  1. 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?
  2. 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?
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. Yes, it's the disable aero setting in options. I get the alt-tab issue too
  7. 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
  8. 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.
  9. Thanks, always reassuring when you're not alone!
  10. anyone tried this with 1.2.0?
  11. 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?
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. is it fixed in 1.2.0?
  15. Thanks guys. Downloading now :)
  16. How about game freeze the moment when CBU pickled? is that fixed?
  17. 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
  18. Thanks cichlidfan, I tried searching 'deactivate' and drew a blank!
  19. 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
  20. 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.
  21. 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
  22. Thanks for the info, I will check that out.
  23. Will you be able to import logbooks from the standalone A-10C, BS1, BS2??
  24. downloading now, will install tomorrow - tonight (like most Fridays) is beer and PS3 I'm afraid!! I can't drink and fly :)
  25. +1 I was looking for a standalone too, and didn't expect to find it under P-51.
