Thanks, i dont have any other games on my sim PC apart from DCS, so should not be an issue

Hi, as title, how does the launcher know which version to launch?

Hi, as title, have recently rented a server for me and some friends and having some issues understanding exactly how and where various mods are installed......Is there an easy way to work this out? Or do I need to labouriously contact each mod maker and ask them? What differentiates a client side and server side mod as well? Thanks

Hi, what is this patch you refer to and is it available to us?

As title...firstly quad views..had to un install as it was iun useable with it on...weird distortions and jaggy vibrating images where the hi res window is looking. Only getting 25 - 35 FPS in instant action now when before, it would be 36 - 60 i thought the patch was delayed to prevent showstoppers like this?

I use a trackball, with only 2 mouse buttons, so thats not going to work for me.......

Thanks, got that...but have another question....what does "mouse aim" (mouse btn 2) actually do? Pressing it or not seems to make no difference, I move the weapon around with the mouse and fire with the LMB....... Guess the only way to bind "Left alt C" to anything is using joy to key or similar?

Thanks, except it does not work like that for me. Once set drifting, the only way I can get him to stop is to press "Hover" again. I have carefully checked this several times.......I dont use toggle the AI pilot as from a hover, its very easy to have the aircraft tip over or drop suddenly as soon as you press that button....there seems to be some de synch going on between where he thinks the controls are and where they actually are. Of course this is a PC bug, not your app bug I guess.....

So I have bound my keys and the weapon is deployed and I can look down the sight, but I cant seem to move it at all? I am using RMB for aim & LMB for fire.... Am I missing something?

As title, when I try and bring up the Predator drone feed ( or other available feeds) using the init button on the co pilots side, my exported MFD for that side only, does not show anything, just a blank screen.......its there in cockpit, just not on my screens. I run 2 1024 x 768 screens for the Apache and Kiowa screens

Great app Bailey, however I have another issue.....I dont use a normal mouse, instead, I use a trackball, so it has no middle mouse button.....this gives me issues with using drift left or drift right as I am unable to stop the drift except by drifting in the opposite direction....so I never become fully stopped....... Any ideas how to work around this? Thanks!

Well, I have been playing DCS since 2015 and never NOT been able to use it because of a release that breaks the whole thing......... Anyway, the simple point is that we all understand delays and reasons for them. Thats a given. We all understand EA and bugs .....Just manage it better by adopting a simple scenario of not giving release dates until a patch is completely tested with no showstopping bugs.....then give a date a week hence, test it some more, and release it!!! everyones happy!!! Its the continuingly being told one one thing and getting another that pisses people off.....dunno why ED cant see that.....

THis!!!!! It's so simple!!! Then you dont piss off your customers.....

The thing is...what do you call "broken" ? Every single release and update breaks other stuff or ships with as yet undiscovered bugs........thats just the nature of the game. So waiting until its not "broken" is simply waiting for something that will never happen......I guess what you mean is less broken.....

Hi both, thanks for answering....although conflicting answers! Skatezilla, if I do this will it give me any kind of performance hit? Also, where is the monitor .lua file you mention? I just had a hunt and could not find it in my saved games of the config folder in the main install folder....thanks

Seems like a slamdunk to me.....Polychop may be a small operation, but does not mean we should not hold them to the same high standards. DCS needs all the performance help it can get and it should be a basic requirement of 3rd party devs ( and ED!) that texture are efficiently made and optimized......So what if it will take a long time, I think they need to look at giving the overhaul it should have had all along. Another niggle for me is the complete lack of any voiceovers in the training missions.....really lazy....... That said, it is a great little helicopter with a lot of potential........just wish it had the same love and attention to detail poured into it, that say Heatblur do......especially at the price point we paid

Interesting, thanks......any guesses where I should place this and in what format in the .lua file? ( Presumably the winwing .lua file that is selected within DCS options for teh MFDs to be exported?

Solved using winwing remote assistance....issue was with SAP and javascript, re installed new version and good to go

Update: remote assistance from winwing has solved this issue, thanks

Thanks, I do have an update...after I restarted DCS with the "use system resolution" unchecked, I got the following when running in VR: So thats different from what I first reported....better, although I have no exported MFD's, they are just showing my desktop on the 3 screens.....

Hi asked the following in the winwing section and was pointed here for better likelyhood of an answer.....: Has anyone here managed to get these working correctly with VR? Mine work great in 2D, but if I run in VR, instead of the displays showing the MFD exports, they show the cockpit, my main monitor displays the sky "above" the cockpit. I use a widescreen monitor which is 5120 x 1440, and have the 3 screens set in windows to the side of the main monitor in a row, so the resolution DCS runs at is 7424 x 1440. ( to run the MFD screens in 2D I have not changed this resolution when running in VR. I did have the special option for the monitor mirror checked to run DCS system resolution. I tried unchecking this but it did not seem to help. EDIT: Once restarted, DCS does render on just the main monitor, in a much reduced small screen ( fine by me) BUT...the MFD's do NOT show any exported data.... Even though I use VR, it would be great to be able to see the screens exported as my headset easily allows me to see outside, a facility I use a lot..... Is there a way to make this happen? So what exactly is the relationship between DCS , its on screen "mirror" while in VR, being able to export stuff to MFD's etc? Here is a screen grab of what I get now:

Perfect, thanks buddy...

For clarity, just tried re installing again and I dont have this issue anymore. ( Replaced by a different one, see new thread!) Thanks all

I have had mine for over a year, and used to have the Real simulator base. I am shortly taking delivery of the Tianhang Pro base and grip though. I have really enjoyed the winwing base and dont have any real complaints once I had it dialled in with the sim app pro software.....I can for sure recommend it, and if you are interested will be selling my base ( and EX grip) as soon as the Tianhang arrives.......let me know if you are interested, can do a good price... In case you are interested in why I am upgrading, its not because I dislike the winwing grip, its just I am a terrible gear hound and the Tianhang offers some great features, so I am trying it out..... I found the winwing fairly similar in use to the Realsimluator offering, which does of course have much more versatile software and some extra features ......My main issues with the RS items were problems with the bluetooth connectivity, which is why I sold it and moved onto the winwing......I have not noticed any lack of sensitivity around the centre as you mentioned.....
