I've recently programmed more buttons on the throttle and have started getting ghosting issues. I was running the joystick & throttle through a USB hub. I have since removed the joystick/throttle combo from the hub and plugged them into the ports at the front of the PC. This seems to have helped with the ghosting. Is this typical? Once ghosting goes away is it likely to return? I'm running a Intel i5 processor with nVidia graphics card 660 Any info on this would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I'd like to try this, I've been meaning to try multiplayer but just need a 'shove' in the right direction. So Thursday, 13th March, can you please confirm time/timezone I'm in GMT? As asked above...can you please supply details, i.e. server name/password/TeamSpeak info? Looking forward to this Thanks Worther_1

Just checked out your 'nick' I see what you mean about the opening page! I'll get everything set up (including time off from missus and kids) and have a go! Thanks to all, Worther_1

Hi Guys, I'm afraid I have another query for MP....I now have an account and can log into Multiplayer ok. I have a 'cheap' headset and have downloaded TeamSpeak 3.0 (as this was recommended to me above). When I first run TeamSpeak the program requests a 'Nickname'....for clarity should this be: a). My Steam account name b). My pilot 'call sign' in DCS (from log book) c). My ED account name (Worther_1) d). Can be anything? I know this is probably I stupid question but I'm complete newbie to Multiplayer in general and there doesn't seem to be much info anywhere. I have noted that servers generally prefer that I select a 'push to talk' button to prevent misc banter. I just want to 'have a go' at flying with other people and see if I like it, hence 'cheap' headset to start with. I'm not a complete newbie to flying though, can operate most systems and all weapons in A10C (apart from refuelling). As always, I'd appreciate just a nudge or two in the right direction so I don't make a fool of myself, or inadvertently upset/offend experienced users. Thanks, Worther_1

Quick update...I've created an account and logged on in Multiplayer , found Enos Firehouse and joined just to watch as a spectator....need to find a headset next.... Thanks for help guys

Thanks for info above...sounds a little full on for me right now. When I'm ready would you say headset with microphone is essential? What program should I use? Any recommendations for either (headset would need to allow TrackIR side mount track clip pro)? Thanks again

Hi folks, I'm fairly new DCS, I have A10C, flaming cliffs and Black Shark 2 (not tried yet). I've seen many comments that multi player can be a good way to learn off experienced players. I tried to log in multi player but it said my user name/email was already registered. I tried to get password reminder in case it was the log in details for this site, but it said email not recognised. I'm confused, how do I log in/create an account for multi player action? :doh: Any advice will be great. Worther_1

Thanks again chaps I appreciate it, I think to practice I'll set a solo mission up as Maverick suggested. I have to although I've had this issue I'm enjoying flaming cliffs 3, and I've only flied the F-15 so far...looking forward to the challenge of carrier landings! Worther_1

I've just had a quick flight in F-15C to check out info supplied above, the problem I have is that when I select the ILS mode on HUD the only info I can see is the distance/time to airport, using the list above as a reference how do I know which airport is which? I've looked round the cockpit but I can't see any reference to the airport, except using the distance/bearing as a rough guide...surely there's a more accurate way of doing this? Apologies in advance if I'm missing something obvious. Wortner_1

The Hi folks, I've been playing flight Sims on and off for 20 years or so going back to the Lightening simulator on the Sinclair Spectrum! Recently got a PC after a few years on consoles and found DCS....wow what an amazing simulator. I have DCS A10C, Flaming Cliffs 3 (purchased last week) and Black Shark 2 (not tried yet bought in Steam sale). Thanks for help already received from this forum and I look forward to learning more as well as supporting DCS to ensure it carries on for many years to come. I'm hoping to 'fly' online soon when I can find the time.

Thanks again, glad to know you 'experienced' guy are willing to help us newbies. Worther_1

Thanks HiJack, that's exactly what I was looking for...should make things a bit easier!

Hi, I'm new to FC3, and I've spent my time flying F-15C and been enjoying it, although I'm having trouble using ILS landing data. I can change to ILS mode but I'm having trouble determining the correct ILS NAV data for the airport I need to land at, it appears that you can scroll through different landing sites with CTRL + ~ So can anyone please help me to select the correct runway? Thanks in advance, Worther_1
