i havent been on the sim for a year but have been letting it update and now i cant get past load screen after selecting a warm up mission :( cant wait to see whats new though...

Not sure what I have done but when in cockpit view I can't move view around only snap shot views work but I'm locked facing forward, when I try looking around camera acts like its locked as shakes slightly but no actual movement what so ever ? Thanks Just noticed cant alt tab out of screen either if that means anything as can normally do that to.

hi, i have made the unwanted activation boxes go away but with regards to the bs2 hardware code prob i think this may be the prob, i purchased bs1 via steam on the old pc and bs2 via dcs on the new pc is this maybe why hardware code is invalid? if so how do i go about solving that so can get bs2 running on current pc. i have looked at the link and tried putting in current serial key and hardware code i have but it just keeps saying correct on that to? thanks

excellent i finish work soon so will give that ago first i think, thanks for link and peterp.

sorry i should have said it is in flight this happens and has happened on dcs world 1.1 and the new 1.2 now, i wonder if it is wind it just feels like its something more, its pulls to me like you would think it would pull if one side of plane was much heavier than the other maybe, i am just assuming that of course as i have not actually flown a plane with missiles sadly just a kite when i was about 9 which i nearly killed someones dog with but i will check for update and the level auto pilot, cheers

hi, did the game run ok before hand or has it just started doing it or this is first time you have loaded game? i am not that technical tbh but i am sure on my old pc i had this issue i think as i remember the double loading screen you mention, i turned some graphics down in options and it was ok then but was still unplayable for me as this game is so hungry my old pc was consumed and spat out by this sim :( no offence against your pc i am just relating my past prob to this double loading you mention, hope you get fixed. :thumbup:

hi, sorry to repeat this again but its still happening and even after installing the new dcs world version. its bugging me as i dont understand why it is happening, the plane always pulls to right i play on sim mode but have game avionics and unlimited weapons and fuel as am still learning. i have tried unplugging all controllers so only keyboard and mouse connected to pc so its not a dodgy flight stick, have tried different weapon layouts and still the same. any ideas what this is that is happening would be good and better still a fix for it lol i have put up with it till now but its bugging me now. i know its gonna be something stupid i have done or missed but il take it on the knuckles :doh: thanks.

Thanks for reply, I don't want to delete bs2 but its just the combined arms and p51 activation box that keeps popping up so do I do the same as you said above but just delete the sims i do t own, not the ka50 ? Also I will try the hardware key correct thing when I finish work and hopefully that will sort that prob Cheers

Hi, have uninstalled the old and installed new dcs world and all modules, I have only ever purchased a10c and BS1 (via steam) and BS2 (via DCS). My a10c key was auto filled into box when running dcs and works. Key for Bs2 was auto filled but does not work says hardware key incorrect but have mailed dcs to sort as read a post saying to do this. What's annoying is every time I do a mission I get all the key activation boxes come up one after another and have to keep exiting the boxes as i have not purchased all dcs sims just above ones, this only takes 30 seconds to do but is still annoying as have to keep exiting the other dcs key activation boxes before game loads, anyway of stopping or turning this off? Thanks

Hi, just installed new dcs world 1.2 as had 1.1, everything set up and fine but I had and now have virtual cock pit running and works via ipad but now it's laggy as hell there is delay in buttons and displays of about 1-2 seconds which makes it horrible to use. Anyone else have this issue since installing 1.2 version dcs world? Hopefully someone knows as got so use to watching MFCD,s via ipad instead of tv :thumbup:

hi, i think i have a fairly average pc for games and sims, it handles most things i play but DCS isnt the average sim. i am thinking about updating my graphics card. the pc i have was built for me as i really dont have knowledge of what goes with what so help on getting the best out of my pc as it is but by just updating the graphics card so i can possibly go all out graphically on a10c would be appreciated. also i am thinking of possibly running a triple display in the new year as i currently use the tv for pc and consoles. i have the below currently AMD phenom II x4965 processor (over clocked to 4.1ghz) 8gb corsair xms3 ram corsair h60 liquid ASUS crosshair IV formula motherboard current graphics card sapphire radeon 6870 1gb toxic many thanks.

I to for some reason have a pull to the right that's appeared from nowhere, only thing that's changed is I have added skins and a few mods to dcs world. Trimming works though I guess but still odd.

Is it the G-force effect? I can't get face track noir to work but when it did in 1.1... I unticked G-force effects as had head/zoom movement I didn't want?

Thanks ataliaA1 :thumbup:

Fixed! Cut and paste went wrong lol

Here are a collection of my utube video tutorials I have used to death to learn a few of the basics. made a huge difference for me as like to see and learn not just read and learn on its own. Hope it helps and feel free to add your own vids as am sure it will help others as it did me, will save you time searching giving more time on the sim learning.

The second image I'd say, looks great as far as digi camo goes to me anyway :huh: will be interesting to see if something similar can be converted to the a10:thumbup: I will have to learn to skin one day but for now I need to learn 1001 things to fly this beast to its potential! :joystick:

What you describe is what happened to me when I tried to play game on my old pc a while back. I had 32bit and only way I could get it to run was to run the game in administrator mode and compatability mode think it was the xp pack. but then the game was terrible anyway so had to get a whole new pc built in 64bit, am sure one of the technical guys will have your answer but that's the only input I can give being a minimal technicalist. Also below are system requirements this could be the issue? Since you can get to the main screen have you tried dropping the graphics in options then tried running? System Requirements OS: 64-bit Windows XP, Vista, and 7 Processor: CPU: Core 2 Duo E6600 or AMD Phenom X3 8750 or better Memory: 4GB Graphics: Shader 3.0 or better; 512MB DirectX 9.0c or better DirectX®: 9.0c Hard Drive: 7 GB Sound: DirectX 9.0c-compatible Other: Internet connection required for activation and multiplayer Recommended

I managed to sort after playing around with settings, no second monitor or virtual driver needed. have extended display in Windows pc display settings and now with MFCD's off main screen so no longer a eye sore with the displays stuck in corners of the screen thank god. Below are my manual icontrol settings for a single disply 50" 1920x1080 with MFCD's no longer on main screen if it helps anyone else messing around with settings Cockpit 0,0,1920,1080 Left MFCD 342,75,280,180 Right MFCD 2100,0,303,303 Case closed for me on this one at last! :)

ok so now in last 5 i minutes managed to get displays working on ipad, didnt know you had to select is display options in game itself:) so with only the one monitor i have how do i get rid of the mfcd's showing on actual screen as currently have them sat in bottom left and right corners ?

Hi, thanks for that much appreciated, I did try installing a couple of skins for a10 from dcs site but all I got was a bright orange plane with missing text written all over it :huh: will have a go at installing the file you added looks great:thumbup: edit: all done cheers, look forward to any other digi camos :)

Anyone managed to use skins on dcs world a10 1.2 with success and would they be installed the same as 1.1v?

Firing up pc now to watch tracks from your threads :thumbup: best make mrs a tea first though to keep her sweet :noexpression:

Hi again, so who has clips/pics or instructions on the evasive capabilities of the a10? Can't find a thread to do with this but again interested in finding out the limits and best ways to avoid missiles fired from ground and air if this is possible which it must be?

Great thanks, added to my ever growing a10 utube vids collection, really do like to watch and learn:thumbup:
