We are seeing the results of a Russian public holiday this past week too. The 100th anniversary of their armed forces. The developers have been enjoying a well earned rest. We can expect news soon I am sure.

A repair doesn't affect your DCS saved games folder, so it is always worth temporarily renaming it, and trying with a virgin install. If that solves the issue, just gradually copy across the content of the old saved games folder to the new one until the issue rears it's ugly head again. Once you isolate the culprit, you can remove it permanently.

2 posts are utterly unnecessary. It won't get your answers any quicker. What I do to take down co-ordinates is have the CDU pre-configured so I can just enter them as they arrive. If you get an 8 or 10 figure grid reference, you can simply drop the 4/5 and 9/10th numbers, to change it to a 6 figure reference if needed. It just reduces the accuracy of the location by 1 and 10 metres respectively. A quick search will pinpoint the target. It is something you get quicker at the more you practice.

It isn't hard to find. The subject has been discussed a lot on the forum, and carrying out a search is a discipline none of us living in the technical age should have any problems with. The search facility is prominently placed in the menu bar on the forum, and using it is exactly the same as any other search engine. It even accepts Boolean logic!

It is a digital switch rather than an analogue - proportional one. So it's either on, or off. There's nothing insensitive about that. And if you have issues with it in 2.5, then it is your own installation at fault. There is no inherent problem with the way it is implemented.

The Tarawa was rushed out so the Harrier had something to land on. It is early access - meaning still under development, and as such you must expect issues like this.

As neither are very good at delivering - in Europe at least, then the question is really a little academic don't you think? You can decide which you'd prefer, but unless you can actually order it and take delivery, what is the point?

What version of DCS World are you referring to? 2.5 has the Hercules TACAN added.

Good to hear. Definitely a day 1 purchase!

Jet wash behind the tankers' engines would be good too.

According to Pooley's (A UK air pilot's manual for PPL licence qualifications), the minimum temperature above 36,000 feet is minus 57 degrees centigrade, and that is a constant as seen in nature. So what you're seeing appears to me to be deliberate, and realistic. In other words, to quote Scottie "Ye cannae change the laws of physics Jim"

Not until they get to the bottom of some serious issues that they have mentioned - such as the memory leak.

The mounts as used right now are the external hard points. I believe flexible mounts were also used? That's what we need, the flexible mounts.

It is also well known that the clouds in 2.5 are currently just a slightly updated version of the old 1.5 clouds. They're working on a completely new system, so what you see isn't what you get.

Have you considered the fact that the hydraulic accumulators will remain pressurised for a considerable time after shut down. Hydraulic systems aren't just on or off.

I'll be able to throw some further light on this in 10 days time. Watch this space...

You see a dead horse laying in the road, but you still have milk to deliver. Would you a. Treat the poor old nag to a decent burial. Or b. Flog it and get the milk delivered one way or another? Frankly what you are asking for is patently unsound. If the Harrier updates go out to 1.5.8 ED will be wasting valuable resources that would be much better served improving 2.5. The two branches have diversified sufficiently that a lot of code for one will not work with 1.5.8 - hence the lack of any Harrier updates since the initial roll out. 2.5 has everything that 1.5.8 had, but in a much better looking environment. It's what's been known for decades as progress! Unless you have a low grade PC that struggles to run 2.5 there is no reason to stick with 1.5.8. If your PC is below par, do you think it fair that you hold the rest of the community back, just to save you a little cash?

And your reason for making that leap is what exactly edgtho? A lack of information doesn't mean that alternative similar examples are correct. The simple fact of the matter is that the G and the K are very different animals. Bung a V8 in a Mini Cooper, and I suspect there may be some subtle differences between it and a standard one. Bung a different engine AND a different CofG in a 109, and guess what?...

Your biggest problem with old missions will be the location of new woods. You will need to move stuff around in some missions or it may just be hidden. As to whether updating will break missions under the new system - who knows until you try it out? Just back up the mission first, and see where changes take you.

The version number after the update is 2.5.0.14044.316, so nope you don't have it. The download size is determined by exactly what modules you have installed. If it is saying 3 odd Gig, then that's what you need.

Your target frame rate in VR should be 45 FPS.

Right now you can't as there isn't a way to allocate a frequency. It is a feature yet to be added to the Tarawa.

By helm you mean the a pilot's helmet, and not the conning station in a ship I presume?

1. In the mission editor, set the TACAN channel and frequency in the advanced waypoints for the KC130. 2. In the Harrier, on the UFC, press TACAN, enter the channel, and then enter. Switch on the TACAN whilst it is still selected by pressing on/off on the UFC. On the left you will see T/R, A/A, and X lit up in the thingy panel (sorry, name escapes me). Select T/R and A/A, and with the HSI selected on one of the MFCDs, you should see distance & bearing info in the top right corner, and a triangle outside the compass ring showing direction to the TACAN station. That's it.

Some bugs are fixed quickly, some hang around for a long time. It depends entirely on how major ED consider them to be as to what takes priority and what doesn't. Generally, the Beta updates quickly migrate to the release version after it has been exposed to the community for a while to confirm nothing major is wrong. I am afraid you will be waiting a long time if you want a bug free DCS World. By it's very nature it is constantly evolving, and at any point, things can break. Unless you defer updating until you know that the bugs have been ironed out - as a lot of multiplayer communities do, then you'll get minor and sometimes persistent niggles. The release of 2.5 will we hope make that less of an issue as the underlying technology will not be changing quite as much as it has in the recent past, and having a single basic DCS World will mean less time spent in adapting updates twice too for 1.5 and 2.0.
