  1. Email??

     

    In 2010 i bought the A-10C from Steam and the product key was/is shown in the product details which can be copied-n-pasted.

     

    All other products are bought directly on ED's site without problems. It's more likely to have problems from steam when there is any. They're the 3rd party involved.

  2. What happens when you create your on free flight mission in the editor?

     

    Perhaps it's better to direct these questions in the mods threads section related to this particular mod.

     

    I have no experience with using this mod to prevent extra bugs and hic-ups. Some mods are not maintained through DCS version releases where things change all the time. Keep that in mind while using them. Some need manual code modification and such or set things in other files for proper functionality.

  3. Hey guys,

     

    I'm still on my personal crusade of creating some extra fidelity around the mist.respawngroup scripting.

     

    My LUA learning process has got me stuck on a small speed detecting LUA predicate that keeps giving me errors that it wont accept the function.

    Digging through examples and mission files i got myself the following:

     

    if c_unit_speed_higher('Unit A', 50) == true then
       return true
    else
       return false
    end

     

    or

     

    if c_unit_speed_higher('Unit A', 50) then
       return true
    else
       return false
    end

     

    Something is very or slightly wrong, but considering my rudimetary knowledge i'm not sure how to proceed to the correct format.

     

    Does anyone have a pointer to make this work?

     

    ======================================

     

    During my crusade i was also experiencing DCS.exe crashes caused in DCS's DXrenderer.dll while using the mist.respawngroup script. I'm sure it happens with all aircraft, but it does with the FA-18 and the Su-33.

     

    My hardware is operating within normal parameters and everything is freshly installed. The Win 7 X64 OS last week too. Everything is updated, don't run tons of stuff in the background and don't have any problems.

     

    I've included 2 example missions that generates my crash. One with MIST 3.3 loaded spawning the same 2 aircraft and one without MIST 3.3 each carrier spawning 5 aircraft.

     

    The crash happens when the 2 aircraft are shot once and the mission is ended. It seems the engine keeps running when something is wrong, but messes things up eventually. These crashes also occurred in recent earlier MIST versions for me.

    When only MIST is loaded and not any script used there's not a DX crash. Only in this case with respawning.

     

    I have a feeling i'm not the only one, but to be sure i'm ringing this bell and a small test.

  4. The 'Tanker respawn script' listed in the builder library seems to have an option to detect if an aircraft is landed.

     

    http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=112170

     

    This is is the predicate used:

     

    group = group:getUnits()[1]
    if not group or Unit.inAir(group) == false then
    return true
    end

     

    However the plain old 'speed detector' does the job too to figure out of an aircraft is doing something else than flying. Or set a flag when it reaches a waypoint or zone when you need earlier detection. I'm not sure if the Unit.inAir thingy will work properly.

  5. Perhaps it's 7-ZIP that has trouble re-packing the files. You can investigategate this by using another program like WinRAR. It's free to use and to DL.

     

    Other options to look into are turning off 'User Account Control' in the Windows personal account settings and turning off/remove anti-virus software that uses sandbox features.

     

    To my knowledge not any folder or file is restricted from an administrator controlled Windows around DCS. The answer to your problem is most likely not to be found in Windows itself in your case unless you're logged into a restricted user account by accident somehow.

  6. yeah, Mr. Eno is right. The game uses about 5-6 Gb of RAM when you have 8Gb to spare. The GFX card is a little bit on the EDGE too. (did you see what i did there)

     

    Perhaps it can still run when every setting is on minimal and weather options in missions fully turned off by modification in the mission editor.

  7. So when the money is Paypal-frozen with interest for the wrong reasons, isn't there a way to convince this is the real thing? I'm sure i saw cases where a deal in interest can be made.

    One partner is also part of this new team. The new team says it will be a part or already is part of a company. Doesn't that mean hope to get $15000 back where it needs to be?

  8. When BECZL is an official registered company without an official statement to this 'reboot' then it might not even be legally possible to adopt the same full concept by former employees/contractors.

     

    Unless this kind of law might not exist in the region the dispute takes place.

     

    ==============

     

    Edit: Wrong direction/assumption: 50% of BECZL works in Leatherneck.

  9. I'm all fine with what is happening now and unexpected.

     

    Crowd funding is still a very new concept though with even the status quo financial institutes wiggle policy around it to avoid claims. It still hangs on a delicately balanced triangle between promise, trust and honesty. When this triangle is broken somewhere it could have effect on future crowd funds in general.

    Due to this newness is slippery stuff is expected. Somehow it also has a certain romance tied to it when a project still works out in the end.
