  1. Same issue here. Exactly the same problem.
  2. That's exactly where I am at here. Same situation where I have keys but the module manager is an empty shelf. Doesn't show, however, Normandy is now available to buy in the row of icons across the bottom of the main menu screen. No option to insert purchased key anywhere. I "checked" the keys via dcs profile while logged in, then returned to game, only to see no change or option to download or install. I refuse to CMD because of the possibility of infringing upon user agreement, and so elect to wait for a proper solution, where the product is presented in the normal fashion, inside the module manager. I always play it safe. But, I guess that's probably why I never get caught seen floating under a parachute.. Anyway, really looking forward to getting Normandy installed. I'm sure it'll be sorted out soon. It always is with Eagle Dynamics, in the end. And just look at the quality of these modules and maps. It's truly never been a better time to be a simulator fiend. Thank you DCS, for being the flagship for all aviation simulators, to date. And well into the future I'm sure. See you all there. Edit: Installing now. Upon running DCS 2.1 the following day, Normandy install prompted immediately and automatically began installation once entering the module manager. Assets followed the next time I entered the module manager, and is installing as I type. Yay! Good day.
  3. Enjoyed the video. One struggles the other does not. I appreciate how difficult this is. Well done!

  5. This is also how I roll. We all know that even once software is clear of beta, bugs will crawl, albeit fewer. I like finished products, with fewer bugs. Imho: Those who pay a premium for a product (pre-order) deserve a perk. Because they should be seen as donators. Having paid full price before release obviously aids in the development of the to be released product. Furthermore, the customer then becomes a beta tester, a much needed element to secure the stability of the finished product. This is not fun. Crash crash crash etc. I believe that this commitment deserves a perk. And so early access seems appropriate, since they have already committed to the process of "fixing". They won't complain that it's not working properly. Instead, these types are best suited to be given this perk for the betterment of all. Additionally, this method will encourage those not paying a premium, to do so, and get early access, which builds DCS World more quickly, as it has in the last year or so. It's really building speed now. Lastly, I don't see why DCS would "blackout" beta testing because, as most of you have figured already, it builds hype. More sales. Nothing will entice a customer more than seeing that another has what they themselves can not. This is the essence of marketing. Don't forget though, that the more DCS earns, the better it is for everyone. Let's face it, where would we turn, if this fizzled out, again? DCS stands alone, and proudly. There are no others.
  6. DX is just so overrated.. I too was hung up on the high end. I tote above average hardware too. I eventually came to realize, especially since DX10 implementation, that DX versions have been released more frequently, with increasingly subtle tweaks in visual quality. "Visual" meaning, what I see. Yeah, I've read it all too, but the polygonal pixel pumping flex show, ain't all its hyped up to be. I care about what I can distinguish, that is all. Because as it was stated above here: "I didn't even realize that DCS was not using DX..." That's just it, isn't it? If it's always looked great, who cares. I don't mean to attack this statement. I just think we all get a bit hung up, on our higher end hardware sometimes. Don't let the fact that DCS doesn't implement the latest DX version deflate your experience. You're just not missing out on much.. Looking at the tidbits of DCS 2 sneek peeks we've all been allowed to see, it's clear. If what I'm looking at there isn't DX12, it's just not something I'm overly concerned about, if you get my meaning. It can totally wait! :) I've always been mostly annoyed with fresh DX versions. They are notorious for bogging down performance in exchange for marginal graphics/shader quality increases. Eventually they become adopted (adequately optimized). I found myself asking the same question about a year and a half ago. This genre does need breathing room though (open doors for all PC's). I'm personally very impressed with how great DCS looks on an older, more reliable DX version.
  7. This is cool, like it. Even though I shy away from anything that drops below the DCS standard. I have not forgotten where my interest sparked growing up. Ace Combat was a blast. Thanks for the nostalgia.
  8. RIP I never knew him. But I certainly appreciate the work he did, and how hard he worked to share a passion.. Enjoy your last flight Jim. RIP.
  9. Odd, I was just thinking the same thing yesterday. That with everyone upping the realism, the cockpit is indeed, something we are wedged into for several hours at a time. And so, it really helps to have those intricacies in the cockpit. I agree entirely.
  10. I'm not far behind. It'll come down. Leathernecks only contribution. A fine one indeed. It does seem to be stunning quality. It was a close call for me, in the end, I chose 2 modules instead of 1. It broke the deal, that I could get 2 by passing on the dart. I was impressed with the amount of training tools available with the Mig21bis, almost bought it. Once it's price loses some altitude, I'll shoot it down.
  11. Congrats on the Mig21bis Hey Mango, This was something I considered when making my decision. The campaign. Really looking forward to flying it. Just busy with work. I'll need a couple days to settle into it and actually learn anything. Fell deeply in love with Ka-50. Really happy with the Huey. They did a great job of it, and all their products apparently. Leatherneck really did do a good job on that cockpit. I do aim to own that jet. I spent a great deal of time researching it. I like it, it's fast! I like it a lot and will buy it. $15 or bust for me lately unfortunately, if I'm ever to own a decent number of modules. Mig15bis was obviously out of reach for me now. But I'm watching it too, patiently, like a wolf. Enjoy the mig21bis. Lol, "the dart". Totally.
  12. Thanks for that quick response. Wife just sorted it out. Amazingly.. She pulled it off man. Thought I was gonna miss out on the sale. Grabbed Huey and Mi-8 Own all the choppers. Korea can can wait, and probably will anyway, so.. :)
  13. What is 1200 Russia time? Sale ends noon in Russia? Or is it 2359 hours? How much time do I have? Credit card got flagged for some reason and I'm yappin on the phone with a rep while wondering when the sale will end abruptly..
  14. local support appreciated Congratulations! I grew up in North Van. So that means I'm buyin it! Thanks for the nudge. $3 on spring sale :)
  15. That's how I was leaning actually Thanks for the help. One more thing though. What are your thoughts on dropping the Mi8 for the Huey instead?
