Not to take anything away from the MFG Crosswinds the Mk.IV's fit my use better. Why? More compact - I have limited under desk leg/foot space available. I fly helis 99.99% & like moving my foot & ankle instead of my leg - I get more precise movements w/ limited "dead space" around center. I'm afraid I'm goin to have part company w/ my Crosswinds as they have been a good faithful companion:(( That allll said, I'm usin the pedals plug & play out of the box & experiencing "freeze up". Have to close down sim that's currently running & restart. NOT cool when transporting troops into battle & have to manuver quickly into a tight LZ. I'm thinkin it's time to download the.current software / firmware & configurators but havin one heck of a time tryin to figure out WHERE TO START figuring out which links to download in the correct order. Can someone pls help me out.

Dang, good question & answers

"The thing that is time consuming is setting up your appropriate peripheral and its inputs in the options menu." True, it does take some time - if you get that far. I don't want to sound like an idiot but my prob was tryin to figure out where (SSD or HD) to put what (downloaded files). I usually have a friend or relative help me out but everybody was out of town:( So I struggled for a wk to get the right hand talkin to the left hand, so to speak. Yeah, it was good for me to KNOW where everything is on my system. In fact, I still don't know if I put everything where it should go to make the game run efficiently. All I know for sure is it that when I click on "DCS" the game starts :) Heck, if you know what you're doin - 1/2 hr at tops! Does it have to be that way? NOT so w/ other sims ie P3D, X-Plane, IL2, just to mention a couple. Just sayin

Please move this post to the appropriate thread if you think it's important enough to get good visibility & doesn't belong here. DCS is not one of the best but THE best imo flight simulation games. I've spent many hrs lookin through the forum and googling for game installation instructions. It's easy once you've figured it out & it's installed. In fact TO easy after you've set it up for the 1st time. It opens up a whole new world of flight simulation. Just wonderin,,,,where would someone start if they wanted to install DCS who wasn't familiar setting up the software files. Just maybe a Sticky that has one or two sentences on "Starting Out" or "Installing the Software". Just wonderin! The manual is great once all the files are correctly downloaded & installed.

Put 1-7 in DCS World which was on my SS drive under Program Files => Eagle Dynamics => DCS World => (sub folders) DCS => DCS World 1.2.16 Guess I'll have to install 1.5 to fly Black Shark II? So this is my plan: - Leave my sub folder "DCS World 1.2.16" alone. - Download 1.5 into a new folder along side of "DCS World 1.2.16" calling it "DCS World 1.5" Does my plan look doable?

AND A correct install. Thanks

Can you direct me to instructions on how to do a "complete & clean" uninstall. Thanks so much for you help.

I know this thread is for 1.5. My problem is w/ 1.2.x download. Everything was running fine until I tried to update to 1.5. My "DCS World" icons went away??? So I went back & installed 1.2.x. Everything went good. Got all my desktop icons back. Now when I click on the "DCS World" icon I get this Windows window: "DCS has stopped working" right below that is "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". Then it has a "Close program" at the bottom of the window box. I've ran the "Repair DCS World" and "Update DCS World" w/ no problems. I would really like to start flyin again. Any suggestions?

Found it:)). Thanks

I accidentally "Unpinned" my "G" Generic Mod Enabler w/ all my current mods. Where do I find it to "Re-Pin" it back to the task bar?

Yurgon #56 - that's what i was waitin for. Thanks for askin the ? Chic

InRideo - need same help. What is the link to the MP server you're using?

Sorry I'm a bit late to the party. Can someone direct me to some virtual groups flyin the Huey?

Once I figured out what & where "Module Manager" was I found where it was I found it sittin right there in the middle of the page waitin for me to click on run. I was tryin to re-order the sim from the "Products Page" & it was loading the cart w/ the sim. Thanks to both of you for your prompt attention/help. Nothing is more frustrating than being "stupid". I've got every module w/ exception of "Combined Arms".

Just paid for Black Shark 2 and was downloading it and got interrupted with message sying i needed to update DSC World to the latest version. Message said I could download at a latter date after updating DCS World. Well i updated DCS World but unable to download it again without paying for it again???? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
