its on steam if you need it :p

Hi all, just a heads up that Bohimia released a new patch for combined arms and arrowhead and its expansions bringing the patch version up to 1.62. it adds some nice high dynamic range that i saw right away as shadows of trees rolled across bmps. The current version of fraps makes the pics dark but its just enough that you can make out the stuff. it also fixes A.I issues and list load of other stuff. attached is a pic of the scene in case you want to see a general idea of the game. cheers

a the early 2000 days how i remember the direct up days, im a little rusty but you may try these tips. -make sure you know your "public ip address" you may be giving the router ip instead, they are two diff things. you can find it at http://www.ipchicken.com/ -I dont have it on hand but find out what ports dcs world uses and add them to the router to make sure they are open for the game. -thing about windows firewall is make sure the game has both inbound and outgoing rules set to allow access. gamespy network protocals are found in almost every game on this planet, sometimes it isn't but the ports are similar sometimes, here are the most common ports see if they may help or your out of ideas. * 6667 (IRC) * 2033 * 2056 * 47624 (Directplay) * 3783 (Voice Chat Port) * 27900 (Master Server UDP Heartbeat) * 28900 (Master Server List Request) * 29900 (GP Connection Manager) * 29901 (GP Search Manager) * 13139 (Custom UDP Pings) * 6500 (Query Port) * 6515 (Dplay UDP) * 2300-2400 (DirectPlay - UDP) other then that im not sure, hope it helps, let us know how it goes

morphological AA messes up games on ati, i had the problem with some games with that enabled. also the posters are right that in the ati control panel force AF 16x it has huge effect on how crisp textures are. also be aware that AA enabled makes many games blurry, my rule of thumb is i rather see jagged corners then blurry crap, i never liked AA.

do post comments i want to know what you guys think of the weapon system etc. It's pretty much everything you need to know, some weapon systems are not present but you get a idea of alot of them and the computers that go with them and radar gear.

no a double charge for the same product, i bought the wrong product and bought the correct one and was hoping to void the wrong product (the upgrade) since i cant use it. and get a refund. since i have full versions of all the other games. etc

ok thanks, will wait a few days and see what happens, since its a account related. not in a huge rush at the moment so i can wait.

Hi all I have had a collection of docs I have amassed over the years and thought I would post the real life Russian industry purchase cataloge for their weapons, it comes with pictures and specs so on. hope you enjoy and hey may help you with tactics. cheers :smartass: Russian Air Defence.pdf

Is anyone at DCS answering account customer support, my ticket has been in que for a while now, it said 48 hours but its been way longer then that, I just want to know if the company gets to support tickets.. thanks

rockets are a short range weapon, ripple shots help (more the one shot) help with the offset, also a-10c can handle low speed well, slowing down will give you more time, also if your off target left or right, using the rudder instead of the stick can help. also make sure you have laser turned on and you know what crosshair your useing to fire. other then that practice helps, the gun is easier then rockets to start out on. try and run in on slow straight angles so you can setup if possible if no anti air is around, high attack angles help.

LSS is on the air to ground screen (the screen display that you view the targeting pod on, you will see on the right hand side of the screen LSS, if you press that it starts panning the pod around looking for energy from laser that is active, when it finds something a 1-3sec delay where the screen will say found will be displayed and a hostile tank will be locked, this works for air to air as it locked onto a frogfoot once. make sure when you find a target you mark it so you dont lose the track.

i only read ka 50 manual front to back :p thanks though, i was trying to figure out if it was my stick :p i was thinking i wasn't getting any thrust, i did notice since the update that angles of attack have changed and i get bitching betty alot more on my turns since I tend to be aggressive on my angles :)

i think what i find kinda disturbing is a jdam explosion within two feet of both trucks (soft skin) doesnt take out both trucks.....the amount of TNT should have taken both trucks out. thats my frustration.

man i should not write threads when im intoxicated ;p although hey it got people laughing ;p

ya i repeated it, and same issue, im at a loss on what to think, i checked the log after and it shows both trucks hit and one destroyed. so im at a loss if the engine changed because if the log shows a hit is it enough damage to take out the truck or is like the old rules where you hit the truck and it was a burn kill right away. i know for sure that both trucks are hit at least.

Hi hug fan im currently in canada and was wondering if the squadrons can be updated for dcs profiles for canada, many of them are world war 2 and not in service, while the active ones are left out?? i know its not high priority but would be a huge boost to moral :) to my second point, can you add my homelands country of poland and squadron option for pilot logbook also, this way i can be a happy camper and maybe someone else wants that also :) thanks DCS :)

the KA 50 has a a mounted spotlight also that can be panned in all directions for soft skin targets :p nvg works with nvg lighting etc, but other poster advice works well, have rocket pod with illumination flares. or at the very least WP marking targets so you can mark the ground if spot the target and dont want to have to refind it again or at least give you a ref point.

Manpads igla/sterla and depending on the model of Zu 23 have no launch warnings at all...what makes them deadly in real life also, best i could say is if you flying into manpad nation set a slow release of flare program to start dispensing flares and move fast and exfil asap, i hate auto flare even though sometimes its a needed evil, considering it picks up friendly launches and dumps my CM :p

clearing hung weapon during flight? hi all just a noob question from a non flight noonb :p on the a10c can you clear a hung weapon error during flight? i made a classic short release press and had a hung GBU and looking threw the display cant figure out how to clear it, is it in the maintenance menu? (where you can select jet etc. i cant figure out how to clear the jam if possible so i can relaunch the weapon. thanks

i know that damage model and health, but a utility truck right next to a gbu explosion , we are talking within 2 feet of the bomb, it used to be where you would drop a gbu 38 and get easy kill, and rockets exploding right next to a soft skin truck doesnt destroy it, it did in a-10c 1.1.1

hey all I just finished install of dcs world will a10c and bs2 and noticed on a-10c the damage for missiles and rockets on instant mission for the a-10 easy mission is super low, i had gbu right in the middle of 2 soft skinned trucks and only 1 was destroyed, and it was like 2 feet away almost right on target. rockets dont do anything almost unless they get a direct hit, anyone else having issues. i know splash damage used to be ablle to take out targets but now weapons do no splash at all. also i dont know if im doing something wrong but my X52 stick thrust is at 100 percent but my a-10 fan speed wont go above 80 percent or 85 percent not sure, i cant get 100 percent thrust even with paddle thrust all the way forward. thanks guys
