  1. I will be keeping the windows installation so I can just drag and drop DCS to the new drive ? its already installed. I can update the shortcut no problem but will DCS not continue to download the updates to the old drive ? I know how to copy and paste command lines but that's about my limit. no idea how to go about installing the game in in parallel, I really just want it all on the new drive. Thanks Alan
  2. Hi, I have been away from DCS for about a year and want to get back into it. DCS wants to update but dive is not big enough. I have another SSD that I can put it on but dont know how to swaps it to the new drive ? I dont want to lose the planes I have and have also thought about going on to the beta. so what is the easiest way to change the drive and maybe go on to beta at the same time without losing my planes ? Thanks All Alan
  3. I dont use trackIR, I use facetracknoIR and have tried AItrack and open track. I found the last 2 much worse at tracking but that could be down to not using an IR source. Thanks
  4. I have it at the bottom, it was much worse when using it from the top. I do have it mounted about 4" hight though. I will try lowering and tilted back like in your diagram. Thanks Alan
  5. Hi all, I use a 32" TV as my monitor this causes problems with head tracking. I use headtrackNOIR, if I put the cam on top of monitor its fine looking left to right and up and down loses track if I go too far. the main problem is looking down to the sides ( im on the F-16) so lots of switches on left and right down low. I also get similar problems if the cam is placed low at the bottom of the monitor. I can left it up 4" but after that its getting in the way of the screen. I'm thinking of trying IR head clip to see if that works better but I really think I will just have the same problems. I am Using the PS3 web cam and have tried other HD web cams and the results are the same. if anything the PS3 cam is a little better. Any suggestions ? Thanks Alan

    f-16 fuel

    Ok, will check map and see. It looks like I have been in afterburner without knowing Thanks Alan

    f-16 fuel

    I hear what your saying but jumping in on servers to fight you dont know where you are going how far you will travel and how much time you will spend in full afterburner in dog fight. It would take me a week looking at the map to try and work that out. Im sure others can doing it but I am looking for fun fights not to become a professor of maths. I will stick with whatever the plane is set to and try to reach the nearest base or air refuel. If I dont make it I will bail out. In most cases I am shot down before reaching bingo fuel so its not that important to me. Thanks Alan

    f-16 fuel

    Hi all, I have never set the bingo fuel and did not know you could. I was guessing the plane was calculating its self on how much fuel needed to return to take off base. I am trying flying at half throttle to see what happens but as yet I have not hit bingo due to being shot down lol Thanks Alan

    f-16 fuel

    Thanks, I will give that a go Alan

    f-16 fuel

    I will double check but I think I would notice the high fuel rate if I was in afterburner. Thanks Alan
  11. Hi, I have been trying servers this week and loading 2 300 gal external tanks and full onboard fuel tank. after about 15 mins. I am hitting bingo fuel. flying at 3/4 throttle. This does not seem right ? as far I I can see fuel is set to auto so I assume it will feed of the 3 tanks without me having to do anything ? Thanks Alan
