  1. The only digital reference I have is this: http://www.gyges.dk/Digital%20Luftwaffe%20WW2%20colours.pdf Hope that helps :)
  2. Ok thanks. I figured they were probably still working it out, but it can't hurt to ask. I'll hold on and wait for the announcement :)
  3. Sith, since you're answering questions, I have a few minor ones: - Will there will still be a community to poll to choose the free aircraft? If so, any idea what kind of time (before all aircraft are released, after some are, etc)? - Will there will even be a free aircraft (or maybe more than 1?)? - Will anything come of the logo competition? These aren't Kickstarter-specific promises/goals/rewards, so I was just wondering what ED intends to do with these minor topics. I'm sure there are other minor community-related things like this which I'm forgetting. I guess I'm just asking whether ED is planning to work with some of the ideas RRG brought to the DCS community outside of Kickstarter.
  4. You mean in the "Missions" section? If I finish mission 4 in the missions section, will I then be able to play mission 5 in the campaign section or will I need to do the campaign missions through the mission section from now on?
  5. I was playing through mission 3 and had to leave home before I could finish it. So, I saved the replay/track and when I got back, I opened the replay, took control near where I left off and then finished the mission. I got "Mission Success" and quit out, but after that, I didn't see any option to progress to the next mission of the campaign. I remember reading somewhere that you can use track files as kind of save files. Is this still true? If so, how do I get the campaign to move onto mission 4, using the track file? If this isn't possible, how do I make the campaign move onto mission 4 anyway (i.e. skip mission 3)?
  6. Hi, I was just wondering if there's some kind of discount that I can get on FC3 if I already own the A-10A and Su-25? At $15, it's a good price for all of the planes, but I've already paid that much for the A-10 and Su-25 (at 50% discount). I can't see any option to get a discount for it, but I thought I'd ask just in case. If not, I guess I'll have to wait until the other FC3 planes are released individually.
  7. For me, I'm just wondering because I have some friends who are moderately interested, but they both only want to fly the P-47. I was hoping to find out what the free aircraft is (but it seems it's not yet known) so that if it's not the P-47, I can choose 3 P-47s and give my friends the keys (the things you do to make friends fly with you...). But if it is the P-47, I'd hate to have essentially wasted 3 of my choices by picking the free aircraft.
  8. Huh? I'm not sure that answers my question...I didn't realise backers voted for the free plane though. Has the vote already happened? If not, does anyone know when it will be?
  9. Originally there were going to be 3 free planes, but it was changed to one free plane. I never ended up seeing a statement which said which plane would b the free one. Has there been any announcement about which plane will be the free plane for DCS WWII? If not, does anyone know and could say? Just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed any announcement on it and I'm curious to find out which one it will be.
  10. Awesome, thanks! :) It seems a little dark, though, but that might just be the lighting. The one here (http://www.vaasapages.com/pics/AirShow20.06.08/dscn4303.jpg) seems lighter in colour. Other than that, it seems to be a perfect match.
  11. Just noticed this. Is this available for download?
  12. As others have said, your claim that the current backer are the entirety of the 2013 flight sim community is just ridiculous. You're telling me that roughly 2000 customers make up the entire DCS, IL-2:BoS (which has more pre-purchasers than this project has backers...), IL-2:1946, RoF, FSX, X-Plane, all of the hundreds of module makers for the previously mentioned games, and all of the joystick manufacturers? How much must these customers each need to spend, in order for these businesses to be viable?? The problem is not trying to make the game more mainstream; it's trying to attract more simmers. I think that Kickstarter might just never be a great place for flight sims - perhaps most simmers need to be able to get something right away for their money, instead of a promise? It's how I feel, but I don't know if I represent the norm. Also, I don't think Wings of Prey sold well. Birds of Prey (the console release) briefly made it to 6th place on the PS3 sales chart, but only on the day it was released, I believe (maybe from preorders?). PC WoP was a pretty average game and a terrible sim. The servers are dead -they don't even work any more - but a few years ago when they worked, they had less than a dozen players on. I'm not sure why you think WoP was more successful than DCS and RoF; I'm not seeing any evidence of that at all.
  13. I'm usually flying my Su-25, but I get this error when flying everything, not just the Su-25. I've got the Huey module installed and have it activated.
  14. I've flown the Huey since 1.2.6, but I'm still getting the error. I once thought I had a fix for the error, played for 2 hours without crashing and then it crashed with the same error again.
  15. Any chance you'd want to check your Event Viewer logs? Open 'Event Viewer', expand the 'Windows Logs' folder tree (on the left), click on 'Application' in that tree, in the window in the top center look for any Application Errors (you can sort by Source and that might make it easier to find). Some of them will involve the dcs.exe; these are the ones to look at. I'm just interested to see if you have some them mention uh1_protect.dll. I seem to always have that error logged when I crash, and then also have a second error logged which involves another .dll (not the same one each time).
