[Looking to build a simple button box]

I would start here

Hi Bignewy. Really thanks for the link. But, I can't receive response via e-mail from LeoBodnar. Long time I've been thinking to create a cockpit, but can't find joy controllers around here. Do you think that they would send their products to Turkey?

[Forced to get out of cockpit! :)]

What server was that on Devrim?

I can check it when at home (at work rightnow), but it must be Virtual Acrobatics or one of Free Flight (including Hawk!) servers.

[Forced to get out of cockpit! :)]

Thanks guys. It's now cleared. :)

 

There is an annoying bug where if someone doesn't have a aircraft module and tries to spawn into that aircraft in MP, the game spawns an AI and the slot is un-usable until the AI is removed from the mission...

I think I saw this part of it tonight. I mistakenly clicked on A-10A module. After couldn't get in the cockpit, I realized and switched to an A-10C slot.

 

The A-10A aircraft spawned, made taxi and took off, flied and landed with my name. :)

 

While a subtitle was saying "Devrim took off from Kutaisi", in the same 10 secs it was saying "Devrim landed at Gudauta" :)

 

Funny...

[Forced to get out of cockpit! :)]

I hardly understand this. Is this my fault (flying into people) or...?

[Forced to get out of cockpit! :)]

Hi. The title may wrong to tell the problem; sorry. :)

 

Tonight in a multiplayer mission, while flying at 7000 meters with A-10C with autopilot, suddenly the screen was switched to another aircraft's F2 view. Surprised and hit F1 to go back to cockpit but I got no cockpit view because my A-10C wasn't in the air anymore. What?! Why?! How?! :D

 

It was like I never selected slot, got into A-10C and took off... A friend explained something about sync issue between server and me. And server decides to de-spawn me. :)

 

My setting was LAN of course...

It was weird...

[BS2 1.2.x bugs and glitches thread (not CTD/BSOD)]

...The burned out laser can be repaired, you just need to brake something on the heli first, if nothing has been damaged, if only the laser burns out it isnt registered as the helicopter being damaged, of course its still a glitch

Aaah, that's strange and funny. :) Thanks for the info.

[BS2 1.2.x bugs and glitches thread (not CTD/BSOD)]

Bouncing helicopter issue is not related with Ka-50 module though. Huey does bounce too. Similar, when I land on soil ground with Huey, helicopter can't land in a balanced attitude. Some say "you can't land properly". Ok, maybe I can't. But this doesn't indicate there's no any bug with the ground...

 

By the way; -I'm sure this has been mentioned before- the laser can't be repaired too. In a MP mission, my Ka-50 laser unit was broken. Just for the laser, RTB and repaired. But no luck with that. I changed slot and switched another Ka-50... :P

Your welcome. :)

[English speaking wingman?]

Hi. May be there's a good solution.

 

But for now I'm thinking this:

• Browse "...DCS World\Sounds\Speech\" folder.
  
• Rename "RUS" to anything ("_RUS" maybe).
  
• Copy & paste "ENG" in same folder. It will be "ENG - Copy" probably.
  
• And you can rename it to "RUS".

I didn't try it, but it should work. :)

[BS2 1.2.x bugs and glitches thread (not CTD/BSOD)]

I still have hope for that. :)

[Screenshots / Video...]

Screen shots are located in "{Username}/Saved Games/DCS/Screenshots/" folder.

 

Yes you can use Fraps to record screen. But it creates avi file format and it will be very high file size to upload anywhere. You must get a video process software (such as Sony Vegas etc.) to arrange/compress or do anything on it.

[Bomb effectiveness?]

In same mission; I just wanted to destroy a truck via GBU-12.

 

I'm rookie at bombing thing. It was very low pass. I dropped bomb, it exploded.

But the problem is that truck which can be killed by a single gunshot was alive (no any stracth!) and I took hit from explosion!

You can see the hole on ground, how close it is to truck...

 

Screenshot is this:

 

 

Do we have to direct hit?! for a truck, too? Is this realistic? Please!... :huh:

[RIP Nelson Mandela]

Rest in peace Mr. Mandela.

[Map object, Static Mi-8 model is ready for download]

Thanks. :) I realized it now.

 

Thank you Hungaro!.

[How do I know how many activation's I have left?]

Cool, I have about 9 activation's left for each module. I upgrade my computer every 3 years, so this means I'm ok for 27 years...

It's not necessary to think like that.

 

If you deactivate the module before upgrading your computer, you will not lose "activation". So, you can use your serial for years. :)

[DCSW - awesome]

...A-10 A = FC3 "Arkade" simulator

A-10 C = DCS Full simulator...

 

A-10 A = FC3 Arcade Simulator

A-10 C = DCS Complete Simulator

 

:D :P

[Multi-Keyboard Support]

Hmm. You may be right, but some softwares (such as AutoHotKey or HIDmacro) can determine each device according to registry number (I guess).

 

I believe ED can do that and DCS can distinguish the keyboards and show column for each one.

[Multi-Keyboard Support]

Please ED! Isn't it the time to do that?

 

I have no home cockpit and no chance to build one. Actually I have no chance to get a joystick controller for now. So, I need to use keyboards more than one!

 

Or is there anyone who knows a trick to teach DCS about another keyboard device?... :(

[Double strokes?]

Ahahahah! This must be a joke!

 

It makes sense to me. Because I'm a drummer. :D

 

 

[Improving Clickable Cockpit usability with head tracking]

...Any opinions? I would really like to be able to use the clickable cockpits, but as it is, it's nearly impossible to use with head tracking.

Eeer... Mmmm... I agree with you about the problem. So, that's why I assigned "Headtracker pause" to middle button of mouse.

 

If I need precise clicking, I just click middle mouse button, screen freezes and I can click where I want... That's my solution for now. :)

[Odd Story About "Invalid Serial Number"]

Right now we have good progress with 1.2.7 version but have decided to release small update 1.2.6 with 2 noticeable fixes.

 

Fixed StarForce protection bug with false virtual machine error.

The bug which prevented with normal work on the PC with Nvidia Optimus technology is fixed.

I wonder; Is this update related with this issue?...

[Upgrade]

I don't think he needs a newer graphics card, especially if current card has 1½Gb vRAM. At least it's not urgent to me.

 

But I agree about SSD. I have similar system any everything is OK with last version of DCS (v1.2.6u3). In my opinion, the data transfer (with 6GB/s) must have been sufficient, but unfortunately we need SSD devices. That doesn't make sense.

[Odd Story About "Invalid Serial Number"]

:D Right. Lucky serial.

[DCS 1.2.6 lag/freezing/fps drop "fix"]

Right. All done.

 

Before, initial loading time was near 2 mins. Now, initial or other loading times are the same. 20~30 secs.

[DCS 1.2.6 lag/freezing/fps drop "fix"]

Hi... SSD solution solved my problem.

 

I bought an SSD. I installed DCS World and modules. It's fresh install, so no any mod or tweak except for Ricardo's A-10C cockpit.

 

I was in a multiplayer server (with 8 aircrafts), a free flight (DCS Hawk etc). Mostly I encountered these issues in this server. So to test this configuration, rejoined this server again. No any stutter or freeze for now. FPS was running between 35~80.

 

Succeed!
