No its not resolved, just a work around. Hope they can figure it out so everything works as before. Get super carrier and now this starts up. Time to change my setup back to sim car racing and see if they nut this out. It is the BETA version after all, or do others using the release version have the same problem. Its definitely to do with the coms that's causing the problem. If i do a repair of my install then run DCS and it starts, get into a mission ( cold start on the new super carrier) my coms list keeps popping up every few seconds, and yes I am using Voice attack. The joys of third party programs in a ever more complicated DCS program. The super carrier is really cool by the way, nice job.

God I hope they don't close this thread any time soon, with all that's been going on in the world its a real entertaining read, Its like watching a pack of seagulls fight over the last chip. So they made a date for release of a BETA and things didn't go to plan, BUGGER! Sounds like there are a few people around that should get in game and shoot each other down. Please someone put up a server called " SUPER CARRIER BLUES " and live stream it somewhere. Be good to watch.

I can not get the AUTO STOP to function. The AUTO START works fine. Is this a known bug or am i missing something. :book:

I first read " chicken hawk " way back in the mid 80's. Great book. Seeing " blue thunder " when that first came out and that book gave me a soft spot for helicopters and the huey in particular. Liked the part where the pilot is hit on his helmet and the bullet ricashades inside around his scull and comes out the other side and to his co pilots disbelief looks as if he has been shot through the head and is still alive and flying. Not until he later takes off his helmet they find out what happened. lucky man.

Yep that's about my thinking as well, with the extension its close to the length in the various aircraft in real life. just wondering if they take into account that normal joysticks are short and have the same travel ruffly as each other and with the extension you have more. I remember reading in this forum a long while back saying not to adjust the settings as when they make the modules and the testing they do that they have set it up to be as realistic as possible, is that's realistic with a normal stick or if the extension alters things at all. Maybe it dosnt make any difference and its just what you get used to. Ive been adding +10 for the stick curvature for everything anyway. Ive had this extension set up for about 2 years always wondered if it changed things at all. cheers.

Ive had this g19 for quite sometime and its only when setting up some keys I have this problem. pushing the ` key (next to the 1 key and under the escape key) in the controls section in DCS it shows up as " Kanji ". also if I press the " \ " key (default coms key) it shows up as " ] " and pressing the " [ " it shows as " AT " . All three of the keys " \ ] [ " are all wrong. Its only like this for DCS and fine for everything else when typing. Dose anyone know why this may be? :helpsmilie:

I have a warthog stick with a 12cm extension and wondering if anyone out there in the know would have any suggestions on what to set the curve and dead zone settings at. being a longer stick than the standard warthog im guessing that those settings would be different. :joystick:

With the release of the new Spitfire campaign, what is the AI like to fly against at the moment and do they pose much of a challenge to make it worth while? Cheers.

Old thread yes, I don't think the Normandy map is big enough for any large bombers unless air starts or AI controlled flights are used. Most of the map is water, taking off out of England there is not much to choose from for airfields, and all on the coast. Once you took off you would be climbing for altitude till almost at you target which also would be near the coast in France. And then have to do a quick u turn as not to fly off the map. The bombers would be good but a much much bigger map is needed and a lot more players to make it worth while. Bombers don't last in the air with cannon shells from fighters blowing them out of the sky, and people will stop flying them after being constantly shot down. Still be nice to have. Will have to crank up the microprose mighty eighth for a b-17 bomber fix. The map size in that in DCS would be perfect, but dreaming i recon .

Cheers for that, I now know im not the only one with problems, seems the last update has caused a fair bit of chaos for some. Turning the battery power switch on in the a 10 c causes the crash. lots of other problems with various modules. sounds like a big hair pulling time for the code boys.

When using the A 10 c warthog in the DCS 2 nevada map, all is ok till I start the auto start up procedure when the sim crashes and the DCS has stopped working error pops up. Also the FW 190 dora raises its landing gear during its auto start procedure. All other modules seem fine , and have no problems at all with the aircraft using DCS 1.5. I have reinstalled DCS 2 and that didn't fix it, have tried the update repair using the command line, uninstalled the module then reinstalled but still same problem. Anyone know a fix for this? I know that when it installs it checks for already installed files and it may have transferred this problem to the new install, dose anyone know what files to keep before trying a complete fresh install? namely the files to the nevada map as that took about 2 days to download the first time. hope someone out there in DCS land knows whats going on ere? :helpsmilie:

With the in game module manager, the buy tab is greyed out so i cant select it. Also on the DCS site it says it wont let me get it as it says i don't have the BS 2 module. I do have the BS 2 module all be it the BS 2 upgraded version. Its my oldest module , the first one i got, on disc as well as the rather large manual book. Don't know why but its not recognizing my BS 2 upgraded v . Im not using any mods in DCS 1.5 ether.

