I'm definitely immediately buying any module that comes out, even if it's just to support the developer. However, I hope I have the funds when the time comes. I'm still a student and thus I'm low on money a lot of times...

Please do release before the 29th of May :D I've got exams aswell, could use the MiG to kill the time between studying :smartass:

Awesome news! Good luck with finishing your already amazing product! One question: is the website http://www.dcs-mig21.com still the correct one, or is there a new site?

I bought FC3 after the Beta and the order number redeemed correctly.

Valve and refunds? Hahaha that would be unique :D

And what about DCS modules bought through steam? Bought the A-10C, UH-1H and CA at full price there. And bought DCS P-51D through retail, only item I bought at a sale price is Black Shark 2, during the Steam summer sale...

Wags mentions something about registering previously bought modules, but does anyone know what he means exactly? I bought both FC3 and MI-8 through the DCS site, and all other modules at full price through Steam, so I'd like I'd guess that should be enough for at least 20% bonus for my next purchase, right? -- EDIT -- Oh, haha, I'm the third one to ask this, didn't see the other guys asking :D

Yay, lot's of Dutch people here :) (I'm from Giethoorn, Overijssel). We should request our own Dutch language forums :D

Make sure the RAM you buy is in the mainboard's Supported Memory list! My previous PC had RAM that wasn't supported, and that resulted in BSOD's after sleep mode.

Not interested, got my own gaming rig and no money, but you might want to add your location in your post. This is an international community, and sending packages to different countries is sometimes really expensive...

You got a PM :) Redeem link is sent, thread may be closed/ignored :)

Don't know if you turn your PC completely on and off, or set it in sleepmode? I put set my PC to sleepmode often, and when I wake it again, the CH pedals aren't recognized properly. I then need to go to the CH Control Manager, click the calibrate/test button and press 'Rescan'. You can plug the USB cable out and back in too. CH Rudder Pedals have a driverproblem which causes this lack of recognition. Seriously? I've once set up my controls and never had to do that again, even after a few updates.

Hi all, Got this game in a Humble Bundle, but already own it, so I'm gifting it. Don't know if there is any interest, but first to come first to get. Game on Metacritic: http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/sid-meiers-civilization-iv So as I said, first to come, first to get. Please reply to this thread when interested :). I then will send you a link through PM so you can redeem it. NOTE: ONLY REDEEMABLE THROUGH STEAM!! Cheers, Koekemoeroetoe

Where can I get your address to send it to? :megalol: Thanks, didn't know that part of this site existed:smartass:

Hi all, I was wondering how the reputation system on this forum works, but I couldn't find any info on it through the search system etc. Can someone explain it a bit to me? I see some people have a lot of green squares as rep, some just one, some lots of red squares. Do the amount of squares increase as the user posts more posts? Do they only increase when given reputation points? And when you get reputation points/power (I appear to have three of them?), where can you see what someone said about/to you and about which post it was? Sorry if I ask something stupid ;) Cheers, Koekemoeroetoe

Did you try to run the updater as administrator?

Yup, all good. 1.2.6.<lots of nines> seemed merely an Auto Updater - update. After updating, the thing asks to update to 1.2.7.

Yeah, will have some patience... What I found weird though, is that the Steam version of DCS World already started updating, but the stand alone version not yet. It's the first time in all my gaming years that Steam actually was faster with updating a game than the stand alone version.

My DCS World doesn't detect there is a newer version yet, although the 1.2.7 version is available to download through the ED site... :(

I'd want to, but I "can't" fill in your survey, because: - Question 2: My pc had different ages (CPU, Mainbord and half of my RAM are 2 years old, other half of RAM is 1 year old, GPU and Case is 6 months, PSU is 1 month old and HDD is 2 months old) - Question 4: I'm not buying a complete new PC, only upgrading, so none of the options suite my answer - Question 5: None of mentioned, I look at all of those + performance you get for the price you pay - Question 6: See Q4, Im not buying a complete new PC. I probably will buy new parts/extra within the next year though. (E.g. second GPU for SLI or a SSD)

Playing a flight sim with a controller? Can't see how that should work out. Best thing is to use a proper joystick for flying, most joysticks have dedicated 'sliders' which are used for throttle, and a so called 'twist grip' for rudder control. What I hear what is a good joystick is the Logitech 3D Extreme Pro, but there are cheaper joysticks. If you can afford it though and flight sims interest you, get a HOTAS joystick (seperate stick and throttle control, like the Saitek X52 or Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog). If you want to stick with the gamepad, try binding the axis you'd like for throttle. How to (dunno if you know this): On the main DCS screen go to options -> Controls. For 'Layer' choose SU-25T. For 'Category' choose Axis Commands. Then select the column which has your Gamepad's name, double click the field that corresponds with 'thrust'. You'll get a pop up, now move the axis on the gamepad which you would like to use as throttle. When it's recognized, click OK and again OK, which takes you back to the main screen. Note: If you want to play a 'real' sim, like the A-10C, a gamepad just won't do. Then buy yourself a HOTAS joystick. Hope I helped you with this post, if not, tell me :)

With that budget I'd go for a SSD + RAM upgrade, would leave the GPU for what it is. Don't know the prices in your country, here in the Netherlands a SSD + RAM upgrade can be achieved for about €150 - €200 (so roughly $200 - $300)

muamshai, what budget for upgrades do you have?

Usually stutter is caused by low FPS and/or high frametimes. Both causes are themselve caused by a too weak GPU (in your case a 9600GT, which is really old and slow for now a day games). A RAM upgrade + GPU upgrade should make the game playable on at least lowest settings. What you might try before upgrading: - Set textures to the lowest setting (textures use VRAM => the memory on your GPU VRAM full == stutter) - Turn of MSAA (really important, can easily double your framerate!) - Turn of HDR (lighting is usually extremely GPU intense) Long story short, try to turn down all of your settings as low as possible, if it doesn't help, an upgrade of your PC is required.

Have you tried binding the buttons in the TrackIR settings outside DCS? I've set the toggle buttons on my Saitek X52 for the centering and pause functions through the TrackIR interface, and they work perfect in DCS. Just open "TrackIR v5" from your programs and bind the key you want to the function you want. You can do this on the left side of the TrackIR screen, where it says "hotkeys".