  16. This is the same as what I'm getting! Here: dcs.exe 1.2.6.17746 5225b96f uh1_protect.dll 5.70.46.4 5225bcb4 40000015 000000000002e2ee 428 01ceb8614bbbe398 C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\dcs.exe C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\mods\aircrafts\Uh-1H\bin\uh1_protect.dll 96cd7760-2455-11e3-be25-bc5ff409eab9 That error occurs and then 10 seconds later (according to Event Viewer), this one occurs: dcs.exe 1.2.6.17746 5225b96f ZweiBlau.dll 1.2.6.17746 520e4b0b c0000005 0000000000030005 428 01ceb8614bbbe398 C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\dcs.exe C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\ZweiBlau.dll 9c1997ac-2455-11e3-be25-bc5ff409eab9 And the time before that I got this: dcs.exe 1.2.6.17746 5225b96f uh1_protect.dll 5.70.46.4 5225bcb4 40000015 000000000002e2ee ab4 01ceb746295c1e76 C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\dcs.exe C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\mods\aircrafts\Uh-1H\bin\uh1_protect.dll 987cb939-233a-11e3-b705-bc5ff409eab9 And then this: dcs.exe 1.2.6.17746 5225b96f NGModel.dll 1.2.6.17746 520e4b05 c0000005 000000000002074f ab4 01ceb746295c1e76 C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\dcs.exe C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\NGModel.dll 99c802c2-233a-11e3-b705-bc5ff409eab9 I own the Huey and I'm not currently flying it. All of these crashes have been with the Su-25. I swear, if this crashing is being caused by the stupid bloody DRM that ED have put on DCS, I will not buy any more modules.
  17. Sure thing. I don't have time to test it more now, but tomorrow I should be able to. Thanks for your help :) Edit: I just had a thought - I might have used too high of a time acceleration. I pressed the key combo to increase it a little too much and got to the point where I had ~3 to 5 FPS. I then turn it down and flew like that for 2 minutes, and then turned it down some more. So maybe there's some kind of maximum time acceleration which is stable? I was using it in the missions before when I didn't get crashes, but I might have just not been turning it up so high.
  18. Yep. Do you think that's what it could be? I'd been using it (and at a higher acceleration) for probably 2 minutes, then reduced it and after a minute it crashed. I guess I should try playing without it; but the 100+ km long stretches in the Su-25 campaign can be very dull at normal speed, lol.
  19. Nope, I just got a crash (same runtime error as before). Guess it was just luck that it didn't happen for the first mission. Now I'm back to trying to work out other fixes.

  20. I thought about that, but forgot where I'd mapped it :doh: However, I made sure that I had the launch light (the pink/red one on the right) when I tried to fire. I thought that the launch override just meant that this light would show up if it wasn't already showing up? I'm not sure though. Even if I can't fire the missiles like that (since the targeting and slewing didn't seem to be working), I thought there'd be a way to just release the bombs.
  21. I was playing around with the Su-25 and I ended up getting a little bit shot up by ground forces. My nose was still on (thankfully - it has a nasty habit of just disappearing), but it had some holes in it and seemed to be missing some pieces. Anyway, I still had my reticle and my laser still turned on and off. I'd already fired off one guided missile and I thought I'd fire off the second. So, I turned on my laser and tried to slew the reticle (like normal) - but it wouldn't move. I figured I must have taken some damage to one of my targeting systems. So I tried firing it anyway (keeping the reticle over the target as steady as I could) and held the trigger down for ages. Nothing happened. I then tried my RBK bombs and, again, nothing happened. I tried my other two missiles and none worked. My gun still worked ok, so I used that up and RTBed. Firstly, does anyone know what exactly went wrong? Some system in particular which got hit. Secondly, is it possible to still launch missiles and drop bombs in this state? Is there some kind of "fire even though there's no targeting" override button? I used up all my rockets at that point, so I'm not sure whether the problem was actually that my trigger no longer worked for all wing-mounted weapons, rather than just weapons which used the targeting system. I'd really love to be able to just drop the bombs anyway and fire the missile as if they were rockets - that seems better than just jettisoning them before I land.
  22. Ok, I tried joining a multiplayer game and then playing singleplayer. I'm going to *tentatively* say that it worked. I finally managed to finish the first mission of the Su-25 campaign, since DCS finally did not crash. I'm not going to get excited yet; I'll keep flying and see if nothing happens for another few missions, before I'm ready to declare it fixed. However, it does seem to be better now. Also, I've still been using time acceleration, so it seems that it might not have been a problem. I have no idea why this fix would work though. Is there any reasoning or have I just got quite lucky (it was crashing every single time in around 20 consecutive missions and now did not crash)?
  23. As I said in my previous post, though; I tried that fix (updating my C++ Runtimes to 2012) and it didn't do anything at all for me. I'm open to suggestions, but I'm erring on the side of it being an issue with DCS, rather than my end. Maybe when I can be bothered, I'll try rolling back to 1.2.5 and see if that fixes it, but I think that will mean I won't be able to use my Mi-8? I'm still looking around for other ideas to fix it, but I'm not seeing too many. I read on here that joining a multiplayer game (something I've never done, yet) fixes it for some people, so I might give that a go soon. If I find a fix, I'll let you know in this thread :)
  24. Yeah, I'm starting to see that. I've read a lot of posts from people saying that going back to 1.2.5 fixed everything for them. I don't really want to roll back to 1.2.5, so I guess my main option right now is to wait for 1.2.7 and hope it fixes everything.
