Hi Zahry, Received fixed extension yesterday, tested today - flawless. Many thanks. :thumbup:

Got your email, many thanks. I was sure I put my return address on the back...oh well :doh:

Hi Zahry, Just checking in to see if you received the extension I sent back? Hoping you can fix this one for me.

Thanks Yurgon - it was a corrupt installer. I used the torrent and I have it installed and working now.

OK next problem. I found and downloaded the module version of BS2 (via the link) but I can't get it to install. I get an error saying "The version of the file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running". I'm running Win7 64. Why am I getting this error? Are there multiple versions of the module? Learning a ramp start was easier than this.

And that would be the noob mistake :D. Thanks for the link.

I bought the full version rather than the upgrade of BS2 because I saw all the problems people were having trying to get an upgraded version of BS1 to BS2 to play with DCS World (I know its not insurmountable but I like a simple life). I own BS1 but haven't had installed since I rebuilt my system so it doesn't exist in any form on my PC. I have three physical disks, 2 SSDs and 1 HDD. I have DCS World and A10c installed on my SSD G: Drive at G:\Games\DCS World. I installed DCS World and then A10c and the two integrated no problem. I cannot get BS2 to install to and to play with DCS World. Either it doesn't know DCS World exists or the other way around. Seeing that A10c appears under the Mods folder in DCS World on my G Drive I thought I'd install BS2 there. No luck, BS2 works well enough (except there are no training missions for some reason) but it may as well be on a different machine as it doesn't integrate in any way with DCS World. Why doesn't DCS World come with an installer for its modules :mad: ? What am I doing wrong? How can I get BS2 and DCS World to work together? Where should I be installing BS2. I don't install any games (or DCS World) within Windows Programs Folders becuase Windows is a bitch and UAC is a SOAB.

Hey no worries - I just appreciate the fact there is someone out there with the interest and dedication to do this and I'm glad I have the means to support it.

Thanks Zahry - maybe ten years ago I'd of given this a try and I could probably do it, but now I'm just to old to be asked. I appreciate there is likely to be some issues with a new project and I hope you don't mind if I opt to send this back to someone who knows what they are doing.

I read the thread again and I assume you are talking about modifying the extension so the connectors protrude a little more? My issue (I think) is at the top of the extension where the connector is not making contact with the handle. Getting it to protrude a little more would probably solve the problem but I don't think I'm competent enough or have the tools to do that.

Just received my extension. Try as I might it will not connect electronically to the stick. The connector isn't working on the top of the extension. The stick works fine without the extension but isn't recognised when I try to attach it to the connector on the top of the extension. Any suggestions before I return it?
