  1. The upgrade doesn't even use the original installation. Having the upgrade ask for two serial numbers would be trivial.
  2. The only thing that is crappy about the upgrade is that it's is done in the absolute worst way possibly ever imagined. Any sane game developer would go by key, not by if you have a program installed or not. The later is stupid to say the least.
  3. nVidia driver support has always been great, you never had to uninstall them or anything like that. The experience tool just makes it even better, you just tell it to install when it tells you you have an update.
  4. I find the campaign to be pretty good and fun to play, there is a lot going on and I guess if you don't follow it then it can seem like a bunch of disjointed missions. It's no Falcon campaign of course.
  5. The A10 is a very good first choice, but all the modules advanced modules are in my opinion worth a lot more money than ED asks for them. I have for example never even actively used the p51 module in any real context and even so I got more game play out of it than most games I buy.
  6. ED has made one world war 2 fighter and the sky is falling?
  7. It's awfully nice of them to give you the option of buying an upgrade at all.
  8. 1.2.5 had a few bugs but nothing that caused a crash to desktop.
  9. Dynamic campaign all the way, the current gfx engine works, but a DC doesn't exist and would be amazing.
  10. You can install it on how many computers you want (although starforce will stop you since it will eat an activation). You are only allowed to run it on one at a time. And the stand alone version is not a different game, it's not any different than say 1.2.4 vs 1.2.5
  11. I just had a one hour flight with this and I must say, well done. This has quickly become my favorite mod. Thank you!
  12. You can't see the laser in either the a10 or the ka50.
  13. That's just the half Russian inverted Cobra with a spin maneuver that is very popular.
  14. Tip: "burning out" (a colloquial term for overheating) has by its very definition a lot to do with cooling. ;) And high power LASERs, by their very nature, produce rather a lot of heat. Incorrect. The countdown in the Ka-50s ATGM HUD is the weapon ToF + a 6 second LASER cool down time. The quoted LASER cycle times are only possible if you correctly follow the limitations including the 6 second cool down between firings. If you ignore the cool down the LASER will fail sooner than the specified life. Although you can comfortable launch a full load of ATMGs with no regard for the LASER cooling cycle. You also cannot get 10-15 minutes of continuos LASER use as you said previously. The LASER does have however a combined firing duration of of just over 13 minutes, if and only if you you follow the specified usage limits. The LASER in the Ka-50 isn't even capable of continuous firing, the duration of the firing cycles for ranging and weapon guidance are all limited to pre-programmed values. This is discussed extensively in the Ka-50 forum. I just wanted to quote this so that no one missed it, because it was much more well said than what I wrote and I kinda page sniped by accident. That's exactly like saying I know that airplanes can fly in this game, I just haven't seen any indication that it has anything to do with "wings". Things don't spontaneously combust into fine smoke once they pass the set failure date provided in the manual. My harddrive will not explode as it passes its MBF time. If you buy a flight simulator and the manual goes out and explicitly tells you that, hey this thing might overheat. You can be rather sure that that is the problem when you go about trying to make it do so. That is irregardless if said overheating makes sense or not.
  15. I fired the laser until it broke, so at the end of this video it's completely dead. You can also see the IR pointer. qtqCTKQlOW0
  16. To be fair, in a sim where we can carry six mavericks it is a bit silly.
  17. I believe you can see the spot on the ground that you hit.
  18. EDGE is the new modern rendering engine that will power DCS in the future. Nothing more, nothing less.
  19. Different hardware, different cooling.
  20. Now you are just whining for whinings sake.
  21. No worries mate. Glad I could help. :thumbup:
  22. Have you tried deleting the folder with your user profile, it can get corrupt.
  23. But it's not screwed up? The only thing wrong now is that the betty isn't in russian.
