I think that dvbuljan means that he created MP mission with custom payloads, but later on when serving he cannot choose those payloads using ingame Maintenance menu. It may be probably cos those payloads for MP are created as fixed, and in MP you cannot call anything else via Maintenance menu. Those payloads are in l10n language files (I'm doing a localization). They wouldn't be in l10n if you can customize them - then you will have to translate them as well. ... or that ;)

No, no virtualization. XOR :D 1) Ayeh, I understand. I've deactivated my FC2 (Russian version which I gave to a buddy, and then bought and activated English version for myself), but I do not remember there was any message apart from "Product deactivated, thanks and see you later". I'll guess I'll have to wait for some official explanation on this one? 3) Okay. Thanks to both! If anybody else has similar experience, please post them here.

There is only ONE computer in each case. Does EULA mention this dual-boot option? I had no time to read carefully :dunno:

Thanks for quick reply! 1) Are you sure? You keep your activation by reactivating with Serial+deactivation code given? darn, I've missed that one week ago. Do you have any link to official info on that? 2) Great. Some users are using Acronis, some other stuff. 3) But, they will work OK? Nothing will mess up activations? Sorry to bother, but I'm a messenger here, have to be 100% sure :) Cheers!

Hi, I have some inquires from my buddies that I cannot answer. These are the most risky for me to answer: 1. I activated FC2, but I want to reinstall my OS. There will be no changes in hardware. Simple format and install. a) Do I have to deactivate and activate FC2? b) Will I loose one activation in the process? 2. I activated FC2 on clean OS. Then I've created a backup image using application XYZ. After few days I've messed my OS. I want to use XYZ to restore my backup image. Image contains installed and activated FC2. There will be no changes in hardware. a) Does image restoration preserve activation? b) Do I have to deactivate and activate FC2? c) Will I loose one activation in the process? 3. I have two OS on my PC, Win XP and Win 7. They both use the same hardware (nothing is disabled for one or other). I want to install FC2 on both OS, and to be able to use each installation. a) Can I use the same purchased key to activate two separate FC2 installations on both OS? b) Will I need one or two activations? Thanks in advance!

Glad to help, especially cos there are people on this forum that helped me a lot with same issues :) Bare in mind, I'm not expert with LUA, just copying/pasting what smarten then I have made. Kudos goes to Vyrtuoz and others, but this ain't Oscars, so no list this time around :D For file location, create a map beforehand, say MyTacviews in folder HDD:\LOFC2\ Then open TacviewExportBlackShark.lua and find line: -- Create a new log file for each mission self.AcmiFile=io.open("./Temp/Tacview-"..os.date("%Y%m%d-%H%M%S")..".txt.acmi","wb"); Temp is current location, you may change that with MyTacviews. Filename is formed like: Tacview- is prefix os.date calls date and time from your operating system, and writes it in form: %Y - year %m - month %d - day %H - hour %M - minutes %S - seconds And then it adds suffix in form: .txt.acmi Then it looks like: Tacview-20100414-123010.txt.acmi If you want it too look like MyFlight_2010-04-14_12-30-10.txt.acmi Change above to: self.AcmiFile=io.open("./MyTacviews/MyFlight_"..os.date("%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S")..".txt.acmi","wb"); EDIT: for tacview 0.95 edit file TacviewExportDCS.lua

BV-246 Hagelkorn glide bomb EDIT: Jg2001_Rasputin overtook me by 3 minutes :)

No, because of:

@DetroitDieseL Your files look OK to me, they are identical to my. So it is working OK now? As for pilot names, I guess we will have to wait until Vyrtuoz makes new version of Tacview...

@GunSlingerAUS - Glad to help :) Just spreading the yoghurt's... @DetroitDieseL Sorry to hear you have problems. Are you sure that your changes were saved? Here you have originals, as edited so it works on my PC. There is really nothing different apart from those two lines, try to compare with your files (or post them here): Desktop.rar Also, attached is default Config folder, unedited (extract to to a separate place, you may overwrite your custom settings if you use this files): Config.rar Desktop.rar Config.rar

Yes, and no. FC2 can use tacview's support for DCS. Neverminf what tacview "says", you can have recording even if unchecked. Go to: HDD:\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\Config\Export Open Config.lua and edit: EnableExportScript = false to: EnableExportScript = true Open Export.lua, and at the end of the file add following line: dofile("./Config/Export/TacviewExportBlackShark.lua") Extract attached archive and place file TacviewExportBlackShark.lua into map HDD:\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\Config\Export For editing do not use Windows Notepad, but either Notepad2 or Notepad++ TacviewExportBlackShark.rar

@Panzertard - GREAT :thumbup: Yeah, it would be great to have some extra points for salvaging the baby :D

Ubercool! Great debrifing, have to check it ASAP!

Thanks, no prob on waiting, plenty to learn and/or to relearn. Effect filter is way too strong (kinda overkill), especially in flyby shots - cannot understand a word. Mostly I'm guessing, but if were not to know what it is about... Instructional videos should be easy to understand. Besides, it is UNrealistic to receive instructions over radio during actual flight :) Instructions should be given beforehand, in simulator, and in clear voice ;) You developer notes on Ka-50 were much, much better. Maybe not what one would call a professional work or realistic, but I never missed a word. Learned more from them then reading the manual (which I never did, cos it was not needed, hehehehe) :D

Damn the torpedoes, full throttle ahead!

