Draconus, As I said, "I guess this has to do with a new policy that I have missed?" In my module purchasing list, the older orders are still listed with serial numbers. But thanks for mentioning modules are now key-less. I will assume that means no more serial numbers. Laz ( At 80 years old I some times miss policy changes that I might have previously read. I find it somewhat difficult to memorize the numerous key assignments for the aircraft simulator controls. I will make it a point to remember none of my sim controls are key-less.}

Just noticed after purchasing F4-E, about half of the serial numbers on my purchased modules are no longer visible. I guess this has to do with a new policy that I have missed?

CageyLobster, Not picking sides but you said it...you voted with your wallet to not purchase any more from this source. I have experienced several very expensive changes after purchase, that totally negated said purchase value too me. Software is leased not owned. It appears to me the majority wanted those changes and me as a minority can pound sand. If they had wanted to keep me as a user they would have considered presenting options. My options were twofold: One; to not use their product, Two; to use it and deal with the frustration. I have also found in my 80 years, complaints usually fall on deaf ears unless they are enormously humorous. LAZ

I wonder what the progress is or who is doing Korean, Vietnam maps?? I know it's a almost a dead subject but has anyone seen, heard about MAC (Modern Air Combat)?

What map is used in this campaign?

Mustang Sally, Tried to get to the USA site but it is not available. Tried the Canadian site but it won't allow my US order. Same goes for the Australian site. The USA winwing ordering is not available...on their world map the USA button is grayed out. I am in the US so cannot order from the EU site. However WinWing said they will reverse my cancelled order......funny I did not cancel that order as the payment process did not complete so I did not think that order worked as I dont know what site out of frustration I used as I tried all. As it stands the order status is cancelled but as I mentioned they said they reversed the cancellation per my request. I have tried to complete that order but have been unsuccessful. Yes I have logged into their site every time. Laz

Just tried to purchase the Panel take off 2. Winwing ordering is a mess. It will default to the older take-off panel and states not available but the new model is listed as available. Today is 9/24/23. "Buy it now" is broken. Even if the item is in the cart, the popup keeps saying to select the item. Their help is also poor.

Any news on MAC that ED or even third party may be interested in developing this type of sim? Been 5 months from last entry.

When is the next stable version of DCS World to be released? About how many updates to the Beta version are done before they are rolled into the Stable version?

I purchased the F-18 handle from winwing. I had purchased what I thought was the package deal which would be Base, finger lifts and handle. I didn't get the handle. If do not get the package and order the handle winwing charges around 140.00 +ship. They have package deal of base and finger lifts and if you want the F-18 handle, it is 67.00. I emailed WinWing via their weird customer support, and was told ( Sherry [2023-03-20 00:13:26] Dear customer: as your order has been processed, this discount won’t be available anymore. Sorry about that. Thank you for your understanding.} So they would not give me the discount because they had already processed my order and decided they might go bankrupt if they allowed me the discount I should get...I had already spent over $1000.00 with them. About $60.00 they would reap but their indifference will cost 10 times that as I was going to order their Top Gun panel. No more business with WinWing.

If you have the handle only that will work. I would also entertain a broken t2-2 base with F-18 handle. I would also consider the T2-2 Base with the F-18 handle for a reasonable price. I am in the USA so consider shipping cost. Thanks, Laz

I have the R-8 Alienware with those specifications. I did not want to load DCS onto it until I was sure it would run satisfactorily. I would like to use VR. If it cannot run VR then it probably will not run using a monitor. The I9-9900k is very similar to the AMD Ryzen7 5800X released in 2000. I have another system, I9-10900K that has MSFS and IL2, Lockon and other flight sims. My I9-12900 system is for my CAD system. Sitting in the wings is my I9-13900K with a GTX4090 that I am waiting for the L shaped power connector fix. Was just curious if the R-8 would run DCS.

Will this configuration be adequate: I9-9900K, 32gb ram, RTX2080ti, 256gb nvme for OS, 2-500gb ssd's, 1tb hdd, 1Kpower and win11. Alienware R-8?

I am having this same type of problem on Discord.

I remember some time ago a member announced a finger mounted device that replaced the mouse in VR. I cannot find this information. I contacted this person and as I remember, got on his backorder list and I think filled a credit card app for purchase. Never heard from this member....? Can anyone fill me in on this? Thanks for your time. Laz

Key bindings, mods, hardware changes...all the things that show up that must be corrected. Again my thoughts are too have both versions which negates changing back and forth and having to use Skate Zillows to get the changes working. I know I can turn off updates. I suppose the updater is capable of seeing both installs and only work on the beta. When I first loaded DCS onto my do everything computer (long time ago) it became a nightmare. Had a lot of programs and devices which became a rats nest. Now I have dedicated computers. Easier to trouble shoot.

I installed the stable to start with. The stable should have less problems with configurations. My thoughts were to have a version( stable) that I can fall back on if the beta becomes inoperative. If I only have the beta then sometimes with the auto updates can cause havoc and ruin the numerous setups you painstakingly have made. As stated in my last post, the game currently is about 350 gb. I have to get a nvme with 2 Tb, I thought 500 gb would be large enough. I also need the beta now to run S Atlantic. I am going to purchase the map and the helicopter. I have almost all the modules.

I have the stable version installed. 2.7.14.24228 on a 500 gb ssd using 323gb. Drive "E" This is only DCS on this drive. 256 gb nvme with win10 using 50gb Drive "C" This is only win10. About 190gb left. Drive "D" is a 2tb hard disk that is empty. Will open beta also be 323gb? I do not want to use the hard drive, I want both open beta and the stable. Seems like I will have to replace the hard drive with a 2tb nvme ssd. I wanted to purchase the new S Atlantic map but it will not run on the latest stable version. Need the latest beta version. If I have both versions, and I purchase the new map will both versions use the new map? Don't know if the two separate versions will each find all the different modules I have?

I see where this topic is being ignored. So I will ask again to keep this subject alive..somewhat. What is going on with MAC ? Come-on guys. The squeaky wheel gets the attention. If those who are interested in MAC ask more often maybe it might lite a fire somewhere.

Is this project (MAC) dropped or perhaps a Manager can give or get informaion on this topic.

Prior to purchasing a number of aircraft for three other flight simulators, would someone who has communication with the upper management of DCS kindly ask if they intend to actually release their previously mentioned title MAC this year. Since a mention of this was to be announced last quarter, leaves me to believe they are close to release. Or should I go ahead with my other purchases. Laz

Do you ship to the USA? Do you take PayPal? Lazduc

End of year...Mac was to be out by now. How about a community mgr. check into this?

So...almost end of the year and there was supposed to be information on this....course like most proposed announcements, the sound of silence. I have heard news that several flight developers' have ported over to the console environment. Since newer gamming computers that are required to run flight sims, are unavailable. At least software ported to consoles are capable to run that and no need to worry about finding current equipment to run sims.

Any information on MAC ?
