NIAGARA MOHAWK

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 ..

Any Idea when this might be ready for use ?? Inquiring minds would like to know ..

First day Buy for me also ...

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 ???

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??

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 ?

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

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 ..

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 ...

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 ....

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 ?

Copy That : Thanks ...

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 ?.

Thanks : that sounds like an option worth looking into ..

Yes , Good news for sure . Thanks for the Tip Mar28 . Now that the Cat is out of the bag ? maybe we can get a few sneak peeks ??? Ya know , Just to get the Juice's flowing so to speak . Now I just gotta remember where I Buried those $$$ in the Back Yard ..

By all means , Release it , There will be Plenty of Grateful Customers .

copy that : and thanks to both of you .. I will give it a read and try in a few days or so .. C drive is about 1/2 full . and B drive only about 5 or 10% full . don't want to move DCS to the SSD as I believe the NVMe drive is faster then the SSD ? even though the C drive still has a bit over 500 GB free , As Foolish as it sounds !!! I want to keep it free for IF or WHEN or EVER , DCS releases WWII Marianas and some new warbirds or Maps ?? ---I know , I know -- Keep Dreaming and Good Luck with That .. Thanks again

Thanks Silver Devil : I would like to try that if there is an EASY way ? all i have looked up is very long drawn out process with command prompts and such , sounds dangerous for the not so tech savvy ? -- i have win 10 home with 1 "C" drive NVMe 1 tb and a second "D" drive SSD 2 TB . if you might have an easy link you cold share ? === would be appreciated . would just move some terrains there .. Thanks ....

I think you are asking how to arm your bombs as to not Frag yourself when they go off ? when you select the ground crew to rearm / refuel , after you select which pylon to load , with say a 500 GP bomb , the arming screen appears and there is a small yellow / orange triangle tic next to the bomb , click that and the Fusing page will appear .. i select the following and you can still do low level bombing safely .. nose fuse well = Mk 244 mod 1 has a 4 sec delay . tail fuse well = AN M116 has a 5 sec delay . i tried to take a screen shot , but for some reason it wont take the pic of the secondary page overlay on screen ?? =========== is this what you wanted to know ?? sorry I don't have any tutorial , just trial and error ..

The answer is a big fat -NO- "they are a very small team , and when they have something to share they will "? and since they have not shared Anything ? what does seem to indicate ? you would probably have a better chance at winning the Lottery , then getting any info about upcoming WWII projects ? that same question was asked Nicely many times starting long ago , (when they said new info coming soon )and it was ignored , and soon Never Came . so now Sorry to say Pessimism is on the Rise --- Standby for the Attack Dogs ??????? I wish things were different , But it is what it is .....

Thanks Again Flappie : That did the Trick = (fixed) You taught an old Dog a new Trick .. it was pretty easy , i copied your fix to a note pad in case i need it again .. Don't want to reinstall Caucasus , saving the space in case they " EVER " Release WWII Marianas and other WWII Birds .. then i would also delete Modern Marianas if its not needed to run the WWII version .. DCS is such a GB Hog , gotta trim what is not used , fill up the SSD too much and it will slow down Im told ? , now if they ever remake Caucasus to WWII ? then it will be reinstalled .. this fix was easy enough , Not going to ask for a refund ( for the Campaign BNBOB )...but they should update the buy page stating you need Caucasus map ).. Now I wonder if other Modules have the same mis information ... Not even gonna mention what happened with the release of those other maps with the Crap low level res . Oops I did , didn't I ... Must be more Careful next time . Thank you Flappie = Mr Fix it ...

Thank You Flappie : I will give that a try later in the day when i have some time .. ED /DCS should have listed Caucasus was required , if so i would have passed and saved the Aggravation ... I do have the Channel map + Normandy 2.0 + Marianas and Syria .. If your trick works that will be all Good ... but if every time DCS updates it changes everything back ?? I will be wanting a refund ... hopefully they can make some type of fix / patch for this in next update ? but thanks again for the Info .. Much Appreciated ..

So I just bought the P-51 Blue Nose Bastards Campaign , and it will not start . ( says missing module Caucasus ) ??? but campaign says Normandy 44 or 2.0 is required ?? I uninstalled Caucasus map to save space a long time ago and have no intention of reinstalling it as i don't use it , tried the slow DCS repair = No Joy == uninstalled Campaign and reinstalled = No Joy .. Help Please
