Same issue here. Exactly the same problem.

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.

Enjoyed the video. One struggles the other does not. I appreciate how difficult this is. Well done!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.. :)

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..

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 :)

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?

Well said sir! :)

I'm looking for some advice on what others think would be a good purchase for me at this point. Don't want to let this sale slip by without grabbing a couple modules. Committed to the MI-8 already @ $15 and am wanting to keep it at $15 since I want it all eventually, minus the divorce. So. Now I'm between getting the Sabre or the Huey. My currently purchased modules are as follows: P-51D BF-109 K4 KA-50 A-10C Flaming Cliffs 3 Thanks for your input.

The one where, when you click "buy now" and it tells you what you paid. That one is always correct. Never wrong, that one. Lol Great sale Very pleased.

Like this comment. I also have been around since the start. So yes, things have never been so good for simmers. I'm actually building a cockpit because of how impressed I am. It's worth doing now.

Great post. You obviously have a good understanding of when it comes together. I just love that feeling when you finally get it. Something clicks with the aircraft and you are fused together as one. It's a great feeling. Only possible because of DCS. The potential is amazing with campaigns and multiplayer possibilities. I am hoping we can buy a bomber soon so we can have fleets of piloted aircraft to escort. I too have the P51Mustang. It's the only WW2 aircraft purchased thus far. My eye is on the bf109 now. I'll own most of them eventually. P51 is indeed one of the finest of the WW2 birds, and will probably remain, one of the favorites, even as the other aircraft roll out in the future. Manned bombers is what I'd like to see. I want to see all the elements of DCS brought together, to form the ultimate real time battle field.

If the tactics are to be taken seriously, ai bombers will not suffice. It can be made possible. It's the one thing I feel might save the gen re. Realistic combat missions or campaigns. Real tactics. Ai has always been poor at best. We will need real bomber pilots. So sell us bombers. We will buy. This is when dcs will make serious $. When this happens.

Next wish drops bombs. After reading other posts about wanting a flyable B17, "requesting a target to shoot down sir" I dream of squadrons of fighters protecting fleets of bombers. Shouldn't be a dream though. Even one bomber, so bombers could fly missions. The tactics would be unprecedented. Real. And if they fail to deliver there, that's sad. If they do decide to actually simulate WW2, I'll buy a Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, and always be on DCS. Many reads on those posts anyway. "B17" Alotta interest. This could get so good..

throttle bumps I also was frustrated with these bumps in the X52 Pro throttle. I adjusted the knob to give it zero resistance, which only made the bumps more pronounced. I tried putting the resistance to full, which almost eliminated the bumps, but was too stiff. In the end I ended up setting the resistance to around 90% and actually got used to the bumps. Another thing that helped me though, was building a rig for racing/flight simming and it allowed me to secure my throttle to the rig. This allowed me to push more heavily on the throttle without having it slip around while doing so. Now I can hold the throttle with a stronger grip and stabilize through those "bumps" without much of a problem at all. In fact, I hardly even notice it anymore. I highly recomend securing your throttle in some way to achieve similar results. Admittedly, this is not the only quirk with the X52. However, I'm still overall very satisfied with the functionality of the X52 and believe you took a step in the right direction by picking it up. I would only trade it for a Warthog Thrustmaster, which is a $500.00 high quality force feedback flight stick, which I can't afford, but still admire. X52 has served me very well though.

You know when it's time to take a break from DCS A10-C when.. When asked by the police officer who is standing outside your driver side window "Do you know how fast you were driving back there?" You respond with "This speedometer doesn't even state whether it's indicated or true". Then, two minutes into your roadside sobriety test, your excuse for not walking straight along the white line painted on the asphalt is.. "Nose wheel steering was engaged too early officer". You then mutter something about crosswind as he ensures your head clears the top of the door on his cruiser. Then while sitting in the back seat of the police cruiser, on your way to jail, you drool a bit while staring vacantly at the sophisticated assortment of switches and dials on the front dash of his cruiser. Yup, take a break..