Two things: 1. Still the same railway station sound for voiceover :( Russian version is much clearer (and if I knew Russian...). Voice is too silent in relation to environment sounds, and is very distorted. 2. What was the PC configuration used to make videos? In Su-25T when Shkval is slewed around, not only that it makes no hiccups whatsoever, but detail on the TV is amazing!

Yeah, and then leaving their trash behind them :chair: Yes, please!

Could you run Su-25T quick mission, let it run for a minute, wait until you get info that targets are markedd with smoek, and then take a screenshot? If you cannot see the smoke at all, then it must be up to your graphical settings. Maybe that will give a clue to someone else as how to solve this.

Ground and air traffic is messy cos there are no signs on the ground that will direct people in appropriate way. And once in the air, mostly they do not care for correct landing procedures (direction) and then they do not clear the runway. It would be amazing if ATC could enforce some actions onto pilot, at least if it would be possible to configure something like that. For example, ATC yells at you when taxiing wrong way, force wheelbrakes and engine powerdown before entering RWY if another a/c is on final, speed bumpers on taxiways to prevent taking off.... Still, the part that I do miss most is that there are NO direction signs of any sort :(

Thnx all, will try do make more maps if time permits... @Raimir - Please check a topic started by Grimes: FC2 Spawns Per Base Well, its a small rwy, only 1000m long. In sat pics it looks like its closed, covered by thick layer of grass, and intersected by some maintenance road. But in FC2 it looks usable. Thats kinda curios in comparison with Zugdidi, which is in same condition. I wanted to make English version of the map, but I merged all layers and then saved the file, so I have to start from scratch, but it had to be done anyway :) PS - here are two pics of Batumi, from googlemaps and from FC2, and a link to wikimap PS2 - I used this webiste to locate airports, and then crosschecked with wikimap: http://www.fallingrain.com/apts/30728.html PS 3 - here is link to Poti, but airfield is not added as a place to wiki. It is to the east of small lake, quite small. PS 4 - The smaller airfield in Kutaisi is next to the placemark Exploding "Memorial of military glory" (that was blown up recently with very tragic consequences), Coordinates: 42°15'49"N 42°39'25"E. It may as well be a parade ground for all I know, but in FC2 mission editor it appears/disappears when you toggle airports...

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Any chance to share the knowledge? I would like to setup some stats for my squads. I got some pretty help with stats for FC1, but just as I was about to start setting it up...

I've found out several strange things... 1) What is called Kutaisi in FC, in reality is Kutaisi-Kopitnari. 2) Kutaisi has another airport, and that one is called Kutaisi-West. Also, that airport is one of those three that are represented, but not fully functional (ILS and NAV not working). 3) Kutaisi has one more airport, more in a class of airfield, and thats the one close to the center of the city, but I was no table to learn whats it called. Next it was WW2 memorial 4) What is called Tskhakaya in FC, it seems that in reality it is Senaki. 5) What is called Kobuleti in FC, in reality is called as Ozurgeti or Meria, depending on the source, but never Kobuleti. 6) Kobuleti has one more airport, also more in a class of airfield, also close to the town, also not functional in FC (rwys in a shape f Andrew Cross), and it is called only as Kobuleti. While searching for those three airports/airfields, I found out several more airfields that are present in part of Georgia that is portrayed in FC2: Poti, Mestia, Yessentuki (near Nalchik in CIS), and Zugdidi. The last one is closed and in sat pics it is totally ruined. Then I found more airfields and more airports in CIS part of the map. Full list here: http://www.ourairports.com/search?q=Zugdidi&mode=&show= And, while trying to locate for a spot where airport in Poti should be located, I've realized that whole city is very poorly detailed comparing to some other sections of the map. And, all airports are totally flat, while in reality some have about 20 m diff in height between ends (those few that I've crosschecked with IATA data). So, this makes me wonder, what was the criteria to portray some airports, and not the other? They do not have to be functional (ILS, NAV, maintenance), but it would be helluva kick just have them as a interesting targets, or in case of emergency. Or simply as a NAV point.

Hmh, you better check you VGA drivers and settings. I can see them very clearly. Gforce 8800GT, 1920*1080, all setting to medium. Here are few pics from instant mission for Su-25T. First one is the way somke looks like. Second, smoke seen trough HUD, distance 4.4 km. Third, distance about 16 km with max zoom. Fourth, same position, zoomed out a bit.

I've compiled a list of airports as they are memorized in autopilot, and showed on HUD in Su-25T. I do not know how to create a table in vBulletin code, so below is a short list, with numbers, names and RWY directions. For a full list with altitudes and other information, please visit: List of Airports in FC2 I plan to expand list with rwy lengths and a small map with general airports disposition. If someone can create (or already has) aerial/map views of airports, please post here so I could add those. PS - I've found three small airfields that are not on airport list, two near Kutaisi, and one near Kobuleti. I will try to add them to the list. Cheers!

Greta work KaTZ! But, could you be so kind to provide further info in English, especially regarding wiring and SIOC scripts. I have MSC card and its sitting idle cos I do not understand French, and I've been asking fo rhelp on your forum :( Thanks in advance!
