  1. ive got the same issue., i bought BS1 way back on DVD, now cant find the DVD but id like to upgrade to BS2 or similar. my user profile shows that there is a record that i bought it and what the serial numbers are. but i cant see how i can update/upgrade or even just download it to install it and play it. i followed the links in this threrad and they are all dead ends now.
  2. thank you..i couldnt find them anywhere.
  3. and thats where people like myself, and yourself depart.. i feel that im in the majority. i certainly dont want to be clicking each breaker nor do i care what breaker needs to be on. i want the engine started- thats it. as far as simulation goes, i want realistic flight models, realistic systems behaviours and realistic physics. you dont need clickology for that. im pretty sure that most people who play this game- even those who swear by absolute 1:1 replication, dont have setting such as random failures turned on during their MP server play. i was just curious as to if there would/could be a compromise. clearly there isnt one.
  4. link please?
  5. yeah, i cant get my head around the seemingly unecessary actions like 'holding open a spring loaded cover with left mouse button then simultaneously pressing and holding right mouse button and waiting until engines spool up' kind of detail. removing sun shade covers whilst canopy is open, and such.. it feels like over kill or details that only people who intend to fly the real thing would need. it surely is catering for a minority?..maybe im wrong..
  6. is there a manual for the new FC aircrafts?
  7. ive been playing FS's since the late 1980s..im now 52. i played flanker, flanker 2, 2.5, janes f15, janes f18, janes ATF, etc.. apache longbow on DOS, online in Novalogic's F22, F16 and Mig29 on DIALUP- good times...and i joined the airforce as part of my passion for aviation. im still 'playing' flight sims now after 36 years and experienced a graphics card evolution through 3dfx to direct 3d and the openGL period and have countless hours defragging, optimising and overclocking to squeeze out the very last frame..these days ive gone from track IR to VR and ultra high res...back then a 640 x 480 res and a 33MHz machine was good..lol i wanted to publicly state that for me, the most enjoyment comes from the lo fi version of DCS. i feel that its complicated enough to separate those who know how to fly and strategise and manage energy and so on, and ive for a long time wanted a 'switch' or 'macro' or 'mod' where i can switch between lo and hi fidelity models so i can fly the hi fidelity mods i have in lo fi, but for now its good to see the mig15 in lo fi, even though i feel i couldve saved a few $ by not buying the hi fi version.. is it at all possible for such a 'switch'?..and would people host servers for lo fi only? most people, i think, have busy lives and anything more than lo fi requires a real committment that most dont have....heck even lo fi requires mastery of the keyboard with almost every key used plus modifiers... its kind of why i quite enjoy rise of flight and IL2 WW1 planes..its really mostly about how well you can fly and less about mastering every button. thats my 2c worth anyway..
