That guide in that post above, says to get a special cable, but with Windows 7, you hsould be able to use any Ethernet cable you have. Try that and let us know...

Is anyone else not seeing the Master server? Or is it just the Chicago area( a friend and I cannot see it once logged in )? :huh:

Here try this: How to Connect 2 Computers Using a LAN Cable Then from the Multiplayer menu, in the dropdown choose LAN - instead of internet.

Ok then this is a bit harder.... But still possible without a router. Please tell me that you both are NOT using XP... And using Windows Vista or 7( networking has been severely simplified in these 2 OS's ) :huh: Also, I would like to thank you, and all your bretheran, on behalf of the 170th Clan, for your continued service! :thumbup: Please return to Kentucky Safely!

All you need it a brief connection to verify your account info( anti-piracy ). The key is my post above.

Fort Cambell, huh? Would I be wrong to assume, Army, right? Or is that the Marines? Anyway, I have not tried LAN yet, and this is just experience talking here... Easiest way: You need a couple Ethernet cables and a Router. Should just be as simple as plugging both computers into the router. Then check the IP local address with a command prompt and ipconfig. Once you get your internal/local address( should be something like Comp #1 - 192.168.1.1 & Comp #2 - 192.168.1.2 ), then just use the Join by IP button in Multiplayer. Hope that helps! ;-)

The Course needle direction( what the "course" is turned to on the HSI ) is irrelevant when using GPS. The Course Deviation Indicator( CDI ) will center when you are on course and "deviate" left/right when you are off course. The GPS system is constantly updating your Lat Lon, and receiving information from a Satellite. However, the Course Needle direction is important when using INS and straight VOR navigation. Inertial Navigation System( INS ) uses a system of sensors to record your movement. Much like being blind folded in a car and trying to feel where you are going. Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range( VOR ) broadcasts a frequency out in a directional( 0-359° in increments of 1° ) range. Much like the spokes on your Bicycle tire. When you set the Course Needle to a specific degree and have your NAV radio tuned to a specific frequency, you are telling the system that you want to fly on a specific "spoke". The CDI will tell you if you are on that "spoke" or not. Because the INS relies on VORs and other navigation systems like this( ADF, NDB, etc, etc ), you should set your course. Hope that helps!

Yes I worded that incorrectly, but you bring up a good point. Because of this functionality, you could just fly until your CDI is centered. Then turn the course knob until it is at the 12 o'clock position. The course number on the HSI will then tell you the true runway heading.

I just checked. If you go into the ME you will see the true headings at the end of the ILS Fan-Tail. In the simulator you will not. The CDU also has the exact same information as the manual. However, there are only 21 airports total, and of them, there are only 10 of them with ILS. So a couple minutes in the ME and you could create a cheat sheet with the true heading info. *** EDIT *** The CDU does show some info that could be confusing. So... It ONLY shows the nearest 4 airports with the Name on the first line, and the current bearing/distance and TTG on the second line. Note that the bearing is relative to your position; it is not the runway heading.

I misread this post. He is saying where you can find TRUE Runway Heading. Runways are named for their general direction. However, when you have airports such as Atlanta's Hartsfield( KATL ). You will find that there are several names being used. Ex: Rwy 09R/27L, 09L/27R, 08R/26L, 08L/26R and 10/28. If you view the airport diagram for KATL, you will notice that ALL 5 runways are exactly parallel; they all run 094.4°/274.4°. For ILS to be accurate, you need to set your course to the true runway heading, in this case for Batumi it is 126°, even though the runway is designated as 130. What rongor is saying is if you hit F10 you can click on/hover over the ILS Fan-Tail to get the TRUE heading.... I think! I will have to try this out myself.

Aerodrome Data: Page 659 in the DCS A-10C_Flight Manual It has all the airports' runway info, ILS/TACAN/ATC freq's. The only thing it is missing is magnetic variation and true runway heading( used to set the HSI Course to true center line of runway ).

I figured that this might help the newer pilots, as well as seasoned veterans. It is, like the title says, an Interactive VOR/ILS Simulated Trainer created and hosted by Luiz Monteiro. This is the greatest free simulator for the flight simulator community I have found! :thumbup: You will need Adobe Flash installed. :doh: Enjoy! Hope this helps! ;-) :pilotfly:

He is refereeing to the ILS markings( Fan-Tail ) on the Overhead Map. For a better understanding how how this ILS system within the simulator works, it is perhaps better to get an understanding of how the real world system functions. Wikipedia.org has a great section for the ILS System. However, this may be a bit technical for most people, and consequently, too confusing. I have found a link that breaks it down a bit better, and has images that accompany definitions/explanations: Instrument Landing System - ILS Hope those help! ;-)

Well, his warranty is most likely up, as that model Toshiba is Discontinued. I was just getting him to check if his SODIMM Memory Slots could handle a 4GB stick. If the motherboard can handle it he is good to go; which by the way seems to be the case. The motherboards used in these production line computers don't always support everything that is available for purchase. Some boards will not accept such a large single stick. So before you purchase, you need to check if the system can even use it. ;)

Not sure what you mean... :huh: Are you not using that, too? :joystick: ;)

+1

Anytime. Just a side note. That "family" number is what you can use, as Toshiba would have put the same Motherboard into all those rigs. The motherboard is what supports the RAM, not the model of computer. Good Luck! Let me know if you have any x52 Questions...

You should only need the product family - PSAW3U-0CK01K

Support.Toshiba.com That is the search for a Satellite A660. There are several pages you can look through for your part number( PSAW3-0CK01K ). That will tell you for sure... If it is wrong, then sue them! Sue them good! :megalol:

SATELLITE A660 It looks like it will support 8GB of RAM( Max Memory Supported ); that is if those are the specs for the correct machine you are using. The RAM Update WOULD actually help in your case. Your Video is Sharing System RAM and can actually use up to 1696MB( 1.6GB ); see note #5.

I DO NOT own DCS P-51, but wanted to see the model in action, so I added a group of 4 to my mission, with a simple take off, flight around the city and return. However I noticed that the LG doors remain open on the P-51s. I am willing to bet, that this is not the case for the actual DCS P-51 Module. *** EDIT *** Sorry, this is running DCS World with A-10 Module v1.2.2

Maachine, what laptop are you using?

NEVER ASSUME! Was that one 4GB stick, or 2 x 2GB stick? You should consult the manufacturer's website to make sure. ;) Adding a stick of 4GB could render your laptop in-op. If the motherboard doesn't support it.

No problem, I hope you enjoy it! Note that I added a 2nd Edit to include my LUA file for use with the Saitek profile. I also have the Saitek Pro-Flight Rudder Pedals, so you may need to re-adjust your rudder mapping, if you are not using those.

Does your laptop's SODIMM support 4GB sticks?
