It probably means that your BS2 Upgrade key is already registered on your computer. You can install the BS2 upgrade like any other module, at least the last time I checked. The only requirement is that you have installed BS1 before. You probably need to keep the full installation directory around. My solution to this problem was to buy a full BS2 in one of the sales. Probably you should post installation & activation problems in the customer support forum.

Once DCS will support two players with the L-39, a Ka-52 module would seem reasonable. I guess it would be significantly cheaper to develop than an entirely new module and it would be an instant buy for a lot of Ka-50 veterans here.

I haven't read a single post indicating that this won't work. I myself installed the englisch BS1 download version using a german key. So you should be fine.

Dafür bräuchtest Du eine Deutsche Upgrade Version.... die gibt's aber nach meinem kurzen Check nicht... bei den englischen und russischen Versionen gibt's die... D.h. Du musst wahrscheinlich darauf warten, bis die Upgrade-Keys von DCS:World akzeptiert werden. Dann wird's hoffentlich keinen großen Unterschied zwischen Voll- und Upgradeversionen mehr geben..

Bei den Tracks muss man genau auf die Version achten, da die wahrscheinlich einfach nur die Ausgangssituation und die Eingaben aufzeichnen. War bei BS1 ganz lustig, die mitgelieferten Demo Tracks mit 1.02 anzusehen.... irgendwann passen die zurückgespielten Eingaben nicht mehr zur Situation und der Shark wird grundlos in den Boden gelenkt.

Die Trainingsmissionen von BS2 sind von der Community... daher musstest Du die Dinger auch erstmal vom Forum laden... für BS1 gab's nur Videos... und es fand sich bisher niemand, der die übersetzen würde. Da das aber eher technisches Englisch ist, sollten Schulkenntnisse für das Wesentliche ausreichend sein... einfach mal probieren! Ich spiel' nur die englischen Versionen... die deutsche Übersetzung von BS1 war z.B. nicht so überwältigend und die Patches gibt's in der englischen Version immer deutlich früher.

Das Handbuch für BS1 auf Deutsch gibt's unter: http://files.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/59615/ Ich hab' in das BS2 Handbuch noch nicht reingeschaut... sollte ziemlich identisch sein. Deutsche SP Missionen gibt's nicht so viele, aber es gibt deutsche Geschwader, die Dir sicherlich auch gerne im MP behilflich sind: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=40641

I want to map the "Autopilot BARO/RALT altitude hold mode" to a 3-way switch, more specifically to the autopilot switch on the warthog throttle. For 2-way switches like the laser standby the following works fine {combos = {{key = "JOY_BTN25"}, }, down = iCommandPlaneLaserRangerOnOff, up = iCommandPlaneLaserRangerOnOff, name = "Laser standby On/Off switch", category = "Ins Targeting Mode Controls Panel PVR"}, One problem with the baro/ralt switch is, that the function "CommandHelicopter_PPR_BAR_RV" moves the switch from the down position directly to up and not back to center. Any ideas? I guess someone already solved this problem, but I just could not guess the right search string for it.

The torrent is here: http://riseofflight.com/Forum/download/file.php?id=27604 well hidden in community -> useful files

I tried to seed my installation file (ROF_ICE_Unlimited_Demo_1021b.exe) just to find out, that they use different files in the torrent... stupid move. That might explain the bad torrent performance to a certain extent. I always used this method for DCS when http was faster than torrent.

I had to send my first TM:Wathog back, because one LED was already dead on arrival. Seems to be a more common problem.

If you decide quickly, you can still get the Iron Cross Edition on sale for 9.99: http://riseofflight.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=27729

There's a review of 1.04 over at SimHQ http://simhq.com/_air14/air_514a.html which has a list of helicopter specific aerodynamics covered by TOH. It's basically saying, that while there have been substantial improvements to the FM it still has a long way to go to be comparable to DCS:BS... but there is hope! Would be great to get to a level of realism in ARMA, where missions (like in real life) would require specialists to command tanks and to fly airplanes and choppers! @Dwarden: are there current plans to update the demo? (which still is v1.02)

You need to buy an activation code for the update http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?end_pos=1322&scr=shop&lang=en

Tried the steam version with wine 1.3.37... menu and mission editor are working, but it crashes while loading the main game, when the progress meter reaches about a third. But wine generally is not so bad... I just read that Portal 2 and IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 are working nicely (downloading steam versions right now..) ... ARMA II is beginning to work somewhat... so it will be another year till it is playable. So I would guess, that with some support from the developers it should be realistic to make dcs wine compatible... but since they use starforce this probably won't happen.
