Yes, haven't played dcs recently, but that was still bugged a few months ago. Come on guys, with stronger ffb hardware this becomes a real safety hazard.

Problem cloning NVME with my DCS install
some1 replied to Beirut's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
It's even simpler than that. Don't touch Steam, just copy the folder from old drive to the new one, turn off PC, replace drives, turn on PC. Last but not least check if Windows assigned the same drive letter to the new drive as was used by the old drive, if not, correct that in Disk Management. That's all. No need to fiddle with 3rd party cloning or partitioning software. -
You can order from amazon.com with shipping to eu for a few extra bucks.

That's more of an opportunity cost than straight money loss. Maybe those users won't pay money for the next product, maybe they spend credit on something they would not purchase otherwise.
-
Only for the Eagle. And it does not cost them anything to do so (other than support time), they already have that money. If anything, it frees the money that was put aside for Razbam, to be used by ED freely.
-
There was some talk about it a long time ago, but either that never materialized or Razbam was exempt. It's all hush hush NDA so as customers we know very little about these things. ED barely has the manpower to maintain their own modules, without the burden of handling 3rd party code.
-
Why would they, and where? Razbam probably does not even have the resources to sue a Swiss company across from another continent. ED has little incentive to do so, they already have all the cards, cashing in all the money from Razbam sales for over a year. They can prolong the current situation indefinitely. The only thing ED is loosing is a bit of consumer trust and support. Not a big deal when there is little competition on the market.
-
1. ED does not have the Razbam code. 2. Nothing really prevents VEAO situation from repeating again. Except maybe this time ED will be more careful not to introduce game breaking changes that would render older modules non-functional. I think the arrival of Vulkan rendering will be a big test, in the past such major changes to DCS rendering pipeline usually broke something in every module and required developers to scramble and make fixes.

Not only bombs but also 530 missiles are fired in a salvo now.

Compared to other DCS aircraft from ED, the dynamic glass reflections on instruments are much too strong. Also, the effect is using a low resolution map of rear headrest area to create "reflections", which gets very jarring once you start moving the head around the cockpit. Default view: Shifted view: The "reflected" area. For reference, here's how this effect looks in ED P-47 and Mi-24 aircraft parked in the same spot. Note the reflection is maybe half as strong (or less), and more blurred, avoiding the very jagged lines we have in F-5.

Licensing is one of the issues. You can't just slap the data scraped from Google maps services into your software for free.
-
Good idea, added.

Dcs shouldn't have issues with two identical devices as it is, it handles them fine. The only issue may be that it changes the order in which controllers are shown in the menus, so it may not be obvious which is which, but the mappings stay in place once done.

Yep, it looks like VOR/DME issues have been fixed at some point in the last few years since I made that post. I checked a VOR/DME station on PG map and DME works there using TACAN radios. So if you have a VOR/DME on a map, you should be able to receive the distance on a Tacan radio if you dial the corresponding channel. Unfortunately a standalone DME like Paphos (108.90) here on Syria map does not seem to work. And we still don't have an ILS/DME navaid type defined in the sim, so most real world approaches can't be flown. Looks like here the map developer attempted to recreate ILS/DME setup by manually placing a DME near the runway threshold, on the same frequency as the Localizer. Except it's only on a single airport, and it doesn't work anyway.

In case you experience very long DCS loading times, exclude DCS folder from antivirus scan. That often helps.
