  1. auto start can only be assigned to key pad , not any controllers .. hopefully they will fix this so it will be same as other A/C ,, and by the way its not the only item that cant be assigned to controllers , but only keyboard ? === fix please ..
  2. Any Idea when this might be ready for use ?? Inquiring minds would like to know ..
  3. you are 100% right MasaMan ... I just didn't want to ask for too much at once, we will be damn lucky if we get the smoke, WWII being the unwanted stepchild as it is ...but you never know , so i asked anyways, you'd think we would have learned by now ???
  4. The P-47 is such a good module, but it is Missing something .........a Radial Eng Signature item. .....Smoke belch on startup .. there's gotta be some oil polled in those lower cylinder heads? ED === Can we get some Smoke Please??
  5. Pacific== Abandoned airfields Guam... Normandy ..
  6. The Med =using the Island of Cyprus from the Syria map..
  7. Success !! I guess i had it all backwards , The reading of the Symlink instructions was a bit confusing .. and i ended up making the symlink on the D drive .. "wrong " other way around is what was needed .. so after your last reply .. I slept on it thinking and the light bulb in the brain flashed ... ( I had done it all backwards ) so i found this on the internet in the morning = same thing as your last reply .. ========================================================================= I use this shell extension on Windows: https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html You need to put your data folder in the other drive, right click the folder and select "Pick Link Source", then drop at DCS folder as a symbolic link. This way, you are going to have a link in DCS that points to the folder on your other drive. ============================================================================= So in the end once i understood how it works , it was just SO easy .. download tool / configure it / drag and drop terrain file from C to D drive / delete C file / rt click on the D file and send Symlink back to C , and everything works Butter Smooth .. So I learned 2 Tricks in the same week . Good Deal ' So now I reinstalled the Caucasus Terrain map, then moved and linked all 5 of my terrains and gained back 165 GB of Free Disk space == good to go / no need for bigger HD for long time now . if ever ?
  8. so as a test .. you say delete the original terrain file from C , then just copy and paste the symbolic link file from D back to C ... == Or use that tool again to send it back ?? how do you create the link back to C
  9. i tried that and the i lost the terrain ... I just rt clicked and deleted a terrain file from C , and when i started the game could not fly anything related to that map ... I will check back in the morning ..
  10. Yes .. from the DCS / MODS/TERRAIN folder , all the terrain files but not the folder . I see the terrain files in both C and D drives , and the ones in D have the little symbolic link symbol at the edge of the files.. everything works , but I saved No GB space at all ...
  11. and just what , pray tell are "tbe" files?? i just used the Link Shell Extension tool and made symbolic links of all my terrain files from the DCS Mod folder in "C" to the "D" drive ....
  12. Bit confused here , so i just did a Symbolic link with one map as a test from C to D . but C drive still shows same amount of used space , so if it does not free up GB space ? what is the point of doing this , I thought it was to free up disk space ? should i maybe have done the Hard link instead ?
  13. Hey guys what do you think of this other option ? I did look into the cloning of the M2 NVMe drive and that seems doable for me .. but now i think there might be a faster and easier option with a portability capability ( If there is No Downside and Would it Work ? ) to hook up Via a USB C port an external 2 TB NVMe drive , and then just transfer or copy / paste the entire DCS folder to the external ? it would then be portable to a future new computer the whole DCS folder complete with all setting / bindings and no need to re download . and it would keep the operator sys on a separate drive .. what do you think ?? or is it just opening a new can of worms ?.
