  1. Yup, me too... I could not update the last 2.5 unified version; I had an error messgae telling me I did not have enough memory on my 480Gb SSD. I have not been able to buy any new contaent lately because of this problem. I only have DCS and Win10 on this PC... so I guess I will have to purchase another SSD (drive 'D') and then try and move some stuff? Not sure how easy that will be though... as I have the Beta version and the standard version. Actually the new unified version has me wondering if I still need the Beta version... is it still valid to keep the beta now? Hopefully ED will start looking at this memory usage as things are getting quite BIG and with even more content (larger files) on the horizon. We need an easier way of shifting maps and DCS versions from drive to drive or sharing drives. I am not into all that DOS/CMD file moving stuff... I know if I tried that my DCS would never work again LOL
  2. Yeah... the only reason I use DCS is for the Huey. I have all the world modules and add-ons... but only as a back drop to the Huey. Alasa it does appear to be the poor relative in the DCS stable :( Updates far and few and no sign of any developement. The worlds formost flight Sim and the worlds most iconic helicopter seem to have fallen out of bed! I won't go on... as Eight Ball in his post above has covered most points. Come on ED, give BST a reminder that we are still here and that DCS has moved on!
  3. Hi... don't get on DCS much as I would like and mainly fly the HUey. I have not installed a mission for some time, I have d/loaded the mission file... could someone remind me please where/which folder I install the mission file?
  4. I have been having all sorts of problems with my usb WH and rudder pedals of late with the Huey... sometimes the flight control just dissapears after several minutes (and its not the EGT turbo failure)... also when I choose an instant action... it will sometimes work OK, but if you try to re-run the action after a crash... again there is no flight control. This is with the Open Beta... so obviously expect bugs; but hope they are sorting these USB flight control problems out?
  5. We seem to have had Alpha and or Beta versions of DCS it seems for ever... will there ever come a time when we will just run with the stable version? I appreciate the reasons why... Apha's and Beta's being test beds for such a complex bit of kit... just asking. :music_whistling:
  6. It's a shadow of the invisable alien craft from Area 51... OK, perhaps not...
  7. If you use iTrackR make sure you have centered iTrackR as the retical can lose center focus and hide to one side of the gun sight optic.
  8. Also, after switching the gunsight retical on with Rt/Ctrl/M and you have the gunsight 'dropped' for action, if you use iTrackR make sure you have centered itrackR, else the retical can lose center focus as it hides to the side of the viewing optic.
  9. Yup, as Kang said... make sure you have the use trim button engaged top of center consul... caught me out a few times!
  10. Very sad news indeed. DCS is a worthy lagacy. RIP Yes, something in DCS as an ongoing memorial; a splendid idea.
  11. Good to that... as I stated in previous thread I don't get on as much as I would like; so not totally up to speed.
  12. The UH-1 Huey is my favorite craft in the DCS sim and was very popular when it first appeared. However, I can't but think the gloss is wearing thin... There is an engine bug that takes the engine out after a few minutes flight unless you are ultra careful. We are still awaiting a fix. In the Normandy Map menu 'Instant Action' there are no training or free flight options as their are for other aircraft. I think the MI8 helo suffers the same fate too! I have also noticed that many on-line missions in multiplayer are not including the Huey as a flight option any longer; this is just too bad :( I hope some of these issues can be resolved... perhaps it is a Belsimtek problem rather than ED...? I must admit I am not a frequent user as some are... so perhaps I am missing something here although I do appreciate that ED have done a splended job of late bringing us beta 2.5 ^
  13. Yup, I am getting the same problem... flying the Huey as I have since I first started to use it... now I find I only get about 10 minutes of flying time before the engine goes poop. At first I thought it was a USB controller problem. D'oh, how can they break things that have been working fine up until now? I hope Belsimtek has been made aware of the problem... else we could wait for ever for a fix. The Huey seems to have fallen out of favour of late with a lot of original users... so many new treets in the sweet shop eh!
  14. Should not use the word xbox round here... it's a swear word!
  15. The server refresh is still not operating correctly... I tried to get into 'Online Aerobatics'... it wasn't until two hours online and multible attempts that it showed on the server list. By then it was bed time LOL
  16. Yup, I am having to do multiple server seeks before I get the servers I am after... seems to be random what servers I get; certainly not a full list of whats available. We need to get the multiplayer server list working; its fairly important I think.
  17. Multiplayer not working here on v 1.5.7 & 2.2.... I only see half a dozen serners up on multiplayer! Needs fixing ASAP.
  18. Yup, getting the same problem after the last update... on v 1.5 and 2.0 I am only getting half a dozen servers on each multiplayer page; before it went off the screen and had to scroll down. I presume ED know about this multiplayer bug?
  19. I had to use the manual updater to progress from 2.0 to 2.1... the auto updater did not action. First time it has ever done that... but as I can remember having to use DOS in years gone by to make games run (remember the 640kb limit LOL) so it was not a problem, but I can appreciate that for some bods that have only ever used windows and a clicking mouse it could be a bit daunting going to the command line interface - CD\ etc. Congrats to ED though for bring us this beautiful sim... the future is looking very bright indeed :) ^
  20. For the the notoriously flimsy Pro clip... I fitted the NP clip over my Turtle Beach PX21's head-band.... then two tie-wraps to keep the useless NP clip in place and stop it from flipping open. I don't take it off... the PX21 headset and pointer are parked on a dremel bracket when not in use.
  21. Thanks for the reply Sporg... I have also discovered another huge thread on this forum with regard to deactivating and activating... from what I have read so far (unless they have changed it) you get ten activications for each module, map etc. Well, as I don't keep building PC's and installing new OS I would be quite happy to keep my old PC with DCS activated and use up some spare activications on the new PC that I hope will last a few years before any new DCS hardware upgrade is needed again. Also, it appears you get a new refreshed activication added every month. More than enough for me :) Thanks for the link to the Updater Utility. I can understand the security requirement with ED... but can't see why you can't just sign in with your account on and only one PC at a time... who cares which PC or hardware you are using?