Ive had the black shark since it first was released then upgraded it to BS 2 when that was released. I have recently started using DCS 1.5 . I can fly the the BS on the 1.5 with no problems as all my other modules ( the hawk module keeps asking for the key every time i start 1.5, have since uninstalled it.) Have tried to get the Republic Campaign but it says I need the BS 2 module. As far as im aware the BS 1 module upgraded to 2 is the BS 2 module. Is this correct? If i have to repurchase the module just to get the new campaign I will give it a miss. Am I missing something?

OK figured it out. yes the easy coms are no longer working. had to switch that off and also i didnt Know about the alt + \ key for the radio, cheers.

Cheers for the help. But unfortunately it didn't work. with easy coms on or off, as soon as i lift off i loose all my coms completely . i know im on the right frequency as i can see my wingman on the abris map, the quik radio commands like "rejoin" "cover me" " attack my target " work. It appears broken with last update.

I have just noticed that none of the radio commands seem to be working in any of the single or campaign missions, or is it just me?

For example , in a full real server and flying a mig 15, finding enemy bogeys is very difficult. I you do see one and you have to turn say after a head on pass, the enemy plane then becomes a pixel then totally vanishes at what seems to be a very short distance. Ive had it with a sabre that I see it, I turn towards it, the pixel vanishes, im flying towards it, then pow a pixel appears. I not talking long distance, very close range. Dose anyone Know the distance at witch enemy aircraft are visible at? I remember Cliffs of Dover had LOD problem with ememy aircraft disapereing at a certain distance, is this the same sort of thing?:spam_laser:

Just curious, now that you have completed it what scores did you get with your stats an kills and stuff?

Putting the extension on is only half the job. An extension long enough to let you mount the stick at floor level would be too long. You will need to raise it up on a mount to get it to the height you want. Surprised someone dosn't manufacture something for it. A piece of round steel tubing with two round plates of steel welded at ether end the same diameter as the base of the joystick and just pick the height you want. That way just screw the joystick with the extension to one end and the other to a piece of ply wood for the base. Dose anyone Know the thread size of the four screws that hold the joystick to the base plate? wouldnt mind getting some longer ones.

I got the 12.5 cm extension from Simpit technologies not long ago and made up a floor mount to have it set up between my legs. Definitely worth doing, makes a great joystick even better. Flying the FW 190 and Bf 109 so much easier from making the stick a lot less twitchy when making small movements. They make other length extensions and recommend the 12.5 for the most realistic feel, as for the floor mount that is up to you to make something up to suit you, and as stable as you can. The height of you chair is the main thing when deciding on the height of your mount. I had a measuring tape and held that were the joystick would be and measured down to the floor, with the 12.5 cm extension installed the height of the joystick from the base plate it mounted to up to the palm rest on the joystick is 26 cm. with the distance you got from measuring with the tape from the floor to where you want the stick to be(50 cm for me). Go 50 - 26 = 24 cm floor mount. I went to the local hardware store and got metal table leg, a 100mm pvc pipe cap and 100mm pvc pipe plug, a bolt and washers and screws and let my inner Macgyver loose. Bit of mucking around but definitely worth it.

TM Warthog profiles DCS Could someone please sticky the above for newcomers looking for profiles for their warthogs? "Polaris1" profiles in there have made it a lot easier to to learn and get a good head start at flying different aircraft from not knowing what controls need to mapped . :joystick: :thumbup:

Mines working and OK, goto first post for what i did.

I went into Eagle Dynamics\DCSWorld\Mods/aircraft/Su-25T/Missions/EN/Training changed the" /Training " file name to Training-orig , then updated, then changed it back. try that to see if it works for you instead of deleting the training files then download them again. all seams good.

I get the same error when it asks to update. I downloaded the mig 21 module from the DCS modules and installed it that way, it said that didnt work but when i restarted the game the mig 21 was there, tried a mission with it, it asked for my key and it works. I havnt lost any modules , the f 15 c tab at the bottom is now gone, have fc3 anyway. have tried a server with mig 21s and that worked, but if i shut down and restart the computer and start DCS again it asks to update and still fails , but the mig 21 and everything else is all there. I only downloaded the training files for the Su-25T yesterday + all the others I didnt have and they all seem to work.

Ok, its working now, downloaded the file on the DCS modules list, ran that, said it didnt work, restarted DCS then there it was in the module manager, loaded a quick mission, asked for the key code and all good. on the main screen it says its running ver 1.2.10.32095. is that the latest patch no:?
