only have access to a keyboard and mouse. I can perform a wide range of actions, including takeoff and successful landings. This setup is ideal for my commutes or when I'm working in remote locations. However, I'm curious about how the DCS A-10, F-15, and similar aircraft compare in terms of Flight Control System (FLCS) controls. I'm considering purchasing one of those airframes and would like to know if successfully landing these aircraft with just a keyboard is feasible or if using a joystick becomes more essential for these particular models. I also used to fly the Mosquito and managed, but made use of TRIM extensively (keyboard) for small moves, other than that the Joystick is required for smooth control due to no advanced fly-by-wire systems ...

For your information, please remember not to move around or load munitions during the alignment procedure. I even engage the parking brake to ensure that the aircraft remains stationary, unaffected by wind or other external factors.

I hope that bugs wouldn't infiltrate well-functioning features. Towards the end of last year, a bug emerged, causing an issue with the proper alignment of mavericks. It seemed that one side, either port or starboard, couldn't maintain its alignment, even after careful execution of a BSGHT, and so on.

INS Alignment * when starting from an airbase, cold start, the stored alignment works fine, and no need to hit ENTR on each field. * when in flight and using the in flight alignment I 'think' you must ENTR on each field, same as with normal alignment Also, recently I am making sure my HMCS is aligned. PNEU/ELECT I also want to know what other people think, I have been switching over to ELEC mode 'during' stored alignment ... and it seems 'okay' but not perfect.

aha, ok thanks Razo+1 It was rather fun engaging a moving target, never being able to 'SEE' it via FCR or Maverick Seeker, also tried TGP .. BUT managed to lock on a moving target and get the critter was a good feeling .. BVR ground targets

Hi Razor Thanks for the reminder If that happens, how would F-16 Pilots, make using the GMT (ground moving target) FCR radar to lock onto a target, - what weapon would then be able to use that moving target coordinates to hone in on the target and succesfully taking out that target? Without the need for a Visual TGP targeting pod lock? Thanks Only other answer I know of is having a JTAC - gound based or drone to 'lase' the target and then dropping for example GBU 12's - provided you setup the bomb laser codes to match the JTAC laser codes - cold start - then you can fly away and JTAC laser will be used to guide the laser guided bombs? Thanks!

Hi Everyone Thank you for your support. I am working on improving audio, and slowing getting there Please review this latest video and let me know all your thoughts..

Hallo Fellow DCS F16 Pilots Please see below my very first training videos I created. Over time I hope to learn from the experts how to improve audio quality and overall editing. Cheers! AngryViper.101

okay thanks for the reply ED Team, as always you are doing a stellar job!

Hi I purchased the Sinai map, but alas, I only have the Stable version installed. when +- will the 2.8.6 (I think that is the version) version be released to the Stable version of DCS World, so that I can fly the Sinai map? thank you! Cheers, AngryViper.101

Thank you.

Aha, got it thank you, now I see! I notice if I 'click' on that 40 R CP 823 .... coordinates, it changes to different formats. Excellent! thank you for the advice! null

Hi Thanks for the reply, but how do I know which grid / where to see 40R? Forgive me, I am a casual player. Hi, please see my reply in post below. I need a bit of a reminder on how to accurately, know which grid zone to pick on the F10 map? Thank you

Hi Please remind me. When I communicate with JTAC, and obtain coordinates: CP 8173 3194 I go through all the steps, and enter on CNVRT, but then receive a strange ICP screen? (See third screenshot below) Is this perhaps due to the GRID : 31N, I am currently on the Persian Gulf Map - how do I find the correct GRID reference - is this perhaps the problem? null null What do I do now? null

awesome, thank you for reminding me!

Hi What must I do so that the Altitude reads out a value other than 500 on the HUD? null
