Wow! Thanks @bfr. System time was actually wrong!!!! Re-set it and all is good!!! Many thanks for all replies and help!!! Credit where credit due! My mistake! Special thanks to @MAXsenna. Apologies but in my "panic" I missed your point about the time! Never would have thought there was such a simple solution as I thought it would be something much more complex. First thing I'll check with any future problems! CHEERS to all!

Hi @MAXsenna, Thanks for the reply. Not sure that's the problem as it had been working fine for 2 years until the last DCS update? I'll try and do as you suggested. Regards. Now I've noticed the following error message when launching DCS (prior to the original error): "Failed to get authorization data. Error code is 500: No saved authorization found" Guess I'll submit a ticket.

Hi guys, I'm still fairly new to DCS and on a steep learning curve! I haven't played for a while but when I launch DCS I now get the following error: "The following DLCs are not authorised and will be disabled: F/A-18C" I purchased this aircraft in July 2022 and had been previously flying it with no problems. Now it does not appear in my game. Any ideas how I fix this issue or how I bring it to the attention of the powers that be? Obviously I have paid for a product that I can not use at the moment which is very frustrating! Any help much appreciated. Thanks, Mikka

So grateful guys for the replies. Don't know what I'd do without this Forum. Got plenty of info to mull over and decide what's best for my setup. I didn't know all this gear existed but very relieved I'll be able to make it all work at the end of the day! THANK YOU for all the replies!

Hi guys - self-confessed Forum Thicko here.... again! So I'm still getting to grips with the basics of DCS - and I mean the basics! However, looking down the road a bit I'm beginning to come across terms like VR and HMD. I'm assuming I'm going to need some more USB ports which I don't have hence my question: Is it possible to purchase a 1 into 2 (or 3 or 4) USB thingy whereby I can plug some sort of adaptor into 1 USB port and have 2 (or 3 or 4) new ports available to plug in more hardware? Hope you understand what I'm trying to say? Basically need more USB ports! Thanks in advance.

Could be?! In any event I really appreciate all you guys for your time and help for us newbies!

Well guys, after about a total of 4 hours yesterday and 2 hours today and tearing my hair out, I decided to turn on NUM LOCK and this has sorted the problem!!! Many thanks for your help/replies. Until I did this, the engine RPM was stuck on 31%. Turned on NUM LOCK and RPM started climbing!

Thanks for the reply. I'll try again and see if I can figure it out - again!

Hi guys - it's the self-confessed resident forum thicko here! Ok so I'm VERY new to DCS and following the DCS Cold Start Tutorial for the F18. I only get to about the fourth step (I think) but I follow the instructions explicitly but the left and right DDIs (monitor things) won't turn on. Like I said, I'm following the instructions, turn on the DDis, set the DDIs to Day Running, turn up the brightness controls for both but they remain blank! I just can't get any further. Can anyone help please?

Many thanks @draconusI'll give it a try and see what happens!

Hi guys I'm brand new to DCS and the learning curve is fun but steep. Basically I have DCS installed on my laptop but want to run it on a larger secondary monitor. The setup in my DCS offers 1 or 3 monitors as options but not 2 monitors. Can someone please explain how I run the game on my second larger monitor? Many thanks for any help. Or even just how to run the game only on the second larger monitor would be great!
