Likewise! Same problem here....
-
You are not alone! I too have the same issue. Ironically when I went to install UH1-H I was told I needed to update DCS World to 1.2.4 which was done....only to encounter the same problem you have....

usb touch screens - should be fine. G'day cgjimeneza, Short answer is yes - it should work. As long as your usb touch screen works under the your operating system, there's nothing special about DCS that limits USB monitors - at least not that I'm aware of. I'm running four touch screens fir DCS (two as MFCDs, one for UFC and Radio stack, with the forth used for CDU.). I'm running a single 24" monitor. Have a look at the attached screen shot - shows all 5 monitors - monitors 2 to 5 are USB 8 inch Lilliput. I can't speak for the monitor you are looking at but is should be fine. All the best. Pete

A Russian Betty? (Bettyoffski?) I'm please I'm not wasting drive space on langagues that are not in context of the version I purchased. A mod file is a useful solution. Of course you could have purchased the Russian version of the game....Заткнись Бетти! Заткнись!

Not sure if my problem was the same as yours...but I fixed my issue by finding the latest versions of all the modules - CA, BS2 P51D and A10 - that seemed to sort that particular problem for me...try and update all your DCS content before trying the DCS World patch...hope this helps...

Such is life... :thumbup:....Oh the joys of software! Yeah - I know what you mean! Still that's beta for you!

Fatal Error: Can't process CombinedArms_protect.exe
KiwiPete replied to E61-v1T1's topic in Game Crash
Me to - no joy as yet.... I also get this. Uninstalled all previous DCS stuff, and reinstalled DSC:World - latest version. that works okay - but adding CA kills DCS world :( i7 Sandybridge, GTX 580, 20 GB ram (don't ask!) and Windows 7 fresh install (as of last week - getting the machine ready for CA...oh the irony of it all :cry:) EDIT: - Renaming the install folder to DCS World 120 worked - don't forget to update shortcuts etc! I did have 7 windows updates pending as well so applied them and restarted - just sayin! -
High demand? G'day Wichid, yeah I struggled at midday - so you are not alone - but got there in the end... downloads very slow today (particulary here in South Taranaki!):music_whistling: Good luck!

DCS: Combined Arms Pre-Purchase / Open Beta Available
KiwiPete replied to Wags's topic in DCS: Combined Arms
High traffic? ...er, it looks like it might be high traffic and not a browser issue...seems different folks had the same problem with different browsers - I struggled with IE this afternoon but was soon okay - and this evening the DCS: World updates take forever to download - a busy day for ED servers!:D -
DCS: Combined Arms Pre-Purchase / Open Beta Available
KiwiPete replied to Wags's topic in DCS: Combined Arms
Update DCS: World I suspect you will need to update DCS: World to the latest version. I'll be trying that this evening :) Happy hunting! :joystick: -
You mean there was an English version! :huh: You mean they had other language options for BS1! Great I'm fluent in English and Bad English....:) :doh:

When it become available for download?
KiwiPete replied to 71st_Mastiff's topic in DCS: Combined Arms
:(Ouch - puts things in perspective. Yes it is only a game - hope to see you online sometime for a bit of fun! In the meantime I've given you inbound rep to help ease the pain of that loss. Good hunting! -
FC3 = "simplified" franchise while DCS = "Advanced"?...hmmm... maybe. I brought FC2 and have hardly touched it due to it's too two dementional cockpit. I'm investing my time into DCS at the moment - I'd like to see more complexity in FC3 (or fast movers in DCS) and would be willing to spend money/effort if it provides the same fidelity as the DCS range. I guess they have thier reasons for continuing both product ranges. Can't wait to compare FC 3 with DCS range...Good luck on getting what you want - happy flying!

I think Slowhand is suggesting you hold down the key combination longer to achieve marking the point on the ground as SPI/ try holding Left Ctrl + Up Arrow down longer - that would/could explain why you had it working previously. Good luck - let us know how you go. Regards

Wags made good on his commitment. Cheers. It'll come when it's ready - wouldn't mind having the pre-purchase option available before the Beta is released - the exchange rate is good at the moment!but that won't last I'm sure :\ -
Thrustmaser Warthog or TrackIR?
KiwiPete replied to Quantenpresbyterianer's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I have just got my TM Warthog HOTAS...Changes the Game - makes it the Simulator experience others describe. Big cost I know - but worth every cent. Seriously this controller exceeded my expectation - my PC is now setup around my HOTAS - even the keyboard takes a back seat! If you can afford it - good investment. Track-ir is also good. But second in the list for me. Not sure but there might be an open source Head tracking system around that only requires a webcam. Not sure if DCS software would need to support it or if ot's handled by the OS... But I'd not be without my trackir for sure -
How about trying the easy quick mission thingy with unlimited ammo? Practice lots! Use the mav to take out everything...the moving column at Steerpoint 6 has AAA cover - good luck!

When it become available for download?
KiwiPete replied to 71st_Mastiff's topic in DCS: Combined Arms
Oh no!!! It's now the first of July....and no CA! I must admit that I like the sound of deadlines (or in this case "release date" ) rushing past at a great rate of knots! Looking forward to its release soon! But I do feel for Timmy....poor lad.... -
Same question here! thanks for the answers!!! Thanks for asking - was going to ask the same question myself! - All thanks for the response! You've helped me understand that little bit more. Cheers all!:thumbup:

How is Timmy these days? Four days in left in June! He's just gotta hang in there for four more days!!! -
Do it properly... Do it well or don't do it at all :thumbup: Could this not be an effect applied through graphical settings? like heat blur? The current effect is a little overdone I feel. but it certainly aids in detection so I'm not complaining - make it realistic, just not too realistic!

Kudos to you! thanks for sharing. nicely presented and clear instructions. appreicate the assist! Good hunting!

Development scoping...forum members? You'd hope so! - would be the top of the must have list for me...:joystick: Does anyone have any idea how the scope out the development? This community is a real inspriation and I think a lot of mature, considered concepts could be gained from canvasing the troops (the members of this forum).
