Complete Hornet Targeting pod Tutorial Thought i'd share my tutorial on the LITENING II in it's current state, it goes over all the current features and basics of weapons employment with it. Hope you guys find it useful!

I'm sure if we could drive the ships in combined arms there'd be some 'interesting' results :D

I'ts: Roki Tunnel 42°36' 33" N, 44°11' 3" E There's a few more tunnels about the map including rail tunnels though i've not got their location to hand

No immortality here, ground units don't take fall damage at all, they were never really expected to be jumping off cliffs or 10,000ft falls! their modeling is quite simple. What's happening is the buoyancy code that keeps amphibious vehicles afloat when they 'sink' into the sea is pushing it upwards (you can see it's even trying to maintain a level position as it goes up!) if you try this with a truck or mbt the vehicle just disappears. Being inside the tunnel, i'm able to push the nose of my linebacker's collision mesh into the terrain, triggering it to get lifted and pulled up through the roof of the tunnel, which currently appears to have no physical walls to it. The rest of it was sheer dogged determination bashing my head against a wall trying repeatedly to time that perfect 'jump' and shot together :)

Haha! need to find myself a stencil kit :P

Sometimes things just kind of happen, and you go with it. It's worth noting the AI can't do this, they're limited to being on the ground, even if you switch out of the tank in the air, the ai will take over and it'l teleport to the ground under it.

I'm pretty confident that the 1.2.5 patch doesn't agree with steam keys (i had in 1.2.5 my a-10c key listed in modules but still couldn't activate) Like i mentioned above the only combination of events I've succeeded with was to activate on 1.2.4 and then patch up to 1.2.5 This also appears to be the case in the following thread http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=110330 At any rate glad to hear you've got it running, might i suggest updating the first post with our combined information to make it easier for others to find. (and if able, mark the thread as "solved") :) In addition if anyone else succeeds in activating via this method please post so here, hopefully this can help the devs find the problem and if nothing else at least help the community.

I've also had no luck with the support tickets, however i have managed to activate my A-10c module at last, the following is how i managed to get it running, your results may not be the same but i really hope they are. 1. I had my serial registered to an online account, done by signing into multiplayer on dcs A-10c 1.1.1.1 (steam or stand alone) (i don't think this actually matters but for sake of consistency its mentioned) 2. Deactivated dcs A-10c 1.1.1.1 via the support program in its bin folder (protect.exe) then used the registry clearing fix. 3. I uninstalled DCSW World (this had previously been patched) 4. Installed DCSW 1.2.4.12913 (downloaded via the torrent method) 5. Installed the A-10C 1.2.4.12913 module. (downloaded via the normal download method) 6, Do not allow DCSW to patch. 6. Launched the multiplayer DCSW (this asks for an activation right away) 7. entered my serial and pressed activate, success! :D (note you might get a failed to reach activation server, in that case use the alternative method, via webpage) 8. I closed DCSW multiplayer and launched the single player, allowed it to patch then launched a mission with the A-10C and all was working as it should. Best of luck to anyone else out there with a similar problem, this is the actions that allowed me to activate, I hope this is a trend and not me stumbling into luck. If this is the case the latest update is not accepting Steam keys, and as such i'd keep a hold of the installers for 1.2.4.12913 just in case. A future patch will hopefully solve the whole problem in the first place.

Unfortunately thats not useful, ive been through it twice now, it doesn't effect the activation problem. Unless i've missed something major. Logging into the serial number manager on the website my key is listed, and the product "[D] DCS: A-10C Warthog" In DCS A-10C 1.1.1.1 i can launch the game, activate it and log into multiplayer no problems, by doing this I've bound my key to my account, and in theory can play multiplayer if there were any servers to join, i can also play single player. However the problem is with the DCS World A-10C module, i can start the game look in the module manager and see my key listed for the A-10c. when i try to launch a mission with the a-10c it asks for me to activate A-10c. this is where the problems start. if i launch the multiplayer part of DCS world it will ask for activation and i wont be able to, same as when i attempt to launch a mission in singleplayer. However in multiplayer if i repeatedly fail the activation it gives up and launches the multiplayer part where i can then log in and join a server, from there i can only spawn in as the free Su-25, if i try to spawn as an a-10c it wont progress to the flight scene. So to clarify: 1. launches DCS World 2. Looked in module manager, show key, my key is visible and matches 3. Go to missions, start an a-10c mission, front end closes 4. Activation prompt comes up: if A-10C 1.1.1.1 is installed and activated, serial key is already in the box, i get invalid hardware code message. if A-10C 1.1.1.1 is not activated i enter the serial then i get the "the system requires the correct serial number", invalid serial code message. (note this message is the same as if i'd entered "please activate this time" into the serial code box) 5. un-able to activate, game loads and I'm a spectator. If i repeat with this with the key unbound from the DCS website it all happens the same way apart from #2 where the serial code would be blank. Bear in mind i dont get as far as the log in to dcs world prompt, before im hit with the activation requirement, i've only been able to bind the serial code to my dcs account via the stand alone 1.1.1.1 a-10c install. As best i can tell the link is for people who are logging into dcs world with an account that doesn't have their key registered to them (and the game is already activated) On a side note many thanks for the help you're providing, hope this helps you make any more suggestions, or tells you if i've missed something big :doh: and sorry for the wall of text, trying to make things clear as i can :)

The problem as best i can tell has nothing to do with logging into multiplayer, i've followed this method and come across the same problems mentioned above. The problem is i cannot activate the game to play it in even singleplayer on dcs world, i've successfully logged into multiplayer on 1.1.1.1 and that bound my key which after doing, my key appears in the dcs world a-10c module manager, again however that had no effect on allowing me to activate the a-10c module Im getting the impression the most recent batch of keys on steam are in some fashion no good with dcs world.

I've been following this thread a few days, i've got pretty much the exact same problem, got DCS a-10 on the steam sale. Heres my findings so far: The steam version installs and works as expected I've been able to install the 1.1.1.1 standalone version (downloaded from dcs site) (without steam) and register my key with that no problem. If i try to activate DCS world with 1.1.1.1 activated (steam or stand alone) it will tell me invalid hardware code. If i try to activate with the above Registry fix (or normal deactivation) to remove the activation on 1.1.1.1 im told my serial code is invalid. I have managed to register my serial code to my account(signed into multiplayer on 1.1.1.1, and in dcs world the serial number shows up on the module manager. So far ive not had any luck in getting dcs world to activate either.
