Hmm damn, wish I'd known that sooner :/

It's Windows 7 32. I'll try and see if I can figure it out.

I can't seem to find the logs. It keeps saying: "setup has detected that this computer does not meet the requirements to install this software. The following blocking issue must be resolved before you can install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable Setup software packagde" Please resolve the following: A newer version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable have been detected on the machine" Dunno if this have anything to do with it, but it's the only error where it tells me more. Also happens when I try multiplayer and the SU.

Really doubt that I can wait since it won't be till next month, right now I gotta get the game working first ^^

There are no details, just that the game stopped working and windows dosnt know why. When installing it did say something about a newer version of c++ being installed, dunno if that has anything to do with it.

Its dcs World with warthog installed. Just tried a quick mission, same thing happens. Start the mission, then it goes to desktop where another window opens and then I get the message.

So, just downloadet andet installed the game and when I try to do the first training mission, that's the message that pops up, dosn't say why. Just throws me back to the mission select screen. Now, I'm not very good with computers, so hope someone on here can help out.

Being danish I doubt they'd even let me get close to one ^^ Got a point, I'll go download it and see how it goes. Track IR is the next item on my list followed by pedals and yeah, been told some great things about the X52 Pro, at least for it's price.

Been thinking: would it be wise to get the game now even though I'm stuck with keyboard and mouse to get started on at least the start up procedure etc?

Oh for me Simpit is a question of when, I simply don't have the space for it. :p The reason I wanna get into it because of the realism and sim'inism (it's a word!) and yeah I know it'll take alot of practice. Sitting behind a drumset was pretty intimidating to the first couple of times, so I know what it feels like to get rewarded for lots of practice. Only thing holding me back right now is waiting for my joystick and throttle, I'll be installing the game as soon as it's in my hands.

Gotta say, for a flight sim newbie it's all a bit intimidating. Been looking through the manual and even though I'm excited to get started (postman better get here soon with my stick) it's a tad scary to see all the things I'll have to learn. But like I said, looking forward to it...and something tells me I'll be bit by the bug and end up getting track IR, pedals...heck, if I didn't live in a two room apartment I'd proberbly start planning a simpit. While waiting I'm making sure to check out all the videos I can on youtube to prepare myself abit, it'll be a big change from the games I'm used to (mostly FPS and RPGs) but something I've been thinking about for a while. Wanna thank you all for answering my questions, it's helped alot.

I'm all for learning all that I can, I'm a knowledge sponge...to begin with I'll focus on starting up the plane without the wings falling off though ^^

Never intended to give the arcade style a go, if I just wanted fly around and pewpew I would start up BF3 ^^ Counting on spending alot of time on just learning to get it started and in the air, I'm in no rush to do nighttime uber elite missions or anything of the sort. Have no experience with flying but dreamt about being a fighter pilot as a kid (sadly I'm to tall ^^) so the more realism I can get the better! Haven't boughtt he game yet as I thought I would ask around here first, and wait till my stick gets here but I'm currently downloading DCS World to have a look at it.

Thanks for the quick replies, think I'll give DCS world a go. FC3 sounds interesting but as silly as it may sound, I wanna click buttons and flick switches and all that stuff ^^

Hope this is the right place to post this if not I apologize. So, I've resently ordered a Saitek X52 Pro joystick (mainly for using with MWO) but thought I'd look at getting into some flightsims at the same time as it's something I've been wanting to do for a while but pushed off due to lack of a joystick. I then came across DCS A-10C and was thrilled to see a sim centered around my 4th favorite aircraft and when checking it on youtube and coming across ralfidude's videos I was just amazed. But, have a few questions before diving in and buying the game: 1: Is the X52 joystick "good enough" for playing this game or would I need one with more options and more...stuff? 2: Having never played a flightsim in my life, should I even attempt this game or start with something easier? (if there is such a thing). 3: A bit weird I guess, but is there some way to learn the proper "lingo" without actually being an airforce pilot? I'm all about imersion when it comes to games and going "Gonna fire my missle thingy at the doohickey with the gizmo down there" would just not "cut" it for me. Again, hope it's the right place to throw these questions. And thanks in advance from a hopefully future sim-pilot.
