If you do the tutorials, and watch some tutorial videos on Youtube you can get up and running fairly quickly. Search my name on youtube I've done several vids form startups to weapon deployment. Also if you have a question as in the forums always someone willing to help out. All in all it is not the most simple sims to learn but with some practice it is well worth it!

Fresh install of windows, Fresh download and install of DCS World. When it gets done installing it pops up a message stating DCS_Updater.exe couldn't load correctly (0xc000007B) Set to run as admin. previous version was working prior to new OS install. Installed to different drive than normal. install directory renamed DCS World2 during install. DX installed with installer VIsual c++ installed with installer. At this point I cannot do anything. <RESOLVED> It would seem that MSVCR100.dll was 32 bit for some reason. Deleted it and reinstalled Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64) seems to be working

Does anyone know how long it ususally takes to hear back on a trouble ticket? I ran out of activations for my BS 1 and am needing to activate it so I can install BS2 (Should have bought the stand alone). Put in a ticket yesterday and just wondering how long my wait will be. Thanks

as tailspin stated all taildraggers cg is aft of the main gear or they would nose down just sitting there. The issue isn't an issue of where the CG is it is an issue that it feels as though the thrust of the engine is coming from aft of the CG instead of fore of the CG. It feels as though you are pushing a wheelbarrow instead of pulling a cart. Glad the Devs are looking into it.

Finally picked up P-51 and while I can take off with only slight issues something doesn't feel right. I have flown taildraggers irl and the thing that seems odd in this sim is it feels as though the engine is pushing from the rear instead of pulling from the front. The tail wants to come around much easier than it should considering the power pulling at the front of the aircraft. You do get torque from engines however the torque here seems unidirectional (doesnt rotate just one way as you would expect). You can just as easily slip the plane right as left when under power on the ground, and can basically "drift" the plane left and right while still going forward on the original vector as if the engine is on the tail and attempting to accelerate faster than the front. I attempted to somewhat illustrate this in this picture. Basically Direction of travel isnt changing when direction of the nose is changing so you are flying sideways as if the engine were in the back pushing the tail to accelerate faster than the nose. This can change side to side with same power settings so doesn't act like standard torque. Anyone else noticing this?

Since you are getting the auto pilot warning maybe when you enter the dive you are trimmed to autopilot. AP is kicking off when you dive and when you pull up you are still trimmed to AP. If the trimming was pretty high it would cause easy stalling of a wind when pulling out of a dive.

If you are talking about Jtac coordinates then watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcJ8mlMF7qg&list=UUyUt5eRilqETmhoItMP-xnQ&index=4&feature=plcp If you have any questions after that post them here and ill see what I can do to help.

Just a couple of suggestions.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mint-Saitek-X52-Video-PC-USB-Flight-Control-System-Windows-Flight-Simulator-/270971982488?pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item3f17305298 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Thrustmaster-Flight-Control-System-Mark-II-Weapons-Control-/370610822544?pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item564a205d90 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Thrustmaster-F-16-FLCS-and-TQS-Flight-Stick-Throttle-control-system-/300708323344?pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item46039ce010

Check out ebay. Before I pulled the trigger and bought the TM warthog I had found many great options on ebay. You can even get a complete TM F-16 stick and throttle for a decent price, if those are too pricey look for older X-52s thats what I was using before going to the warthog, and almost had enough buttons to map everything.

ugggg. I'm broke till the 15th so I just have to sit here and drool over all of these posts. Guess I'll hop back into the A-10 and make some more videos :cry:

I agree with Badger. Do a complete uninstall and reinstall the newest client. Patching over old versions sometimes causes issues.

The Techniques are just basic techniques to help people get started avoiding missiles. Obviously you will need to alter them to suit the situation you are in. The main reason I put them up there is waaaaaay back when Falcon 4 first came out I had no idea how to avoid the sams. If I had at least had a starting reference technique back then I think I would have been much happier with that sim (and not cussing it out everytime I exploded on a mission). So basically the vids are just to give people a graphical reference to help get them on their way so there isn't so much frustration when starting out. And yes SA-11s can be mean SOBs

Cool video! Awesome to see it from another sim pilots perspective. Been working on a mission similar to yours to show a buddy of mine how stressful avoiding sams can be.

I am betting bird strike. I had my first one on takeoff the other day. Wish I had been frapsing at the time as I tried to restart the engine before landing with one engine and a failing hydraulic system.

I've noticed it is generally a close call if you are at a higher altitude. When you are lower you can generally get them to miss you by quite a distance.

That's my video, was going to post a link to it but you beat me to it! I struggled for awhile with missile avoidance, but after reading a lot and practicing a lot I now haven't been hit in weeks doing basically what I have in that video. The most important thing i've found is visually finding the missile, before you attempt to avoid it.

Very cool. glad to see this fix put in finally.

1) No need for the inverter so why turn it on. This is to make the process simplified turning on things that dont matter isnt simplified. 2)APU gen was turned on after the battery power. As stated in the first few lines of the video, this is my startup that I came up with to make things easier after following the standard start up procedures for some time. Some things are not needed in the startup and the process can be made faster and simpler by skipping things that have no meaning. Comparing it to other startups for accuracy purposes wont work. 3) since I tend to get bugs when requesting engine startup, and get stuck waiting for taxi I bypass asking for permission. once Fixed I may add it to my standard startup but for now the only thing I need the radio for is target assignments.

Fixed the link. Are they fixing the apu generators dropping power when switching to the regular gens in 1108?

Uploaded my black shark startup video lesson as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kWTMKoGjrA

Greetings, I made the video below showing how to get the DCS A-10 on and ready to fight with an ambridged start up procedure. I figured with all the new people coming in a simple wy to manually start and prepare the aircraft for fighting would be a good video series to make. Video is on youtube at the link below. Hope anyone who needs it enjoys it and gets some good info from it. Working on several other videos as well with the new crowd in mind. Take Care http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqpN5nlrsMk

I got paulrkiii's from teh download section. I edited the cdu image and the chaff flare image so I could export their outputs from in game. Looks great and works even better. Now I need to get a few more monitors so I can get the whole cockpit setup. Thanks for the pointers

has anyone built a CDU for halios yet? I just started messing with this software the other day, and would really like to get the CDU more than anything in it. I figure it will be much easier to click rather than fumble around in the 3d cockpit.

I have both mfcds on a second monitor. I was using the right mfcd for the tgp and the mav. When tgp was on the display it was fine. Soon as I switched to the maverick page it was a slideshow. So they werent both on at the same time.

Last night I finally got around to re-setting up my second monitor. I had been playing single for awhile and wanted my mfcds back. When they are active sim runs normal. Switch on TGP sim still runs normal. Turn on Maverick sim turns into a fast slideshow. What is so different about the maverick mfcd page that causes the slideshow over the TGP? It appears the TGP is a more highly detailed picture so not sure why it wouldn't slow things down as well.
