Sweet! I've put down my pre-order as well!

Right-side orientation would work without a hitch, I would assume, as I had that configuration before flying BMS. However, with BMS, this would be very messy since the UI screen forces a screen resolution change to the main screen and any screen(s) to the right. Because of this, multi-monitor BMS users prefer a left-side orientation as the resolution change won't affect anything to the left of 0,0 coordinates. I guess nobody in DCS uses a left-side orientation? What I would like to do is to set up 0,0 to either stay at the red arrow or be at the upper-left of monitor #2, but the game seems to only select either the red arrow or the blue arrow. It also seems to prefer either just using 5896x1080 resolution (just the main Surround screen) to display the game or use the 9736x1080 resolution (all three screens).

Is the website down? How did you guys order this mod?

How come my warning levels are still there even if the rule in question has been removed?

Hello! I'm trying to get my setup working but coming back to DCS after many years away and I'm totally lost. I've installed Helios 1.4.2019.0317, I've added Capt Zeen's Hornet profile, got it set up, but now I'm stuck trying to configure my .lua file to work. As you can see above, this is my setup. #1 is my main monitor which is 3x 1920x1080 monitors on Surround with a bezel-corrected resolution of 5896x1080. Since this is the main monitor, I expect the upper-left corner (red arrow) to be 0, 0 and this seems to be the case most of the time. #2 is my main touchscreen which is directly under the center-top monitor and #3 is my secondary touchscreen which is located to the left of #2 and under the left-top monitor. The setup looks like so: I am working from Capt Zeen's original .lua file _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('2_monitors_FA18C'); Description = 'Right, Left, RWR, IFEI, UFC, and AMPCD in right monitor' --TOTAL DEL VIEWPORT Viewports = { Center = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 1920; height = 1080; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 16/9; } } --LEFT LEFT_MFCD = { x = 2078; y = 165; width = 330; height = 311; } --RIGHT RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 2890; y = 165; width = 330; height = 311; } -- RWR F18_RWR = { x = 3086; y = 600; width = 150; height = 150; } --AMPCD CENTER_MFCD = { x = 2482; y = 572; width = 315; height = 300; } --IFEI F18_IFEI = { x = 1972; y = 630; width = 430; height = 167; } --UFC F18_UFC = { x = 2458; y = 25; width = 380; height = 216; } UIMainView = Viewports.Center My intention is to only use #1 and #2 for DCS, leaving #3 for other stuff like TeamSpeak and monitoring programs. When I set the Center width to be 5896 in the .lua file and set in-game resolution to 5896x1080, DCS displays the game in monitor #1 as would be normal. When I set the in-game resolution to 7816x1080, instead of keeping the red arrow as 0,0 and just bump the picture by 1920 pixels to the left or right, the game instead bumps the whole thing 3840 pixels to the left and now, the blue arrow becomes 0,0. The game now fills monitors #3, #2, and 2/3rds of #1 leaving the rightmost monitor showing the desktop. Viewports = { Center = { x = 1920; y = 0; width = 5896; height = 1080; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 737/135; } }With the .lua file set up as above, it still starts 0,0 at the blue arrow and just bumps the picture by 1 monitor to the right. Viewports = { Center = { x = 3840; y = 0; width = 5896; height = 1080; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 737/135; } }With the above setup and changing the in-game resolution to 9736x1080, it bumps the UI by 2 monitors so the UI is now displayed in monitor #1 but obviously the game has also taken over the two touchscreens. Any suggestions appreciated!

I got 3x 1920x1080 monitors with a combined, bezel-corrected resolution of 5896x1080. I would like to be able to zoom out a bit more in certain cockpits. For example, I like the FOV when in single monitor setup in the A-10C. When going to my multi-monitor setup, my FOV is zoomed slightly more closer to the HUD. Now in the single monitor setup, I can zoom out more but in the multi-monitor setup, I can't. How can I enable a bigger FOV for the multi-monitor setup? BTW, I'm not looking to make a 3-camera setup, just 1-camera but bigger FOV. Any help appreciated! Thanks!

Coming back to DCS in preparation for the arrival of the Tomcat and it's nice to feel excited about DCS again! Going from a 1920x1080 res and adjusting the res to fill my 5896x1080 Eyefinity setup, I noticed that the cockpit fonts seem to have gained some thicc-ness to them. In the linked pic, it's not only the HUD but even the MFD fonts look a bit fatter. Anyone else experienced this? How can I fix this to return to the original font width? Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks for the replies guys! Seems like £30 is what is to be expected. Did everyone that got hit with import taxes order through Andre? Cowboy, djblaen, and Axion, when did you guys order your seats? Thanks again!

