OP is unaware of this: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2085202#post2085202 This means there is no way for ED to merge your standalone keys on Steam. Keys purchased before that date should be able to be activated on Steam. Any further argueing about this is futile unless you have some way to convince Steam otherwise. Starforce is the DRM you agreed to when you bought your standalone DCS modules. As you can see from the link a merge is no longer possible. Your objection to Starforce now, after years, is quite astounding. :) Nothing to add to Yurgons post there, he said it pretty well, my thoughts too. Also keys bought from Steam with the M2000C and all newer modules moving forward, can not be activated on Standalone version anymore. http://i.imgur.com/p9bNMMJ.png?1 (can't find original source explaining the reasoning, but if I remember right it was indicated that steam misliked use of 3rd party DRM keys on their platform)

@Mods: Since it's a sticky the first question needs to be updated for the Steam DRM changes that you can't activate M2000C and any newer modules bought from steam on standalone. Thx :)

Same place as usual: "\DCSWorld\Mods\aircraft\NS430\Doc" also you can probably use RL/other Sim tutorials, there will probably be only minor differences.

15$ for a GNS that works on a bunch of modules would be a very reasonable price, no argument. I know that thing from Xplane and it's really a wonderful tool and having that in a bunch of modules would be great. (Looking at all other BST modules, WW2 stuff etc. <3) It's just that it's unclear to all of us if it is 15$ for only Mi8 and we have to expect the extra pay for different modules too, or if we might expect it to see in other modules at all. Asking that is not negative and seeing as it is live in the shop first, it's weird to get told by people to wait for friday news to tell us what exactly we are buying. As of yet I am not outraged or anything, just confused. =) Generally there has been a lot of feature/wish requests to update older modules (even for paid DLC), like an upgrade for a newer suite A-10C as an example. Putting the garmin in context with this I think we are all open to the idea but just want to know what we are getting here and what pricing model for future similar avionics ugprades is. And to make it clear, I really really want it and for a bunch of different modules =)

Sorry about the nagging but can we get that info pretty soon please? If it is really only for Mi8 15$ is way too steep for me. But if it gets integrated into other modules without making me rebuy it's a different thing. Bottomline, we really need to know if we are to buy this. I am not buying it on a hint / assumption only to get burned later. I own all DCS modules and adding another 'buy' for a bunch of modules would ruin me. :)

Das verwirrt mich auch ziemlich, der titel ist wirklich irreführend.

Hi sorry for digging this up but I believe there is an issue here. I am trying this because of a steam user who reports an issue with the CMS tutorial near those triggers: http://steamcommunity.com/app/223750/discussions/0/1473095331507143851/ Investigating this I got stuck too, only one step further than the user (and I think one before OP), see screen. You can't see, but the flare button is selected, unselecting it, increasing or decreasing flares etc. and trying to select it again did not advance the trigger. It has been some while but I remember that the tutorials were generally sensitive with the timing of the triggers, but I was actually trying to look at that, not use trigger while voice file is still running etc. edit: I was able to reproduce this a second time at the same step. edit2: Work around! Turning off all CMS and on, and then cycling between chaff/flare advanced the trigger. I still maintain there is an issue with that trigger and new players will have a hard time figuring this out.

Does this affect me in 1.5.7 release version, I can't see my custom kneeboard pages and am wondering if it is this bug.

JSGME is done for, or atleast in the way we need it since the mod path change in 1.5.7. I now have to install mods into the saved games & DCS root folder, if you want to make multiple JSGME instances to achieve what OvGME does with one... Be my guest! =)

Sorry it was a problem on my end, I must have messed something up when converting to OvGME. I did try again (via old mod install in DCS folder) and it works on IC server. But thank you very very much for checking, again sorry for the extra work.

Thank you! that was it! Edit: Use the windows key + arrows as he suggest, forget the stupid taskbar^^

I used OvGME once, set up mods etc. for 1.5/2.1 main&user folders. Now weirdly OvGME won't start up. It shows OvGME in the taskbar but it doesn't react and shows no crash in the task manager. (Moving it to focus does not work) Anyone got an idea?

Anyone got this mod working with the new integrity check for multiplayer? Can't fly Mirage without ^^

Giev giev giev! A-10C was the ED flagship for a long time (I guess this will change with F18) and should not remain unloved any longer! /willing to pay

Trying this out and a few cockpits work this way. (Devrim Mi8, Su27, Su33, BS2, Su25T & Casper F15) But I am having trouble with a few others (Gazelle, Mirage, Viggen & MiG21) in those cockpits there is an additional (or more) folder besides the livery one and I am confused how to work around this. Anyone got any progress on this?

But the english cockpit mods are still not working via saved games folders, right?

https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3192090&postcount=52 I am also all for beta version until stable before we switch to release version. Except 2.1+ of course, thats alpha anyway. =) But I would REALLY like my stable DCS experience, where the (MP) community at large doesn't have to work around a lot of issues. I am doing beta testing on the side anyway. :) BTW guys, 2.1 update not live yet (alteast for me).

Integrity check, what you posted was a bug, that let you see planes through clouds afaik.

https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3216862#post3216862 For 2.1 "Two more textures added to IC." Nooo^^

I read a lot in this thread about ED's stance on future FC3 planes, could you guys please source that? on topic: personally I don't need any future FC3 planes, but this attitude of 'what I want or bust' that people in this community always feel the need to pursue is not helping here. WinterH said it very well, this community is split and if there is any future FC3 content, that doesn't hurt the full-clickable crowd. It's ww2 vs modern all over again tbh.

Hey, just checking, is it my browser or is SOP link not live yet? (Using bunch of addons, noscript, ghostery, addblock etc. so could be problem on my end)

IC will show as passed untill you actually try to connect to a server / spawn in the AC the mod is used in. I saw many mod creators fall for this trap already: "But my IC is passed!", "Try connecting.", "oops" :D

https://belsimtek.com/news/1785/ Same in english :)

Also english cockpit mods etc. :(

Any official word from ED on this? There seems to be the idea, ED want's to block texture mods, which I find silly when looking at the official starway support. Is this maybe unintended change while fixing something on the IC system? Bug report it?
