Assuming you are running Windows 7, you can try copying the folder c:\users\(your name)\saved games\dcs warthog\config\input to somewhere safe, doing the upgrade and then copying the folder back. With a bit of luck this may preserve your keyboard settings. I'm not so sure about the graphics/audio settings as these options change between different releases - you may just have to set your preferences up again yourself.

Just remember that, although you can use the keyboard (or a modifier) to adjust the left and right sim throttles independently: - As soon as you move your physical throttle, the left/right sim throttle positions are immediately overridden back to the position of your physical throttle. - To move either sim throttle from OFF to IDLE, your physical throttle must be pulled all the way back.

Great set of instructions and a video on LGB employment here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=75876

I always use the VHF AM radio (tuned to frequency of airfield/ATC) and Mic Switch Forward. EDIT - and adding to what Viper said, you can bring up the map with F10 and click on the airfield - you'll be told if it is a coalition base.

Sure! Here you go (if you correct any errors, it would be great if you could repost it afterwards)... weapon type reference.zip

Thank you for confirming. @mvsgas - given that you have all the evidence, I assume you're able and willing to submit a bug report :)

@paulrkii. Thank you. One last thing though - mvsgas pointed out (and attached a track in post #11) that, in-sim, all that is required to restart an engine is to move its throttle to idle. Is this a bug too?

Thanks paulrkii. The manual is missing the APU start. @mvsgas. Perhaps it is a bug that all you need to do to restart a single engine in the sim is to move the affected throttle to idle and wait? EDIT: And should the procedure look like this? "If Restart is successful: 9. APU generator switch - OFF 8. APU - OFF 10. SAS switches - ENGAGE 11. Crossfeed - As required 12. Anti-skid- ENGAGE"

@mvsgas - questioning and wondering are all good with me! I'm switching the APU Generator Power switch on because the single engine restart procedure on Page 588 of the manual says: "When below 15,000 ft AGL, move the APU power switch to the PWR position" The instructions don't say anything about starting the APU. I don't know enough about how this aircraft works (or any, for that matter) to know when the manual is right or wrong or why it is telling me to do something - for now, I just do what it says and hope!

Thanks for your help guys. Solved! For anyone else having the same problem, I highly recommend using RCtrl-Enter so you can see what the sim thinks the throttles are set to. This is what I learnt: 1. If you don't move your physical throttle, you can use the keyboard to move (in-sim) both left and right throttle independently. 2. However, once you move the physical throttle again the in-sim throttles get set to the same position as your physical throttle. 3. The exception to (2) is when an in-sim throttle is off (behind the detent) - in this case moving the physical throttle has no effect (because of the detent) on the in-sim throttle (it stays behind the detent). 4. As both NDP and MVS said, the physical throttle has to be all the way back before the sim will let you set either sim throttle from off to idle. For my emergency restart of the left engine, this meant I had to move the physical throttle all the way back (which put my working right engine to idle, the hog now coasting) before I was able to move the left in-sim throttle to idle. 5. MVS - your shortcut method worked perfectly. I ignored all the instructions in the manual and just used the keyboard to move the left throttle (the inoperative engine) to idle - the left engine started up. Felt too easy! If you don't have a split throttle, here's the full emergency procedure that worked for me: 1. Simulate left engine failure by pulling the left T-handle. Push T-handle back in once left engine off. 2. Use keyboard to move left throttle to off (left throttle backwards over the detent). 3. Descend to below 15,000 feet and set APU Gen to PWR. 4. Use keyboard to move right throttle to max. 5. Set Left Engine Op switch to 'Motor'. 6. Move physical throttle all the way back - your hog will now be coasting because your working right engine will be set to idle. 7. Use keyboard to set left throttle to idle (left throttle forwards over the detent). Left engine should now begin its start-up cycle. 8. Use keyboard to set right throttle to max while you wait for the left engine to complete its start-up. 9. Set Left Engine Op switch to 'Normal'. 10. Set APU Gen to off. (Page 588 of the manual says to reengage the SAS switches too, but mine never disengaged).

