Dagger71

Ok so I have been trying this mission a few times but keep getting a Laser bug when first approaching the target. Laser works from after takeoff but once I hit wp 3 the laser no longer works. Setup auto lase 8 secs and latch on.. but won't engage. get auto lase fail message. It will only work after I reach and fly over the target. Anyone else getting this issue?

Ya that's what I read as well. Which was why I was asking, cause it definitely won't slew at the same rate as the slew button (even when I change slew rate to 2). In fact I see no difference when using DMS in MAV mode.

As the title is asking... what is being adjusted when pressing DMS with MAV SOI?? I haven't seen any changes to MAV views.

Thanks Eno! Makes sense and not a complicated process. I'll give it a try tomorrow.

Did they really fix it??? Awesome!!! Since switching to 64 bit Win7, this was one of the biggest issues I have been experiencing during my sim time with A10c. I'll have to give it a go tonight!

Eno, I haven't been using markpoints yet, so I have a few questions. When you mark a point will they be numbered sequentially (if you mark more than one area?). If so how are you able to easily remove them once you dispatched the enemy in the area? (I don't use the CDU yet, but willing to try if its an easy way)

You can use L Ctrl + F10 to go to exterior view just before they dispense (when using using F6). It's tough to get it right, but its the easiest way right now. I LOVE watching my CBU 87s/97s submunitions exploded all around taking out several vehicles at once. The only thing more satisfying is a zoomed-in gun run on a grouping of enemy and seeing them (and hearing them) explode under you as you pass over them!!!

Yes it is. Look under ground units subcategory, Rearming.

AI does it automatically near a resupply truck (ural or M818) or warehouse. For player controlled, use Left ALT + ' (According to manual) . Haven't tested it out yet.

I just happened to be looking on kajiji (like acraig's list) last night if anyone was selling them, and saw an add for the warthog and ch pedals 300$ for all. Skeptical, Isent him an email and got a answer this morning (MBA student who did'n't have time to use it so decided to sell it to somone who needs it). Drove 1.5 hours to test it out (he had ARMA3 on for me to fly in). and brought it home spending the night binding the keys to my preference. I am completely blown away by it!!!!! This is a game changer to the same magnitude of when I purchased my TrackIR 5 2 years ago. This is by far the most important piece of hardware for any flight sim fan out there!!! I would be hard pressed to even take track ir over this (but its damn close) And since it was made specifically for this game, it runs flawlessly!! I can trim the plane easily in seconds, acquire target and dispose of them using any weaponwithout ever touching the keyboard. No dead zones on any axis, it is responsive when needed but also EXTREMELY stable when you only need to finely adjust your path. I also use Icontrol DCS, but I hardly even touched the screen, other than for some dms profiles. The only problem is taking off with the new pedals since I always ever used Logitech 3d twist joystick, so it's really though breaking out of the habit and using the pedals effectively, but I will get there. I also tested it out on wwiionline, and combined with real rudders, I will say it was extremely responsive. I have been looking at this setup for almost 2 years and I still can't believe what I experienced. If anyone is even remotely considering this, don't hesitate, buy it! Next I can't wait to try it out on fsx (have to reinstall on my hybrid drive first, so that will take a full day), but I can already tell what I can expect.

Well, after doing some more training missions (to see if I missed anything). Well it looks like changing the slew to 2 option on Mavs make it MUCH easier to slew (with using ground stab when needed). Add some Joystick curve and deadzone adjustments for Logitech 3d Pro, and tonight, haven't used it yet (other than to listen to some training). I can actually keep the plane stable and slew to target in much shorter time. I believe tonight I will quit using it.

Well thanks for the input so far. I must say I am quite surprised to see I am the only one still using active pause. That says two things to me, firstly, the game will get "easier" and eventually I won't need it anymore. Secondly, I still have a LOT to learn and it will take a while yet. I am going to be looking for some MP action tonight, and hopefully wean myself off the super cheat of Active pausing.

Starting out, so I am using it constantly. Currently I need to use it to lock on targets with TGP and Maverick (maverick TV is unusable for me without active pause). I can't wait to get a HOTAS WH, but for now I have to use combination Joystick/KB, making it a little tricky to target, maintain level flight and prepare the attack all in real time. So I'd like to know how often and when people are using it.

PLEASE Eagle Dynamics I beg you! (give us access to game settings during the game!) Allow us the options to view and change the game settings (video, controls gameplay etc) while in game!!!! I am just starting out in this, (doing reasonably well with A-10C, and CA), but I also want to master FC3 and KA 51. We need the option to access game settings to be able to change them on the fly (Keymapper/controls access is a MUST!). After purchasing a new hybrid HDD, the game loads much quicker, BUT it is still a huge pain to stop and quit the game because you want to make a little change, reload the same game, then realize the setup is not as intuitive as you thought, so you must shut down the game make another change and reload. I am still using a Logitech 3d Pro and so I will be continuously reverting to the control options to tweak it. One night it took me almost 4 hours to tweak my controls, but if I had the option to do it on the fly, it shouldn't have taken more than 20 mins. Video settings are what I want to tweak next (won't be touching FC3 for a while since A10C took so long to setup) and again, it will require a lot of time (maybe 45-100 mins to test 3 different settings independently?), so I am not looking forward to it.

Did you download and install the 64 bit drivers for this stick? If you cannot calibrate in device manager there is definitely a problem with joystick or drivers. I am suspecting driver issue. Also it is wrong to assume that any joystick would automatically calibrate itself. I usually calibrate my 3d pro every few days to ensure proper response.

Thanks all! Running 1.25 and no issues! I am actually just starting to learn the beast

misread the post. I thought there would be a file named 1.25. I am now forcing a downgrade and will post if it works. I really appreciate you taking the time and setting me straight! If it doesn't work I'll be back to retract my last statement (joking!)

1.26 using win 7 32 bit want to rollback to 1.25 since it worked under win 7 32bit

Yes let us know if renaming worked. I had checked earlier when I did my second repair and noticed that it did re-write zweiBlau.dll (although I did not rename) and it still would not load a flight.

Ok I'll accept that 64 bit is the way to go and have seen the release by DCS claiming 32 bit support will eventually end. But I think the OP has a valid question for those of us waiting to get an official response. If 1.26 (and any future patch) can no longer work with 32bit, can DCS please give us an option to roll back to 1.25 until we get our systems up to min requirements? Is anyone running 1.26 using 32 bit Win 7?

yes 32 bit windows. Looks like 1.26 might have killed it for 32 bit windows? There must be SOME users with 32bit who can start the sim?

I realize the current 1.26 has caused a lot of problems for many people. Chances are a fix probably won't come for a month, or maybe if lucky a couple of weeks. Before I re-install everything, I'd like to know if anyone had the DCS stopped loading when loading a flight with 1.26 and re-installed, successfully. I don't want to go this route, and kind of skeptical it will even work, but if people can confirm it indeed will work, I might give it a go. Cheers

Bin\ folder doesn't have it I don't have the 1.25 install files anywhere on this pc anymore. Looking for an archive mirror location if anyone knows.

I cannot play on 1.26 (ticket sent and thread open). I would like to downgrade back to 1.25 but cannot find the archive patches on this site Is there a mirror site which would still have this file? On DCS page "Previous versions" only gives access to 1.1.1.1 version and "Patch archive" only has access to Patch from 1.1.2.0 to 1.1.2.1 for DCS: World (English)
