  1. I`ll second that wish, I`d LOVE to see a B-17 Module, (or for me, even better a Lancaster..). Actually, I still play B17 the Mighty 8th, - its on steam and I still own a CD version. ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/328900/B17_Flying_Fortress_The_Mighty_8th/ ) The Mighty 8th is what I progressed to playing, after playing Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe & Chuck Yeagers Air-Combat, (I loved those too). I think it would be a blast being able to team up with friends to fill all the roles in a Bomber and take on a full mission. Heres hoping for the future! :)
  2. Ahh that could be it, - do I need to install the open beta then? I`m using DCS 2.5.5 : 41371 JFI, the JF-17 IS appearing in the install list, so anyone with this build will see the same error.
  3. Hi everyone, I wasn`t sure where to ask this but here goes.. Is there some known bug or issue affecting (specifically) this module in the just announced extension of the "stay at home" trial? I booted up DCS and saw the message in module manager telling me new modules were available, but when I accepted the download and install, I repeatedly saw an error message stating "Unknown Module DEKA_JF-17". (see attached pic). https://imgur.com/a/FgC27iD The process then stalled and repeated until I deselected just this module and repeated the install. Its no biggy as theres more than enough with the other modules to keep me busy, but I thought I`d post this in case you guys were unaware of the issue. Thanks again to all for making these modules available during the pandemic, its a generous and very appreciated gesture. Stay safe!
  4. All you have to do is start your DCS client up. - If theres a trial active on that day, you`ll see a notification telling you that you have a new license available. Just follow the prompts. The license/module will be available for the duration of its trial period, (as per the schedule in Toms post above). (P.S. - Make sure your client is up to date, i.e, the latest build.).
  5. Loving my new F16, and looking forward to test driving the F14.. (I won`t put a scratch on it, honest guv`nor....:music_whistling: ) Thanks for doing this,Eagle :thumbup:
  6. I`ve experienced this bug on several modules so to me it doesn`t seem connected to any individual modules, but DCS itself. (Last one was with the I-16, I`ve also seen it whilst using the A-10 and the FA-18). It seems very random, - most of the time the replay is OK but on occasion its like watching someone else at the controls when you replay your flight. Its definitely a `wtf moment` when you watch yourself crash after landing safely in the original.
  7. Hi all, I`ve just updated DCS from 2.5.1 to The latest build. I was experiencing very long loading times (5 - 10 minutes till flying) so after a little googling, I renamed/disabled the saved games DCS folder to reset it to default. When it had finished updating I ran it and all seemed well until I exited the program and saw this message. https://imgur.com/OlIb45A Thinking this strange I took the precaution of de-authorising all my modules, removing ALL the old saved game folders, (there were remnants from the openalpha and openbeta installs in there too) and rebooting/ re-authorising everything. All my modules work ok and loading times ARE better but I`m still seeing this message, can anyone tell me what this means and whether I need to do anything now? Thanks in advance. (N.B. the message only appears after exiting the program) Edit:- All sorted, & my Bad. I was exiting using the log off icon at the top, (blame a long day and bad eyes). Its fine now. Happy shooting everyone. Admin:- I guess This can be deleted. :)
  8. Hello, I have sent you an email regarding my MIG21 Module which fails to install/activate in my copy of DCS 1.5, - I`ve tried the registry fix without success. I Look forward to hearing from you. Nick Wright.
  9. Gotcha, no I didn`t have the map installed, thought the alpha would come with a basic one as the DCS 1.0 did. Ok I`ll purchase the Nevada terrain and see if I can get it up and running, thanks for your help.
  10. Hi, I`m having trouble getting the DCS 2.0 Public Alpha to run at all, on installation the program starts ok and I hear the intro music but I then see a message saying theres no terrain installed, and that I`m not registered. I then see a log in but cannot sign in with my normal DCS web page login. Do I have to re-register in order to try the program? (My Normal DCS installation and modules all seem to be working OK), and I can log onto the main website, I can also log in via the old DCS installation. I tried using the "forgot password" link in case I had mistyped but it sent me to the DCS main web page which told me I was already logged in. Also, can I use my existing DCS modules with DCS 2.0? (assuming I solve the above problem). (Just as an aside, I installed the program on a slave disk as I have an SSD as my C Drive and don`t have enough space on the drive, don`t know if this has any bearing on the problem). Thanks for any help. Specs/System:- I5 3GHz processor, 8GB fast ram, Nvidia 650, Windows 7. (Home built system)

  12. "Beats Flying doesn`t it!" lolol ..... Nope.
  13. Hi Folks , I have a small problem, its no biggie but here goes, I Bought , some time ago, the original Lock On , on DVD from Amazon. I later upgraded it by buying the Flaming Cliffs Pack (download) from DCS. At the time I had some compatibility problems trying to get the Flaming Cliffs pack working on my Windows 7 machine, but eventually managed to install it, with the original Lock On , in my Vista Laptop and thats how I`ve been using it. now my laptop is not the speediest of beasts so I would prefer to run it on the windows 7 machine. (Thats half of the "problem"). The other half is that I have now purchased DCS P-51 (download ) and installed it with DCS Main program on the windows 7 machine. -I would LIKE to integrate everything and just have them all installed from within DCS Main program on the windows 7 machine as I have also just upgraded the Graphics card and Upped the memory to 8GB. The problem I have is integrating everything - on the main website, the Flaming Cliffs pack is still showing as a purchase option for me, (I do have a Key and Activation code plus a hardware number originally supplied by DCS). - I have not attempted moving anything yet as I wanted to consult with one of your knowledgable "Guru`s" in order to get it right first time. Edit:- OK -Found the problem - I have the Flaming Cliffs Version 1.12b , - didn`t realise this was a new Edition.