I understand. One question about your workaround though - you still aren't able to move either sim throttle from off to idle if your physical throttle is not all the way back, right? I'll give that a go and see what happens. This doesn't seem to correspond to an APU start or a windmill start - would it work in real life mvs?

I leave the physical throttle wherever it is and use key commands to move the left/right throttle independently. But I think my problem lies with what you and mvsgas have both kindly pointed out - my physical throttle is not all the way back and so the left in-sim throttle is not going to off. I'll go back to the sim and check what rctrl+enter tells me. Re the 15,000 feet thing, this is as per p588 of the manual ("When below 15,000 ft AGL, move the APU power switch to the PWR position") under APU restart.

Hi. I'm having trouble restarting a single engine and I'm wondering if it's something I'm doing wrong or if it's a bug (or a side-effect of not having a split throttle or idle detents - I'm using a CH throttle). Here's what I'm doing and what happens: 1. Simulate left engine failure by pulling the left T-handle. Push T-handle back in once left engine off. 2. Move left throttle to off (left throttle backwards over the detent). 3. Descend to below 15,000 feet (not sure why this is required) EDIT: and set APU Gen to PWR. 4. Move right throttle to max. 5. Left Engine Op switch to 'Motor'. 6. *Try* and restart left engine by setting left throttle to idle (left throttle forwards over detent) but I can't. The left throttle will not move from its 'off' position. What am I doing wrong?! 7. Out of curiosity, I then turn my right engine off by pulling the right throttle back over the detent. I can move the right throttle back and forwards over the detent with no problem. 8. I then try and move the left throttle forwards again. over the detent, and this time it works. Hmmmm. I've attached a track. As I don't have a split throttle or detent on my throttle I have to use key commands when I want to operate the left and right throttle independently. Cheers! emergency restart problem.trk

Here's mine (with same caveats as cichlidfan!)... Latearrivals Weapon Type Reference.pdf

You should download 1.1.0.8 and do a clean reinstall EDIT - sniped. Blimey that man is quick

Quite right too Kenan. Directionally challenged bombs, then?

What Kaiza said. Quote from that link: "cdkeyexpress (click here for forum discussion) – do not buy from them, like the shop above they offer Steam gifts, which are paid over some fraudulent methods that leave you with a disabled account"

Displaying of full version number slated for 1.1.0.9 :) http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1244138&postcount=6

GG, are you saying that a future release is going to have some sort of system for encouraging us to use the most cost effective weapons for the job? (two "isn't"s in one sentence is testing my logic ;) )

I've lost count of how many times this (very reasonable) question has been asked. Can't we just have the full version number displayed on the loading screen rather than buried in it's currently obscure place?

My three year old son saw me watching the video and came over to watch. A10C videos are usually pretty harmless so I let him sit on my lap. He started watching with me at about 1 minute 45 seconds, learnt a new word at 2 minutes 4 seconds and is now walking round the house proudly exclaiming, "The man said xxxx" over and over. I'm just glad he'd jumped off my lap before 2 minutes 16 seconds or he might have learnt an even better word... LOL. Great vid.

Thank for you taking the time to reply NomDePlume. I'll set mine to 256/128 as suggested. Cheers!

Guys, I did ask this elsewhere but in the wrong place so I hope it's cool to ask this here in this thread. In multiplayer setup options there is a network speed drop-down list. Assuming this setting is functional, what effect does it have? Assuming the numbers are download/upload speed, is the unit of measure Kilobytes/Second (KB/s)? e.g. Does "ADSL 256/128" mean you have a max download & upload speed of 256KB/s & 128KB/sec? What speeds are represented by "LAN 1" and "LAN 10"? My average download speed is 800KB/sec and upload 80KB/sec. What should I set the connection speed too in this drop down box? Cheers!
