You should make this thread a sticky, because that worked like a charm... turned it off, rebooted, did the DCS repair, tried multiplayer, it connected to Master in about 10sec, got out, turned back on the FW and it still connects and joins a game..... Thanks Eno, I was about to wipe the game to save space........... now I can enjoy the Pony with the group and all the other WWII stuff when it comes out AG-51 Hoss

LOL, if I were doing that I'd change my user name to Nero and break out my fiddle.................... I do have Bit Defender anti virus, but I have added exceptions in the anti-virus and Firewall for all my games and Multiplayer exe's. This is the only one I can't get to work, I have turned off anti-virus and firewall and no luck. I was hoping I could get someone to share the IP's to a A-10C or P-51 server to see if I could connect to an IP. Is there an IP and port for the Master Server?..................... I'll keep trying. Cheers Hoss

If the pod is anything like the DECM I worked on in the Navy it's not a jammer. The EA-6B Prowler and now the EF-18G Growler are the active jammers (ECM) in the USN. They will pick up, identify, classify and activily jam a signal, whether it be Command and Control, Search RADAR, Fire Control RADAR and continue to Jam it. I was in from 77 to 97 and worked on AN/ALQ-126 and 126B Deception Repeaters............. they are tuned to come on at a certain range to the "FIRE CONTROL RADAR" and tuned to turn off (stop responding). Deception Repeaters have a Threat Library of know Fire Control Radars and will respond to them Pulse for Pulse as long as it's in the range envelop of its effectiveness and the lethal range of the threat missile. It's used only to get you into and out of the target area. The threat RADAR guidance pulse is received drowned in noise and then a false return pulse is sent that will give false range or azimuth information. This will confuse the guidance system to break lock on or hopefully break lock on. Deception repeaters will not respond to search RADAR, your RHAW, RADAR Homing and Warning reciever will tell you there is a Search RADAR out there, along with all the Fire Control RADARs. That's where that Threat Library comes in handy. The Deception repeaters will respond to Air and Ground Threat RADARS. DCS World does not simulate a aircraft with a ALE-41 style Chaff dispenser that will lay down a corridor of chaff, much like they did in WWII to cloud the sky with aluminum strips cut to different lengths to confuse the different wavelengths of Search and Fire Control RADARS. Of course now a days we depend a lot on a Aircraft's Stealth. The JSF F-35's RADAR is linked to it's ECM suite and is supposed to be able to inject a virus into fire control RADARS, Command and Control Systems. We'll see if they get the software worked out in it to make that possible. So the answer to the DECM pod on the A-10 is "DO NOT LINGER IN THE TARGET AREA"........... One Pass Haul Ass...................... Cheers Hoss

If it's a problem for more than just you and I, there would of been a wide spread panic and they would of looked into it. So I guess either no one is online anymore or it's only happening to a very select few people. That being said does anyone know the direct connect IP to some of the good P-51 servers?................ I will try to see if I can connect that way. Thanks for the reply Hoss

I'm having major problems connecting to multiplayer, it keeps giving me a "failed to connect to Master" when I hit connect. I'm logged into DCS and the user name and pw are the same on the multiplayer log in... I made sure there is an exclusion in my antivirus for the game launcher and multiplayer launcher exe's. It's been awhile since I tried to go online, I have the latest version on DCS World installed as of today. Any ideas?.............. would really like to get on and fly the P-51 and A-10 again. HELP!...................... Hoss

Downloaded it 3 times, it's corrupt each time I unpack it with 7zip Hoss

After all this time you would of figured they would have this fixed, and I'm surprised a good coder has not figured it out yet either........... I find it extremely irritating it looks like a big blow up ball of cotton on the wings when you fire the guns........... imagine what it would be like if you were flying a P-38........... or Bf-109........... Hoss

Price is driven by demand, everyone was foaming at the mouth for the game in any form or fashion. Droves of you bought the Russian version if you could figure out how to get past the language barrier, and then turned around and bought the English version when it came out. And I'll bet you will also go out and buy the DVD when it hits the shelf if you have not pre-ordered it already. When demand is high, you can pretty much set your own price. Its the same principle as classic cars, how much is one really worth?......what ever someone will pay for it.:doh: I can hear P.T. Barnum now.................. There's a sucker born every minute...:megalol:...... But I will go out and get it when it hits the self, I'm not too high on pre-orders........... especially when so many stores and business are going out of business.......... :bye_3:

nvidia control panel is okay, but nHancer is much nicer, I have been using it for quite sometime now. It allows tweeking SLI a little better than other programs, and you can switch on the SLI balancing graph and see how your set up runs in game by looking at the graph. For Lock On don't enable any of the OpenGL stuff, make sure you check "Profile can be started manually"check box. Also look in the Tools tab for "Activate Profile" and make sure Lock On is activated, any other profile you check off the enable manually check box will be named in that window too, you can make sure that profile is active before you launch the game. It's supposed to be automatic when the exe is started, but I don't leave anything to chance. :doh:

Beta download http://blog.hznet.nl/2009/01/10/how-to-receive-a-valid-windows-7-key ................. self explanatory The main beta page is open again and keys are being issued normally now. Microsoft has also temporarily removed the 2.5 million limit on the beta for the next two weeks...:crash:

Yer havin a hard time, imagine how difficult it is for me without a disc for the disc drive............................ it's like playin with the monitor off.:megalol:

There is a quick RN file download on Lock On files that you can replace with the MOD, it allows you to keep all the Merzifon scenery upgrades and put the base back at Razdolnoe. It replaces the Razdolnoe.rn file Basically it's just the original Razdolnoe.rn file, if you install the Merzifon mod manually file by file using Mod man, you can install it without installing the Razdolnoe.rn file, and everything will work great. I use it and it's nice and quick
