resolved DCS Authorization Failed - 400?
Extranajero replied to HC_Official's topic in Payment and Activation
I had that earlier, but everything is fine again now - for me, anyway -
ABRIS map sometimes showing black screen
Extranajero replied to Extranajero's topic in Bugs and Problems
That's good news, thanks a lot - Edit :- I set the GUI scaling to 1 and the problem was still happening -
There's a lot about helo's which seems counter-intuitive for anyone used to fixed wing, you should check out BradMicks series of videos that are linked in this forum. I believe he's a real world instructor pilot on the '64 and he's got the knack of explaining things in a very understandable way. It'll probably help you to start right from the beginning with his videos, there is a mine of useful information in them. Good luck.

ABRIS map sometimes showing black screen
Extranajero replied to Extranajero's topic in Bugs and Problems
I appreciate your help, here's the file options.lua -
The Apache's autostabilisation and autopilot system is pretty complex, but the TL:DR is that if you aren't trimming properly - despite having no springs - there will be times when it will be fighting your control inputs. Trimming also affects your hold modes. There isn't a way to properly simulate the Apache's control system and remove the need for trimming.

ABRIS map sometimes showing black screen
Extranajero replied to Extranajero's topic in Bugs and Problems
I did have, but I think that I have cured the map scaling issue by setting Padlock to on in the mission editor, that's the temporary fix from ED via Flappie. That hasn't affected the maps delayed appearance though -
Dual factor authentication for free trials?
Extranajero replied to Beirut's topic in Forum and Site Issues
ED wording something badly ? I don't find that very hard to believe If the cockpits of ED modules featured a shovel then I know that to bind the control I have to look for " use earth inverting implement " in the assignments Thank you -

I have to download Google Authenticator, because that's the method that ED have chosen to use -

Thanks for taking the time. I just reviewed the track and once again, the ABRIS map showed up. But when I recorded the track, it didn't appear at any point. ABRIS.trk -
Dual factor authentication for free trials?
Extranajero replied to Beirut's topic in Forum and Site Issues
For me at least, the two factors aren't the issue, giving the number of my tracking and surveillance device ( sorry, smartphone ) to Google is. I wouldn't even own a smartphone at all unless it was virtually impossible to get through modern life without one sometimes. I already have two factor authentification for some important things, but it doesn't involve a mobile number. Thinking that Google want your phone number for your own protection boggles my mind. These are people whose AI reads your emails so they can serve you targeted adverts and build a profile of you that they can sell - there's literally no limit to their spying. I heartily dislike them and everything they stand for, so I'll do my best to keep their tentacles out of my private data. -
Be careful what you wish for, I can remember ( years and years ago ) when it was considered good etiquette to announce " rockets, rockets, rockets " before firing in multiplayer because everyone's frame rates would absolutely tank for a second...

KA-50 ABRIS - map not scaling with symbology
Extranajero replied to MortalMando's topic in Bugs and Problems
It's no problem reproducing it, but I'm not sure if a track will help if you read the explanation in the thread I started. I do have one though. -
I have a strange issue. Sometimes - enough times to be really annoying - the ABRIS map doesn't appear. It may display after a few seconds, a few minutes, or in very rare cases it doesn't at all. I have now removed any mods ( except Reshade ) and repaired DCS, but that hasn't helped. So far it only seems to be an issue with MT. The weird thing is that I thought I had captured a track of this happening, but when I replayed the track, the ABRIS worked as it should. I have no idea why that is. Anyone got any ideas ?

KA-50 ABRIS - map not scaling with symbology
Extranajero replied to MortalMando's topic in Bugs and Problems
That fixed the scaling issue. Sadly it's not fixed the other issue I've got where sometimes the Abris screen starts out without the map - black screen - and then appears at some random time after takeoff. But that's just annoying rather than a huge problem. -
KA-50 ABRIS - map not scaling with symbology
Extranajero replied to MortalMando's topic in Bugs and Problems
Tick the box allowing padlock in the main GUI settings, and/or the mission editor ? I've never used padlock and have no idea as to how it works -
Appreciated, but it's obviously my settings at fault
-
It's me then, likely culprit is Reshade. Thanks
-
Have you had any comments about the visibility of lines connecting waypoints on the F10 map ? They are barely visible on my setup - but that could very easily be because I run Reshade ( which also affects the GUI ) and my gamma settings The zoomed map in cockpit - in the Hind - looks washed out as well, but then under some lighting conditions it was like that before I installed your chart.

Dual factor authentication for free trials?
Extranajero replied to Beirut's topic in Forum and Site Issues
They all cost money, and apart from using them to jump through ED's hoop I've got no need of them. If there are any free ones then I guarantee that it'll be me who is the product. -
Dual factor authentication for free trials?
Extranajero replied to Beirut's topic in Forum and Site Issues
So what would I need then ? if it's a mobile app from big tech I'm not using it and I don't use, or particularly want Steam either. -

Google desperately want your phone number because it helps them tie all the other things they already know about you to a device that tracks your location to within a few feet ( to a few inches in the case of Crapple phones - allegedly ) There is no end to the uses they can put this to learn more about you, which makes their data profile of you more valuable to advertisers. Most people don't care, but then most people don't really understand the extent of Googles spying. I am unwilling to have my very existence monetized for their own benefit by a morally bankrupt corporation, so I won't be installing their Authenticator. If ED ever requires me to give a phone number to Google just to use DCS then I will stop using it. -
Best place to find F-4E cockpit blueprints?
Extranajero replied to _BringTheReign_'s topic in DCS: F-4E Phantom
The point I'm making - my adorable little cupcake - is that to do anything useful with the model you have to import it into a 3D Cad program that works in real world units. Then you can produce old school dimensioned drawings, or eventually G Code, or STL files. -

Get ModelViewer to produce some G Code for me and I'll tell you, sweetie
