Thank you!

I want to order Lock On 3 but note that the original Lock On much be installed before one can order Lock On 3. I've ordered the original Lock On from Amazon, but now am wondering while I'm waiting for it to arrive, how do I install it into DCS? How will the original Lock On interface with my installed DCS?

Thank you for your prompt response. I just purchased another plane and it worked fine with no problems Part of my problem the first time was I didn't install from the Module Manager. I downloaded the file and installed from my download folder. This time I used the Module Manager to install the game and the key worked first time when I selected the plane to fly. My friend just attempted what I'm reporting and got a good install but again an invalid activation code as with his other installs. He checked that it was the correct aircraft and registry file but still no luck.

I recently bought two planes and got an invalid key code when I tried to play my game. I resubmitted my code several times and my game finally accepted them. I now see the same serial number associated with those plane listed twice in my Module Manager. That doesn't seem right, but at least my game plays. A friend says the same thing has happened to him, but his activation code is still invalid and he can't play the game. He says it has happened with EVERY order and he has to make out a support ticket for the problem to get cleared up. I'm afraid to buy anything else which would cause my game not to work due to an invalid key code. Is there a "proper" way to purchase another plane that avoids this problem, or will buying products always be this hazardous? There's another plane I'd like to buy but I don't wish to go through the hassle of invalid activation codes.

Thank you all! In controls I deleted TrackIR mapped to Zoom and the zoom functions on the joystick buttons now work. I also needed to map Thrust to my "Joy slider" instead of Joy_Z in order for the throttles to work with my Joy stick throttle. I can now enjoy playing with this plane thanks to your help

I only have the Su25T that is free with the DCS World download and I have a few issues with it. So, I"m wondering if buying the Su25 will fix the problems I have with the Su25T? My problems with the SU2T: I can't change the zoom views via the NUM* Num/ keys on the keyborad as listed and the Logitech extreme 3D Pro buttons I've assigned to those functions (zoom out slowly and zoom in slowly) also don't work. The throttle also doesn't seem to work on my joystick despite showing up assigned in the "controls" section. I have the A10C and enjoy it and I have enjoyed playing the instant action combat missions in the SU25T as the weapons seem relatively simpler to use than the A10C, and fun to boot. But, I would like to have the zoom views and ability to control my power settings. Also, what's the difference between the Su25 which one has to buy and the Su25T which is free? I'm assuming the functions I've described above come included with the SU25 and apparently not with the SU25T. Is it so, and someone explain the difference?

WOW! Thanks, I just realized how little I know about this game. I wasn't aware of the rearm feature, and I need to get acquainted with the mission editor to adjust my load out, plus I never realized I could order my wing man to follow order.

Yes, I've saved profiles and for some odd reason when I load them they load with the same blank settings.

Thank you

Sorry, I don't understand. "ED"? who or what is that? And does this mean I must constantly recreate new keyboard settings for each session?

Can't find an answer in search so here's my question: How to complete the last Campaign Challenge? I've even tried unlimited ammo, and Immortal and allowing the Ai P51 to take me as it's target, but it takes only a few shots at me and then zooms by like I'm standing still (I'm going full out at 300). He then shoots down the target I'm suppose to escort. I've thought of jettisoning bombs to make myself lighter, but then couldn't sink the ship even if I somehow was able to get rid of the two enemy fighters.

Thank you Tute. I would have never have figured that out for the pilots sight. Now, I'm still mystified as to why my SIM controls are getting erased for no apparent reason. I'm wondering if it would be helpful to copy the "saved" file someplace else on the cpu and then paste it back in the folder once this situation occurs again? If so, would someone please tell me where the "saved" files are located? I've looked into my mods/aircraft/inputs folder and don't see the controls I've saved. I can't seem to find them anywhere.

Thank you Tute. I would have never have figured that out.

The controls for my Huey and A10 have all zeroed out except for the logitech stick buttons. Even the ones I saved as separate file names. The are no assignment for even the General setting. It seems that the Game assignement are OK, but not the sims. Can anyone explain what may be my problem. I'm not aware of a single default key setting to restore the controls and as a result, I've had to go through each key and then assign "default" to get my controls working. OT: The Pilots gun sight on the Huey is just a clear glass with no reticule (aiming circles). I've had no luck whatsoever using the forum search engine and don't know if this has already been addressed. Can anyone explain how to get aiming circles.
