I'll play along. Onward 1999! Any more pics of Ricardo'ized aircraft laying around? Anybody?

Update After having run the updater a couple of times I could see the download progressing each time. After the 3rd run it completed. I think this hash error may just be the download stalling out.

My current version shows as 6120. When I run the updater it tells me there is a new version available. I start the update and a couple of minutes into it I get this: Can't download object http:\\update.eagle.ru/dcs/objects//a0/a0595cb9fceddad925729c6750f02272578fae1161caaa0641a4016a89f1781e:hash mismatch

Looks like ED purchased Ricardo's work. It may become the default if they bought all his pits. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1567796&postcount=58

Good move. Integrating Ricardo's work will give those old pits a nice face lift. :thumbup:

Don't let off the weapon release button until it drops. The EO TIME message is just to inform you that the AGM65's have been powered on for a while. Hit the ACK osb to clear it.

@Witchking Part of the explanation given for the re-release of FC was to fill the fighter gap in DCSWorld until third party aircraft are available. To delay it to add more stuff would seem to defeat that purpose.

IMHO they both made this choice based on potential profitability. The mud hen will sell a lot of copies.

Sounds like you should get a checklist. Here's one you can try. http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/w/images/8/88/DCS_A-10_COLD_START_CHECKLIST.pdf There are others around.

The idea is that you are not putting this under STEAM. DCS World is not a part of STEAM and wont activate through STEAM. The install will be separate from STEAM. I'm not a STEAM user so I can't help much with your activation code part. Maybe somebody who is will jump in.

So let me try to help... The old stand alone versions of DCS A10 is not going to be updated any more. All the aircraft are now modules that plug into DCS World. (Combined Arms for ground vehicles) So you want to download and install DCS World. It is free and comes with the SU-25T built in. Then you download and install the A10 version the plugs into DCS World. So keep in mind the plugin version is not the same as the stand alone version. You don't need to buy A10 again. You will use the activation from the stand alone version.

Meet the new Hydra - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Precision_Kill_Weapon_System Here's hoping Ed can make a pass through the sims weapons at some point. I'm sure as CA matures and new aircraft come online some of this will be addressed.

I've had this one happen a few times now. In the F10 screen I click the arty unit and the target marker I placed earlier appears. I click and hold the mouse button and drag the target reticle to the new location <CRASH> It doesn't happen every time or even most of the time. I moved markers for arty and MRLS units at least 10 times before this crash. I'm wondering if it has something to do with where the unit is in its firing cycle at the moment I drag the targeting reticle. crash.zip

My guesses... Heat issue. Cooler -> CPU as well as Fan -> Cooler Check the video card cooling as well. Connection issue. Pull the video card. Do some gentle cleaning on it. Same with the cable connection. If you use a KVM switch or extension cable, they are notorious for this sort of graphic glitch. (not the rebooting though) Power issue. That sad old PS can't quite drive the rig anymore. Why now right after a cleaning? Who knows, but it happens. Good luck!

The great thing about having all these parts (DCS/FC3/CA) in the mix, is that we get to decide for ourselves what we want. Each squad, server, builder, and indiviual. More options is better.

I'm still air cooled too. This site has a fairly complete comparison. http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=2664&page=7

The night version is crashing as well. Just had it happen my last 2 tries. ...also the trigger flag for SEAD 1 is wrong. It is set to 1 and should be 51. Since 1 is used to activate some RED units, it's bad in more ways than one. This is the same flag SNAFU as mission SP-US Company Night Advance - Kutaisi.miz. Did WAG's build these? Seem like something a producer would do ;)

I want any model other than the T. Make a highly detailed A, SM, TM, 39, etc and I'm there.

The CA mission "SP-US Company Night Advance - Kutaisi.miz" has a trigger named "CAS ORBIT" that is the radio call for the CAS birds to break orbit and attack. It is currently setting FLAG 1=TRUE. It needs to be changed to FLAG 10=TRUE for the mission to work as designed. As it is now it not only fails to call in the CAS but it triggers RED side reinforcements.

The update to Ricardo's mod for the TOAD is quite nice... http://files.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/178856/ Just keep in mind that some mods will cause you problems connecting to multiplayer games.

The TOAD has new external sound.

Yep Wolfie hit it... There are real targets, those units placed on the map. Then there is a switch you can flip to have "civ traffic" driving around on the roads. They are not real. They have no collision detection, like trees. So while you can lock and fire a mav at them it will not track, and even if it did the truck would not be harmed because it's just window dressing.

They almost never miss. I would suspect you're not locked on the mover. Are you sure your not just ground locking the mav or hitting the boat switch and making it force correlate?

My understanding is that when they reach a specific development milestone, they will.
