I'm sure this has been asked before, but after getting DCSW modules up and running presumably the stand alones can be uninstalled? Though as I have BS2U module, do I need to keep BS1 installed?

Am I the only one here totally confused? I downloaded 1.2.1 and the modules that I have licenses for (A-10 and BS2U), but have done nothing since I read all this about de/activations and poor fps issues. I was going to purchase P-51D too now that's final release, but can only so that with DCSW 1.2.1 I guess. Should I wait before updating to 1.2.1? If so, how long?

Presumably I just remove DCSW 1.2.0 by uninstalling "DCS World" from COntrol Panel> Programs and feature? This will remove my installed 1.2.0 modules (A-10 and BS2 Upgrade) too? I don't see a separate remove option for them.

You won't be :thumbup: I had the Hotas X and agree with all the other posts here, it's fine for FC2 but for A-10 it was a bit of a struggle. I now have the X-52 Pro + Saitek combat pedals and am a much happier bunny

Hi, I'm thinking about getting a gaming headset, primarily for DCS I want something that's not totally over the ears yet decent, and have seen Sennheiser PC 131 which look ok http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-PC-131-Headset-semi-open/dp/B000NH4EI4/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1342569284&sr=1-1 Can anyone comment on these? Or offer a similar alternative? Thanks

Yes, it's the disable aero setting in options. I get the alt-tab issue too

OK, so 'preload radius' makes no difference but I am now running with scenes high (was med) and I think I've seen a few fps improvement!! Must be my eyes, it's late in UK

I haven't noticed that much a performance increase, except on the ground I am now getting 40+ fps at Kobuleti. In the air it's about the same for me (Sitting Ducks is what I use to benchmark), though I haven't tried tweaking 'preload distance' yet. It's at max where it defaulted itself.

Thanks, always reassuring when you're not alone!

anyone tried this with 1.2.0?

Hi, Just installed DCSW 1.2.0 + A-10C + BS2U and all is well. Except on starting a flight, if I try to click on a button in cockpit using my mouse (e.g. an OSB on MFCD) the game minimises (not crash) and I see my desktop with DCS on the taskbar. I click the taskbar object, I'm back in the game and clickable cockpit is all normal. Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks Panzertard, I'm very grateful for your reply. Will install to F: I'll be sure to rename the folder too, as per this thread http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=90986

Hi all, about to install the new DCSW 1.2.0, and on my rig my C:\ drive (where I have A-10C 1.1.1.1 and BS2 Upgrade 1.1.1.1 and BS1 1.0.2) has 58GB free. Whereas my F:\ drive (mostly pics & vids etc) is 730GB free! I guess it would be wise to install to F:\ but will the A-10C and BS2U modules for DCSW still find the license keys & activations for the stand-alones on C:\? I guess they would via the registry, but I've spent too many hours at my pc lately fixing issues! If it's gonna be a hassle, I'll install to C:\ Cheers

is it fixed in 1.2.0?

Thanks guys. Downloading now :)

How about game freeze the moment when CBU pickled? is that fixed?

Just to be sure before I balls it up, I have DCSW 1.1.2.1 + A-10C installed as a module. Do I simply download all the 1.2.0 files for DCSW and A-10C (and the BS2 upgrade as I have that also) from ED 'downloads' then uninstall the beta DCSW? Does this remove the installed A-10C module too? I guess that after updating all to 1.2.0 I can remove the 1.1.1.1 A-10C and BS2 upgrade? Cheers

Thanks cichlidfan, I tried searching 'deactivate' and drew a blank!

I understand that if I want to buy/build a new rig, that to play my purchased DCS titles on it I would need to deactivate the Starforce on the old, and then activate on the new using the license key I already have. This would deduct 1 from both deactivation and activation counts. How do you call the deactivate process? Thanks

The reason why I asked to start with, is I believe DCS World should be 'absorbing' my installed DCS products. I have yet to complete the campaign in A-10C, so losing my progress and stats is a nuisance I'd like to have the choice to avoid.

In the SP mission "Sitting Ducks" I hit pickle with CBU-97 selected, and the moment I hit pickle the game froze. I restarted the game, same mission hit pickle with 97 and freeze again. Standalone 1.1.1.1 is fine Core i5-750 4GB RAM HD5770 1GB TrackIR 5 Saitek X-52 Pro + combat pedals Win 7 HP 64-bit

Thanks for the info, I will check that out.

Will you be able to import logbooks from the standalone A-10C, BS1, BS2??

downloading now, will install tomorrow - tonight (like most Fridays) is beer and PS3 I'm afraid!! I can't drink and fly :)

+1 I was looking for a standalone too, and didn't expect to find it under P-51.
