Exactly. When you purchase a module now, there is no need to separately download the module files from the website. You only go to website to purchase modules. DCS World will do the downloading and installing for you.
This wasn't here for me. Just a buy button, nothing else, yes I was logged in. I ended up rolling back the update, using the installer and then re-updated, which worked fine.
-
What enigma6584 is saying, is that you need to download it again through the Module Manager (selected from the main DCS menu). This will allow you to download the correct software version.
I tried this before, I see no option to just download it, it only has a "buy" button, which just minimizes the game and opens up the website, but perhaps i'm missing something really obvious, I haven't used this module manager before :(
-
What we mean is we've downloaded it for the first time just after a DCS World update, so it still just gives me the option to buy it in the module manager - as the current version of it refuses to install.
-
Same issue, i'm guessing that it is just really bad timing. DCS may have updated before the downloaded module has updated to the same version, making it outdated. Hopefully it is sorted ASAP.
-
We are continuing to explore this option.
I don't have the steam version yet, just downloading it right now, but I do have a question that I hope you could answer, if i was to own every DCS module outside of Steam, could I simply copy the Mods folder from the current DCS world folder and into steam, and use the existing activation codes that I have already? I saw from the friday update that it's "not possible" to do so yet, but i'm wondering why this wouldn't be possible, would the activation codes simply not work or something else that i'm not seeing?
Thanks! :thumbup:

Yep, i'm getting this too, and always have, i've found that using IE instead of chrome usually fixes it :doh:

24393ft (7435m) from ground level, unfortunately landing didn't went that well ;)
Hah, I remember watching you climb to that altitude, to see how high you would get! I was in the server when you were doing it. Saw your landing too, if it was you who I watched, you autorotated and crashed short of the runway. Good job climbing to that altitude though :P

These new effects are awesome, and my performance is considerably better when looking at burning aircraft, thanks ED! One thing though, the damage models seem to be a little messed up on the Su-25T which is what I tested against in the video below.
Flying without vertical stabilizer, 2 wing-ends with different camouflage falling from a wing that remained intact, speeding up to around 400 knots in level flight with one engine, engine sounds ceased once the pilot had ejected... Hopefully these problems have been addressed by ED. :pilotfly:

Just this second, it changes to an A-10, even caught it happen whilst reading Wags' post. Him and his mysterious avatar changes... :D
-
I decided to go watch a few A-10 scenes from movies after seeing this thread, and in doing so, I found a cockpit scene from Terminator: Salvation -
:megalol:
-
Testing my mission, added a single Mi-8 with the new gun pods, only because they can now have weapons. Once he reached the target, I knew because the gun pods reduced my FPS from a steady 50 to 3.
Pics:
I understand these gun pods put out a serious amount of lead, but.. jeez! it's not like he was even close to me, I wasn't even looking at him when he started firing either :(
-
Very nice Dell, have you learnt to memorize the track when you black out? :P
-
You can pretty much drive every single ground unit included with DCS world, which I suspect is why there isn't any list. The only things you cannot drive are the completely unarmed vehicles.
-
I would say that Windows 7 is the better one to choose, but for DCS, I have found that I have actually had almost no problems what so ever on Windows 8, been using it for about 2 or 3 months and I can say truthfully that DCS has not crashed on me a single time, so I would go for 8 if I were you.
-
Got the track?
Sorry about how long the track is, but yeah, here.

sorry about not posting it as an attachment, i'm useless when it comes to forum posts :doh:
(it happens around 9:31am in game time)
-
Lol, when was this?
P.s I watch our forum much more then these ones
it happened last night, went on for about 5 minutes before Shahdoh rebooted the mission, it was really weird because it just suddenly happened, for no apparent reason..
-
THIS happened! (it was on multiplayer, and it was the entire server getting this, not just me) :megalol:
-
It's a shame it will be down all week... but at least it's for a good cause. Thanks to all of you for putting the money, time and effort into running the server.
-
Came across this issue today when an A-10 pilot ejected, and landed beside me.
From above, he looked like a storm trooper :lol:... but the question is, has anyone else seen this happen, or was it just me, as a one off? This happened in a multiplayer game, and was the first time I had ever seen this happen.
thanks:thumbup:

Pman of the Virtual aerobatics server allowed me to get some real nice screenshots with his excellent formation skills :)

Thanks for hosting this server, me, and i'm sure many others really appreciate you guys running it. I've had many nice screenshots while I've been playing here, and practiced some of my formation skills too :D
Thank you for the best free flight server on DCS! :thumbup:

I'm noticing drops whenever I look at a UH-1... :S
-
I'm getting it too, now that I look...

Another dogfight versus a 190.

MI-8 Magnificent Eight, Flight Dynamics Questions
in DCS: Mi-8MTV2 Magnificent Eight
Posted · Edited by Chippy
Given that one of the lead team members of Belsimtek flew an Mi-8MTV2 for many years, I don't think it would've been released if it was as "bad" as you describe... it's a few hours into release, and a beta. Not everything will be perfect.
