Go here: http://www.reddit.com/r/hoggit On the right sidebar you will see the links, look down the list for the training map link. There are both day and night maps, and another set of day/night with weather.

If you are looking for a great training mission grab the TNN mission from the Hoggit sub on Reddit. It has separate target areas with easy, (trucks), medium (AAA & tanks), and hard, (SAM and ManPads), all on the same map along with several JTAC controllers, AWAC's, and 3 tankers. You can spend hours practicing everything and testing different weapon profiles.

To get the most accurate SPI out of the TGP I make sure it is in Point Mode, and the laser is on before TMS Up to create the SPI. It seems if I don't use the laser, the SPI will be a point beyond the target, like it was looking through the target.

Google Galactic Pancakes Joystick and it should be the second hit returned.

The X-65 is not new btw. But I've been wondering the same thing. All major retailers are sold out of the X-52 Pro. Amazon removed it from their listings except for the "used" section. NewEgg has is listed as "discontinued", Frys's now has it available on back order with a possible November ship date. I was thinking they might have something new coming out but that doesn't seem likely either.

Edge is not here, so no one knows how it will work with any platform really. Continue holding breath...

Tried the 13.11 Beta's today and saw a 7 FPS hit on benchmark.biz, dropped it to 17. Went back to 13.9 WHQL and it jumped back up to 24-25.

Do any support tickets actually ever get acknowledged/resolved or do they just take the money and run so to speak? Edit: I "or"'d too many times.

I just went through a similar thing with BlackShark 2 from GameFly. It wound up so borking my install that even my activated A10c wouldn't work anymore. Here's the link to how I finally got everything working. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1842297&postcount=12 I think what mattered the most was getting the standalone version download from GameFly activated before ever messing with DCS world. Hopefully you'll have some good luck!

Sooooooo, I finally got this whipped/figured out. What exactly worked I am not sure of. But below is the synopses of what I did: Uninstalled everything, A10C standalone, BS 2 standalone, DCS World A10c and BS2 modules, and then DCS World. ( I had tried this before with removing the standalone installs and then just installing DCS World/modules thinking they were messing with the DCS World modules). Searched the hard drive and deleted any leftover directories. ( The only one appeared to be /bin/headtracker I had installed for FaceTrackNoIR). Ran CCleaner and did the registry scan twice with it fixing all errors. Manually ran regedit and searched for DCS, World, A10, BlackShark, Black Shark, etc... Anything I could think of that might be related to DCS. And deleted all of it IF it seemed applicable to the simulation. (I'm going to warn you now, if you don't know what you are doing with regedit, then just don't do it). Installed A10C standalone, activated using protect.exe and it passed. Verified it was working correctly by running training mission. Installed BlackShark 2 standalone, activated using the protect.exe, and it passed. (This is the first time out of at least 20 tries that it worked). Verified it was working by running training mission. Installed DCS World as it comes from the download. Verified it would run and SU-25 module worked. Installed A10c module, ran it, selected training mission, and activated when it asked. Rebooted, checked that A10c was still working in DCS World. Installed Black Shark 2 module. ran it, selected training mission, and activated when it asked. Rebooted, made sure everything was still working. Now I just need to get my headtracking working again. tldr; I punted.

Yep, the only folder under each of those folders is "Keys". And that one is empty except each has the (Default) Reg_SZ (value not set) entry.

Thank you for the replies. Kunz: I checked the registry and it has the following entries; A10A with sub Keys, no entries Black Shark 2 with sub Keys, no entries DCS World; Has a Language, Path, and Version subkey SU25A with sub Keys, no entries Warthog with sub Keys, no entries PeterP: Those are the registry cleaners I tried. No difference. SkateZilla: A10C is from Steam, BS2 is from Gamefly. I'm positive I'm using the correct keys, both cut/paste and manual typing yields the same result. I'm not sure about B in your response, have not seen that option I believe. I install DCS World, run it, and go to the module manager to install A10C and Black Shark 2, then try to either run training mission or multi player to have it ask for activation key. I have also tried using the "protect" files to activate in the sub directories for each program. Edit: I o'd ption.

I purchased Black Shark 2 last week and have been unable to activate it. I've given up on my ticket 24298 receiving any response as it seems browsing this forum they never respond. I get the following error when trying to activate: Cut/paste or manual typing, no difference. I have done the following: De-activated modules, ran the registry tools I found in this forum to wipe all the license information out. No change after that. Completely uninstalled all modules and DCS World, cleaned registry and directories of all leftovers. Re-installed DCS World and BS 2 module, still get same error. Checked proactive.star-force.com and it shows my serial # is valid, un-activated and appears normal as far as I can tell. Product:Black Shark 2 ENG Company name: Eagle Dynamics Activated: No Number of activations has been exceeded: No Blacklisted: No Expired: No Type: Release Number of activations spent/total: 0 / 11 Add activation automatically: Enabled Time period: 30 day(s) Tried using the "protect" file in the directory, same thing. I'm having no problems with activating my A10C module, except blowing through some activations while de-installing and re-installing. So it's not a firewall or connectivity issue. Editing to retract that last statement. I did a complete re-install again and now A10C will not activate with exactly the same error. Best $100 I've ever wasted.
