Sounds a great and ambitious idea VapoR. Good luck with it.

I don't have my MFD mounted on a monitor. I simply assign functions to the buttons. I have designed a slip in card with the information on. My problem was that I could not see the writing when I was flying online at night. At the local Pound Shop I found 10 green LEDs with a battery box and a switch. This gave me an idea. I have mounted them on a piece of board behind the clear plastic. The green light now shines through onto the back of my thin printer paper inserts. Hope this helps somebody or gives them an idea. I realise that this is a very simple project and a mile away from the guys on this forum who are so skilled at recreating replica sim pit. Much respect to you guys. But it is a simple project for the beginner. Happy flying

Two things occurs to me BBQ As your missiles fire ok but then just go dead...off to one side 1. There is no 'TA' above the 'C' in the Skhval. So the electronics don't seem to have a perfect lock. 2. An interfering lazer would send your missile off...Is there another missile around or does the AI have a jamming effect? Hope that helps

Well BBQ a great effort all those flying hours to test the missions. It is great to see that the original work by the Vergeev Group is not lost. Thanks to all who had some part in it. Regards & Respect

Good to hear Groove. Thanks

I see multiplayer (and the flight hardened multiplayers) as 'long term bread and butter' DCS supporters. I have even bought modules in the past just to support the development. eg: Combined Arms and A10C just sit on my hard drive. It is in these servers where you find supporters writing complex triggers and innovative ways to develop missions. I enjoy every minute flying in them and take my hat off to those that regularly host and develop missions. I feel sure that many working for DCS and those volunteer testers also see the value in us hard core supporters. I look forward to the next update where stability has been addressed. Yes I bought Mil8 when it came out and yes DCS & Wags etc did read and act upon the comments in the forums. I believe they are reading these comments about multiplayer and are working their way towards resolving the problems.

..any news on what the next Mil 8 update will bring us? ...or alternative....what do us Mil 8 jockies want?

I am so impressed with the fidelity of the DCS World that you can 'feel' the difference between the three helicopters in the simulation. The Mil 8 is another high fidelity product and I enjoy the challenge of flying it. I am really looking forward to the campaign and the future improvements

Some good stuff here. Well done Skulleader your English was clear. I enjoy the Mil 8 and do fly online, although just free flight missions at the moment, I am working on weapons!...no wonder you need 3 people the fly the thing. The greatest challenge for me are flight transitions ie from forward flight into hover taxi. A complex flight model like the Huey and KA. The KA has what I think are 'dampners' rather than autopilot for heading and altitude and pitch. The Mil 8 feels to me that it to has dampners.

That is fantastic news from Wags and thanks.

Does the paper come with a free scenery upgrade? of the Nevada variety? Am I the only one who is old enough to remember being told that early adopters of A10C would get a free upgrade?

As Early Adopters..what is the poinr? I have been a real supporter of ED since the SU 27 range what is the point of early adopting? (and with the risk of getting banned) With A10C beta, which bought all those years ago, I was promised a free Nevada upgrade. Nothing happened. Recently bought Mil 8 Beta....only to be told that the same beta is now on sale for 19$. Am I the only one being taken for a ride? or a short ride in a FS? Please tell me ED and Wags what is the point of early adopting!!! Regards

Excellent. The weapons system would be my wish...if you have the time. Regards

We found 125 equally unstable. I think 124 was reasonably OK. I am talking about multiple aircraft complex trigger missions involving SEAD and JTACS. Is it really easy just to roll back? Anybody managed it and run stable servers?

At Shrek Squad we are also having server crash problems with complex missions written in previous versions. We also are having connection issues ie. members cannot see the server on the master list. However, Eno (who is no stranger to hosting missions) suggests and I quote "We're also seeing some benefit to renaming the servers saved games dcs folder- letting the game recreate it then moving custom settings back over. " For what it is worth. Hope it helps. I know all this is very complex stuff but it would be good for somebody at ED who knows the multiplayer code in depth to give us some help with these issues. Hope you get it fixed. If you do please share your knowledge. Regards

Thanks all..we will look into your suggestions.

Thanks for the reply S77th pings are well under 100 and where can I find the 'tracert' stats? Regards

The feel of the TMWH adds to the immersion. It is solid and cold to the touch. The Saitek being plastic and more flexible does not feel the same. But you get what you pay for. I fly with some great pilots who use the X52 pro. My TMWH has not made me as good as them but it has made me fly much better. BTW I don't fly the A10 much but would imagine if you do if would have a greater effect on your sim. Bottom line...if you have the cash and you are in Flight Sim for the long haul buy one you won't regret it. But if in two years time you will have moved on to CoD or another hobby them you probably won't get your monies worth so stick to the Saitek. (no pun intended)

One of our major issues is that having put a server up members of the squad join and things seems ok. However, members trying to join later cannot see the server in the master list even after they re boot and members who leave cannot see the server to get back in. (trying to connect by IP has no effect) Is it just me? Anyone else have similar issues? Anyone know what I am doing wrong? Cheers....ps we had similar problems in 1.25 but not in 1.24 Any thoughts from this great community would be appreciated.

nescafe37...the Shrek Squad is UK based and would fit your bill. We fly most days in the afternoon and evenings UK time and use TS. Have a look at http://www.shreksquadron.org/ and maybe we will see you in the virtual skies one day.

Shrek Squadron uses the online multi player DCS world daily. It needs to be clear which version is currently in use and which is the Beta. I guess you guys will sort that out. Ideally it would be possible to load up one or the other. So that we can join in with the testing and flying in a more stable environment. On a personal note for many years I have supported you guys at Eagle Dynamics. I have had many hours of enjoyment and met some great people along the way. The Friday update is a great idea Wags. Just keep up the good work.

It is good to see a slightly different approach. You seem to have a good pit, reasonably priced. Is it really running off a laptop?

Well BSS Vidar. While it is fair to say in previous DCS World versions there were some issues but the current one is very stable. Shrek Squadron flies almost every day, always online, and we frequently fly in formation. Only once, with one aircraft did we experience the effect you mention. However, a reconnect sorted it out. But a few tips. 1.The host needs to have a very good connection fibre if possible. 2.In your multiplayer option everybody needs to be set to LAN regardless of how they are connected. 3.The host needs to load the server mission, get into his(or her) pit first and wait...it can be paused...for about 30 seconds to let the server machine sort itself out. 4.Then the host tells others to connect. 5. Finally check everybodies connection ping below 100 is good. Also the P51 guns hit your frame rate...I think they are working on it. I am no expert but we have been flying online for many year ad really enjoy the experience. Hope that helps Regards Trubshaw

Absolutely agree. Saitek want to sell panels. So if they could add an install to their driver cd that said it would allow some function in DCS World they should be laughing all the way to the bank. Many of us have gone thought the fsx route and bought saitek panels that collect dust in DCS world. If I were saitek I offer RAF some money and equipment. After all you have effectively done a 'proof of concept' with your work so far. Keep it up.

Really good work RAF. Have you sent Saitek an e-mail? If they had any sense they would support your work. After It would lead to more sales of their panels to DCS users. Cheers
