  1. Also, don't forget that if you are in your cockpit, and you look around, and go to 3rd person, you can see where you looked.
  2. I'm guessing no AC-130 simulator anytime soon. ED already has a contract with the military, meaning they cannot give it to consumers. Look here:http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=31558&page=4
  3. I still don't get how people how problems with norton. I have had it for 3 years now and I haven't had one issue. Maybe I'm just lucky.
  4. Would this work on a regular x52? I have a Tm warthog currently so I don't mind messing with my old joystick.
  5. Geez, Irans new plane is really small. Compared to the F-15, Su-27, and F-14s, that thing looks smaller than a ford!
  6. What I do is 1. Load up DCS World 2. Select options 3. Go to the controls tab 4. Click on any box in on the screen. 5. Click on load profile. 6. Navigate your way to wherever you put the files I gave you. 7. Check the controls and memorize them. 8. Load up any mission and play. Also on your computer go to the devices and profiles application here; Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers and right click on your saitek controller and go to the games and controllers application. Then Look at each of the tabs and find something that says something about a clutch button, then click on it and make sure there is a check in that box. Lastly do not close the application that you used to check the box. Hope that helped!
  7. Yea, I have one that I use to use. I got a TM warhog and saitek combat rudder pedals so I don't need it, but here 1st profile I have used; http://www.mediafire.com/?fgk9kkufukdxufy 2nd profile I have used; http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2df1o58gjp60dgt 3rd profile I have used; http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?aogll3bzj21votx By the way I use button 6 (The button on the bottom of the part of the stick were your hand is.) as the modifier.
  8. Serial #: 12764 Location: South Jersey, USA God bless the guys at thrustmaster, the fighter collection, and eagle dynamics for making this Hotas Warthog possible Oh hey were's the serial number on the stick? All I can find is the serial number below the LASTE panel.
  9. I now know who I am going to rob tonight :P. I need a new video card. Right now I have a gtx 560ti at 2GB but it's starting to break down.
  10. Doesn't matter to me, I'm not the most social person. Loves me the single player. Right now I am playing with a modified Saitek X52 (I made all the axis for the throttle into buttons. All I really care about are mission-breaking bugs, game-breaking bugs, controller issues, and some certain "eye-candy" issues. Currently I have maxed out every item except view distance.
  11. I would go with the DCS series. The thing with others (Rise of Flight, Xplane, FSX) is that they focus mainly on a wide variety of aircraft of normally 10+ planes. Now they cannot dedicate the time to each and every aircraft to represent the exact flight model (however they do a great job), but the DCS series focuses on one aircraft at a time so that it has the exact representation of that aircraft. Now if your dad wants to just fly to fly with a decent model and decent flight dynamics with a good flight model, but with a variety of aircraft, then FSX, Xplane, Rise of flight is his choice. However if your dad wants to learn about the aircraft and basically learn how to fly the real thing, but be limited to currently 2 combat planes and 1 combat helicopter (A-10C Close air support aircraft, a P-51D a WW2 CAS aircraft aswell a fighter, and a KA-50 russian single seat attack chopper, then the DCS series is his best choice. The other thing is scenery, DCS only comes with one theatre, the Caucasus region in Georgia, but with most cities, airports, airport cmoms are exactly represented. FSX comes with the entire world, but each city , airport, and marking might not exactally be represented, Xplane is the same. I am not sure about Rise of flight, however by the looks, it looks like a WW2 slightly more advanced version of Flaming Cliffs 3. So if your dad wants more scenery so he can do long time flights, go with FSX, Xplane, or rise of flight. If he wants a detailed (Not in eye candy, but in representation) go with DCS series. Lastly about time. If your dad is the type of guy who will spend most of his day learning, studying, reading the manual, or researching how to fly, then DCS is right up his alley. If he wants to go straight up and fly, go with the Trial-and-error way of flying, then go with FSX, xplane, or rise of flight. As DCS is not really the sim that lets you get right in the action, as you need to normally start up the engines, which will take up 3 minutes, take off, which is another minute (2 minutes if you are waiting for clearance, arriving to you ingress (Which is normally 20 minutes for my normal missions), and then you can attack, but after that you need to fly 20 more minutes to go back to base and then land, taxi, and then shut down. That's all if you don't need to go back to base to refuel, reammo, or repair. However, Eagle dynamics (The makers of DCS) did implement 6 instant action missions for DCS. In Xplane, FSX, and probably rise of flight, you can normally start up in 3 minutes, listen to ATIS (Or AWOS if your a flight sim nerd like me) (Another 1 minute), taxi and get takeoff clearance (another 2-4 minutes), and then your free to do what you want. Wow thats the longest post I've EVER done. Hope that helped your descision. I'll now be going back to my precious VBS2
  12. You can open .lua files with windows basic notepad application that is preinstalled on your computer
  13. Well I probably will never run into performance problems, I have 32GB ram, 64-bit os, i7 2600k at 4.5 gHZ, nvidia gtx 560, and a 1200 watt power plant. I think I will wait till DCSW comes out of beta.
  14. The main reason that I am against updating is that I have all my joystick configurations set up, and I am not encountering any bugs. The only reason I really want to update is to hear the new APU sounds.
  15. Well I guess I won't be updating if there are a ton of bugs in 1.2.2. The main turnoff is that I need to completely reinstall the game, with the chance of loosing an activation and the requirement of changing the command configurations I might as well not update and wait for a more stable version. Was a little dissappointed that the blue smoke glitch is still there.
  16. Right now I am currently using 1.1.2.1 but I really do want to see the new A-10 APU sounds and want to have the latest edition, however... Can I import my old joystick and keyboard command configurations? I heard that there is new commands so I wanted to be sure. Is the "Blue Rocket Smoke glitch" still there? What are the current bugs in 1.2.2? When I delete dcs world will I need to completely reinstall everything? (The A-10, blackshark, and regular dcs world) Will I loose all my missions that I have downloaded over the year? Any chances of loosing my activation that I have used? Thanks for reading this, BTW I have a 64-bit OS, I didn't know if you guys needed to know.
  17. every time i try to start dcs world my computer says msvcr100.DLL is missing from my computer. Any ideas of what to do?
  18. refer to my 6th post for the problem. btw i have tried f2 and shift and f10 and shift but it doesnt work
  19. not working he is a pic of whats happening \.
  20. i did that but i still get the shapes around the plandes, trucks and missiles.