Hello! I'm wondering if anyone here is in the UK, has ordered the Jet Seat (908 ), and was hit with import duties? I just want to know how much I should be bracing myself for if I get one of these. Thanks!

Quick question: Where am I supposed to put the four folders under \DCS World 1.2.7\Mods\aircraft\Su-27\Missions\EN ?? a. \DCS World 1.2.7\Mods\aircraft\Flaming Cliffs\Missions\EN\FC2 b. \DCS World 1.2.7\Mods\aircraft\Flaming Cliffs\Missions\EN c. \DCS World 1.2.7\Mods\aircraft\Flaming Cliffs\Missions\EN\Training Or a different folder entirely?

I'm stumped. I cannot seem to get the default FOV that I want. I can set a snap view to what I want, but when using TIR, I don't get that view/FOV. When TIR is off, that's when I get my view/FOV using Keypad Enter. I've tried editing the SnapViewsDefault.lua and the SnapViews.lua in both the DCS/Config/View folder and in the Saved Games\DCS\Config\View folders, no joy. Why does ED keep on changing things? One version my stuff works, the next they don't! Any help appreciated.

Using SoftTH as I am using different-sized monitors but never had this problem before. Basically, my mouse does not "click" on anything that is under it, but I have to offset it to the right and down a bit so that the button I want to press (on the menus) gets pressed. A really big pain in the ass!! This only happens once I commit to 3D and SoftTH takes over, no problems at all on the initial menu screen that is only 1920x1080 res. Any help appreciated.

I am specifically looking for the Su-27/Su-33 training videos, in high definition. I know there is one that you can download off the DCS website and "install" into the game, and then there is the [/b][/color][/url], but these are all low-res videos. I remember way back there were videos of at least 720p resolution available. Help!

What's the performance hit? Does it get better/worse with altitude?

+1 to this! Thanks!

Thanks for this! I managed to use it properly last time, but now it seems that I've lost all the "tabs" when I start it up. I just end up with the Misc tab and no way to access or edit the A10 or BS tabs. Also, each time I start it, it asks me if I want to install the A10 LUAs, I say yes, but no joy anyway. Still broken. Any help?

Is it possible to "hide" the cyclic/stick so that it is not shown in the cockpit? I'm sick and tired of having to look up/around it to access the switches that are hidden from my view. Thanks!

What is DEP? I'm not worried about losing activations though :) Thanks!

How do I get rid of all traces of this sim? I wish to uninstall, delete everything, saved profiles, saved games, etc. and start over from scratch. I've modded so much stuff I can't remember which is which so I backed up my DCS World folder, but is there anything else I need to backup? Then I plan to wipe all trace of the game from my computer and start fresh. Thanks!

I wonder what FPS people are getting with DCS BS2? I have a 7970 GHz edition 3GB card and have a total resolution of 4480x1080 for the game display and 1920x1080 for instrument and Helios display. When not using Helios, I get 20-30fps, although I got about 15fps last night with 4 Ka-50s on a small FARP, but that was sorted once we got in the air. I have the top lights, Shkval, and ABRIS exported to my instrument monitor. When using Helios, even just one gauge, I get 12-15fps... although I am using the older version of Helios. (EDIT: updated to 1.3 version and still get low fps) My game settings have graphics set to the preset High config, with water set to low. Any help with optimizing my fps and confirmation of fps when using Helios (old or new version) would be appreciated. Thanks!

E:\DCS World is exactly where DCSW is installed. It still says "Can not find game install."

Can anyone tell me what to put in the Install Path entry? Thanks!

I have trouble adding DCS A10C or DCS BS2 as an interface in Helios. Both games show up in the selection, but the Profile Editor will complain about "install path not found"... can anyone tell me the proper path so that Helios recognizes DCS World/A10C/BS2? Trying Helios on my setup (19"-24"-19" display using SoftTH with a combined res of 4480x1080 plus one 22" 1920x1080 touchscreen) and I go from 30fps to 13-16fps on a custom training mission with nothing but 1 Ka-50, 6 tanks, and 6 BMPs. That's right, I lose about 50% of my framerates, and that's with graphics set at medium. I'm using a XFX 7970 GHz edition 3GB card. Any suggestions as to where to start looking to get some framerates back? Thanks!
