I have successfully exchanged my 2 serial numbers (BS1 _ BS2 update) for 1 serial number (BS2 full), but the portion of Technical Questions under Support on the main DCS webpage talks about needing to delete the BS2 update module and then installling the full BS2 module. when I go into my Module Manager, it appears that I already have the full BS2 module. Is the answer on this issue under Technical Questions out of date, or am I missing something in my Module Manager? Thanks!

How about with a RTX2070? any benefit from 32 GB RAM? Or would that be a waste for DCSW purposes? Of course, with a potential upgrade to 32 down the pike? Oh, and the significance for DCSW of 2666 MHz RAM, v. 3200 MHz or higher? Thanks!

Got it. Thanks! I'll keep this is mind as I think about future upgrades!

Thanks! I'm afraid that I do not have the Warthog stick or the MFDs. We're taking this a step at a time. Is there a way to determine what will work and what won't without the stick? Much appreciate the help. Daddy Schlich

Hi, I just purchased the Warthog Dual Throttle on sale, but plan to continue using my MS FFB2 stick because I love FFB with my helos. Does it make sense to try to use these profiles with this setup? Or are the presence of both the Warthog stick and throttle so integrated into them that use of them would just cause inordinate headaches? Thanks in advance for thoughts!

Thanks for the tip on the missions. And, presumably, if I have MiG-29 available with my particular version installed, it will include the updated flight characteristics? Daddy Schlich

Hi, I have DCSW 2.5.3.23225, the latest version, installed, and have FC3 as an installed module in the module manager. Su-27 for DCS World is listed as a module, but the button is to the left (green) indicating not installed. I understand from other posts is that that module listing is intended only for those who bought that module separately from FC3. So I could delete that module entirely and not lose anything, right? If that's right, the broader question is how do I know whether all of the FC3 modules, including the new MiG-29 modules are installed? Thanks for the help! Daddy Schlich

Excellent! Thanks! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Hi, I have both my Lockon Platinum DVD and my DCS: BlackShark DVD, and have both installed on my HD. My DCS online profile says I have Flaming Cliffs 3 (download version), and DCSW Module Manager says I have FC3 installed. My DCS profile says I have BlackShark 2 upgrade (download version), and DCSW Module Manager says I have the upgrade version installed. I know I have the separate Ka-50 original BS installed on my HD. At this point, can I uninstall? Or do I need to keep to the upgrade to work? Same question for any separate Lockon install?? Thanks!!

I recall that, at least at some point, you needed to have installed Lock-On as well as BlackShark (if you had bought that and then purchased BS2) if you wanted to have access to some of the modules in DCS World. Does that remain the case in DCS World 2.5? I still have them on my hard drive, but certainly don't play them any longer. Can I delete and not lose anything in 2.5? Thanks!!

Thanks, but quick question about being able to regularly switch between SR and OB with the updater command. I upgraded 1.5.8 OB to 2.5.2 OB (about 30 GB of new files), but then tried to revert back to 2.5.0 release and DCS_updater downloaded a new file set of 15 GB. Then I decided to switch back to 2.5.2 OB, and DCS_updater downloaded again about 30 GB of files. So I have one installation, but switching between OB and release is not "super easy" but quite painful. Others have said that I need two separate installs, which I understand is a logical way of doing this (and consistent with my having had 1.5 and 2.0/2.2 alpha installed at the same time, but one installation would use much less hard drive space. What am I missing here? I've seen inconsistent references to whether any changes need to be made to the Windows registry - with most saying "no." And DCSW works with no changes. Is that the key, or am I misunderstanding? Thanks!!

Thanks, guys! I was afraid it likely was something like that. When I saw language saying that it was simple to shift between the two, I thought maybe there was a way of doing so simpler than keeping 1.5 and 2.2 alpha both installed. And, yes, I was thinking of having both 2.5.2 OB and 2.5.0 release available.

And then trying to change to openbeta via DCS_updater, downloading 30 GB of files -- presumably the second time today. There obviously is something I'm not understanding!

Probably obvious, but I'm having difficulty figuring it out. I updated from 1.5.8 open beta to 2.5.2 open beta. No problem! Then I used Skate Zilla's DCS Updater GUI Utility to "Update to Latest Release Version." 15 GB of files downloaded. Called up DCSW and 2.5.0. But I can't seem to switch between the two. And I only see one folder. What am I missing? Any help appreciated!! Daddy Schlich

Waited a day after receiving this error message, and update loaded without a problem! Presumably issued addressed by ED.

I have a MS FFB2, and I found that trim worked correctly (watching RCtrl-Enter, and feeling the aircraft) only when I unticked FFB in Options (which affects all modules not just F5E, right?) Why does that make sense? Am I missing something? Thanks!!

Thanks to both! SL PAK identified the issue. The Throttle grip was not all the way to the left, so even though I had completed the first step in the instructions on that page, the failure was not associated with the rotor brake even though that was where the yellow box was stuck. I had tried the mouse on the throttle and received no response, and the Collective wouldn't move, so I was at wit's end. However, as SL PAK suggest, I found that the PageDn key did work, which freed up the rest of the Training Mission. And it turns out that you need to right-click the mouse on the throttle so that the mouse wheel would work!! Again, thanks!

If I did this correctly, this small file should capture the issue: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zxme51oi86wrl9z/MI-8%20cold%20start.trk?dl=0

Art-J - had English cockpit enabled. However, when disabled, no difference in results. SL PAK - sorry, how do I provide a trk?

Sorry I was not clear. I receive those instructions on the screen. I can lower the Rotor Brake by either mouse-clicking over it, or using Rctrl-R. But the yellow highlighting over the rotor brake does not disappear, and there is no response to anything - such as collective, cyclic, or pedals. I've had Mi-8 for a while now. Do I need to do something to get a new version of the training missions? Thanks!

Hi, In 1.5.5.59992, the Cold Start training mission doesn't see my release of the rotor brake as the first step in the mission and won't allow me to move forward from there. It doesn't matter whether I moved the brake using a mouse click or Rctrl-R. Has anyone seen a similar issue? Thanks!

Yes, very generous offer to the community! Have pre-ordered NTTR, but the Hawk would be great! All the best!

Just wanted to note that the English training thread referenced by kontiuka includes instructions on how to "fix" the Training tab so that it actually references the Training Mission. So far as I can tell, C-101 installed successfully despite what happened when I attempted to install (see above) and what I noticed was an issue with the version of the C-101 module and not an unsuccessful install. HTH.

Yes, it is a startup mission. The audio is in Spanish; there is next-to-no English text on-screen during the mission, but the mission description (in English) directs you to the Quick Startup Guide, which has detailed checklists in English. I haven't tried going through the checklist to see whether I can successfully make it through the mission. HTH.

Hi, I just purchased the C-101 module during the flash sale. I went to download the module through the module manager. It downloaded almost the whole file - it got stuck for 15 minutes at 458 out of 460 GB. I then cancelled the download, figuring I would start again. But the module manager gave me the Install option. After installation, there is a Training tab, but no training missions listed. When I go into Missions, there is one Training mission. So I'm not quite there yet. What is the best way to recover/reset?? Should I remove the module through the manager, and re-download the module? Any other suggestions? Thanks for any assistance. Really looking forward to playing with this!!
