scottt

I decided to give this a chance and have now played around 20hours. I have actually been enjoying it (after installing a few mods) and can see that it has huge potential. But Its going to take some time. I hope to come back to an improved game in a few months time.

uuurgh what a horrible game, I am so disappointed. Can't believe I paid £40 for this... its not the bugs either, its the game itself, its beyond saving I think.

So what do we need to do to get DCS to add a dynamic campaign/s ? I would gladly donate money!, a kickstarter maybe? This sim would be incredible and unrivaled for a long time to come with this addition.

deleted , joined another group instead.

I long for a dynamic campaign , I would probably play nothing else and would definitely buy all the dcs modules to get the best out of it.

Ambushed!

just sent you a steam friend invite , I'm 'Jacknine'. Im loving the campaign as well , although I think there needs to be a little tweaking with initiative points somewhere. Brave chinook pilot resupplying two of my front line tanks...

lots of complaining on the forums regarding the 20min time limit in campaign battles. I only got a quick look last night , but I believe 20mins equates to one day of battle The battle can last several days , so the sectors you take/lose in the first twenty minutes are crucial to how the battle is shaped on the second day. Something like that anyway...

Had a good game against the AI last night. I picked the British battlegroup, I set both teams to NATO, the AI I think picks one at random. I took a few zones and setup a forward line with a mix of Challenger and Crusader tanks , whilst putting Fusilier infantry into towns on the left and right side. I also setup some Rapier Sam's and AAA just behind the line , with a few Mortar units. I waited and waited , but the enemy never came. Sending some recon units up to forward positions revealed that the nme was building a force similar to mine , he had also picked the British! I like the way that if you put recon troops into high up positions , like mountains, they are able to see for a long way. I then started doing 'shoot and scoots' with my Challengers , moving them up one at a time, taking out nme armor that had been spotted and retreating quickly, I took a few hits , but quickly brought a few supply trucks up to do repairs. I was also able to put down some mortar barrages onto know nme positions. It seems they didn't like this , next thing a swarm of Harriers and Tornado appears overhead and all hell breaks loose , followed by approx 6 groups of Royal marines who stormed my front line and took out several of my tanks. It was too late by now and I had to go to bed , it seems there isnt a save function so I called it a stalemate. It launches tonight I believe, which means its dynamic campaign time :)

When BS1 came out (2008 I think) , I bought a copy of it. I am convinced that I used the same email address that I use for personal use today , cant think why I would of used another. When I came back to buy BS2 upgrade a few months back , my email was not accepted. Have there ever been any account wipes or anything? , Im really stumped as to why it wouldnt work..

There is nothing wrong with spotted dick, but you must have decent custard. Grats OP!, a nice thread this one..

I just bought the game/beta on Friday, I cannot agree more with this statement! It has Harriers and Lynx heli's :) , I just like zooming in to look at them whilst my other units get blown to pieces! My swedish AI opponent sent a Viggen in, so I spent the next minute flying along with it whilst it destroyed my troops!. I must try actually win a game , would help if I had a manual though , I never played EE so was a bit lost to begin with..

Did you try what was in my earlier post, enabling erp in the APM config in the bios?

I still cant see a way of ordering aircraft to Takeoff or Land from the F10 view , which apparently was added in 1.24. If anyone knows how , please let me know..

Anyone in the UK see this on TV last night? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phE1ddDPpOw watch from 10:00 to 12:00 some crazy flying in what I think is a Robinson , it looks like the one I had a lesson in. as a side note , I had no Idea Australia had so many camels!

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/327341-30-computer-powers-itself-bios-setting-p8z77 jstluise said: We have a solution thanks to the guys over at ASUS. "ErP Ready" mode must be enabled under the APM Configuration in the BIOS. This solved the problem for me. When the machine shuts down with the Wifi adapter enabled, the Wifi LED will go off (instead of staying on like before). As far as what "ErP Ready" mode is, I am not familiar with it. ASUS said there is a Wifi wakeup and this will disable it. Still doing some research. If anyone would like to explain it, that would be awesome! EDIT: In the manual, under the "ErP Ready" section, it says, "This item allows user to switch off some power at S5 to get the system ready for ErP requirement." S5 state is the shutdown/OFF state. So it makes sense when it says it switches off power at the S5 state; it switches off power to the Wifi module, essentially disabling it and not allowing it to turn the machine on. Beyond that, I'm not sure what the purpose of ErP is.

Did somebody just say 'Dynamic campaign'? Anyone have an info on that?

Spot on there Leafer :) I am married with a 3.5 year old. I have been a gamer for years and before our child arrived I had so much time to spend gaming, but a part of me also though that maybe I spent a tad too much time on the PC. Having a child changed all of that, you just don't realise what you did with all your spare time before they arrived. I try to split everything 50/50 with my wife so that we both get some downtime when we need it (although she sees it more as 60/40!). I think its really important that you each get some time to yourself now and again for your sanity! If I get time on the PC , its at the end of the night , or maybe snatch 30 mins on a saturday or something, I had my daughter on my lap whilst I took off in the SU-25T the other day , she loved it, but loved the parachute the most, so I kept having to eject!

Haha , that is funny. Very similar to my lesson in hovering in the R22, although there were no trees above me!

maybe he was using a 9800 modem at the time...

yes, you can un install once youve installed Fc3

Rest assured you are not the only one experiencing this , hopefully we will see a fix soon. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=104934
